The Adventure Ahead

Shaun Bradford

This particular Facebook memory basically sums up what I began feeling a few days ago—I am on the brink of another adventure. These past several years have been somewhat calm but confusing at times. Well, the confusion is slowly starting to fade and everything is beginning to make sense. I’m not going to lie, I am both excited and anxious. Not sure what lies ahead; however, as I said four years ago, I have God on my side. Everything will be fine.

Facebook Memory: July 22, 2020

I used to tell people how much I LOVED adventures. Then I went on a ride that was way too adventurous for me. Whew!! But God!

This post reminded me that life IS an adventure, and some are way more challenging than others. However, by keeping our focus on GOD, we’re guaranteed to make it through. I’m a witness! I made it!!🙌🏽

Sooo… am I ready for my next adventure? How can I not be? God is on my side.

I’m ready!

That’s all for now. Praying you have a wonderful week. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

“Beyond Blessed“ was the theme I chose for Year51. At the time, I had looked back over the previous 50 years and realized how blessed I was and still am. I stated that I was, “Speaking life, love, peace, joy, optimal health, success, prosperity, and blessings over this next year and beyond.” So, today’s Facebook memory goes perfectly with my theme and statement.

Everything I touch is and will be blessed. Everything! Because I am speaking life and blessings over them. Amen

Facebook Memory: July 21, 2023

Everything YOU touch is blessed. Everything… ♥️

It’s still true today!

Please remember this, especially when it doesn’t feel like it. Everything you’re currently touching and everything you will touch in the future is and will be blessed. Everything! Amen

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Good Night (16)

Shaun Bradford
I am truly blessed.

Winding down early tonight. I have had a long day. Long, but wonderful day.

Thanking God for tailor-made blessings. Blessings that only I can receive.

Beyond Blessed.

THE Source

Shaun Bradford

While we are so focused on what this or that leader will or will not do, God is trying to get our attention. Y’all, He’s our Source, not them. We must stay focused on Him. Whatever comes or goes, it’s God’s presence, love, peace, and provisions that will sustain us. He is the ultimate provider and miracle worker.♥️ ~ Shaun

Remember, God is love. Complete love. Not selective or conditional love.

Old Habits | New Spaces

Shaun Bradford

I was reading a journal entry from July 2017 where I had written, “Old habits do not belong in new spaces.” I was preparing for something new, and I heard God say I needed to change a few habits before I could move forward. Well, I did just that. I changed what I was doing at the time and God did the rest.

Be careful not to take old habits into new spaces. They don’t belong where God’s taking you. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun

Move, so He can move.

Keep Hope Alive, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

When I scheduled my first post to be shared, I didn’t share any of the other captions I wrote last year. I usually share the same message on multiple pages with a similar or different message. Little did I know I would actually need one of the other messages this morning.

This morning, I received a text that left me in tears, and also with a long overdue matter I should have addressed a long time ago. It was something I had been hesitant to acknowledge or address for fear of an unfavorable outcome. A million scenarios have played over and over in my mind. But this reminder has given me the strength and courage needed to do what I need to do. Here’s the caption I shared last year—

July 13, 2023

Life is good, and my God is SO AMAZING! No matter how grim things may appear, or how discouraged you may become, know that God is still on the throne and is working behind the scenes. You will SMILE again. You will LAUGH again. You will LOVE again. You will LIVE a long prosperous (in ALL areas of life) life. Stay connected to God. I promise you, He will not fail you.♥️

♥️

God is still on the throne and I know He has my back and I am covered. I got this!

Praying you have a fabulous day! Also, no matter how crazy things may seem at the moment, know that this isn’t the end. You will smile, laugh, love, and live again. He’s got you. Just make sure you don’t keep putting off things that you need to deal with. It will not only free you but it could potentially free others. Love you!♥️

Get Started

Shaun Bradford

It’s funny that this message was under today’s Facebook memories because I am starting late today. Honestly, I fell asleep before I scheduled today’s first post, and when I woke up, I didn’t feel like writing. Didn’t even feel like sharing last year’s memory. Nothing’s wrong, just tired. I need a vacation. A real vacation. A vacation where I won’t need a vacation from after my vacation. Lol

Anyhoo, here’s today’s Facebook memory.

Facebook Memory: July 11, 2019

Can’t believe it’s Thursday already! Yay!! Here’s today’s social media find. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is get started. You’ll be amazed by what happens when you just make the effort to begin. Believe me, you don’t have to have every detail figured out. Starting can be as simple as picking up a pen, getting out of bed, taking that first step, etc. WHATEVER you do, don’t remain stagnant. The worse feeling in the world is to look up 10 years from now and see you’re still in the same place, contemplating starting. Get started, TODAY!

Fun fact—Before I started blogging daily, I shared “social media finds.” I guess you could say they were the stepping stones that led to Shaun’s Daily Inspiration, which is a true testament that all you have to do is get started. Can’t wait to see where it leads me next!

Even if you can only muster up enough motivation to make one step forward, make that one step. God will do the rest. Have a wonderfully blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

True Happiness

Shaun Bradford

True happiness comes from within.

You can’t find true happiness in things or people, and you surely cannot buy it. Believe me, I have tried before only to end up in the same state—feeling sad, depressed, unloved—after the excitement was over. No, true happiness is God-given and comes from within.♥️

Facebook Memory: July 10, 2023

True happiness comes from within. Wishing you much happiness and peace.♥️

Wishing you true happiness.

On another note, earlier this morning I watched Jay Shetty’s podcast with philanthropist, Melinda French Gates. It was a conversation I was already interested in hearing. However, I did not know it would end up being one I needed to hear. Yes, needed to hear. I can’t say it enough, I just love how God loves me. He always sends the right messages at the absolute right time. Always.

Here’s the link, if you are interested: Jay Shetty with Melinda French Gates.

Praying you’re having a wonderful day this far.♥️

Take Care,

Hold On, Your Breakthrough Is Coming

Shaun Bradford

When we see or hear messages like the one above, we tend to believe our breakthrough is right around the corner. Well, sometimes that corner is very long, like years long. Just know that eventually your breakthrough will happen. Hold on as long as you can in your power. Then when you can’t hold on any longer, give it to God.

Honestly, I am not necessarily sure what I was waiting for besides my divorce, which happened two years later. I am pretty sure there was so much more by the exclamation marks and dancing emoji I used.

A lot has happened in seven years. I am so grateful for every breakthrough I experienced. They strengthened my relationship with God, and made me who I am today.

I pray that whatever breakthrough you are waiting for happens soon. If it doesn’t, just hold on. Believe me, it will happen.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
