My Journey With God, No. 68

Shaun Bradford
“Hey Mr. D.J.” (Remix)

Found this screenshot in my photos from February 26, 2019. Since it wasn’t in my Facebook memories, I checked to see what I had written in my journal, and here’s what I found.

After writing about a dream that I had earlier that morning, I wrote—

“So “La, La, La” by Zhane keeps playing over and over in my head. Lord! Talking about feeling crazy!! Yes, my dreams are haunted. But, that entire album has been playing over and over in my head for the past month.”

Side Note: “For A Reason” or “Everything Happens For A Reason” was the main song I kept hearing. It ended up staying with me the entire year. Then, when my brother passed that October, I felt that was probably the reason I kept hearing it. Life…

Anyhoo… back to my journal entry and dream.

“When I woke up all of the anxiety I’d been feeling was gone. It was replaced with peace. 

Message: God will not deliver you something that will bring chaos to your life. He will send you peace. Everything will be alright.”

Today’s message is the same, and I’m sharing it with you—God will not send you chaos but peace. Everything will be alright.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Zhané

One of my favorite online history magazines, CARTER Magazine, celebrated one of my favorite RnB duos from the 90s, Zhané. I remember finding their CD in our local AAFES music/movie store on base. At the time, I was stationed in Germany and most of the CDs I bought were based on the CD cover rather than a particular song. Being stationed overseas, we rarely heard new music unless someone had recently come from stateside. Well, I picked up Zhané’s debut CD and the rest was history.

Back in 2019, Zhané’s song, “For A Reason,” seemed to be my theme song for that year. For months, I woke up with it playing over and over in my head. It was the same year I celebrated one of my greatest joys (my divorce after 4 long years of waiting), and my greatest sorrows (my brother passing). When I say that was some year! Soooo many ups and downs that year. What a roller coaster ride! Anyhoo… that song was a gentle warning of what was to come, as well as a soothing reminder that God would be with me through it all. Blessed.♥️
