Be Still And Have Faith

May 26, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸

“Be still and have faith” is how I ended last year’s journal entry (May 26, 2024). I was becoming antsy and impatient because life wasn’t moving at the pace I wanted. I felt like I needed to do something. I needed to make things happen on my own because God wasn’t moving fast enough for me. I had thought of so many things I could’ve been doing, yet I heard to “be still and have faith.” Looking back over the past year, I am so grateful I was obedient. Had I not been, I would have missed out on so many opportunities as well as the connections and relationships I’ve built. What God has done in one year was taking me years to build.

Here’s my takeaway, or what I’ve learned—

Whenever you want to take control because God doesn’t seem to be moving, or He’s moving much too slowly—BE STILL! I even wrote in that entry, “Shaun, sit on your hands if you must.” And I almost needed to. BUT GOD!

Be still and have faith that God is going to do what He said He would do PLUS more! No lie, He will blow your mind!

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. Please remember those who sacrificed their lives for us to have the freedoms we still have today.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Be Mindful Of Your Whispers

May 25, 2025 Shaun Bradford

I agree with the author of the quote above. Not only do the things you whisper to yourself—especially when you are alone—have the greatest impact on your life, but they also influence how you move and embrace your authenticity. Be mindful of what you whisper to yourself. Make sure your whispers are always loving, kind, uplifting, and encouraging. In case you forgot, you deserve love from YOU, too.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Remember, You Are More Than A Conqueror

May 25, 2025 Shaun Bradford

I woke up again with the song “Conquerors” on repeat in my head. I listened to it a few times yesterday, and I guess I need to do the same today. In case I’m not the only one who needs to hear it, here’s the link to the song.

“Conquerors,” by Kirk Franklin & The Family

Head up. Shoulders back. Stand tall. You are more than a conqueror. You are God’s child!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
