You Are A Beautiful Song

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

On this date last year, I was singing The Winans song, “Everything You Touch Is A Song.” The song says:

“I think that a song should be something more than a beautiful melody. To tell the story of truth and reality.

I think that a song should be sung by a man who knows the meaning of sorrow and the meaning of true love.

I think that a song should be shared among friends. Then when friends are gone, the melody and meaning still lingers on.”

The song finally ends with, “Everything You [God] touch is a song.”

What a great way to start the day knowing that God’s touch results in a beautiful song; and YOU, my friend, are one of His songs. How wonderful is that!

Praying you enjoy your day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Push

Shaun Bradford

Push yourself beyond your limits. Each day push a little more. Even if it’s only an inch at a time, keep pushing. Push until you achieve your dreams and goals, then push even more. There are blessings waiting for you!

As the saying goes:

Pray

Until

Something

Happens

Then continue praying.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Restoration

Shaun Bradford

Singing, “Restoration has finally come. I’ve been restored back to my place in God.”

Been singing the Winans’ song, “Restoration,” off and on since I woke up this morning. Y’all, God is in the process of restoring everything we lost and adding more. How wonderful is that!

Praying you have a blessed and peaceful night.♥️

Good Night,

Shaun

Remove The Limits

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Today’s message is quite simple. Desire more — remove the limits. Remove the limits so God can work freely. Yes… Allow Him to do what He does.

Praying you have a wonderful weekend!♥️

God Is The Source

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! While we are busy searching for sources to fulfill our needs or fill voids, God is sitting back waiting for us to seek Him. He is the source. He’s the one who provides everything we need, and Ge fills our voids.♥️ ~Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday! Have you ever wanted things in your life to change, but you were reluctant to change (behaviors or environment)? Have you ever assumed you’d wake up one morning and things would be different?

Well, my answer is “yes” to both questions—plenty of times.

When I think about my life, change always began with my desire for something different. Whether it was for a better life—physically, mentally, spiritually, or financially—or a different outcome to a situation, it first began with my desire for the change. After desiring the change, my thoughts began to change, then my actions. Soon after, my life changed.

“If you want something different, you have to do something different. Change requires change.♥️”

Yes, change requires change.

Question – Are you willing to change?

Think I’ll end here. Thank you for reading! Praying you have a wonderful relaxing day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Shifting Atmospheres

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

I began last year’s journal entry with the following:

“Shaun, your worship and praise shifts atmospheres. You were not meant to blend in. You were called to shift things.” (Shaun’s Journal, August 23, 2023)

I was not meant to blend in but to shift atmospheres.

YOU were not meant to blend in. You were also created to shift atmospheres.

Question – Are you shifting or influencing the atmosphere/spaces around you? If so, is it in a positive or negative way?

I am also asking myself the same. I believe it’s necessary for us to reevaluate our current situations and relationships and our impact in these spaces. If we’re lending to positive outcomes and growth, then we’re doing a good job. If not, then we either need to change what we’re doing (because sometimes it’s us) or remove ourselves from these spaces.

Hope

Peace

Love

Kindness

Prosperity

Growth

These are a few things I strive to bring into every space I enter. If I am not doing so, then it’s time to either make a change—if it’s where I am meant to stay at the moment—or it’s time to leave.

Shifting atmospheres—that was my thought on yesterday. Little did I know I had already written what I am actually created to do. When I tell you God forever amazes me! Especially when I can see Him working in and through me. Again, and always, I am beyond blessed.🥰

That’s all for now. My prayer for you today and this weekend is that you have a positive impact on every space you enter. I pray that it is so great that you are be able to see God working through you in real time.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

The Peace of God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! While I was reading my journal entry from August 10, 2017, this particular statement stood out—

“I let it all go. I actually just gave up on it, and a peace came over me.”

This statement reminded me of the scripture I have on a note that’s been in my wallet since September 2014 (shared several blogs ago).

Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

At the time, I was going through a difficult time, financially. According to my journal entry, several bills were due and I didn’t have any money for gas; didn’t know how I would commute back and forth to work that week. When I tell you I was going through it! Just reading what I was going through seems surreal, as do so many other difficult times. When I write about gratitude and feeling truly blessed, it’s because I am no longer where I used to be. Y’all, I made it through. Didn’t think I would, but I did.

When I decided to release the stress and stop trying to solve everything, a sense of peace came over me. After a while, everything worked out, and I was able to move past the situation. A few months later, I started my first consulting business, and a few months after that, I received a promotion.

Over time, I have learned to let go of things that are beyond my control, things that only God can do. When I do, I always experience this indescribable peace. Not only is it a peace of mind, but my entire space becomes peaceful. It’s a peace that I can only describe as the peace of God.

I pray that you have a peaceful day. My daughter is coming to visit so I’m excited. Can’t wait to give her a hug and love on her for a while.🥰

Love you,

Shaun

Funny side note — Just thought of this as I wrote, “Love you.” A few days ago, I saw a post that said there’s a significant difference between saying “I love you” and “Love you.” It said “I love you” is like the Eiffel Tower and “Love you” is like a rundown power structure. Well, know this, my “Love you” is the finest of all structures in existence. It’s from the heart and comes with hugs, prayers, love, and a sprinkle of hope. Now, “I love you,” is only reserved for a select few. That’s the crème of the crème. Lol
