Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

In high school, two teachers told me I could be and achieve anything I imagined—my English teacher, Ms. Tressin, and my Spanish teacher, Ms. Dreher. They both knew my dreams and aspirations and fed them. I am so grateful God placed them in my life.

Here’s a card and a quote from Ms. Tressin that was given to me over 30 years ago.

The Tennyson poem and painting she’s referring to is “The Lady of Shalott.” Our “little” English class was a Literature class. I used to enjoy reading different styles of literature. I loved that class.

This is the outside of the card, which has the painting of “The Lady of Shalott.”

And the added quote (I was the only student who received one☺️)—

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”

This is why I still believe.🥰

This is all I have at the moment. I pray you have a fabulous Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Sending Prayers Up: Trusting God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

As difficult as it may be at the moment, we must trust God and believe He has something greater planned. To lose this belief is to lose all hope.

Honestly, I can’t even see it at the moment—can’t even imagine greater than what has been lost. However, I must believe something better is coming. As we know, God sees and plans for years into the future while we only experience the moment.

Praying for everyone suffering from any devastation, not only the fires. Lord, please console their hearts and give them peace, comfort, and relief. Let them know that they are not forgotten, but loved. Send signs of hope their way to let them know better is on the way. Amen

Never doubt that God is working everything out on your behalf. Trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Rooted And Grounded In God

Shaun Bradford
Stay covered.

Many changes and anticipated changes are happening at the moment, causing fear, anxiety, and conflict. My advice is that, no matter what happens, we must first stay rooted and grounded in God, and secondly, remain committed to protecting the sanctity and integrity of humanity. We must remain loving, kind, caring, compassionate, empathetic, and respectful. Y’all, the well-being—not only physical but psychological—of our future and future generations is dependent on it.🙏🏽

Yes, life as we once knew is slowly changing. Please, stay rooted and grounded in God.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

I Believe

Shaun Bradford

I’m just going to sit this right here for the universe to see. I’m not too old, and I still believe that what I saw will be.🙏🏽

Five years ago, when Bishop T. D. Jakes asked us to tweet the title we wanted to hold, I posted the first ones that came to mind—Diplomat, Liaison, and Ambassador. Although I may not officially hold either of those titles, I am already stepping into those roles on a smaller level. One day, I will walk the halls of the Palais des Nations (it has to be Geneva, Switzerland) as one of the three. Of course, God may say otherwise; however, I do not believe He would have given me the vision and dream if they were impossible to achieve.

I believe.♥️

Don’t Give Up – Keep Going!

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Listen, DO NOT give up! I know it seems like you’ve been working towards your dreams for ages, and the closer you get to them, the farther you have to go. Believe me, I get it. I am right there with you. But guess what we’re not going to do? We are not going to give up or settle for less than God’s best for our lives. Instead, we are going to keep going. Yes, we are going to keep going until we see our dreams come true.

Here are two posts that just gave me the boost I needed this morning. I hope they inspire and motivate you.

Facebook Memory: January 6, 2019

The “social media find” that accompanied the Facebook memory.

A Facebook post that randomly showed up on my feed this morning.☺️

THIS!!! I may be 51, but my life is far from over, and my dreams are still possible. I must keep going!

When I tell you God’s messages are always on time. This is why I allow Him to lead.

My Facebook memory reminded me of how far I’ve come in ten years. Y’all, 2015 was a beast! My entire life fell apart that year, and I nearly lost everything (I still had my babies) however, I made it! I’m still here and much further along than before things fell apart. Yes, life is so much better. Also, randomly seeing Mel Robbins’ post on my feed was all God—ALL God.

Y’all, I am so grateful God loves me enough to keep me motivated and encouraged. That He won’t let me give up on my dreams or settle where I am, even when I want to.🥰

By the way, I’m going to go back and follow Mel. I have been listening to her podcasts for over a year or so now but haven’t followed her on social media.

Well, this is all I have at the moment. Thank you for reading. I really do appreciate you. Sending prayers your way for a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
