Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday!☀️

Hoping all is well with you.🌹

Yesterday, I ventured back onto Facebook—just for a moment (actually, my thumb accidentally clicked the app🥴). Everyone seems to be doing great, which makes me smile. And y’all, I never knew how much I missed my Facebook memories until I checked them. I used to reshare and post so many wonderful things. As I’ve often said, my Facebook memories are my treasures; they’re my smiles. Here’s a memory—

On July 27, 2022, I wrote the following caption when I shared my “Wednesday Writings” post on Facebook.

Wednesday Writings (July 27, 2022)

“Today, I am beginning a little late. Decided everything else could wait. I needed to spend some quality time with God.

Today, I sat still and listened.

I hear You, God.” – Shaun’s Daily Inspiration Facebook post

The past few weeks without the distraction of social media were far more than sitting in my bubble away from the world. It was me spending much-needed quality time with God—listening, praying, praising, worshipping, reading my Word, and being obedient. Y’all, my soul and spirit needed the time away. I needed to build a stronger relationship with God.

This weekend I’m with my dad and stepmom. My sister and niece are arriving a little later today. I haven’t seen them in over a year. So I’m excited to spend time with them.

It’s still a bit dark outside. So, before the sun completely rises, and things get going, I’m going to take a moment and sit still and listen.

God, I’m here.

I pray your weekend has been beautiful thus far. Praying your day and week be just as beautiful and blessed.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Currently Singing A Gospel Oldie

Shaun Bradford

Currently singing an oldie! I love it when old songs randomly come to mind. This is a good C.O.G.I.C. (Church of God in Christ) song. One the choir would sing for a good thirty minutes. I can hear the organ and drums… and the tambourines!! The shouting! The praises!!

Yessss…

So, the song I’m currently singing is Walter Hawkins’ “When The Battle Is Over.”

The song says—

“Don’t wait til the battle is over, shout now. You know in the end, you gonna win.”

“Hallelujah!”

Whew!! If you know, you know!!

Have a great rest of your night.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God’s Got You

Shaun Bradford

On July 26, 2017, I ended my journal entry with, “God’s got me.” That day, I was going through all kinds of things, and then, out of the blue, a friend texted me and said, “God’s got you.” She had no idea I wasn’t doing well. All I needed was a little reassurance that God was with me. I knew it, but it felt good to hear it.

Here I am today, eight years later, and what once bothered me, now seems so small—I’ve been through much more since then. I can’t believe I wasted so much time worrying. I just couldn’t see past what I was going through. Y’all, God is so good that our pain seems to fade over time.

I pray that you know God’s got you, just like He had me (and has me). Trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
