Obedience 101, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

Listen, when I released the limits I had placed on myself by only posting at scheduled times and limiting the number of posts I shared, I had no idea how freeing it would be. Y’all, I feel like a genie without a bottle. Who knew I could post whenever I wanted to?! Smile. Oh, the limits we place on ourselves….

Anyhoo…

Here’s the second part of my message about obedience. It’s not the size of the ask that’s important, nor is it about the task. The importance lies in the act of being obedient.

You see, before I wrote my previous post about obedience, I was tasked with doing something simple but kept delaying it because I didn’t think it was important. Well, after only completing part of the task, I heard that still small voice say that I keep thinking my next is tied to something big or what I consider significant, but in reality, it’s tied to my obedience. Say, what?!!

Y’all, it’s never about the ask or the task but about our obedience.

So, be obedient. You don’t have to understand what God is asking you to do; just do it.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Smile, you are loved and you’re God’s child.🥰

What’s your mantra for today?

Love Doesn’t Hurt

Shaun Bradford

Here are two posts I made on this day about love.

The first is a caption I added when I reshared the original post.

Remember, love doesn’t hurt. It’s the craziness surrounding love that causes the pain.

Love and be loved.♥️

Love you,

Freedom Fridays (2)

Shaun Bradford

Welcome back to “Freedom Fridays”!

Today, I am releasing myself from the guilt and shame of not completing the DrPH (Doctor of Public Health) program. I may have been pursuing the degree for the wrong reasons, but I still wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. Yes, I must let the guilt and shame go. God has other plans—plans I don’t yet see—but I know He does.🙏🏽

I was in Tampa for my first residency.

Our “Yes”

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Just saw this quote by Pastor Mike Todd on Instagram— “God saw all of this before you said yes.”

Y’all, this quote hit my soul! I instantly thought about the yeses I’ve given God over the years and how where I am currently—physically, mentally, spiritually, etc.—is where God saw me before I even said “Yes.” He already knew what my “yes” would cost me. He already knew what my “yes” would bring me. He already knows where my “yes” is taking me.

If you didn’t know, your “yes” is just as powerful as, if not more powerful than, taking a leap of faith.

Our leaps of faith are usually dramatic—something others can see or follow. However, our yeses are very subtle and intimate. They are given with our hearts, and only God hears them. Sometimes, we say yes before we have a clear vision of what’s asked. The good part is, whenever we say “Yes” to God, we can rest assured that He will always be with us throughout our journey—He’s got us! And He will never ask us for more than He knows we are capable of achieving. If He asks, He already knows we can do it. (Let that sink in.)

Question—What have you said “yes” to lately?

Well, this is all I have for you at the moment. It’s raining, and I slept in. I’m really thinking about turning over and going back to sleep. Smile. I pray you have a fabulous day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Acknowledging God’s Glory

Shaun Bradford

Sometimes we miss God’s glory because we’re looking for something grand. Be sure to keep your eyes open for the small, even tiniest, of His glory. It’s all around you. Be sure not to miss it!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
