Life Lessons

Shaun Bradford
March 29, 2022

Life wouldn’t be LIFE without lessons along the way. As I mentioned four years ago, you can’t grow without them.

Learn from the lessons.

Glean from the lessons.

Then, grow from the lessons.

They weren’t meant to destroy you, but to elevate you.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

To God Be The Glory

Shaun Bradford

I fell asleep much too early! Now I’m up. But not for long. I wanted to share this song with you before I turn over and attempt to go to sleep. It’s the song that’s been playing in my head for a while now. The song is “To God Be The Glory,” Andrae Crouch’s rendition.

The song says—

To God be the glory
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
For the things He has done

With His Blood He has saved me
With His power He has raised me
To God be the glory
For the things He has done

I’m so thankful I was introduced to songs of worship and praise at a young age. They are instilled in me. As I write, I can feel my spirit worshipping God. Hallelujah

Singing—

“To God be the glory for the things He has done.” Amen

Talk to you later.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

I’m Ready to Share This Part of My Life

Shaun Bradford

Over the years, I have danced around writing about my desire to find love again. I’ve spoken about my divorce and sometimes hinted that I wanted to remarry, but I have never said anything directly.

Well, today I am. As I was looking for something to share for Self-Love Saturday, I found this entry in my journal written on March 28, 2019. Usually, I’m hesitant to share something so personal, but this time I’m not. No anxiety. No fear. No still small voice telling me not to. Only feelings of being free to be me.

This entry really made me smile because I wrote it to my future self.☺️

Shaun’s Journal Entry, March 28, 2019

I have to be somewhere at 10:00, but before I leave, I’m dedicating this to you.

Note to future LaShaundrea:

I love you. You will find love AND love will find you. No more one sided relationships. Who God has destined as your partner, king, lover, best friend, provider, the one that is going to love you like God loves you, will come. Everything takes time (God’s preparing him, too). Enjoy where you are. I know you don’t feel loved right now. I know you’re sad. Not depressed, but sad (there’s a difference). God is working as we speak. Everything will be okay. People will never understand your excitement, but he will and he’ll embrace it. He will love you like God loves you. You will not want for anything. Don’t worry, he won’t take God’s place. He can’t. Your gratitude will always be given to God. Amen

I love you, Shaun. 🤗🥰

I love that I thought about my future self.🥰

Today, I’m just here.

Not looking.

Just being me.

Don’t get me wrong, I still want to love and be loved, and I want to get married again. Even though I didn’t marry the right man the first time, and we had our issues, I still loved being married.

Anyhoo…

Have a wonderful weekend! Remember to do something just for YOU. You deserve it!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
