God’s Hugs and Kisses

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.🌸

I slept in this morning. Then, just as I was about to reprimand myself for slacking, God reminded me of His gift—His peace and blessings. This is the life He’s blessed me with. He’s given me this time and space to move as I please—time to shamelessly focus on me and only me.

And you are. YOU, my friend, are blessed.

As I mentioned last year, God’s blessings are like His hugs and kisses reminding us that we are His children. And I am taking it all in. I’m surrounding myself with His love, peace, and blessings.

I needed the extra sleep. I needed to wake up to the sunlight, not before it appeared. Usually, I would apologize for the late post, but not anymore. No more apologies. No more over explaining. I’m finally living in the space God’s graced me to be in, and I’m loving it.

This is Year52.🥰

I pray that you’ve allowed God’s hugs and kisses to find you. There’s nothing like being graced with His blessings.

This is all for now. Wishing you a magnificent day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Blessed… Beyond Blessed

Shaun Bradford

I held my first board meeting as president today.

It feels great to be back.

Pausing to take in God’s presence and goodness.

This is my Year51.

This is my life beyond 50.

“Beyond Blessed” was my theme for my 51st birthday year. Haven’t decided on one for my 52nd year. We shall see.

Year52 is loading…

Beyond Blessed♥️

I sincerely hope you are well.🌸

Today, I’m doing the same as I did on this day three years ago. I’m keeping the message simple. No frills or extra words needed.

Remain hopeful.🙏🏽

I pray you have a beautiful day and wonderful week. May it be filled with love, joy, and peace.♥️

I love you,

Today’s A New Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Today’s a new day! Be sure to leave yesterday’s worries, fears, hurts, and disappointments behind. Start today with a fresh mind and open heart, expecting great things to happen. Remember, God is still in control.

I pray this week brings you peace and clarity. May God’s love and grace surround you. Remain open to new ideas and opportunities that align with God’s divine purpose for your life. Remember, more of God and less of you. It’s all about God and His glory, not ours.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 66

Shaun Bradford

“Never give up on your dreams. You’re still breathing, so your dreams are still possible.”

When I shared the image and caption above on Instagram and YouTube, I included Yolanda Adams’ song “Never Give Up.” The song says (Lyrics: LyricFind)—

Visions that can change the world 
Trapped inside an ordinary girl 
She looks just like me 
To afraid to dream out loud 

And though it’s set for your idea 
It won’t make sense to everybody 
You need courage now 
If you’re going to persevere 

To fulfill your divine purpose 
You’ve gotta answer when you’re called 
So don’t be afraid to face the world 
Against all odds 

Keep the dream alive don’t let it die, if something deep inside 
Keeps inspiring you to try, don’t stop 
And never give up; don’t ever give up on you 
Don’t give up

When I tell you this last year has been about full-circle moments! Last June, I began serving my second term as president-elect for my state’s dietetics association (the first time was in 2015). Back in November, I was reconnected with someone I wanted to work on a project with ten years ago. Today, we are working on a similar project that’s even better than the one I envisioned. Then, last night, I attended an event and connected with someone who could possibly help me with another project I wanted to work on ten years ago.

Y’all, I had given up on both projects—projects that were part of my dream—but God said not so!

Despite the craziness happening right now, God is still bringing dreams to life. I can’t help but be in awe of Him!

Forever grateful and blessed.♥️

Rooted And Grounded In God

Shaun Bradford
Stay covered.

Many changes and anticipated changes are happening at the moment, causing fear, anxiety, and conflict. My advice is that, no matter what happens, we must first stay rooted and grounded in God, and secondly, remain committed to protecting the sanctity and integrity of humanity. We must remain loving, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, and respectful. Y’all, the well-being—not only physical but psychological—of our future and future generations is dependent on it.🙏🏽

Yes, life as we once knew is slowly changing. Please, stay rooted and grounded in God.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
