My Journey With God, No. 79

Shaun Bradford

I began this morning with a note from my past self telling my future self (me today) that she loves me. See my last post, “I Love You.” Well, the messages to myself didn’t stop there. My morning inspiration also came from my past writings.

I was scrolling through my photos, and this one caught my eye.

I’m listening, God.

It dawned on me that the reason I haven’t completely embraced where God is taking me is because I’ve been resisting it. I’ve been running. Not intentionally, but I have. I shared the image/quote on March 8, 2024, and here’s the blog post I shared it in—

Stop Running (March 8, 2024)

Here’s one of my Facebook Memories from a year ago.

Facebook Memory: March 8, 2023

“It’s not even mid-morning and I have a message:

Stop running from what you’re called to do and where you are called to be. God will equip you with everything you need when you need it. Trust Him.♥️”

Well… 

It’s time to stop running. You already know what you are called to do. Time to do it!

Don’t worry. God’s got you.♥️

Ha! Little did I know what God had planned. And sure enough, I have been running. Today, because I must, I have to stop running, stop resisting, and embrace where God’s taking me.

I’m listening, God.🙏🏽

I Love You

Good Morning☀️

On March 28, 2019, I began my journal entry with—

“Note to future LaShaundrea: I love you.”

Can’t help but cry.

Shaun… LaShaundrea, I love YOU! I love you for life. I love the little girl, teenager, young adult, and now seasoned adult you’ve become, and the wise elder you will be. Yes, I love ALL of YOU.

Many thanks to my past self for leaving that message for me. I have a notification on my phone set at different times throughout the day that says, “Smile. I love you.” I set them to remind me to smile and know I am loved. Well, now it’s just something that pops up and I swipe away. However, seeing this today means so much more. I needed to see it today.

Thank you, past Shaun, for sending love to me today, of all days. Smiling while crying. The fact that I didn’t send it to future Shaun, but to future LaShaundrea is mind blowing. Although we’re the same person, we are not the same. LaShaundrea needs the love today.

Y’all, welcome to my world, where I leave messages for my future self.

I love my life. I used to wonder, and still do at times, why God created me the way He did. I believe the answer is because He loves me, and He loves what He created.

I love you!♥️

Shaun/LaShaundrea

Baby LaShaundrea.🥰
