An Oddly Good Day

Shaun Bradford

Today has been a rather oddly good day. That’s about the only way I can explain it. So odd, yet good. I could see God’s hand in everything, even things I found strange, uncomfortable, and somewhat challenging. I could see God.

Feeling blessed. Yes, God’s hand is in everything, and everything is in God’s hands.

I’ve been singing “Worthy” by Elevation Worship all day. The song says, “Worthy is Your name, Jesus. You deserve all praise. Worthy is Your name.” Amen

I pray you had a wonderful day. You deserved it!♥️

Love you much,

God’s whispers have the power to quiet doubts and calm fears.

I don’t know about you, but just hearing this makes me breathe a little easier.

He’s so amazing!♥️

The Encourager

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I pray you’re doing well.🌸

“The Encourager”

That was the name of my mom’s monthly newsletter. She used to send them to friends and family in the early 2000s. After she died, that was one of the things her friends remembered about her. Here’s a copy. She would’ve been a great blogger.💗

The Encourager (April 2003) written by Dorothy Bradford

“No matter what we suffer or have lack of, when we learn to put God first, to love Him, and to recognize His voice and obey, we have assurance that all things are working to our good.”

What a word! A word that she lived by.

This is a short week! I pray you have a beautiful day. May God make you feel extra special today. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 96

Shaun Bradford

On this day six years ago (May 26, 2019), I wrote the following—

“Goodbye comfort zone. It’s time to create the life I’ve always dreamed of.”

Then, when I shared it, I added the caption—

“Leaving my comfort zone,” and used the hashtags—Refocusing and Rebuilding.”

I wish I could say everything happened instantaneously, but it took me a while to leave my comfort zone—actually, it took a few years. Believe me, it wasn’t easy. I had become so comfortable where I was.

I’m so glad I made that decision. If I hadn’t, there is no telling what my life would be like today. I needed a change so I could grow. I needed my babies to see me evolving. I owed it to God to use the gifts He’d given me. And I owed it to myself to keep pursuing my dreams and purpose. I needed to become ME.

I am so very grateful for God’s love, grace, and patience with me. He did not give up on me or let me give up on myself. There were so many times when I wanted to quit and settle, but He wouldn’t let me. Y’all, He’s such a good God.

Sitting here in awe.

I’m no longer where I used to be.

I did it! ✨♥️
