My Journey With God, No. 141

Shaun Bradford

Over the past year, my life has become more eventful, not in a bad way, but in a way that has made me step back and reassess how I’ve been handling the flow of things. Recently, I’ve had to say no to exciting opportunities that weren’t a good fit for this moment in my life. I’ve also had to set a few boundaries—not necessarily for others, but for myself. Sometimes I have to protect myself from myself. Right now, I’m in the process of finding a healthy balance between doing everything I want to do (I would love to do everything my mind imagines) and what I’m actually capable of doing without getting burned out.

I didn’t want to stop posting at Day 1800—I loved the challenge of seeing how far I could go—but I needed to set an endpoint. Posting was becoming more of a burden than something I enjoyed. You see, it really bothered me whenever I missed a scheduled post or couldn’t post as often as I needed. No one was forcing me to post at a certain time or a set number of times. I made those choices. Then, when I felt the internal pressure to keep it up, I became overwhelmed. See the need for boundaries and balance—had to protect myself from me.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m not gone. I’m still around. I just had to end to begin again. If that makes sense. I needed a hard reset!

Don’t forget, you can find my daily inspirational posts and quotes at ShaunsDailyInspiration.com. Right now, I only post once a day, and those are pretty much scheduled.

Until I write again, take care of yourself!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Celebrating 1,800 Days🎉

Shaun Bradford

Today, I’m celebrating 1800 consecutive days of blogging!!🎉🎉 Which is equivalent to 4.932 years—almost five years! Woohoo!!✨

A few months back, I mentioned that sooner or later I would have to separate my personal posts from my inspirational ones. Well, it’s time! Shaun’s Daily Inspiration now has its own page: ShaunsDailyInspiration.com.

I also mentioned that Day 1800 would be the day I end my daily posting streak. Honestly, I’m not sure when or if it will end—because I do love it here—however, most of my focus will be on my newest page. So, I’m not gone. I just won’t be posting here as much.

Before I end, I want to THANK YOU for rocking with me for the past five to almost eight years (June will make eight years). I have truly enjoyed this space. Thank you for allowing me to be ME. As I said, I love it here!🥰

Wishing you a beautiful Sunday. Please enjoy every moment.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Created For This Moment

Shaun Bradford

Have you ever found yourself asking—

“Why me?”

“Why now?”

Well, the answer is quite simple yet so complex. God created YOU for this specific moment in time. You needed to be this age, in this year, living in your current space, and living the life you’re presently living for a reason. There is something so unique that only YOU can do and provide. Instead of asking why, ask, “God, what do You have for me to do in this moment? How can I best serve You and those You’ve placed in my path to serve?”

This morning, I’m personally asking—

“God, what do you have for me to do? How can I best represent You and carry out Your assignment(s) in this moment?”

I’m listening, God…

It’s self-love Saturday! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
