My Journey With God, No. 96

Shaun Bradford

On this day six years ago (May 26, 2019), I wrote the following—

“Goodbye comfort zone. It’s time to create the life I’ve always dreamed of.”

Then, when I shared it, I added the caption—

“Leaving my comfort zone,” and used the hashtags—Refocusing and Rebuilding.”

I wish I could say everything happened instantaneously, but it took me a while to leave my comfort zone—actually, it took a few years. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I had become so comfortable where I was.

I’m so glad I made that decision. If I hadn’t, there is no telling what my life would be like today. I needed a change so I could grow. I needed my babies to see me evolving. I owed it to God to use the gifts He’d given me. And I owed it to myself to keep pursuing my dreams and purpose. I needed to become ME.

I am so very grateful for God’s love, grace, and patience with me. He did not give up on me or let me give up on myself. There were so many times when I wanted to quit and settle, but He wouldn’t let me. Y’all, He’s such a good God.

Sitting here in awe.

I’m no longer where I used to be.

I did it! ✨♥️

Be Still And Have Faith

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸

“Be still and have faith” is how I ended last year’s journal entry (May 26, 2024). I was becoming antsy and impatient because life wasn’t moving at the pace I wanted. I felt like I needed to do something. I needed to make things happen on my own because God wasn’t moving fast enough for me. I had thought of so many things I could’ve been doing, yet I heard to “be still and have faith.” Looking back over the past year, I am so grateful I was obedient. Had I not been, I would have missed out on so many opportunities as well as the connections and relationships I’ve built. What God has done in one year was taking me years to build.

Here’s my takeaway, or what I’ve learned—

Whenever you want to take control because God doesn’t seem to be moving, or He’s moving much too slowly—BE STILL! I even wrote in that entry, “Shaun, sit on your hands if you must.” And I almost needed to. BUT GOD!

Be still and have faith that God is going to do what He said He would do PLUS more! No lie, He will blow your mind!

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. Please remember those who sacrificed their lives for us to have the freedoms we still have today.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

GOD, You Are One Of One

When I shared this on other platforms, I added Marvin Sapp’s, “You Are God Alone.”

God, You are One of one. There is no other like You. Thank You for your love, your mercy, and your grace. Thank You for being YOU!

Let’s give God the praise and honor He’s due. He’s so good!🙏🏽

Sending blessings and love your way!♥️

Quietness Warranted

Shaun Bradford

This morning, I decided to sleep in and allow the rest of my day to flow as it pleased. After the past few weeks I’ve had, I needed it.

It’s been quiet.

I’ve needed the quietness.

I needed a moment to breathe.

I’m planning to move in the same manner this weekend.

No plans.

Just going with the flow.

Just being.

Update: I Need To Get This Out …

Shaun Bradford

Good Evening!✨

I wanted to share an update to this morning’s post, “I Need To Get This Out, Please Bear With Me.” In short, I’m feeling so much better. I decided to drive up for the funeral today instead of waiting until tomorrow. And I’m glad I did. As much as I wanted to be alone, I needed to be around family. I needed the love, laughs, and hugs. God is good.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! I needed them. Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing evening.🙏🏽♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

God’s Patience

Shaun Bradford

I am so very grateful for God’s patience with me. This journey has been long, tedious, and exhausting. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I have wanted to give up—BUT GOD!

God, thank You for being patient with me.🙏🏽

The Countdown

Shaun Bradford
ONLY speaking blessings over my life.🌸🌿

Good Morning☀️

The countdown to my 52nd birthday has officially begun. Yay!!!🎉 Although it’s two months away, I’m already excited like it’s happening next week or in a few days. For those who don’t know, I love celebrating my birthdays. No matter the age, I still feel like a little kid turning a year older. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do this year. However, whatever I decide to do will be wonderful because I will make it so.🥰 I’m thinking a floral theme this year—something light and summery.😊🌸

Yessss… Year52 is loading!!!🙌🏽🎉🤩

Wishing you a glorious day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
