Mellow Moments

Shaun Bradford

Just dropping in to say “Hello!” I have scrolled through my Facebook memories several times and I am not really feeling what I shared on this day; so, there won’t be a Facebook memory for my first post. Maybe for my second post. I also read through a few journal entries from today, and still nothing. I have to feel somewhat connected to what I share, and today nothing stands out.

By the way, nothing is wrong. I’m not sad or depressed. Just don’t feel like being on “10” this morning. Today is more like a “5,” pretty mellow. I am allowed a moment like this, right? Laughing

Think I will turn over and go back to sleep for a few more minutes.

Wishing you a beautiful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Thought I’d create something to go with the mood. (Giggles)

Buckle Up

Shaun Bradford

Life is definitely one interesting ride. If you really want to live, buckle up!♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: April 29, 2022

Welcome to this ride called, Life! Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, highs and lows. Just when you think you have things figured out, you discover you don’t. My advice– Buckle up and go with the flow. TRUST GOD. He’s ALWAYS in control!

Trust God.

It’s All About Timing

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a memory from five years ago—

Facebook Memory: April 28, 2019

Happy Sunday! Here’s today’s social media find. Remember, you have been planted, not buried. You may not be where you thought you’d be by now, and things may not be going as planned. It’s okay. Don’t give up on your dreams, or settle where you are. Your time is coming. You WILL bloom!

Not sure who to give photo credit to. (Social Media, 2019)

As SpongeBob SquarePants would say—

FIVE YEARS LATER…

Yes, it’s been five years and I am still saying the same thing, “Your time is coming.” Also, when I made the original post, I added the hashtags “BePatient,” “GodIsWorking,” “TrustGodsTiming,” and “YourTimeIsComing.”

I know you may feel like the journey has already been much too long. Yeah, I feel it too. However, instead of focusing on the length of time it is taking, think about all of the knowledge and experience you have gained over the years. Think about God’s protection from things that may have destroyed you. Think about all of the beautiful connections you have made, and the ones you had to release. And don’t forget the healing and growth that has taken place. When I tell you your purpose is too great for anything to happen prematurely. Believe me, you are going to bloom…when it’s time. Not a moment too soon or too late, but when it’s your time. Until then, enjoy life and all of God’s blessings and lessons along the way. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Wise words from last year… and I wrote them. Smile

Facebook Memory: April 28, 2022

Set yourself free! Release past hurts, guilt, disappointments and shame. Harboring even the smallest resentment can make it difficult to receive and enjoy blessings. Release opens doors for receiving love, joy, opportunities, and success. Let go and be free!

It’s true, if you want your life to change for the better, you have to let things go. Holding on to past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and even shame, only hurts you. It also stops you from fully growing and receiving all of God’s wonderful blessings. Listen, I don’t know about you, but I don’t only want some of my blessings. No… l want all of my blessings. Every last single one. Smile. Let it go!

On another note— My daughter came home yesterday for her friends’ wedding and is leaving this afternoon. So, I am going to spend as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. Smiling

Praying you have a wonderful Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust & Patience Lead To Peace

Shaun Bradford

Many, many moons ago, I ended my Yahoo emails with the following message:

Trust + Patience = Peace
“Enjoy Life 💖”

Circa 2013/2014

Never once considered that would be the message I would live by.

Trust: I trust God’s love, guidance, and protection. I know He has me in His hands. I’m covered.

Patience: Whew! Never knew I could be so patient, but God did.

Peace: There is nothing like it. I was right. Trust and patience, together, lead to peace.

and…

That last part… “Enjoy Life💖” is my daily goal. Life is short, and I try my best not to waste time in negative spaces or feelings.

Y’all, I am so grateful and blessed that God loves me. He leaves behind the tiniest of gems for me to find when they are needed the most. It’s those gems that keep me trusting Him and His word. It’s those gems that keep me going.♥️

Welcome to my world…

Shaun
