It’s Shaun’s World

On April 3, 2023, I wrote—

“You know you are blessed and you can feel God’s favor all around you, but have you accepted it?”

Sooo…

You’re surrounded by God’s favor.

But…

Have you accepted it?

**Thinking… Have I accepted God’s favor?

If you haven’t…

Why not?

**Thinking… Why haven’t I accepted it?

Just a few deep thoughts to kick off Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday weekend.

You’re sitting in the midst of God’s favor, but have you fully realized and/or accepted it?

As you move through your day and weekend, I encourage you to be more intentional about recognizing and accepting God’s favor. It’s all around you, and it’s given freely.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Exhaling…

Releasing the day.

God, thank You for getting me through the day.🙏🏽

Amen

Obedience.

I had forgotten that I shared this message on this day last year, until I read last year’s journal entry. At the time, I had a post scheduled but heard to reschedule that post for a later time and schedule this one in its place. Here’s what I wrote:

“By this time it was around 4:20 and almost time for the post to be published. That’s when I heard, “Obedience—Obedience is better than sacrifice.” And guess what, I already had a graphic created for the exact post I needed. By 4:30, I had found the scripture (1 Samuel 15:22), and wrote one sentence—“Be obedient, especially when you don’t understand.” And I definitely didn’t understand but I was obedient.”

The post I was referring to is “Obedience Is Better Than Sacrifice.”

As I suggest in the post, it’s not on us to understand God’s instructions. It’s on us to carry them out.

Today’s message is be obedient.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You can do it.

“Tap into your inner child and create the life you have always dreamed.”

You got this!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

I recently tried to reset my life by disconnecting and, to some extent, isolating myself from the world I had created. I wanted to go back to my pre-social media era, when my life was simple—less noisy and complicated. I wanted to go back to when sitting on the porch and people watching was the highlight of my day. I replaced scrolling through my timelines with listening to nature, listening to music, and watching episodes of Murder, She Wrote, Columbo, Leave it to Beaver, and Girlfriends. I know, strange mix. I sent emails to inform people of my unavailability and canceled appointments and meetings.

I just needed to sit and be.

I needed to think about life, about the world I had created, and the world I’m currently creating.

I needed the calmness. I needed the peace of just being.

Today, my very short, much-needed break is over. If tomorrow weren’t Good Friday, I would have taken one more day for myself. But now, I have to jump back into the real world. The world I, Shaun, created. Will it be less noisy? Definitely not! I have a million and one things I need to do. But I needed the break.

Time to get moving!♥️

Signed and sealed with love, light, and perseverance. Persevere, my friend! Persevere!

–Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Yes… Persevere!

On April 2, 2024, I wrote the following when I shared the word “Persevere”—

“No matter how many setbacks you have, keep trying. No matter how many times you have to restart, keep starting. Keep dreaming. Keep creating. Keep building. PERSEVERE! In time, everything you once dreamed will be your reality.”

---

Persevere until every beautiful dream you’ve ever dreamed comes to fruition. Then, dream even more.

Never stop dreaming.

Never stop creating.

Never stop believing.

Your dreams will happen.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Thought I’d speak a few words of goodness over my month before this day ends. Listen, it worked last year, so why not do it again this year?! Feel free to do the same.

April, please be good to me! Good vibes only all month long. I deserve it!

And so do you. Don’t forget to speak it!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

There’s a reason why YOU were specifically chosen for this season. God intentionally chose you to fulfill a purpose only you can achieve.

So…

Release control.

Exhale.

and

SHINE!

Let God’s glory shine brightly through you.✨ You were chosen.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

So blessed, thankful, and grateful God chose Dorothy Bradford to be my momma. I needed her messages this morning. Although very short, they’re more significant than anyone will ever know.

April 1st…

This morning, I’m speaking Joel Osteen’s words over my life—

“Father, thank You that You’re taking me where I couldn’t go on my own. Thank You that You’re causing me to stand out, that good breaks are chasing me down, that the right people are headed my way.” Amen

As my momma spoke over me in 2021—

“Again [I] rise! Unlimited Possibilities.” Hallelujah

---

This morning, I’m speaking my momma’s words over YOU.

“Again YOU rise!”

Unlimited possibilities are surrounding you. Tap into them. You won’t fail!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
