Restoration

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

God is restoring everything! Everything you lost. Everything you thought you lost. This is restoration season. Can’t you feel it?! If you can’t, I surely can. I can feel it, and I can see it. It’s happening. Allow it to happen—yes, you must allow it to happen in order to experience the full effect.

I can hear the Winans singing, “Restoration has finally come. Been restored back to my place in God.”

What a wonderful feeling!

You are God’s child. Covered and restored.

Y’all, God is so amazingly good. There is absolutely none like Him. We are truly blessed!

I pray you have a beautiful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Love Is…

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

1 Corinthians 13:4–8 (NIV)

4. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8. Love never fails. …

Love always wins.

I keep hearing, “Love always wins when we let love in.” So, I guess that’s also a message. Smile

Well, that’s all for now. I pray you have a wonderful day and blessed week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Always remember who you are and Whose you are.

Never forget YOU are God’s child—hand crafted and uniquely made—royalty. There’s no other like you. Remember who He created you to be and boldly walk in it.

I pray you have a beautiful Sunday. Again, boldly walk in who you are!

Love you!♥️

Don’t Throw In The Towel Yet

Shaun Bradford

Earlier this morning, a friend texted me a photo I sent them a few years ago. It was a list of things I wanted to achieve within five years (2019-2024). After reading the list, part of me wanted to focus on what I hadn’t accomplished, while the other part smiled at what I had. Y’all, I have only achieved two or maybe three out of seven things. The other four are still a work in progress. But guess what?! 2024 is not over yet! I still have a few more weeks to cross off another item or two. Smiling

On another note, when things don’t go as planned, please don’t dwell on it. Use it as an opportunity to do something else or try something new. Just think of it as God’s way of shaking things up to keep you moving.

Love you!♥️

Never Lose Sight Of Your Purpose

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Be careful not to let your current situation (good or bad), emotions, lack of support, or other people cause you to lose sight of your purpose. Always keep your purpose in sight.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning☀️
It’s Self-love Saturday!

Two years ago, I wrote the following in one of my Wednesday Writings post—

“Progression is the name of the game, right? Smiling. Looking forward to meeting the woman I’m becoming.” – Wednesday Writings, November 30, 2022

That statement has me smiling a huge smile. Cheeks hurt because my smile is so big.

Y’all, I can see the woman I am becoming. I see her, and she’s emerging unafraid and unapologetically. Yes, I see her, and I love her.

Real talk, though. I am so glad I didn’t give up on myself and didn’t settle for things as they were. I can only imagine what my life would be like right now had I settled. I knew the path I was headed down, and it wasn’t a good one. At one point, it was one of suppression, depression, and hopelessness. I also think about my children’s lives and what they would be like today. I am so proud of myself for making decisions that helped me take my life back. Y’all, God is so good. As I have said many times before, I am beyond blessed.♥️

The Leap

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning ☀️

Today’s Facebook memory has me pretty emotional. It’s about taking leaps without knowing the details, without knowing what’s to come. All you have is God’s assurance that you won’t fall or fail. Everything else is unknown.

Here’s what I shared on Facebook five years ago (November 25, 2019), unsure who to give credit to for the illustrations.

I wrote—

“Trust God. No matter how outlandish it may seem, if He tells you to do something, do it. He knows what lies ahead. Trust Him.”

I needed this reminder today. I don’t need to see the entire staircase or where the next step will lead. All I need to do is be obedient and trust God, and the rest will unfold.🙏🏽

If there’s a leap you’ve been hesitant to take, perhaps this is your sign to take it. You won’t fail. Praying you have a great day and wonderful week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 23

Shaun Bradford

Listen, when God says He’s got you, believe Him. I can’t stress it enough how good He is.

Chicken Salad Chick’s Lauryn’s Lemon Basil chicken salad, chicken poblano soup, and a broccoli salad. A lot of food—two meals.☺️

Had to take a break and let God do what He does. And guess what?! By the time I finished lunch, He had done just that…what He does. Smiling

Feeling blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Never Stop Showing Up

No matter what, never stop showing up! Never! Your purpose in this world is too great and important for you not to. You have soooo much left to do.♥️

Love you,

You cannot give up!
