My Journey With God, No. 103

Shaun Bradford

I spent the last week at one of my sisters’ houses dog-sitting. It was planned months ago. However, little did I know I would need that time to sit and unwind. I needed the solitude. While there, I rarely turned on the television or watched anything on social media. It was just me, God, and Pepé (her dog).

It was there that I realized I have been blessed with a life that I continuously try to complicate by making this or that venture happen. The hustle and bustle that needed to happen happened on the other side of 50 including helping raise my siblings, raising my kids, and taking care of my mom until she passed. Yes, all of that happened on the other side of 50. So, now is my time to just be and care for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have the same aspirations and dreams, but I don’t have to neglect my well-being or peace to have them. Just like everything else God’s given me, they’ll come with time. I now understand that being able to enjoy life at my own pace is a gift, a gift that I am humbly accepting.♥️

It’s In The Stillness

Shaun Bradford

It’s in the stillness that we hear God’s voice the clearest. It’s hard to hear him when our mind is going 100 miles a minute. Stillness is where we find clarity and peace.

My previous message was a call for stillness—Be still! So, I guess you can say this one is the follow up message, or part two. Smile. Praying stillness allows you to clearly hear God’s voice.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

About this drawing. Saw my iPad and wanted to draw. Pushed it aside and said I would do it later—which probably would have never happened. That’s when I heard to draw now. To stop waiting for the perfect time to do the things I truly enjoy. Now, was and is the perfect time.☺️ It’s in the stillness…

Be mindful of who and what you allow into your space.

I don’t usually blog twice in one day, but I feel the need to get this one out. As most of you know, I took a break from social media. Well, over the last week or so, I’ve gradually logged back onto each account. Up until a short while ago, everything was going well– or so I thought. What started out with what I felt was a positive, innocent video ended with another video filled with negative energy. Y’all, the first video wheeled me in. The second one left me feeling drained and in a negative mood.

I began this blog by saying be mindful of what you allow into your space. Truthfully, I knew long before I watched the first video that this particular Instagram account was filled with negativity. Most of the people I follow on this account rarely have anything good to share. Yet, I follow them because they always post the latest news. Well, after tonight’s experience, I now know it’s time to unfollow a few people. Y’all, my peace is way too valuable to lose. I’m so thankful for clarity!

By the way, my birthday month is finally here!! As usual, I’m celebrating all month long.

Good Night!
