My life. My world. Love, hope, peace, joy & happiness.
Good Morning☀️
On December 10, 2018, I ended my night with the following thoughts.
Shaun’s Journal Entry: December 10, 2018
God is always working. Keep pressing on.♥️
Love you always,
Shaun
You only need God’s approval. Seek His approval, and His approval only, and everything else will fall into place. He’s got you.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Please keep showing up. I know sometimes it’s easier said than done because, on some days, it’s hard showing up for yourself. But please, keep showing up. The world needs you.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
Over the years, I have written about my thoughts on trust. Although I easily connect with people, that connection doesn’t automatically come with trust. My trust has to be earned, even from those closest to me. It’s not something I hand out freely. I can love you all day because I truly do love people, but my love doesn’t translate into trust. As I mentioned six years ago, trust is very fragile. Once it is broken, it’s hard to repair if it’s ever repaired.
Questions–
What are your thoughts on trust?
Do you believe trust has to be earned?
Have you ever restored trust in someone?
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a lovely week. Remember to put God first, and if you can’t trust anyone else, you can always, always, always trust God.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Stay true to who you are. Your authenticity is priceless—it’s everything!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
This journey of mine hasn’t always been bright. Over my lifetime, I’ve had some very dark moments—so dark that I didn’t always want to be here. The day that I saved that scripture above was one of those days. But God had other plans. As the scripture says, His plan was to give me a future and hope.
Y’all, I don’t take my relationship with God lightly. Sometimes, I praise Him so much that I know I may appear a bit weird. But it’s because I know where I’ve been and where I am today. I am so grateful and blessed that He loves me.
Last week, after watching the Sunday service, I shared that I will never choose God’s promises over His presence. Y’all, His presence is everything. His presence is my life.
I can’t stress enough how incredibly blessed I am. I am beyond blessed.♥️
Shaun
Good Morning☀️
“I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth.“ –Psalm 34:1
I could write more but this scripture is on repeat in my head. Woke up repeating it.
Listen, no matter what, keep the praises going up. They must continue going up.
I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. God is good.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Here’s a message from the past—it’s direct and to the point—“Make it happen.”
That’s all!
Enjoy your day!♥️

I’m back! Back with a continuation of my previous post, that is. Smile
In my last post, I wrote, “So, to reconnect ten years later had me wondering why. Why, now?” Listen, when I tell you God is so timely with His answers! I just read my journal entry from December 7, 2014, ten years ago, and all I can say is “Whew!!!” Y’all, I was going through it. My ex-husband and I were on the brink of a divorce and my life was completely chaotic. I wrote how we were down to our last bar of soap and he was talking about getting a new air conditioning system for the house. He had the money I needed for things for the house but wanted me to ask for it. I ended my entry with, “AAaaahhhhhh!!! I wish I could actually scream!!!”
Again…WHEW!!!
There’s no way I could have successfully carried out any project at that time. I was breaking.
As I said a while back, this year has been about opportunities resurfacing. Earlier this year, I was re-elected as the president-elect of my state’s dietetics association. In 2015, in the midst of all the chaos that was happening in my life, I was elected to the same position. Talk about God restoring everything I lost! I carried out all of my terms—pres. elect, president, and past president—but not as successfully as I would have liked. I wasn’t completely there and just couldn’t perform as I wanted to. Now, I’m getting a second chance.
Okay…I’m going to end now. Crying too much—both sad and happy tears. Sad ones for the broken woman I was ten years ago, and happy ones for the woman I am today. Y’all, God is soooooo good!!
Listen, please don’t give up! Where you are today is not final.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thought I’d add this excerpt from the beginning of my entry from December 7, 2014. I used to refer to all life experiences as adventures, including the bad ones. That was how I was able to cope with life. Had been doing it from childhood. I recently wondered if something was wrong with me because I no longer saw life as an adventure. Now I know why. I no longer need to.☺️
“I really should write a book- The Life of LaShaundrea Bradford. I’ve had a crazy life. It’s been one adventure after another.”
Ha! I guess that “book” is now my blog “It’s Shaun’s World.” Y’all see how God works? Had no idea what He was doing, but He did!
Okay… I’m really done now. Love you!
Finally taking a moment to breathe and reflect.
I am truly blessed.
Truly, truly blessed.♥️
It’s Shaun’s World
