It’s Shaun’s World

The Past Twelve Years

February 2, 2024 Shaun Bradford

I shared this message of Pastor Joel Osteen’s 12 years ago. Twelve years ago! Y’all, sooo much has happened since then. Since me saying, “God, I’m going to let You take me where You want me to go.” Honestly, I do not believe anything could have prepared me for what would come. Listen, sometimes our plans and God’s plans are completely different.

Took many years to finally appreciate the freedom of allowing Him to lead/drive. Now, it’s almost like second nature…almost! Smile. There are still times when I take the wheel because I believe I know what’s best. Then when things don’t quite work out, I let Him drive again. As Pastor Osteen said, God sees the detours, dead ends, and shortcuts. He sees all. Thankfully, I am finally at a point in life where it doesn’t take me as long to realize who’s in the driver’s seat.

Twelve years later, and I am beyond blessed. I am so glad I allowed God to drive.♥️

This is Year50…

Times up for being afraid. Fear has held you back for way too long. It’s time for you to be who God created you to be. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

It’s time to be fearless.♥️

What’s Yours is Yours

What’s yours, is yours. I have heard a few speakers say, God will never deliver your blessing(s) to the wrong address. What He intended for you, will always come to you—when you are ready to receive it. Not a moment too soon or too late. It will always arrive on time.♥️ ~Shaun

Smile. God’s blessings are tailor made. He will always give you an original masterpiece.

Is It Worth Your Peace?

February 1, 2024February 1, 2024 Shaun Bradford

Question – Is it worth your peace? You know that it I am referring to. It’s that thing you have been contemplating doing but are unsure about. Or, that thing you are currently doing that has been stressing you out, keeping you awake at night, giving you anxiety, and/or making you second guess yourself or your decision. Yes…that it!

Again, is it worth your peace?

When I tell you this side of 50 is actually different. Before, I used to get involved in things because they sounded or looked good, or I saw a need I could fulfill, only to regret it later. Yeah…I am a sucker for helping/assisting where I see a need, solicited or not. Can’t help it!

Well, lately, I have been doing things a little differently. Whenever I find myself about to jump into something, I ask myself if it’s actually worth my peace. Now, being uncomfortable, feeling stressed, or even a little anxious for a moment is fine. I know that comes with new territory. But if it is something that I really do not want to do, but would typically say yes to, I stay away from, no matter how good it sounds. Listen, this is what I call growth! Laughing.

When you have finally found that peace that actually transcends all understanding (Philippians 4:7), you really take time to think before saying “yes.”

I pray you have a lovely day!♥️
