Happy 53 Years & 2 Months To Me🎉

Shaun Bradford

Today, I’m taking a moment to celebrate two months of being 53 years old. Y’all, it’s a blessing that I do not take lightly.

Over the past few weeks, I have witnessed so much suffering, pain, loss, grief, and sadness. So many young lives lost. So many people losing hope. Honestly, seeing it all made me want to retreat into my bubble and disconnect from everything outside my small circle. No matter how much light I tried to fill my timelines with, the more heart-wrenching stories seeped in. It was too much—so overwhelming. I know I can’t disconnect as I did before. I have too much work to do, and my purpose won’t allow it—Not this time!

As I prayed last night, God gave me this message—

You were never meant to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s far too heavy a burden to bear. If you really must help, here’s what …

Release It To God

Today, I’m giving every burden and every care to God and celebrating life.🌺

I pray that you do the same. I know it’s much easier said than done, and I’m pretty sure I’ll have to remind myself to do so throughout the day. Smile, I’m human. But we’ve got this because God’s got us!

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with peace, love, and joy. You deserve it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Tuesday!

Shaun Bradford

I believe this is my first post having a Tuesday title. Will have to check and see. Poor Tuesday… I need to be more intentional about showing this day some love. Smile🥰

Anyhoo… I hope your week has started off well and continues to go well. Here’s the post I shared today on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration—

God knows what lies ahead. He knows the uncertainty you will face, the hills you will climb, and peaks of mountains you will see. Allow God to guide.…

Allow God To Guide

Allow God to guide you to where you need to be. You can trust Him—always trust Him.

Wishing you a wonderful day! Remember to be kind to yourself and give yourself grace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Singing, “I Trust In God”

Shaun Bradford

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?

If my future self could send myself one sentence—ONLY one—I would say…

Baby! Trust God!

This morning, I’m singing “Trust In God” by Elevation Worship. Listen, today’s Daily Prompt has me praising God!

Y’all, God is sooooo good! So good! Clink the link above if you’re interested in reading what I wrote. I’m running this morning. Not physically running. Smile. I just have a lot to do in a short period of time.

Here’s what I’m hearing and feeling this morning.

Wishing you an AMAZING day!♥️

Praise God In Advance

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Praise Him In Advance.” I guess it’s the song of the week. Smile. The song says—

That’s why I praise Him with my hands. That’s why I praise Him with a dance. He’s given me a second chance. Come on, let’s praise Him in advance.

This morning I’m thanking God for a hundred second chances. Yes, a hundred—plus some. There are some things God has been working with me on for years and now I’m finally getting around to doing them. He’s given me so many chances to get things right.

Honestly, I believe I needed all of those chances because each time I didn’t follow through with whatever I was supposed to do, I learned something new about myself. I also gained more knowledge about what was asked of me, and God gave me room (grace) to improve. I am so loving this over 50 version of Shaun/LaShaundrea.🥰

Listen, no matter how many times you have to start over, know that every restart is an expression of God’s grace allowing you the opportunity to do better and become a better version of YOU.

I pray you have a lovely day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

One More Day, One More Step

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

This morning I’m singing Smokie Norful’s song “I Understand.” The song says—

And then He said
One more day, one more step
I’m preparing you for myself
When you can’t hear My voice
Please trust my plan
I’m the Lord, I see and yes I understand

Y’all, God is so good! I know I shared a lot yesterday. I haven’t revisited what I wrote, so I really don’t quite remember all that I actually shared. Just know that I had to get it out. It was time.

A couple of weeks ago, I began watching a new podcast by Pat Smith called “Pursuing You.” Pat is also in her 50s and so much of her story has resonated with me—life after divorce, grief from losing a sibling and parent, having adult children, unchecked shame from making unfavorable decisions, and the list goes on. Y’all, I didn’t know how much I needed this podcast—yes, needed! In two episodes, she has mentioned things that I have experienced over the past several years that I had no words for. You know how you know you’re feeling something but you just can’t quite explain it? Well, after Pat began sharing her experiences, especially those of isolation, grief, and shame, I realized I wasn’t alone. Then, yesterday, when I saw the clip of Hayden Panettiere sharing her experience of abuse, I just had to release what I could never quite share. I had to release the shame and the blame I had been carrying for years, and I had to release it then! If I hadn’t, I would have kept it buried.

Whew!! My life…

Y’all, I don’t know what kind of journey God has me on now. However, I’m here for whatever He’s doing because I know He’s preparing me for wherever He’s taking me. I truly trust Him and His plan.

I believe this is enough rambling for now. Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It’s A GOD Thing

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

This message seems to be etched in my mind this morning—It’s a GOD thing.

Yep!

That’s the message.

It’s above your pay grade, so give it back to GOD. Give it ALL to Him.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Not on God’s Watch!

Shaun Bradford

You Will Not Fail.

Not on God’s watch!

Originally shared on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Stay covered.

God’s got you.

The question is…

Do you have yourself?

Listen, trust yourself to do what God already knows you’re capable of doing. He wouldn’t have given you the desire to do the thing if He thought you’d fail.♥️

I love you,

God Is Molding You

Shaun Bradford

You may not always see it, but when you take a moment to pause and breathe, you realize God is molding you into the person you are becoming.

Even when it feels like nothing is happening, God is shaping your heart, strengthening your faith, and preparing you for what’s coming. Stay the …

Small Happenings

Allow God to mold you. I believe you will be happy with the outcome.♥️

I love you,

Faith Is…

Shaun Bradford

Faith is following God’s guidance when you have absolutely no idea where He’s taking you.

I have been working on a project for a few years now—moving as God says move. However, I’m not sure of what the end result will look like. God did not give me a vision for it. This morning I received an email about my next moves, and I’m kind of stuck on where to go from here. Sighing

Moving with Faith…

Smiling through tears because I wrote today’s post, Moving with Faith (under Shaun’s Daily Inspiration), a few days ago not knowing I would need the message today. But God knew!

Y’all, God is so good. He knows what we need well before we know we’ll need it. I’m forever in awe of Him.🥰

Listen, move with faith. You don’t have to know how everything will end. Leave that to God. Just know that His guidance will not steer you wrong.

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. Make sure to be kind to yourself as well as to others.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

peace, trust God

Peace

Shaun Bradford

Peace Begins with Trusting God. Trusting Him with every aspect of your life.

It’s the only way to experience true peace.

I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful week. May it be filled with many blessings.♥️

I love you,

Shaun
