Always Keep God First

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

That’s what I wrote in my journal on October 22, 2023. “Always keep God first.” Believe me, He will not lead you wrong.

Soooo…

Did anyone do anything different yesterday?

Well, I did! It wasn’t drastically different, but it was different.

Yesterday, I wrote about how I felt my spirit worshipping God while hearing Tamela Mann’s song, “Change Me,” repeatedly playing in my head. When I finally listened to it, I had it on repeat for well over an hour. Every time I went to stop playing it, I kept hearing, “One more time.” So I played it until another song popped into my head, which was John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship.” Y’all, my spirit was definitely in worship mode.

So, here’s where ‘different’ came in. After listening to my songs, I really felt the need to share what I was experiencing with the world. I had already written it here (see Mid-Afternoon Worship) but needed to get it out verbally without any interruptions. So, I made a short video and shared it on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. I also shared how I could feel a shift taking place. I’ve been feeling it for a while; however, now the feeling is becoming stronger. And it’s not a bad shift, but a good one.

When I tell you it must have been for me to share! Y’all, I had zero anxiety. None! That has never happened, before. Never! I know it may seem small to you, but it was huge for me.

So, that was my different.

Y’all, God is good. So good. There’s no way I could not keep Him first. As I said, I know it may not seem like a big deal, it was just a video. But it was big for me. What took me a few minutes to do yesterday, would have taken me hours to do before, and it was only a couple of minutes long.

Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Are You Following Your Passion?

Shaun Bradford

Follow your passion and God’s guidance. Be open to where He’s leading you, even if it is unclear. Maybe the check will come or maybe not. But, the joy, experience, and knowledge you will gain will be worth so much more. One day it will all make sense.♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: March 15, 2023

Embrace where you are at this current moment. No, it’s not where you are meant to stay. It’s where you need to be for a specific purpose as well as for growth. Find out what you can glean from this experience.♥️

What are you gleaning from your current experiences?

That was a year ago. Here are a few lessons I have gleaned:

Spend as much quality time as possible with the people you love. They could be here today and gone tomorrow.

My superwoman days are winding down. I am not as strong as I used to be…or as strong as I once thought I was. I must—not an option anymore—take more care of myself than I do others.

Obedience, patience and trust. To be obedient even when things do not make sense. To be patient while God works. To trust God with all things. Again, it’s time for me to hang up my cape.

Honestly, I feel like I am exiting a place I have been in for a while. I have outgrown it and am now entering another phase of life. I do not know what it holds; however, as I mentioned before, I am trusting God with all things. Expecting greater.

I pray you have a wonderful day and beautifully, blessed weekend. Please take care of yourself. Love you!♥️
