Expect NEW

Shaun Bradford

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:18-19

Expect everything NEW! New mindsets. New ideas. New opportunities. New experience. New beginnings. Yes, everything NEW!

It’s time for NEW!✨

New month.

New YOU!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hey March!

Shaun Bradford

Hey March!

Welcome back! It’s been a year. I love it when you come around because it means spring is near. Spring is the season of rejuvenation and new beginnings. It’s when the beauty of life is clearly manifested.

Hey March. Welcome back.🌺🌸

I pray you have a blessed and prosperous month. May love and light flow to you, and may others get a glimpse of God’s glory through you. Although love month is over, I encourage you to carry on its theme, “Love and be loved.”♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Why Am I Wide Awake?

Shaun Bradford

I hate it when I fall asleep before 9:00 PM because I end up awake after midnight and not able to fall back asleep. Right now, it’s almost 2:30 AM, and I’ve watched the NAACP speeches I missed, looked at the red carpet photos, checked updates on the chaos in the Middle East, read past journal entries, wrote an entry, scheduled my first post (not this one), and prayed. What else is left to do besides write? I’m all YouTubed out (can’t watch another video right now). I guess I could read, but I’m not in the mood to finish the books I’ve started. And then there’s the second half of Bridgerton that I have yet to start, but I’m not feeling it at the moment. I wish Club Quarantine was still around. D-Nice knew how to keep us entertained in the wee hours of the morning. D-Nice, come back!😂

Anyhoo… Just felt like writing/talking/something! UGH!!!😩

Let me roll over and close my eyes. Maybe sleep will find me.

Good Night/Morning♥️

Blessings Received

Shaun Bradford
I’m really loving this color! I’ve used it several times. I guess it’s teal reason.☺️

This post is a continuation of my last one, “Claiming It? Nah, Owning It!” In the middle of writing, I stopped to create the image above. I was going to add it at the end, but then decided the message needed its own post. So, here it is.

For years—basically, most of my life—I have asked God for blessings and “claimed” them before reception. However, after I received the blessings, I never fully embraced them, and definitely didn’t own them. For some reason, I always felt the blessings could be stripped away as quickly as they were received.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I’m moving forward with a new mindset. The blessings I receive are mine. It’s time I own them.

Thanking God for my blessings. Thankful that what He gives, He doesn’t take back. Now, we can be careless and lose them—because we must take care of our blessings—but whatever He gives is ours.

Receive and own your blessings because they are truly yours. Yes, they’re YOURS!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
