You only need God’s approval. Seek His approval, and His approval only, and everything else will fall into place. He’s got you.♥️

The World Needs You
Please keep showing up. I know sometimes it’s easier said than done because, on some days, it’s hard showing up for yourself. But please, keep showing up. The world needs you.♥️

Trust
Good Morning☀️
Over the years, I have written about my thoughts on trust. Although I easily connect with people, that connection doesn’t automatically come with trust. My trust has to be earned, even from those closest to me. It’s not something I hand out freely. I can love you all day because I truly do love people, but my love doesn’t translate into trust. As I mentioned six years ago, trust is very fragile. Once it is broken, it’s hard to repair if it’s ever repaired.
Questions–
What are your thoughts on trust?
Do you believe trust has to be earned?
Have you ever restored trust in someone?
Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a lovely week. Remember to put God first, and if you can’t trust anyone else, you can always, always, always trust God.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
The Journey Continues, Part 2
I’m back! Back with a continuation of my previous post, that is. Smile
In my last post, I wrote, “So, to reconnect ten years later had me wondering why. Why, now?” Listen, when I tell you God is so timely with His answers! I just read my journal entry from December 7, 2014, ten years ago, and all I can say is “Whew!!!” Y’all, I was going through it. My ex-husband and I were on the brink of a divorce and my life was completely chaotic. I wrote how we were down to our last bar of soap and he was talking about getting a new air conditioning system for the house. He had the money I needed for things for the house but wanted me to ask for it. I ended my entry with, “AAaaahhhhhh!!! I wish I could actually scream!!!”
Again…WHEW!!!
There’s no way I could have successfully carried out any project at that time. I was breaking.
As I said a while back, this year has been about opportunities resurfacing. Earlier this year, I was re-elected as the president-elect of my state’s dietetics association. In 2015, in the midst of all the chaos that was happening in my life, I was elected to the same position. Talk about God restoring everything I lost! I carried out all of my terms—pres. elect, president, and past president—but not as successfully as I would have liked. I wasn’t completely there and just couldn’t perform as I wanted to. Now, I’m getting a second chance.
Okay…I’m going to end now. Crying too much—both sad and happy tears. Sad ones for the broken woman I was ten years ago, and happy ones for the woman I am today. Y’all, God is soooooo good!!
Listen, please don’t give up! Where you are today is not final.♥️
Love you,
Shaun
Thought I’d add this excerpt from the beginning of my entry from December 7, 2014. I used to refer to all life experiences as adventures, including the bad ones. That was how I was able to cope with life. Had been doing it from childhood. I recently wondered if something was wrong with me because I no longer saw life as an adventure. Now I know why. I no longer need to.☺️
“I really should write a book- The Life of LaShaundrea Bradford. I’ve had a crazy life. It’s been one adventure after another.”
Ha! I guess that “book” is now my blog “It’s Shaun’s World.” Y’all see how God works? Had no idea what He was doing, but He did!
Okay… I’m really done now. Love you!
The Journey Continues
Good Morning☀️
Be careful not to let your current situation stop you from pursuing your dreams. This is only one small part of your story. As long as you are living, your story continues, and life goes on.
–Facebook Memory: December 7, 2023
Where you are today is not final. Life does go on.
From several events that happened over the past few days, even to over a week ago, to reading my first blog and celebrating my niece’s graduation yesterday, life does go on. Where we are today is not where we are meant to stay. As long as there’s breath in our bodies we will keep moving.
As I mentioned in a previous blog, I was recently reconnected with someone I wanted to work on a project with ten years ago. Unfortunately, that project never happened. I told my daughter how I wanted to do that project so badly, but nothing ever worked out. I just kept getting the runaround. So, to reconnect ten years later had me wondering why. Why, now? I told her I felt like I had taken a ten-year detour, and now I’m finally back on track. It’s the same with reading my first blog post. There were so many things I had mentioned in that post that never panned out. However, seeing what I had written was like a greeting from God saying, “Welcome back, Shaun!”
Remember, where you are today isn’t where you are meant to stay. So much has happened over the past ten years, so many lessons and experiences—not all good and not all bad. As they say, nothing is ever wasted. Everything was preparing me for this moment and my future.
Thank you for reading. Thank you for being part of my journey. I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
God’s Plan
On this day last year, I shared the following on Facebook—
“Everything always works according to God’s plan, and it always works out better than you imagined. Trust His plan.”
If you’re like me, you have absolutely no idea of what God’s plan entails. So, all you can do is trust Him. With that being said, I do and always will believe that His plans for our lives are greater than anything we’ve ever imagined. I believe this.
Now, let go and trust Him. He’s got you!♥️
Love you,
Shaun
