Never Settle For Less
Facebook Memory: November 14, 2022
Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”
Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!♥️
On another note…
TODAY IS MY BESTIES’ 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!
Y’all, we have been friends since we were toddlers (2-3 years old). We also share the same name (Shaun & Shawn). How wild is that, especially since I was born in Mississippi and she was born in Chicago. Our mothers were never friends. We met through our grandparents who were neighbors. Most of our lives we lived in different places. I was always between Mississippi and Kansas and she was everywhere—Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and Mississippi. Although we rarely saw each other outside of summer vacations, we kept in touch through letters. I am so grateful and blessed to have her in my life.
The Answer is “Wait”

One of the EASIEST things to do is repeat past mistakes because of impatience. One of the HARDEST things to do is wait because nothing seems to be happening. Today, I encourage you to WAIT!
Wishing you a fabulous Friday and lovely weekend! Love you!♥️

There is power in the wait. Don’t believe me? Keep waiting. God is going to blow your mind.♥️ ~ Shaun
The Process: Part 2
As soon as I published my last blog I could hear God speaking, calming my frustration. Yes, I was a little frustrated. Here is the message He gave me. Hopefully you can use it too. It’s for all of us who have become frustrated with this growth process.
The message…
Do not be discouraged. You are exactly where you are suppose to be. You may think that you should be further along but you are not. Timing is everything.
Then I was reminded of what a speaker had said about timing. They said everything happens at an appointed time—meaning everything connects when it is meant to. I’m not sure who said it but they said what if the person you were meant to connect with wasn’t even born when you expected things to happen. What if God is still preparing that person or thing you are supposed to connect with? Do you jump the gun because you are too impatient to wait? Do you ditch the process all together because you do not see anything happening? Or do you wait, and continue waiting, until the time is right?
God has reassured me that everything will happen at its appointed time. Frustration will also happen. Unfortunately, it is part of the process. However, we do not have to give in to our frustrations or make rash decisions. No, what we must do is lean into God even more, and allow Him to guide us to where we are meant to be. We will get there. Love you!♥️

Give It To God
You know better than I do what “it” means to you. So whatever “it” is, give it to God. Release it. Let it go. Let Him handle it.♥️ ~Shaun
Side Note:
When God has a message for you, you best believe He will make sure you receive it. Now whether or not you obey it is on you.
Funny story… or more like a transparent moment… guess I have been feeling Year50 a little too much. I’m not going to lie, I have been like, “if it did not happen on that side of 50 I’m moving on.” Every time these moments happened I would hear God ask if I had consulted Him. Well, I would tune Him out. I didn’t want hear anything about consulting Him because I felt like I had been consulting with Him long enough on issues I could clearly handle on my own. Told you I’m being very transparent.
Well, this morning we had a meeting and I had to let go of a few hurts and disappointments, hurts and disappointments stemming from things not happening in my time, or the time limit I had placed on Him (God)–everything had to happen before 50. My mind and mouth said I was okay with His timing, but my heart and soul were not okay. Until this morning, I had not allowed myself to feel the pain of those hurts. I wanted to leave everything behind. But as we all know, whatever we don’t fully address will always be lurking in the background just waiting for the opportunity to resurface.
Here’s the message I received this morning, and get this… I wrote it. Must have written it specifically for this moment–gotta love God’s timing!

Wait!

Y’all, yesterday was one for the books! I was having an emotional breakdown (being very honest and transparent). I had reached my limit of frustration and everything I had been bottling up came pouring out. By yesterday evening, I had decided to bypass God and take matters into my own hands. Y’all, I’m so grateful for growth. For maturity. For a stronger relationship with God. Yesterday, I almost repeated the same exact mistake I made 20 years ago. Now, I’m crying (happy tears) because this time I recognized what I was doing and said NOT THIS TIME! Nah.. I’ve learned my lesson. It’s best to WAIT.
Y’all have a great day and thank you sooo much for allowing me to ramble.

God’s Plan IS the Best
Have you ever found yourself ‘secretively’ devising an alternate plan just in case God’s plan isn’t the right fit or He’s moving much too slowly? Well, I have. Funny thing is it’s not a secret. He sees us! The best thing we can do is be still and wait because y’all, His plan IS the best plan. ~ Shaun
