My Journey With God, No. 104

June 18, 2025 Shaun Bradford

A few months ago, one of our fellow bloggers, Wynne Leon, shared a quote of questions by Henri Nouwen. I saved that quote because it resonated with my purpose of allowing God’s glory to shine through me. Every day, I strive to answer these questions, whether through my blog posts, posts on other social media platforms, or personal interactions.

Henri Nouwen’s Questions

Did I love?

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?

I pray that God’s glory is shining through me as I answer each question. If not, God, please guide me in doing so. Amen♥️

Who Knows You Better Than Yourself?

June 18, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

How are you?

I pray you are doing well.🌸

Facebook Memory: June 18, 2022

Besides God, who knows you better than YOU? The answer is “No one.” Always remember, you control the pen to your life’s story. As you evolve, your story evolves. Feel free to revise it as you grow—it’s YOUR story.

That’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with an abundance of love, joy, peace, and laughter. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Seven Days

June 17, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m hoping all is well with you.🌸

The final week of my birthday countdown is here! Seven days until Year52!

I smiled when I saw this Facebook memory. I remember how excited I was. I couldn’t wait to celebrate my 50th birthday, my jubilee year. Smiling because that was some year! Whew! Little did I know that my jubilee year would actually be my “tried in the fire” year. Soooo… did I come out of the fire as pure gold?

Hmmm… I’m still being refined.☺️

That year, I learned I needed to take better care of myself. I needed to put myself first to become a better, stronger version of my former self, especially if I wanted to live fifty more years. It was so necessary! I’m smiling because the pruning I went through had to be done. I needed to let go of so much of my former self to fully embrace the person I am today. Y’all, I like this version of myself better. This version of Shaun even breathes differently. As I said in the memory above, I am truly blessed.

I pray you have one of your best days yet! You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
