Forever In Awe Of God

Shaun Bradford

This Facebook memory has me smiling and gives me hope. It’s so timely!

Here’s what I shared on this date last year. Talk about mind-blowing! I just love watching God work!

Persevere, April 2, 2024

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!♥️

Persevere is exactly what Senator Cory Booker did. He held the Senate floor for over 25 hours from Monday to yesterday evening. It was so beautiful!

During this time, he spoke about the injustices happening across the country and our dissatisfaction with our government (both sides). He read stories from constituents (not only his) who are afraid and worried about their future. He also shared personal stories. But what touched me most was him putting his heart on display for the world to see. There’s no denying that he truly cares. I admire and appreciate his leadership and love for our country and humanity.

Y’all, he PERSEVERED! The late Honorable John Lewis would be so proud of Senator Booker’s “Good Trouble.”

This is why I’m forever in awe of God. I love how He loves me and allows me to witness His greatness. Y’all, He’s so AMAZING!!!

That’s all I have for now. I pray you are having a beautiful day thus far.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Keep Going!

Good Morning! Couldn’t decide which Facebook memory to share, so I decided to share both. The message—

Persevere and create the life you desire and deserve. Don’t stop going or creating until you’ve achieved both. Then… KEEP GOING!♥️

Love you,

April’s Random Ramblings

Shaun Bradford

Today is my 335th day of daily posting. Back in 2020, right after the world shut down, I decided to create a gratitude journal. My goal was to journal daily for one month. Well, not even two weeks in, I had missed several days of journaling. Honestly, I just wasn’t dedicated to writing daily. It was one of those things someone suggested and I thought it would be fun. I just knew because I loved blogging, and had been journaling for years, it would come easy. Well, it didn’t. Actually, it was a struggle. I had taken on the task but my heart wasn’t in it.

Y’all, one thing I’ve learned over the years about taking on tasks and setting goals is my heart has to be in it. I don’t know about you, but when my heart isn’t in it, tasks and goals are rarely accomplished/achieved. With that said, if it’s something I really want.. you know, just can’t shake.. I don’t give up. I take breaks and try again.

Fun Fact – Thirty years ago, April 1992, I entered the Delayed Entry Program for the Air Force.

Next month my son will be graduating from high school and I feel like my life is starting over. As if I’ve been given a second chance – a fresh start. The dreams and goals I had back then haven’t really changed. They’ve just been on hold for 30 years. Talk about mind blowing to say 30 years. I’m not going to lie, I’m nervous; however, I’m also super excited! Y’all, why am I hearing “A Whole New World” from Aladdin playing in my head. Shaking my head.. My life.

Thanks for reading my ramblings. Enjoy your weekend!

Shaun
