My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Every experience brings strength, wisdom, and blessings.
Today’s song is “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” by the late and great songstress, Whitney Houston. The song says—
“I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble. I got through all the pain. I didn’t know my own strength.”
Dedicating this song to everyone who’s been through some really dark times, and to those who may be currently experiencing some. You are so much stronger than you know. God’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Just a friendly reminder. You are not behind. No, you’re right where you should be at this moment in time. Remember, everything happens according to God’s timing, not ours.
While waiting, your/our (yes, myself included☺️) job is to continue following God’s instructions and guidance until whatever we dreamed comes to fruition. And you know those instructions I’m referring to. Yeah…the ones you keep putting off like God doesn’t see you. Smile. Well, follow those instructions first, and everything else will fall into place. Before you know it, you’ll be standing in your dream.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning! Woke up this morning with this scripture playing over and over in my head.
Psalm 34:1—I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
Continually…
Never ceasing…
Always…
God’s praise shall continually be in my mouth. Amen
I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Singing:
“Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Hallelujah, amen. Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Revive us again.”
All praises to God. There’s a revival coming. As the saying goes, it’s always darkest before dawn. Well, dawn is right over the next horizon, meaning the revival is near. Very near.♥️
“Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Hallelujah, amen. Hallelujah, Thine the glory. Revive us again.”
Amen
Shaun
Good Morning! Smiling right now because I had planned on sharing the Facebook memory below, but this song keeps blaring over and over in my head. Yes, blaring! Laughing. So, I guess I’ll share both.
The song is “Love Isn’t Love” by Commissioned. It says, “Love isn’t love til you’ve given it away. It’s just waiting to be given. All bitterness erased.” That’s the part that’s stuck on repeat. Now it’s out. I pray whoever needs the message receives it. Smile. Now here’s today’s Facebook memory.
Facebook Memory: September 4, 2023
“When you’re ready to do it, you will do it. You won’t need motivation. The conditions won’t have to be right. You won’t have to have the money. Shoot… fear won’t even stop you. When you’re ready to make your move, you’ll make it, and everything else will fall into place.🤷🏽♀️”
All true. When you make up your mind to do something, you’ll just do it. It’s really that simple. It’s funny how we go back and forth with ourselves worried about what will and won’t work, and then one day, out of the blue, we just do it. I’m laying here thinking about so many things I was hesitant to do—some out of fear, others because I didn’t believe I was capable of doing—and then one day I just woke up and did them. Life is truly amazing.
Well, that’s it for now. I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Also, I’ll leave you with Commissioned’s song, “Love Isn’t Love.” Be Blessed
Good Morning! When was the last time you publicly celebrated your achievements? Is it something you find easy to do? Asking because I have always found it difficult, until recently. Now, I celebrate even the smallest of successes.
I wish I could say that after I shared my post five years ago (see second screenshot below) that I began publicly acknowledging my achievements, but it didn’t. It took me years to finally become comfortable enough to share even a few. As you will read in my post below, I didn’t even tell anyone about my role as the president of our state’s dietetics association (2016-2017). When I tell you it felt like I was leading two separate lives. And to be honest, I guess I was. I didn’t know how to be Shaun and LaShaundrea. I believe I’ve written about this before. It took me years to find a happy medium between the two, which didn’t actually happen until Year50.
Anyhoo, today things are different. I am not hiding anymore and I am celebrating all my achievements. I mean, how can I fully represent God if I continue to downplay the magnitude of His greatness in my life? Y’all, He’s been too good to me. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.🥰 ~Shaun
