Following God’s Lead

Shaun Bradford

In last year’s blog post I wrote— “You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.”

Listen, God is the Master of plot twists. For years, you can think your life is headed in one direction only to have it shift in another. I have finally learned to stop trying to guess where He’s taking me—which I now realize was a form of control on my end—and just allow Him to move as He sees fit. All I do now is say, “I see You, God,” and keep on moving. I know He has me in His hands; and wherever He’s taking me is somewhere wonderfully beautiful because He loves me and I trust Him.

My advice. Trust God to lead. Release control and let Him take you wherever He’s taking you—because He’s going to do it anyway. Smile. Resisting only causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. As they say, “Let go and let God.” He knows what’s best and He’s got you! Love you!♥️

Trust Him.

Believe For It

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I was dead set on not using a Facebook memory from this day for my posts. Well, I guess it’s not about my plans. Being obedient. Laughing

So, I just read my journal entry from two years ago (April 26, 2022) looking for inspiration for this post and it led me right back to the Facebook memory I wasn’t going to share. Here’s what I wrote:

Shaun’s Journal Entry: April 26, 2022

Anyway, last night I was lead to read last year’s journal entry from April 25, 2021 which referred to April 26, 2015. The word was definitely for me – I Believe and God Knows. For almost two weeks or more the song, Believe For It has been stuck in my head and the word “believe” has been on my conscience for days. So when I read “I believe,” I knew this message was for me. So that’s what I shared as today’s quote, “Believe. It’s already done.” I have to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it’s done. Period.

And here’s the Facebook memory from that day.

Facebook Memory: April 26, 2022

Believe it’s already done.
OR.. Believe. It’s already done. Listen, that period makes a difference. It’s assurance that whatever you’re believing for IS already done. You may not see it yet, but it’s done. So stop worrying and start living. It’s done!

Yes, it’s already done!

Have a blessed rest of the day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Don’t You Dare Give Up

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: April 25, 2023

Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️

Trust God!

Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.

Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Obedience Is Key

Shaun Bradford

Obedience is key to contentment and peace. I believe most people understand what it means to be at peace, but I do not know if many understand the concept of contentment—the state of happiness and satisfaction. I have heard people associate contentment with settling, or the lack of ambition; however, being content is so much more. For me, it’s waking up knowing that God is in control and has me in His hands. That whatever comes or goes, He’s got me. In no way does it mean that I have settled for what is, nor does it mean I do not desire more. No, it means I’m good. I am finally happy with my life.

This morning, I was reminded that I asked for both, peace and contentment; and that’s exactly what I have been gifted. My obedience has afforded me these gifts and I refuse to let them go. I have learned that I don’t have to have all of the answers, or completely understand the assignment to make moves. All I have to do is be obedient and follow God’s guidance, and He will do the rest.

Loving this space I am in. I’m blessed.♥️ ~Shaun
