Mellow Moments

April 30, 2024April 30, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Just dropping in to say “Hello!” I have scrolled through my Facebook memories several times and I am not really feeling what I shared on this day; so, there won’t be a Facebook memory for my first post. Maybe for my second post. I also read through a few journal entries from today, and still nothing. I have to feel somewhat connected to what I share, and today nothing stands out.

By the way, nothing is wrong. I’m not sad or depressed. Just don’t feel like being on “10” this morning. Today is more like a “5,” pretty mellow. I am allowed a moment like this, right? Laughing

Think I will turn over and go back to sleep for a few more minutes.

Wishing you a beautiful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Thought I’d create something to go with the mood. (Giggles)

Buckle Up

April 29, 2024April 29, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Life is definitely one interesting ride. If you really want to live, buckle up!♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: April 29, 2022

Welcome to this ride called, Life! Life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, highs and lows. Just when you think you have things figured out, you discover you don’t. My advice– Buckle up and go with the flow. TRUST GOD. He’s ALWAYS in control!

Hello Sunday

April 28, 2024April 28, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Wise words from last year… and I wrote them. Smile

Facebook Memory: April 28, 2022

Set yourself free! Release past hurts, guilt, disappointments and shame. Harboring even the smallest resentment can make it difficult to receive and enjoy blessings. Release opens doors for receiving love, joy, opportunities, and success. Let go and be free!

It’s true, if you want your life to change for the better, you have to let things go. Holding on to past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and even shame, only hurts you. It also stops you from fully growing and receiving all of God’s wonderful blessings. Listen, I don’t know about you, but I don’t only want some of my blessings. No… l want all of my blessings. Every last single one. Smile. Let it go!

On another note— My daughter came home yesterday for her friends’ wedding and is leaving this afternoon. So, I am going to spend as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. Smiling

Praying you have a wonderful Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust & Patience Lead To Peace

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Many, many moons ago, I ended my Yahoo emails with the following message:

Trust + Patience = Peace
“Enjoy Life 💖”
Circa 2013/2014

Never once considered that would be the message I would live by.

Trust: I trust God’s love, guidance, and protection. I know He has me in His hands. I’m covered.

Patience: Whew! Never knew I could be so patient, but God did.

Peace: There is nothing like it. I was right. Trust and patience, together, lead to peace.

and…

That last part… “Enjoy Life💖” is my daily goal. Life is short, and I try my best not to waste time in negative spaces or feelings.

Y’all, I am so grateful and blessed that God loves me. He leaves behind the tiniest of gems for me to find when they are needed the most. It’s those gems that keep me trusting Him and His word. It’s those gems that keep me going.♥️

Welcome to my world…

Following God’s Lead

April 27, 2024April 27, 2024 Shaun Bradford

In last year’s blog post I wrote— “You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.”

Listen, God is the Master of plot twists. For years, you can think your life is headed in one direction only to have it shift in another. I have finally learned to stop trying to guess where He’s taking me—which I now realize was a form of control on my end—and just allow Him to move as He sees fit. All I do now is say, “I see You, God,” and keep on moving. I know He has me in His hands; and wherever He’s taking me is somewhere wonderfully beautiful because He loves me and I trust Him.

My advice. Trust God to lead. Release control and let Him take you wherever He’s taking you—because He’s going to do it anyway. Smile. Resisting only causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. As they say, “Let go and let God.” He knows what’s best and He’s got you! Love you!♥️

Drown Out The Noise

April 26, 2024April 26, 2024 Shaun Bradford

As Smokie Norful says, drown out the noise—because sometimes it is a bit loud—so you can hear God’s voice. Then, focus on what’s most important to you. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Don’t You Dare Give Up

April 25, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: April 25, 2023

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

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

Year 50: Month 10

April 24, 2024April 24, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Around this time last year, I was trying to spend as much time as I could with my mom. We knew, and she knew, she wasn’t going to be around much longer.

I miss her…

Two more months left in this jubilee year! God is good. Thankful for peace and contentment. Thankful for life. I believe I will celebrate this day by doing something my mom would have liked, or eating one of her favorite dishes. Yeah… that’s what I will do. This one is for you, Dorothy Ree. I love you.♥️
