Living In Intentionality

Shaun Bradford

If more kindness, love, light, peace, humility, compassion, empathy, hope and so forth is what I seek, I must be intentional about putting it into the atmosphere. I have to do more to make sure it is seen and shared, whether I am the one creating the content or sharing someone else’s. I know I won’t always get it right. However, I am willing to try. I refuse to believe there are more bad things happening in the world than good. The good just are not being highlighted enough.

Here is a quote from another fav of mine, President Barack Obama.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

President Barack Obama

I have to be intentional about promoting the change I am seeking.

Wishing you a lovely week!♥️

Be Blessed,

Shaun

Your “Yes”

Shaun Bradford
When you tell God “Yes,” be prepared for whatever comes.

In case you didn’t know, it was your “Yes” that set everything in motion. It was your “Yes” that ignited it all. It was your “Yes” that had you believe all things were possible. Now, it’s your “Yes” that will allow you to experience God’s glory.

Bet you didn’t know your “Yes” was so powerful. Smile♥️

Good Night (5)

Shaun Bradford

Attempting to wind down but the song, “My Testimony,” by Marvin Sapp keeps playing over and over in my head. I guess my soul is having its own late night praise and worship session. The song says:

So if you see me cry
it’s just a sign that I’m,
I’m still alive,
oh yeah, I got some scars,
but I’m still alive
In spite of calamity
He still has a plan for me
And it’s working for my good
and it’s building my testimony

Y’all, I made it! I actually made it through. When I look back over my life and all the things I have gone through; things that should have taken me out; things that made me want to quit; all I can do is praise God.

Y’all, I made it!!!

Blessed and grateful…

God is good.

Praying you have a restful night.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

A Reflection: It’s Been Ten Years

Shaun Bradford

In my previous post, I mentioned receiving an invite to a media training that awakened so many dreams. Well, here’s what I wrote afterwards:

Shaun’s Journal Entry: June 3, 2014

New Orleans was definitely a great professional experience. I came back with a sense of worth. I felt like I could actually accomplish my goals. I now have a different outlook on life & my role in this universe. I am destined for greatness & there’s nothing wrong with it. Thank you God for helping me realize my potential. Please give me the knowledge, strength, courage, and intelligence to do things the correct way. I thank you so much for the favor!

Y’all, there are so many key elements in that entry that I had no idea I would struggle with over the years that followed. Didn’t see any of it coming. When I tell you my life was disrupted for real! Whew!! But I made it!!!

One of my biggest struggles, which I believe is the reasoning behind the self-sabotage, is this one statement: “I am destined for greatness…”

Y’all, that was a very bold statement. I saw it. I felt it. And over the years whenever I felt it creeping up again, I would shut it down. Every. Single. Time.

Very interesting revelation, isn’t it? Had no idea I was even doing it.

Moving forward, I am going to keep the same prayer in mind—

God, please give me the knowledge, strength, courage, and intelligence to do things the correct way. Amen

I believe if I make this prayer the center of all future endeavors, I will be okay.

Here’s to 10 years!🎉🎉

Yes… this is Year50…♥️

Here are a few pictures from my trip and the invite from this day ten years ago. Still can’t believe it’s been ten years.

God’s Will, Not Mine

Shaun Bradford
I surrender all.

My prayer for today is—

“God, move as You choose. It’s not about me, but about You. I am Your child and Your vessel. I know that You have great things in store for me. Please, let me not run away from situations when they become too uncomfortable, or take things into my own hands. You are in control and I trust You. More of You, less of me. Amen”

Praying you have a blessed day!♥️

Focus On The Promise

Shaun Bradford

Here’s today’s Facebook memory from two years ago.

Facebook Memory: May 3, 2022

How often have you become so distracted by the hows and whens that you lose sight of the promise? Even though you can’t clearly see the outcome, keep believing. Eventually, the promise will come to fruition.♥️

This was two years ago and I still have to remind myself to stay focused on the promise. Unlike then, when I was focused on the how and when, I am now faced with my hesitancy to become uncomfortable. On this side of fifty, I have found myself asking if the promise—my goals, dreams and aspirations—is worth giving up this nice, comfortable space I have created. Believe me, it has been a struggle because the how and when are actually happening now.

I am slowly but surely letting this comfortable space go because I want the promise more than my comfort. Y’all, there is no way God has brought me to the door of the promise and I not walk through it. Nope! Not this time.♥️

This is Year50…

Never Give Up On Your Goals or Dreams

Shaun Bradford

Never give up on your goals or dreams. They may not happen when or the way you envisioned them to, but they will happen.

This has been my prayer, lately:

Lord, please let me be able to recognize and receive what I dreamed. Please let my ego and stubbornness die so that I can enjoy every blessing You have for me. More of You, less of me.

I know my purpose is too great for me to keep getting in my own way. Yes, sometimes I get in the way of my own blessings, dreams, and goals. Not anymore. It’s time for me to see my goals and dreams fulfilled. There’s so much for me to do!♥️

More of God, less of me…
