The Best: God’s Best

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Even though it may be tempting, now is not the time to settle for anything less than God’s best.

Can’t you hear Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers singing “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Well, I surely can. Smile. The song says—

God’s gonna really blow your mind
He’s gonna make it worth your time
For all of the trouble you’ve been through
The blessings doubled just for you

Guess what?
The best
Is yet to come …

You ain’t seen nothin’
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Listen, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hang in there. The best—God’s best for YOU—is worth the wait.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**On another note, this was too cute not to share. It’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 2, 2015—

“I took one of those FB quizzes about “what is your gift?” I got music. It said that you can channel a song for any occasion. Lord knows that’s true! Every morning and all through the day, a song is playing in my head. I actually mean- ALL day long!”

Well… it’s true. My life.☺️

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.🙏🏽

Release And Receive

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Today is the day to release every negative thing that’s been holding your heart, mind, and spirit captive. You know those things that have been preventing you from fully enjoying your blessings and life. Release them so you can receive and enjoy every blessing God has for you. You will never be able to truly enjoy them until you do.

Release them TODAY!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Passion

Shaun Bradford

There is no passion to be found playing small—in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living. –Nelson Mandela

Follow your passion…

and stop playing small.

Never settle for less than your worth (you’re worth so much more than you know). You only have ONE life. Live it out fully!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Second Chances

Shaun Bradford

The song of the hour—or the day—because I have been singing it for a few hours now is “Second Chance” by Hezekiah Walker. The song says—

Show me
All of my wrongs
Forgive me
And make strong
Oh Save me
Restore my song 
For You’re the God of a second chance

You gave me
A second chance
You forgave me like only You can 
You gave me 
A second chance

Lyrics: LyricFind

Y’all, God is so good. I’m so thankful for second, third, fourth, and even 100 chances. Sometimes, He gives me more chances than I can count to get things right. I can’t express enough how grateful and blessed I am that He loves me.

By the way, nothing major is going on. It’s the little things He’s been working with me on that I don’t always get right. Most of the time, I don’t pay much attention to them until He says, “Look, you’re going to keep going through this cycle until you get this right.” Today, I had one of those moments. Sometimes, it’s not the things we consider significant that keep us from moving ahead. Often, it’s the small things we keep ignoring that are most important. We must remember that those small things are always connected to something greater.

I am forever grateful for God’s love, mercy, kindness, patience (boy, is He patient☺️), and grace. I am blessed.♥️

Note To Self

Shaun Bradford
From 2020–2021, I volunteered as a registered dietitian for the nonprofit Peace & Pearls Single Parent Support Network, Inc. I also created motivational messages/graphics for their social media platforms. As you can see, I shared this particular message on March 31, 2021. The messages were not only for the parents but they were also for me.🥰

Note to Self: The comeback is always stronger than the setback. – LaShaundrea

Setbacks will happen. They are a part of life. But so are comebacks!

You got this!!♥️

Love you,

Chills!

Good Morning☀️

When I tell you the following Facebook memory gave me chills! Whew!!

When I shared this post four years ago, I had just taken a giant leap of faith. Today, I’m finally beginning to see the fruits of that leap. God set the stage. All I had to do was make things happen.

In a few hours, I’m giving another nutrition presentation. This one includes a cooking demo—grilled honey-lime salmon with pan roasted vegetables (both low-sodium). Then, tomorrow and Saturday, it’s conference time. Yay!

Y’all, I am so grateful God didn’t give up on me and kept my dreams alive. I am truly blessed.🙏🏽

That’s all for now. I pray your day is just as amazing as you are!♥️

Je t’aime,

Shaun
