Mid-Afternoon Worship

Shaun Bradford

I guess my spirit feels like worshipping right now, so I’m going to let it do so. The song that’s been playing over and over in my mind for the past 30 minutes or so (that’s how I know there’s worshipping happening) is “Change Me” by Tamela Mann.

The song says—

Change me, oh God
Make me more like you
Change me, oh God
Wash me through and through
Create in me a clean heart
So that I may worship you

Y’all, God is working, from my spirit outwards. I feel it and I’m not ashamed to share it.

Forever grateful.

Forever blessed.

God is so good!

Amen

I’m sharing the video below in case you feel like worshiping too.☺️♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Preparation

Shaun Bradford

While patiently awaiting the next—whether it’s the next level of success, new opportunities and relationships, or a change in season—stay in preparation mode. As the saying goes, great things take time. Well, they also require preparation.

There’s always room for improvement.

A few posts ago, I asked what I could possibly be preparing for. Well, in God’s typical fashion (when dealing with me), He didn’t answer while I was so set on trying to figure things out. No, He waited until my thoughts were clearer, and I was open to receive the answer. And y’all, that’s when the answers started pouring in. When I tell you I love the way God loves me! He knows me so well. I know, He’s God so He should know me. Smile.

Listen, I am forever amazed by how much He sees and understands every detail of my being. Anyway, one of His messages came through a YouTube video by the late Jim Rohn—motivational speaker, author and entrepreneur. When I tell you it was exactly—down to every word of advice—what I needed! Whew!! Again, I just love the way God loves me.🥰

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“Never doubt that you are loved. YOU are so very loved.”

That’s the quote I shared on this date a year ago. Y’all, it feels so wonderful to be loved, and to be loved unconditionally.

Yesterday, I got to spend the day with my two hearts. Now that they’re grown and doing their own thing, it’s been a while—maybe since last Christmas—that we’ve spent more than an hour or two together. My son is usually working on the weekends, and my daughter no longer lives in Mississippi.

Well, yesterday, we were together almost the entire day. We sang, danced, laughed, and talked about nothingness (nothing too deep this time). It was just an overall wonderful day. One that I needed so badly. Then, last night they treated me to dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Yes, it feels absolutely wonderful to be loved.🥰

My ♥️♥️s.
Orleans snow crab claws.
Our meals. I’m so glad they don’t mind me taking pictures of my food. Well, my daughter doesn’t. My son…🤷🏽‍♀️☺️

I pray you had a lovely weekend, and may today be even more beautiful. If no one’s told you in a while—like, since I told you yesterday☺️—you are loved.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Remembering Alton Sutton, Jr.

Shaun Bradford

Today, I’m remembering my brother, Alton Sutton, Jr. He passed away on this day five years ago (October 19, 2019). There’s so much I want to say, but at the moment, I’m finding it hard to articulate my thoughts. When I tell you his presence in our family is so missed.

My brother was our gentle giant—kind, caring, loving, and very mild mannered. Definitely had a heart of gold. He was my dad and stepmom’s only son.

We were on this earth together for 46 years. Born almost three months apart (I was the oldest). Practically, twins… Yes, I miss him.

May he continue to rest in power and peace.🙏🏽🕊️♥️

Taken a year before his death.

We are my dad’s girls. This picture was taken at the hospital the night before my brother passed.🙏🏽

Your Purpose Is Too Great To Settle

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Here’s my first message for today—

Your purpose is much too great for you to settle for what is, or where you are. As I said last year, “You’ve got purposes to fulfill and lives to touch. Get moving!”

Shared on October 19, 2023.

Yes, get moving and keep showing up. Someone somewhere is counting on you to continue walking in your purpose so that they can walk in theirs.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
