The Divine Plan

Shaun Bradford

Last year on this date, I shared two posts—one was about purpose, which I basically reshared this morning, and other was the reblog below. The reblog was based on a message written on a butterfly display —“Your life is unfolding according to The Divine plan.”

Stay focused on God, not what’s going on around you. Believe me, He’s got you!

And life is doing just that, unfolding according to God’s plan. Although we have some control over how it unfolds, it’s probably not as much as we would like, and that’s a good thing. Keeps us humble. What I have learned over this past year is to allow life to do what it’s going to do. Of course I must continue to do my part which is to keep striving towards my goals and dreams. However, I cannot get caught up in the whirlwind of things happening around me, nor allow the tactics of the enemy (because they are real) throw me off course. I must remember at all times, and you should too, life is unfolding according to God’s plan, and He is in control.

Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful weekend.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Bet You Didn’t Know

Shaun Bradford

I bet you didn’t know how strong you were and are.

I bet you didn’t know how far you could and would come.

I bet you didn’t know the amount of courage you possessed.

Nah… You didn’t know.

You didn’t know this would or could ever be you.

However, it is most definitely YOU!

You are stronger than ever.

Your confidence is on 10!

You are feeling good and you look amazing.

Baby, you are glowing!

I have shared this same image/message every couple of years since 2016, but with different captions. Last year’s caption was, “Look how far you’ve come. You’re stronger than you think.” (Photo/image credit: unknown)

Listen, keep showing up!♥️

Love you always,

Full Circle Moments

Shaun Bradford

Where do I begin?! Y’all, I wish I wasn’t such an emotional person. My daughter keeps telling me it’s just me. Cancer is my zodiac sign, and she swears I exhibit every single trait. Laughing.

On June 1, 2015 (I can’t believe it’s been nine years), I took office as the president-elect of our state’s dietetics association. Today, nine years later, I am assuming that role, again! This is a three-year commitment—president-elect, president, and then past president. Several posts ago, I mentioned that I had left favor on the table. Well, this is one of those favors I was referring too. Y’all, this favor was packed with opportunities. Opportunities that I believe would have gotten me closer to where I had dreamed of being. However, life happened and I didn’t know how to handle both—life and the opportunities. Well, life won.

As they say, everything happens for a reason, and I am beginning to accept the fact that some of those reasons I may never know. Life is funny like that. However, I do know I have been granted a second chance, a do over, and this time I am going to keep going. I have to keep going.

Y’all, when I tell you God is so good and His love is unmatched! Returning to office wasn’t even on my radar. I had given up on that dream. Had written it off as one of those things that had run its course. Now, here I am again, much wiser, more equipped, and better prepared to see this dream come to fruition.

This is my Year50!

Year51 is loading…

Hello June!❤️

Do Not Give Up

Shaun Bradford

Wasn’t going to share a second post today, but one of my aunts just tagged me when she shared one of my memories from yesterday. I saw it yesterday and chose not to share it. I guess it was meant to be shared, and perhaps it was meant to be shared today.

Message: Whatever you are going through—DO NOT GIVE UP!!! God is with you. You WILL NOT fail! Trust Him.♥️ ~ Shaun

Don’t You Dare Give Up

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: April 25, 2023

Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️

Trust God!

Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.

Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

PERSEVERE

Shaun Bradford

Thanks to Senator Cory Booker’s post this morning, PERSEVERE is the word of the day!

No matter how many setbacks you have, keep trying. No matter how many times you have to restart, keep starting. Keep dreaming. Keep creating. Keep building. PERSEVERE! In time, everything you once dreamed will be your reality.

PERSEVERE!♥️
