The Process: Part 2

Shaun Bradford

As soon as I published my last blog I could hear God speaking, calming my frustration. Yes, I was a little frustrated. Here is the message He gave me. Hopefully you can use it too. It’s for all of us who have become frustrated with this growth process.

The message…

Do not be discouraged. You are exactly where you are suppose to be. You may think that you should be further along but you are not. Timing is everything.

Then I was reminded of what a speaker had said about timing. They said everything happens at an appointed time—meaning everything connects when it is meant to. I’m not sure who said it but they said what if the person you were meant to connect with wasn’t even born when you expected things to happen. What if God is still preparing that person or thing you are supposed to connect with? Do you jump the gun because you are too impatient to wait? Do you ditch the process all together because you do not see anything happening? Or do you wait, and continue waiting, until the time is right?

God has reassured me that everything will happen at its appointed time. Frustration will also happen. Unfortunately, it is part of the process. However, we do not have to give in to our frustrations or make rash decisions. No, what we must do is lean into God even more, and allow Him to guide us to where we are meant to be. We will get there. Love you!♥️

This Process is Processing

Facebook Memory: October 4, 2022

Where you begin rarely looks like what you envisioned. Give yourself space, time and grace to grow. Don’t give up. You’ll get there!♥️

I’ll get there, eventually. Growing…

On another note, “Savior More Than Life,” by Kirk Franklin and The Family is still on repeat in my head. It’s been like this for days now. I can listen to music all day but once I turn it off, this song pops back up. Is my spirit on auto-worship mode and this is its worship song? Right now I am hearing that I just need to lean into God a little more as if a protection mode has been activated. Whew, Lord. I’m listening.

Well, this is how my day has started. As I stated above, growth is a process and I am still growing. Some days I have no idea if I am still in seed form or if my leaves are finally growing. When will my flowers begin budding? Sighing. Only time and life will tell. Until then, I guess I will lean into God a little more—get all comfy—and allow Him to love on me. Y’all have a wonderful day.

Love you!♥️

Stay Centered

Shaun Bradford

Life is going to happen regardless. Staying centered means blocking outside and internal noises, and only focusing on yourself and God.

Yes, life is going to do what it does. Do not let it drag you with it.♥️ ~ Shaun

Breathe. Stay focused on all things good. Remember, God’s got you.

Rabbit Holes

Shaun Bradford

I’m not a TikTok person. Have never been able to spend more than a few minutes on it. However, tonight I have already spent over an hour watching videos. How did I get sucked in?! Guess it’s one more app I’m going to have to be intentional about staying off of.

Anyhoo… life is good. And according to TikTok, I am doing better than a lot of people. Tonight I have seen so many videos about betrayals, breakups, gossip and everything in between. Y’all, I watched things I wouldn’t normally spend my time on. Shaking my head… Yeah, I gotta stay away from TikTok. Listen, that “For You,” isn’t for me. Sticking with my little group of friends and the people I actually follow. That “For You” will have you all depressed and distrusting everybody. Kind of like those Lifetime movies. Let me go back to YouTube.

Before I end, I want to pray for those who are hurting, those who are heartbroken, those who have been betrayed, those who are broken but pretending to be well, praying for those who are trying to make it from day to day. May God hold them a little closer. Praying He wipes away their tears and heals their hearts.

People are really hurting…

Good Night♥️
