Look At God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning ☀️

On October 17, 2015, I was transitioning from one stage in life to another, at least that’s how I saw it. I was getting a divorce, and my house was in foreclosure. So yes, I was in transition.

On that day, I wrote in my journal how a coworker had given me tickets to a college football game. I was excited because I had only been to one other game and sat in the nosebleed section; however, these seats were great!

Me and my pictures.☺️

I also mentioned that I had decided not to wear my school t-shirt the day before and said God must have known I’d be wearing it to the game. When I told my son—who was 12 at the time—about the tickets and my decision not to wear my t-shirt the day before, he said, “Look at God!” He was being funny, but “Look at God.” Even in the midst of one of the most difficult moments in my life, God still managed to shower me with blessings and make me feel loved.

I can hear Koryn Hawthorne singing “Look at God”—

“Look at God. He’s making a way. Look at God—every day. Look at God. I can’t take no credit. He’s the one who did it. Look at God.”

Y’all, God is so good. He’s so very good to me. Thanking Him for His kindness, mercy, and grace, and for loving me. I’m truly blessed.🙏🏽🥰

I pray that you have a beautifully blessed day and wonderful weekend. May both be filled with “Look at God” moments.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 119

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday, I slept most of the day. I was exhausted and wasn’t feeling too great. Had to take a Zyrtec and cough medicine. Today’s much better, but I’m still taking it easy.

While at the conference, I didn’t have much time to think about everyday things. I was living in the moment, trying to stay focused on everything I needed to accomplish. However, now that I’m back home, the stillness has awakened the realness of life. It’s also allowed me to think more clearly about my next moves and where I ultimately want to be. I met a lot of like-minded dietitians during this trip, whom I plan to connect with soon. Global has always been my dream. It’s the vision God gave me. It’s the path I’ve been on my entire life. I must stay focused this time.

Before writing this post, I read my journal entry from October 16, 2014. Here’s some of what I wrote:

Shaun’s Journal: October 16, 2014

TD Jakes just posted on Twitter “Now is the time to birth your promise. If you can handle the pain, you can have the promise!”  

Now is the time!! I know Lord and I believe it! I’m going through so much right now but Lord I know you got me. You keep showing me over and over again. I just have to trust you. I know you have a lot for me to do. Something important. That’s why I keep getting hit. But God you keep picking me up!! Thank you Lord! Even when I fall short you are still here!! Hallelujah!!!!

Over the past eleven years, I have experienced so many ups and downs, jumped through many hoops, and tried many different approaches to achieving my dreams and goals, but none have worked. However, I have learned so much along the way, especially about myself. This time—yes, this time—I must see things through.

Now is the time.♥️

Love Is…

Shaun Bradford
October 14, 2022

For me, love is…

Breathing easier.

Living carefree.

Being loved for being authentically me.

That’s love.🥰

What is love for you?

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8. Love never fails.

Today is my last day in Nashville. This has been one BUSY trip but a lot of fun. I don’t want the fun to end, but I am exhausted! Can’t wait to get home. Lol

I pray you have a beautiful day. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
