My Journey With God, No. 85

April 18, 2025April 18, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Yesterday, I shared the New King James Version of the Bible verse, Psalm 23:6, which uses the phrase “goodness and mercy.” However, not all versions of the Bible use the term “mercy.” Instead, some use “love”. Here is the New International Version (NIV) version of the same verse:

Psalm 23:6

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

“Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life.”

Of course, I want God’s goodness and mercy to follow me all the days of my life; however, I also want His love to follow me. I never want to be without either of these—including the last part of the verse—“And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

Oh, to have God’s goodness, mercy, and love with me every day and to live in His presence forever. What a beautiful gift!

I am truly blessed—beyond blessed.🥰

Hello Sunday

April 13, 2025April 13, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

On April 13, 2022, I was listening to Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s song, “For Your Glory.” The song says—

Lord if I
Find favor in Your sight
Lord please
Hear my hearts cry

I’m desperately waiting
To be where You are
I’ll cross the hottest desert
I’ll travel near or far

For Your glory
I will do anything
Just to see You
To behold You as my King

I wanna be where You are
Peace is where You are
Joy is where You are
And love is who You are

Lyrics: LyricFind and Missing Link Music

Wherever God is, there’s peace, joy, and love. I don’t want to be anywhere He’s not. Our existence is for God’s glory.

I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed Sunday. Wishing you much peace, joy, and love.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Obedience to God leads to an abundance of blessings, including the intangible—peace, love, and joy—which cannot be bought. Life tends to flow easier when obedient.

May your world be filled with an abundance of blessings. You deserve them.♥️

I love you much,

My Journey With God, No. 82

April 7, 2025April 7, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

God is always working and moving, even when it appears He’s not. Here are a few memories from April 7th.

April 7, 2022 and 2018

This is a photo of a rock I painted at the same conference held four years earlier, **April 7, 2018**. “Trust” was one of my biggest barriers to moving forward. I had lost trust in almost every aspect of my life—family, job, profession, and myself. I was at ‘rock’ bottom and in the process of figuring out how to rebuild the trust I once had in those areas, as well as in unfamiliar areas I was tapping into.

On April 7, 2022, at the same conference mentioned above, I was presented with an award for Nutritionist of the Year. I had no idea I was receiving an award and had left the conference to check out of my hotel room. I remember receiving texts from several colleagues congratulating me and asking where I was.🤦🏽‍♀️😅

April 7, 2024

In 2018, I was going through a weird phase in my career and wanted change. I needed it! I was losing confidence and trust in the work I was doing and in myself. So, a few months after the conference, I enrolled in a doctoral program to pursue a Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) degree. I had already been working in community and public health nutrition, so it seemed like the logical move at the time. Plus, as I mentioned earlier, I needed a change. That was 2018.

Three years later (2021), I took a leap to become a full-time, independent consultant. That was around the end of the pandemic. At that time, I hadn’t seen my colleagues in person for over a year, so I felt pretty isolated. However, it was also during that time that I decided to promote our profession and my colleagues on my social media platform, Mississippi Thriving. I wanted Mississippians to know who we were and what our contributions were to improving our citizens’ health. So, I reached out to our dietitians asking if they’d be willing to be showcased on Mississippi Thriving’s “RDN Saturdays” (something I came up with early one morning🤷🏽‍♀️☺️), and several agreed! Hence, one of the reasons for the award I received.

Looking back, I’ve actually done a lot more than I thought over the past ten years. In no way am I bragging. I’m only acknowledging my accomplishments. For the longest time, I’ve felt like my life’s been stagnant, but in reality, it’s been moving. God’s been moving!

Y’all, I can’t say it enough, I am truly, truly blessed.🥰
