Hello Sunday

March 23, 2025March 22, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Wanted to begin the day with something uplifting—

Isaiah 12:2–5 (NIV)

2. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.”

3. With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

4. In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted.

5. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world.

Thankful for God’s love, mercy, grace, kindness, patience, guidance, and peace. I am blessed. Amen

I hope you had a lovely Saturday and that your Sunday is just as lovely.♥️

Love you much,

Shaun

Y’all, God is so good! Yesterday, when I shared my “I’m Here” post, I had no idea Bishop T. D. Jakes had preached a similar message on Wednesday. As I said yesterday, the image and message I shared was based on me searching through my pictures on my phone for the word “here.” I had no idea there was so much more God wanted to share with me. Whew!!

Since God shared this message with me, I’m sharing it with you. I hope it blesses you as much as it blessed me.♥️

Y’all, I’m STILL here!!

My Journey With God, No. 77

Good Morning☀️ It’s Self-love Saturday and I decided to sleep in.😌 I hope you decided to do the same.💕

Here’s what I wrote six years ago—

The “social media find” I shared on March 22, 2019. Image credit: Unknown.

When I tell you this Facebook memory is so timely! Although it’s been six years, I feel it more than ever today. You see, next Saturday, I will be attending our state’s annual dietetics conference, where I will be introduced as the incoming president for 2025–2026.

Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel at the moment. Seems like I have been going nonstop since taking on the role of president-elect. So much has changed since I was last president (2016–2017), and even more is changing now that our government is moving in a different direction. We are a nonpartisan organization and have to move as such. Meaning, my personal feelings and opinions have to take a backseat during this ride. It’s a lot, but I’m up for the challenge. As I have asked myself so many times throughout my adult life, “How did I get here?” Laughing. My life and its adventures. As Mario from Mario Bros. would say, “Here we go!”

Honestly, who would have thought I wasn’t done with this part of my life? If I didn’t know it then, I can certainly say it now, this role is a significant part of my dream and future endeavors. I’m not sure where God is taking me—ONLY He knows—but I’m here for it!♥️

Stay tuned…

I’m Here

March 21, 2025March 21, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Wasn’t sure what I would share this afternoon. So, I decided to search my photos based on the first word that came to mind and that word was “here.” Several photos popped up, but the photo above is the one that caught my eye.

Yes, I’m here! And I’m still standing.

Y’all, God is so very good. If you only knew… I am beyond grateful and blessed that He loves me.

I’m here!!

I pray you’re having a wonderful day, and that you’ll have an even better weekend. Remember, you’re also here and still standing tall. Whatever was meant to destroy you, couldn’t. You made it!♥️

Sending you much love!

Shaun

Becoming ME

March 20, 2025March 20, 2025 Shaun Bradford

A couple of months ago, fellow blogger Wynne Leon (Surprised by Joy) shared the following quote of questions—

“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone’s face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions.” – Henri Nouwen

On that day, I saved it in my notes and have asked myself these questions almost daily. They help me stay aligned with my values, vision, purpose, and legacy. As I move through life, I want to become everything I want to see in the world. I want to become that harmony that I’m seeking. Maybe I sound a bit delusional or naive, but I believe I can become everything I set out to be. Charge it to the little girl within me who dreamed of a world filled with love, peace, joy, and kindness.😌

I’m becoming ME.

This side of 50 is definitely different, and I’m loving the space I’m in. God is good.

Beyond Blessed♥️

My Journey With God, No. 76

Good Morning☀️

Slowly but surely, everything is coming together. Last week, someone contacted me about doing a nutrition presentation for their church. Without hesitation, I said “Yes,” and yesterday evening, I did it.

It may not seem like a big deal, but to me, it is. You see, I did it under my nonprofit, which took me over three years to launch. I kept trying to wait until everything was perfect and in place. Then, several months ago, I introduced it to the public. Right now, my main focus is on promoting it whenever I can. As I’ve said before, it’s my baby.
