My Journey With God, 144

Shaun Bradford

Question:

Why does God put so many desires and dreams in our hearts only for us to have to choose which ones to fulfill in our lifetime?

Long, long, long sigh…

If you’ve been following me for at least three years or more, you may have noticed that I don’t mind pivoting to follow wherever my passions take me. I truly don’t.

As I look back over my life, I have always followed some passion of mine. From the military to culinary to dietetics to research to advocacy—haven’t even mentioned my creative side—I’m forever following a passion. It’s like I can’t stop. Ugh…

This morning, I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to connect all of my passions. And y’all, I have MANY! Every single passion I’ve ever had still lies within me. I mean every single one.

I must find a way to connect them all.

Yesterday, my daughter’s fiancé took me to tour his new workplace. The last company he worked for had a phenomenal space—it was so nice. I loved the warm and inviting atmosphere. However, this new company has the kind of environment I always longed to work in. From the outdoor spaces to the break areas to the artwork and creative spaces, I was on cloud nine. It wasn’t just the space, but the technology aspects of it all. Y’all, I’m a low-key techie and their setup made my day.

Side note: Since eighth grade, I’ve been in love with coding and technology. Even before then, I was designing flying cars and preparing to live in outer space. I was so ready for this era. At least I thought I was.😅

During the tour, I took a moment to sit in that space, to be in that atmosphere, to take it all in.

There has to be a way for me to do everything I desire to do. I just know there is! God wouldn’t have put all of this in me just for it to remain inside of me. Laughing because He knows I love a challenge, and I believe this one is going to be my biggest yet. I have to create something that will incorporate all of my passions, desires, and dreams.

Here are a few pictures from my tour. I just loved the art. And they had Scrabble games, books, puzzles, and creative spaces everywhere. Y’all, I was on cloud nine, for real.

My kind of world…

Anyhoo… here’s today’s inspiration— In God’s Strength— “God’s strength will take you much further than your own.”

Today, I’m tapping into God’s strength for real because ain’t no way I’m leaving this world without doing every single thing I desire to do!!

This journey of mine is an adventure indeed, and I’m loving every moment of it.

Feeling grateful and blessed.♥️

Signed with much love,

Quietly Seated with God

Shaun Bradford

For a little over a month now, I have been quietly seated In God’s Presence. If you’ve ever stepped away from your daily routines to sit with God, then you know “sitting” with God is not a passive act. It’s very active.

First, God shows you your life. He shows you your past, where you are now, and all of your beautiful blessings. Next, He shows you your future—where He plans to take you. Then, He lovingly tells you that you’ll never fully hold all that He has planned if you don’t surrender your plans for His. Afterwards, He gently begins to guide and mentor you through the steps of becoming the person He knows you can be. The one He’s shown you.

So, you sit quietly in God’s presence. You take in His wisdom, love, and grace. You block the outside noises. And you move as He moves.

You become aligned with God.

Being seated in God’s presence is a life changing experience. If you want to fully experience God’s love and peace, I encourage you to become quiet and sit with Him. I have to warn you though, you may not like or agree with everything He reveals at first. However, I challenge you to remain seated and quiet. That’s when the true experience happens. It’s when God reveals His love for you as His child and how He sees you. You’re Royalty!

Become quiet and sit with God. I promise you, you will not regret the experience.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
