Trust & Patience

Shaun Bradford

Many, many moons ago, I closed my emails with—“Trust + Patience = Peace. Enjoy Life💖”

Today, I’m sitting here wondering what made me write that. What made me put trust and patience together? Why did I believe the two would equal peace? Then, I ended it with “Enjoy Life💖” Unfortunately, I can’t find any mention of it in my journals. It was just something I chose. And I kept that closing for years. I’m not even sure when I changed it. It’s definitely one of those things that make you go “Hmmm.”

Anyhoo…

A little while ago, I decided to take a break and draw. It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve drawn anything. Yesterday, I received a plant after my presentation. I used it as inspiration—and inspiration only—don’t judge.😅

*** Had to come back and add this—which really could have been the reason behind the closing. As soon as I shared this post, the Winans song, “Trust In God” started playing in my head. Could that have been the inspiration? Wow! Okay… I’m done.☺️♥️

God’s Purpose

Shaun Bradford

God’s purpose is much greater than us. We’re only the vessels He’s chosen to use to achieve it.

Honestly, I have no idea what God’s purpose for my life is; however, I do know my purpose is to allow Him to use me as He sees fit. Whatever His purpose is, it’s greater than me. It’s my hope that along my life’s journey, others will see God through me and choose to allow Him to use them, too. Believe me, the love, joy, and peace He provides is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced. It’s real.

Okay… let me end here before I start sounding like I’m trying to get y’all to join a cult.😅 But honestly, there’s nothing like residing in God’s presence.

That’s all I have for now. I pray your day is going well.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Good Night (47)

Shaun Bradford

Today was a long day, and I am tired.😩 This afternoon, I had to give another out-of-town presentation, and since I was near my sister, I decided to pay her a surprise visit to celebrate her upcoming birthday. I took her some flowers, a cake, and dinner. Although we only spent a few hours together, we both needed the company. I also got to love on her babies. I just love them! They keep me smiling.☺️

I’m blessed.♥️

I hope your day was great. Rest well.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

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
