God’s Timing, gratitude

Happy Friday!☀️

Reading past journal entries from this date and came across this entry—

An excerpt from August 14, 2014:

“I believe my purpose in life is to get my people from point A to point B. My job is to encourage the young to reach for the stars. They may have so many odds stacked against them, but the sky is the limit. They really need to know that if they dream it they really can achieve it and more. Some may ask why are you not where your dreams take you. My response is, I’m not sure. Bad decisions. Distractions. Maybe this is where God intended for me to be at the moment. But I do know there is so much more left for me to do. I do not desire to lead or be in the spotlight, but whatever God has planned for me I will do. I will do what I must to make sure my people excel!”

Whew!! These past 12 years have seemed like a very long journey. A journey I did not know I would take. But God did. He knew, and He equipped and guided me every step of the way to get to where I am today.

This particular part of the entry has me in tears this morning—

“Some may ask why are you not where your dreams take you. My response is, I’m not sure. Bad decisions. Distractions. Maybe this is where God intended for me to be at the moment. But I do know there is so much more left for me to do.”

My answer today is—I am where I need to be at this moment in time. I’m fulfilling God’s purpose for my life. Bad decisions didn’t stop me. Distractions didn’t stop me. They’re part of my story—part of my journey to becoming who God’s created me to be. I am so grateful and blessed to have experienced such a wonderful 12 years. I am where my dreams have taken me. I’m sitting right in them.

Y’all, God is so good! I absolutely love my life.🥰

This is all for now. Have a wonderful day and weekend. Be sure to treat yourself with love and kindness, and give yourself grace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Friday!

Shaun Bradford

It’s Friday! Seems like this week flew by. Honestly, this year is flying by. Don’t blink too fast because it’ll be over and you’ll find yourself in the middle of 2027 asking where the time went.

Time…

It’s a tricky little thing.

So complex and should be respected.

Today, my goal is to be intentional about moving in the present. I want to feel the space I’m in right now. This afternoon, tomorrow, next week, and next year will have a space of their own. This time in space is what I’ve been blessed with and I’m going to handle it with care.

I pray you have an amazing Friday and an even better weekend.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Good Things Take Time

Shaun Bradford

Feeling grateful and blessed this morning.

On July 9, 2022, I shared the following reel in my Facebook stories with the sticker “Good things take time.” This memory is a much needed reminder that good things do take time.

Nutrition with LaShaundreaB (NwLB) is still here! It’s gone through many phases of development over the past four years. I thought I would launch it and it would be an instant success. Laughing because my plans and timing were not aligned with God’s. I’m glad it didn’t take off then, because many things happened afterward that needed my focus. However, I now realize I had to start it, even if things didn’t go as planned. It was the seed being planted.

Over the years, I have continued to nurture NwLB—making changes here and there. It’s not where I want it to be, but it’s growing and one day it will be a display of God’s glory.😊

This is all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day today! You deserve it.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It’s Time To Take That Leap!

Shaun Bradford

Hey Y’all!

Happy Self-Love Saturday!

I couldn’t decide which one of Shaun’s Daily Inspiration posts to link with today’s post, so I’m linking both!

It’s time to take that leap you’ve been hesitant to take. No more excuses—

“Take The Leap” by Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

The Quote of the Day is—

“If you keep standing on the verge of greatness, you’ll eventually get the opportunity to leap into it.” –Curtis Tyrone Jones

You’ve been standing on the verge long enough—Leap into it!✨

Wishing you a wonderful weekend!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
