Do It Now

Shaun Bradford

If there is something you desire to do, do it! Do it NOW! Waiting for the perfect time to get started only delays progress and time—time that you could actually be doing what you love.

I’ve been feeling this a lot lately. As we know, tomorrow’s not promised. All we have is today. I don’t know about you, but I would hate to leave this world without at least attempting to do the things I love. I just can’t do it, and won’t.

I pray your day is going well. Smile♥️

Love you,

Shaun

The Gift

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

As I said three years ago, “You are the gift.” The most valuable gift you could possibly give is yourself. Your presence and essence are irreplaceable. It’s YOU that’s wanted and needed. Yes, it’s YOU.

YOU are the gift!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Remember your worth—you are priceless.😘

Doing What I Love, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I am in tears right! When I tell you this post has me crying like a baby.😭

Listen, I’m just out here doing what I love doing. It’s not fake. It’s not for publicity. It’s really what I love doing. I’m so fortunate and blessed that God has allowed me to live out my dreams. I don’t take my life or opportunities for granted. I may not understand all of my assignments, but I know they’re part of me fulfilling His purpose.

I am beyond blessed.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 60

Shaun Bradford

This morning’s message from God to me was Joel Osteen’s “Unconditional Trust,” originally shared on March 26, 2017. Before watching the video, I was led to look and see what I had written in my journal or saved in my photos on that date. I discovered that on that date, I was preparing for our annual state dietetics meeting. I was the president of our association that year. Also on that date, I referenced the date March 26, 2015—the day I learned I would be the president-elect for 2015-2016.

Whew! Talk about a full-circle moment.

Now, here I am again, president–elect of the same state association. Didn’t know it was even possible. I had written off this path of my journey as lessons learned. Thought that was how God would use it. Yet, here I am again.

I needed Pastor Osteen’s word. I don’t always understand… correction… I never understand what God is doing until after it’s done. However, I am learning to trust Him unconditionally. Who knew I’d be in this position again? What’s great about this time around is that I am not starting from scratch. I’m starting with more knowledge and experience.

Side Note: I just want to give you a glimpse of what’s so mind-boggling to me, what I have been trying to grasp. In 2016 (the year of my presidency), Donald Trump won his first presidential election. Now here are again, at the beginning of his second term. You see what I mean about a full-circle moment. Definitely not a coincidence. And y’all know I live in Mississippi, right? Times were interesting then. Not sure how interesting they’ll be this time. Again, not starting from scratch but with more experience and knowledge. I’m forever asking, “God, what are You doing?” Lol! When I say God has a sense of humor, this is what I’m speaking of. Gotta laugh.

This journey is definitely not for the weak.♥️ ~Shaun

P.S. There’s a little lagniappe at the end of Joel Osteen’s video. Fast forward about 20 minutes and you’ll see it. When I tell you God is sooooo good! So very good. I just love the way He loves me. Beyond Blessed.🥰
