Often, Easier Said Than Done

Shaun Bradford

Here’s what a shared on January 20, 2023:

In tears right now because I am experiencing a moment of God working in real time. While in the middle of writing this post—while in Walmart trying to buy things for the snow and freezing temps headed my way—thinking about “often, easier said than done,” I received a phone call from a client to schedule an appointment. Here I am trying to figure things out and God is already working things out.

The message—When God says He’s got you and to be still, He means He’s got you! Be still!! ♥️

Now, I’m in here crying… Let me hurry up and leave.

Love you,

Shaun

Greatness

Shaun Bradford

Since 2022, I have shared this same message and am sharing it again today. You are destined for greatness! God wouldn’t have it any other way. He created you to be great. As I recently did, take the limits off God and yourself, and allow Him to work freely. Allow Him to manifest the greatness He’s placed inside of you.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You are God’s child!

Take The First Step

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, “Faith is taking the first step when you don’t see the whole staircase.”

Have faith and take the first step.

Nearly four years ago, I took the first step to fully pursue my dreams. At that time, I couldn’t even see the next step ahead. However, as I moved forward, God revealed more steps.

Y’all… I’m so glad I took that first step. Soooo glad! Although I still can’t see the entire staircase, I can see more steps ahead. Today, I’m not as hesitant to make faith moves and I’ve become more confident with each move. I believe it’s because I’ve learned to trust God’s guidance. When He says wait, I wait—I’m not as impatient as I used to be to make things happen (timing is everything and others’ perceptions don’t matter)—and when He says move, you best believe, I move!

Again, have faith and take the first step. God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

This Morning’s Song

Shaun Bradford

“Conquerors” by Kirk Franklin is the song that’s currently playing in my head. Y’all, we are conquerors! God did not create us to live defeated.

The song says—

“We ran the race. We kept the fight. We shed our blood for what was right. We carried our cross through storm and rain. Because of Christ now we can say—We are conquerors, conquerors.”

Listen, hold your head up and keep pushing forward. YOU are a conqueror!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Growth Requires Patience

Shaun Bradford

Just a little food for thought…

Trust the process.

If you want to grow, you must be willing to 1) put in the work and 2) be patient. Yes…patient. Patient with yourself and with the process. I believe we would all prefer that growth happen overnight or instantly; however, it doesn’t. It takes time, effort, determination, and sometimes courage. All of which requires patience.

I hope your Monday has started well. Remember to breathe and take breaks when needed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
