Quick Word for You

When you take that leap of faith… that giant leap of faith where there’s no going back, know that God is with you. Every step you take, He takes, unless you leave Him behind. And please, whatever you do, don’t leave God behind. You cannot afford to move without Him.

Final word…

Trust God.

He’s got YOU!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Happy Sunday☀️

I pray your weekend is going well. I forgot that it’s Labor Day weekend and most people are off work tomorrow. So, please enjoy your extended weekend!

This morning, I’ve been scrolling through the photos on my phone, looking at what I saved or captured on this date over the past ten years. Life is so interesting. I have had so many different looks and experiences. Time has really flown by. Grateful to still be here.🙏🏽

Not sure what I’ll do today—what memories I’ll make. Think I’ll just go with the flow…

Here’s a short video of the quotes I shared on September 6, 2022:

Y’all take it easy and enjoy your day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

The Air I Breathe

Singing “Air I Breathe” by Byron Cage. Feel free to sing and worship along. The song says—

“This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence
Living in me
…”

Y’all, God is so good. I am so thankful His presence surrounds and lives in me. Amen


Not only is today Self-Love Saturday, but it’s the International Day of Charity. While you’re showing yourself a little love, please consider supporting one of your local charities. So many people are in need, and anything you can give—even if all you can afford to give is your time—will go a long way. Believe me, your little is someone’s blessing.🙏🏽

This is all for the moment. Wishing you a wonderfully blessed day.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

For God’s Glory

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Friday!

Since I’m wide awake, I thought I’d go ahead and share a post. The song of the hour is Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s “For Your Glory.” The song says—

Lord if I
Find favor in Your sight
Lord please
Hear my hearts cry…

For Your glory
I will do anything
Just to see You
To behold You as my King

Several posts ago, I posed the question “What do you want most from life?” Well, my answer is for God’s glory to shine through me. I’m not asking to be perfect, nor do I ever want to be, but I do want God’s glory to shine through me and everything I do. I want others to feel what I feel when I think of my experiences with God. Sometimes I stop and think, “I know people think I’m crazy or losing it.” Laughing. But y’all, my experiences with God are truly indescribable. I’m forever in awe of Him! This doesn’t mean I don’t ever feel down, get hurt, experience pain, or cry, because all of this happens. However, it’s how God shows up not only in bad times but also in the most wonderful times that amazes me. I want everyone to have these God experiences.

I can’t express it enough how good God is, and how truly blessed I am.


I pray you have a wonderful day and weekend. May you experience the presence of God’s glory. May it rest upon you and shine through you.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

People are so interesting. Never a dull moment in this world.

Something Beautiful Is Happening

Hello and Happy Thursday!☀️

Something beautiful is happening in the atmosphere. This week alone, I’ve witnessed people step up, walk in their callings, and receive blessing after blessing. Y’all, it’s been so beautiful to watch. The testimonies alone have left me smiling and sometimes weeping happy tears. God is so good! Be careful not to miss the good things happening around you and in your life as well. Believe me, the blessings are there. You just have to be open to recognizing and receiving them.

Again, God is so good!

This is all I have for you today. Have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, peace, and happiness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 147

“I choose to make the rest of my life the best of my life.” –Louise Hays

Quote of the Day – 9.02.2026

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure of celebrating my friend Ms. Raylawni’s 85th birthday with her. Y’all, she had so much fun! I am so grateful and blessed that God brought us together. I’m so thankful for divine connections. I love my friend.

This past Sunday, we spent the day together laughing and reminiscing about the “good old days,” which was actually me listening to her tell stories about her amazing life. We also watched the Roberta Flack documentary. Y’all, Roberta was a fascinating human being! I was so in awe of her story. Did you know she produced music under the name Rubina Flake? They described Rubina as her alter ego, saying she became a bolder person as Rubina.

I can’t express enough how grateful I am for life. I’m so grateful and blessed that God’s allowed me to live it as I have. To have witnessed and experienced all I have through the eyes of others.

Y’all, life is meant to be lived!

Sitting here thinking about one of Ms. Raylawni’s friends, Ms. Cee, who I spent an evening with last week. Now, her story is one for the books. She was a professional dancer in her younger years, and later a studio owner. The way she described her life was like that of a Hallmark and Lifetime movie. A little love and lots of drama.


Please allow me a moment of gratitude:

God, thank You for loving me! For allowing me to witness Your greatness in real time. I do not take Your love, goodness, or kindness for granted. I know that I am blessed—truly blessed🙏🏽


This is all I have for now. Listen, if you want to truly live, sit and stay in God’s presence. He will give you experiences that will satisfy your soul. Yeah…His experiences are soul deep!

Have a blessed day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Brussels Sprouts

How do you like your Brussels sprouts? That is, if you like them at all.😊

I had Brussels sprouts this weekend. Click the link below to read how I prepared mine.

Today’s post is about one of my all-time favorite veggies, Brussels sprouts. As a child, I hated Brussels sprouts! Even though I thought they were …

Hello September

September is here, and summer is coming to an end. I enjoyed the summer, but I’m looking forward to what autumn brings.🍂

The song of the hour is Earth, Wind, and Fire’s “Keep Your Head to the Sky.” The song says—

Step right up, and be a man
‘Cause you need faith to understand
So we’re saying for you to hear
Keep your head in faith’s atmosphere…

That last line says it all—

“Keep your head in faith’s atmosphere.”

Listen, as you go about this month, remember who you are and Whose you are. Let faith guide the way.

Wishing you a month filled with blessings, love, happiness, peace, and joy.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Good Morning!☀️

Here’s today’s quote—

“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” –Nelson Mandela

Quote of the Day – 8.31.2026

Earlier, I came across a post from a renowned author and photographer (we’ll call her Lis) whom I met years ago after she spoke at an event I attended. I know I caught her off guard with my enthusiastic claim that our meeting was somehow a divine encounter. I said something to the effect that I knew God orchestrated our meeting and that we’d work together someday. Well, that day never came. Laughing. However, we became Facebook friends, and she did meet my mom. Lis interviewed my mom for a book she was writing and took photos of her—which made my mom feel so special. So, although we never worked together, the time she spent with my mom was so worth our meeting. Smiling.

The reason today’s quote and Lis’ post are so significant is because they were both divinely timed. Lis shared her post three days ago, but I didn’t see it until this morning, after today’s quote was posted. You see, Lis and I both began our doctoral journeys (in different fields) at the same time (Summer of 2018). She finished and became a professor, and I quit and started pursuing other ventures/adventures. Seeing Lis’ post reminded me of the journey I sometimes question whether I allowed fear to stop me from pursuing. I know that my heart wasn’t truly in it; however, deep down it was still a goal I wanted to achieve. It was a space that challenged me, and I caved under the pressure—just being honest and transparent.

Again, I needed to see the quote and post because I have so much work to do that will require me to operate at a different level. A few months ago, I became the southern region representative for our state’s Public Health Association. Public health, advocacy, policy making, and program development were the focus of my DrPH (Doctor of Public Health) degree.

I have a lot to think about and some decisions to make. This time I need to let hope guide my decisions and choices, not my fears.

Y’all, pray my strength in the Lord. Smile

Have a wonderful day and week!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
