Be Obedient

Shaun Bradford

Be obedient. You never know who needs what you have access to.

Yesterday, I texted a friend during Sunday morning service to let her know the message Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts was preaching was about her. I’ve never really spoken to her about anything spiritual before other than saying, “I’m praying for you”, “God’s got you!”; you know, that sort of thing, but nothing more. Well, yesterday I heard as clear as day, you need to send her this message. Even after texting her that morning, I was still second guessing if I should send the link that evening. I had imagined she’d forgotten that I said I would. However, I didn’t wait. I was obedient and sent her the link when it was first available.

A few minutes ago, I opened Facebook and this was the first post on my timeline…

“Shift The Weight” by Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts. Listen, this message blessed me too! When I tell you sometimes the weight can be soooo heavy. However, with God, I have to capacity to handle it. Take a listen!

When God tells you to do something, just do it. Again, you don’t know who needs what you have access to.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

A New Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Today is a new day! In other words, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to do something different. To want something different. To expect something different.

Soooo…

What will you do differently?

What do you want to be different?

What are you expecting to be different?

Just a few questions to ponder. Smile

I pray you have an amazing week that’s different and more wonderful than you expected.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Being A Mother

Shaun Bradford

What are you most proud of in your life?

I am most proud of being a mother. Almost daily, I marvel at the fact that I actually have children—adult children. I never knew I could love and be loved so deeply. They are my biggest cheerleaders, my greatest supporters, my protectors, my encouragers, my friends (they still know I’m their mom). The relationship I have with them is the relationship I always longed for with my mother, and now I have it. I am truly blessed.🥰

Preparation

Shaun Bradford

While patiently awaiting the next—whether it’s the next level of success, new opportunities and relationships, or a change in season—stay in preparation mode. As the saying goes, great things take time. Well, they also require preparation.

There’s always room for improvement.

A few posts ago, I asked what I could possibly be preparing for. Well, in God’s typical fashion (when dealing with me), He didn’t answer while I was so set on trying to figure things out. No, He waited until my thoughts were clearer, and I was open to receive the answer. And y’all, that’s when the answers started pouring in. When I tell you I love the way God loves me! He knows me so well. I know, He’s God so He should know me. Smile.

Listen, I am forever amazed by how much He sees and understands every detail of my being. Anyway, one of His messages came through a YouTube video by the late Jim Rohn—motivational speaker, author and entrepreneur. When I tell you it was exactly—down to every word of advice—what I needed! Whew!! Again, I just love the way God loves me.🥰

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“Never doubt that you are loved. YOU are so very loved.”

That’s the quote I shared on this date a year ago. Y’all, it feels so wonderful to be loved, and to be loved unconditionally.

Yesterday, I got to spend the day with my two hearts. Now that they’re grown and doing their own thing, it’s been a while—maybe since last Christmas—that we’ve spent more than an hour or two together. My son is usually working on the weekends, and my daughter no longer lives in Mississippi.

Well, yesterday, we were together almost the entire day. We sang, danced, laughed, and talked about nothingness (nothing too deep this time). It was just an overall wonderful day. One that I needed so badly. Then, last night they treated me to dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Yes, it feels absolutely wonderful to be loved.🥰

My ♥️♥️s.
Orleans snow crab claws.
Our meals. I’m so glad they don’t mind me taking pictures of my food. Well, my daughter doesn’t. My son…🤷🏽‍♀️☺️

I pray you had a lovely weekend, and may today be even more beautiful. If no one’s told you in a while—like, since I told you yesterday☺️—you are loved.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
