The Spark I Needed

Shaun Bradford

Hey Y’all! I couldn’t sleep long. Last night’s victories across the nation have reignited every dream I thought possible. Don’t get me wrong, the dreams were still here, but the energy was slowly dissipating. HA! But it’s BACK!!! And this time I… no, we must hit the ground running like never before. Celebrate and get moving. We have work to do!

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” –Harriet Tubman

Your Dreams Are Possible

Georgia’s newly elected governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, tells the story of being a little girl around six years old, passing the governor’s mansion and wondering what it looked like inside and what it felt like to walk inside. Whew!!! I know that dream. Mine isn’t hers, but it’s so similar. I cannot afford to give up! I must see this thing through.

Before I end, I want to recognize Ms. Stacey Abrams for her leadership and guidance. She was also here in Mississippi, lending her support. Here’s what I wrote several years ago after her run for Governor of Georgia.

“The highlight of the night was not a win, but a beautifully delivered concession speech by Stacey Abrams, Georgia’s gubernatorial candidate. Y’all, Stacey is not finished. I know they thought last night’s results would take her out of the game. Nah.. this loss just gave her more momentum. She’s on fire! And the fire she’s ignited in Georgia is about to spread like wildfire to surrounding states. Yes.. this is ONLY the beginning. Stacey is a change agent.” (Wednesday Writings, November 9, 2022)

This is all for now. We’re still waiting on the results for our Senate race. The race was too close to call, which is a very good thing! This race is so significant for our state. People want change!

I pray that you have a wonderful day. May it be filled with lots of light and love.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Tuesday and Happy Election Day!

Yes, midterm elections are today. If you haven’t already done so—VOTE! It’s a privilege to be able to do so.

“If you’re alive, there’s a purpose for your life.” –Rick Warren

A Time To Be Alive

Today’s message is—

You’re still here, and you’re here for a reason.

God is not through with you yet.

Nope.

He’s not done!

Smile

This is all for now. Don’t spend too much time watching the polls. We may not know the outcome, but God already does. Our job is to VOTE, then rest in Him. This year, I refuse to let this election stress me out, and you shouldn’t either.

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. May it be filled with lots of love and joy.

Keep smiling.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Monday!☀️ Not sure why I feel the need to mark this date (note the title), but it feels as if today is going to be a significant one.

This morning, I saw a short clip by A. R. Bernard, Sr. and decided to include one of his key points in today’s inspirational posts.

“Never judge a season by what it feels like when you’re in it, because it could feel like the last place you want to be, and yet it’s the first place you need to be for what God has in store for you.” –A. R. Bernard

Seasons

Where you are right now is where you need to be. God is preparing you for what’s ahead.

If you don’t feel this message, I certainly do. I can feel the change. I can feel a shift happening. I’m so grateful I was obedient this weekend and put my phone on Do Not Disturb. I needed that intimate time alone with God. No outside voices or thoughts. Just me and God.

The song of the hour is VaShawn Mitchell’s, “Turning Around for Me.” The song says—

It won’t always be like this. He will perfect that concerning me. And sooner or later it’ll turn in my favor. It’s turning around for me.

God is good. Despite what’s happening around us, we must continue to trust Him. We cannot lose hope.

This is all I have for now. Please take care of yourself and remain hopeful. God is working.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday (300)

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday☀️And Hello November!

Yesterday I did something I have never done before, I put my phone on Do Not Disturb and enjoyed my day!

I initially did it because I needed to get some work done. However, it ended up being one of the most relaxing experiences I had had in a long time. I also didn’t visit any of my social media accounts after I made my morning posts. Didn’t log out of the accounts and never accidentally tapped the apps. Had no desire to. Didn’t even watch any inspirational videos. I just went about my day doing normal stuff. Life felt normal again. I was finally back to my pre- social media days, and I loved it.

Doing it again today.🥰

I pray you’re having a wonderful weekend so far. May the rest of your day, the week ahead, and this month be filled with lots of love—an abundance of love!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It’s Already Done: Believe

Shaun Bradford

Happy Self-love Saturday!🌺

“When you leave everything in God’s hands, you’ll start seeing God’s hand in everything.” –Author Unknown

It’s Handled

The song of the hour is James Fortune’s “I Believe.” The song says—

I believe the storm will soon be over. I believe the rain will go away. I believe that I can make it through it. I believe, it’s already done.

“I Believe” by James Fortune

Whatever you’re believing for, believe that it’s already handled—it’s already done.

Now… breathe and rest your mind. God’s got you!

This is all for now. I pray you have a beautifully blessed Self-love Saturday! May it be filled with lots of love and blessings.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Purpose And Gifts

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Friday!

“The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The work of life is to develop it. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.” –David Viscott

Created For Purpose

Your God-given purpose is specific to you and only you, just like your gifts. Someone needs what you have, and they need it from YOU.

So, keep showing up and always show up as YOU!

The song I’ve been hearing since I woke up is “Trust in You” by Anthony Brown. It’s unrelated to the message above. Had to share it so that it would stop playing over and over in my head.

Side note: If you’re the reason I’m hearing the song, then I’m fulfilling my purpose by sharing it. Smile.

“Trust in You” by Anthony Brown

This is all I have for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and weekend!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Thursday!

Just realized I hadn’t spoken today! I started writing this morning and forgot to finish my thoughts. This has been one busy week!

Anyhoo… Here’s what I shared today under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration.

“So if you faithfully obey the commands I am giving you today—to love the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul—then I will send rain on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. I will provide grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.” –Deuteronomy 11:13-15

Listen, the latter rains of autumn are coming. You will eat and be satisfied! Amen

I pray you have a great rest of your evening. May it be peaceful and relaxing.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hey Y’all! Good Afternoon

Shaun Bradford

I really didn’t write much this morning. Seemed like things were going a mile a minute, and now I’m finally slowing down. Thought I’d drop in and share the song that’s been playing in my head for the past 30 minutes or so. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you know sometimes the only way to get it out of my head is to share it.

Now, this one is very random and goes back decades. I don’t believe I’ve heard it lately, but it’s here and stuck on repeat in my head. The song is “Don’t Make Me Over” by Sybil. Talk about a real memory from the past!

“Don’t Make Me Over” by Sybil

That’s all. Just sharing. I hope you’re having a great day so far. Mine has been pretty interesting. Let’s just say November 3rd is only ONE week away, and it’s only the beginning of what’s to come over the next two years.

Anyhoo…

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the day. May it be calm and peaceful.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
