Value

Shaun Bradford

Hello! So, according to my journal entry from July 30, 2022, I was deeply engaged in a conversation Jay Shetty and Lewis Howes were having on a podcast (will share the podcast if I can find it). It was about love, life, growth and relationships. Y’all, I took so many notes. I also jotted down important questions I needed to answer. One was about what I valued. I even wrote, “Shaun, what do you value?” Well, as I mentioned, their conversation was mainly about relationships/companionship so I answered accordingly. Today, I asked myself the same question but answered based on life in general.

Guess what?! I value YOU!♥️

Aside from my relationship with God, here are a few things I value:

Love, kindness, compassion, respect, optimism, peace, time with family, Me time, and people. Not necessarily in that order, but those are a few.

How about you? What are some things you value?

Found the podcast!! Smiling because Lewis is now engaged to his then girlfriend. Love is a beautiful thing.♥️

Customized Purpose

Shaun Bradford

Hello! I shared the following message below in July 2021. This morning it popped up in my Facebook stories so I decided to share it.

Not only are our blessings customized, but so are our purposes. Listen, we all have our own unique purpose. I have a purpose that only I can fulfill, and same with you. I know it may feel like everyone is doing the same thing so why even bother. But do bother! Please do!! Go ahead with your ideas. God gave them to you because you have a purpose to fulfill. There are people you can reach and connect with that others cannot (learned this from watching my fav). Your unique twist may be something that clicks or resonates with someone. So, please move forward with what God has put in your heart. Believe me, someone is waiting for what you have to give.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

**Decided not to wait until the scheduled time to publish this. I feel someone can use this message right now.

Obedience and Peace

Shaun Bradford

Hello! Praying you had a wonderful weekend. Today’s message is, “Obedience leads to peace.”

Lately, I have noticed how much more peaceful life has become since I decided to obey God the first time. Not the third or fourth time, or after I have asked for several confirmations, but the first time.

If peace is what you seek, be obedient. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun

God knows what He is doing and where He’s taking you. Trust Him, the first time.

Believe In Yourself

Shaun Bradford

Believe in yourself and your abilities. If God put the dreams and goals inside of you, know that you are capable of achieving them. You got this!♥️ ~Shaun

Love!

Shaun Bradford

Love is beautiful, and it’s always around us. Sometimes we just have to look a little harder to find it, but it’s always here. Now, hate is going to be hate and try to destroy everything love has built. However, love will always win. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun

Facebook Memory: July 26, 2022

It’s quite evident that hate is in the air. However, love is also in the air. Today, let’s focus on love.

Give it.
Receive it.
Embrace it.

Yes, it’s all about LOVE. Is it just me or can you also hear Earth, Wind & Fire singing #AllAboutLove.♥️

♥️

As you can see, back then I could hear Earth, Wind, and Fire singing, “All About Love.” It’s not one of their popular songs, but the words are deep. Definitely worth a listen.

Blessed

Shaun Bradford

On July 26, 2022, I wrote the following:

“I pray that I never get to a point where I forget to acknowledge God’s mercy, love and grace. Y’all, every time I think about how wonderful He’s been to me throughout my lifetime, I become emotional. If you only knew!🙌🏽 EVERYTHING I have, I owe to Him. I’m blessed.”

Y’all, I am so very blessed. I never want to lose sight of how truly blessed I am. Everything I have and am is because of God.

Blessed … Beyond Blessed

Over the years, I have changed my graphics numerous times. I believe this particular one is from 2018. Now, I’m on a simplistic, clean kick. Not sure what’s next.

Currently—No image, only the message and my name, making it more personal.

Bold statement with my artwork as the background. It was mostly about the art.

I was on a gold kick for a while. Still love it but it was a bit much.

The gold, again.☺️

And… again. This is me!🥰

That’s all for now. I pray that you have a wonderful weekend.♥️

Write Your Own Story

Shaun Bradford

Remember to stay in control of the pen. Your life is your story, and you control the narrative. While you may not be able to control everything around you, you do have control over how you react or respond in different situations. This, in turn, lends to the outcome of your story. So, write your story, and make it good. Oh… and start over as many times as you please. Remember, it’s your story. Also, be sure to write the truth because lies will only limit the impact of wonderful experiences.❤️

Love you,

Shaun

Facebook Memory: June 18, 2024

Who knows you better than yourself? No one. You are the only one, besides God, who truly knows what you desire from life. So write your story. Feel free to revise as you evolve. Remember, it’s YOUR story.

Write from your authenticity.

The Secret Is In Knowing

Shaun Bradford

I shared the message below a couple of years ago. What I have since learned is that “Knowing” is the secret.♥️ ~Shaun

At this present moment in time, I already have everything I need. Whatever I need for next, God will provide that too. I’m not guessing or hoping He will. I know He will.

Ask

Shaun Bradford
Shared on June 13, 2023. Image Credit: Unknown

Not sure who wrote the message on the image above. I shared it on this day last year, and thought it would be good to share it again.

Message: Ask for what you want. As I have often heard, the answer will either be— “Yes,” “No,” or “Not now.”

What I have learned is all of the answers have a purpose. “Yes” means it will happen. “No” means God has something better planned. We may not understand or accept the “No,” but it’s often for our protection—physically, mentally, emotionally, and/or spiritually. “Not now” usually means God is still working on a few things, and sometimes that thing is us. Smile. Remember, delayed is not denied.

So go ahead and ask. Then, learn to be content with the answer if it’s not what you want to hear. Believe me, it only means God has a bigger and better plan.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Never Stop Creating

Shaun Bradford

On June 13, 2022, I wrote:

If you can imagine it, I wholeheartedly believe you can create it. It may not look exactly like what you’ve imagined, but create it anyway. Silence that voice that says it’s not good enough because God will step in and perfect it. So create!

This image was shared with the caption above. What a difference two years make. Smiling because I know it’s only going to get better with time.

Keep creating.

One day what you see will be what you imagined.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
