My Journey With God, No. 4

Shaun Bradford

Trust in God.

That’s the song I’m currently hearing. It’s like my thoughts come with their own background music, and right now, The Winans’ “Trust In God” is it.

The song says—

“Just look up. Tomorrow’s sun.. will let you know.. your life’s not done. Just look around.. love’s pouring down. Trust in God.”

Listen, trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

A Culinary Revival

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“A culinary revival” is how I described the week I had ten years ago in October 2014. However, it wasn’t just the week I met Marcus Samuelsson, Leah Chase, and John T. Edge (the food writer and former director of the Southern Foodways Alliance) but also the months leading up to it. A few months ealier, I had been invited to a culinary event in New Orleans with Chef John Folse. So, by this time, I felt as if the culinary side of my life had been awakened, and it was finally time to use my culinary degree. Yes, I was somewhat of a chef many moons ago (2002)—degree only, never worked in the field. Let’s just say you never know where life will take you. You plan for one thing—I was set on being a personal chef and traveling the world—and life goes in a completely different direction. While doing part of my culinary internship at a local hospital, I met a registered dietitian, and the rest is history!

Honestly, I’m not sure what’s next for me and this culinary thing. It always seems to be lurking in the background. I use it when doing food demos for nutrition education, but I would love to do much more with it. We shall see.

Well, that’s all I have for now. I just love a good trip down memory lane. Thanks for joining me. Wishing you a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 3

Shaun Bradford

I know you probably wouldn’t believe this, but John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship” is stuck in my head again. Didn’t even realize it until I sat still.

For God’s goodness and His glory. For the joy inside my story. For the peace He gave to me. For the day He set me free. I do worship Him.

Y’all, God is so good. I am beyond blessed.♥️
