Are You Thinking About Settling?

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Are you thinking about settling for something less than what you dreamed possible?

Well, here’s what I wrote two years ago and a year ago when I shared this graphic.

Caption from November 14, 2022:

“Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”

Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!”

Caption from November 14, 2023:

“Don’t do it.
Don’t settle.

If you’re not careful, temporary decisions can easily become permanent. Be patient and keep waiting. God’s got you.”

Word of advice—based on my experience and the knowledge I’ve gained over the years—be careful not to tie your dreams to persons, places, or things. Instead, connect them with what’s in the core of your heart—your passions, your purpose, your values, and the essence behind your dreams.

If you have been following me for a while, you know that going to the United Nations and working with people from different nations is my ultimate dream. However, the core of that dream is to serve others while spreading love and hope. And guess what? I’m already doing it and am preparing to do more. Y’all, I am living my dream. As I have mentioned in past posts, it looks nothing like I imagined; however, it feels like everything I imagined and more.🥰

Listen, I genuinely believe our dreams are God-given, and they are too important and too dear to settle for anything less. Go after your dreams!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Worth The Wait

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Today’s post is short and sweet. It’s a question I ask myself from time to time.

“Is what you’re waiting for worth the wait?”

That’s it. That’s the question—just a little something to ponder.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are A Winner

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Guess what?! You were born to win! What may seem like a loss at the moment is a win for the future. God sees and knows things we are not privileged to. So, do not be too discouraged by what appears to be a loss. You will win!

As the song says, “Don’t wait ‘til the battle is over, shout now. You know in the end, you’re gonna win.” — “When The Battle Is Over” by Walter Hawkins (This used to be the song! IYKYK 😁)

And this isn’t about the election, it’s about life in general. YOU will win.

Shared on November 12, 2022 with the caption: “YOU were born to WIN! I love you and God loves you too. Have a blessed day!”

That’s all for now! Wishing you a winning day!🙌🏽♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

I caught the time at 2:22 and decided to screenshot it and share.

Hope you’re having a wonderful day! Although my day has not gone as planned, I’m good. No complaints. Just going with the flow. I guess this is what it feels like to surrender to God.♥️ ~Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning.☀️

Y’all, I am finally starting to socialize more, and lately it’s been with my fellow veterans. This year, I have attended at least four events, including a small social I attended last night in honor of Veterans Day. Typically, I attend one every other year. However, this year is different—maybe my age has something to do with it (Giggles). This year, I am finally fully embracing my veteran status. I realize I belong to a very special community, and it’s a community I look forward to serving, as well as serving with.

Here’s a picture of me with one of my favorite veterans and friends, Mrs. Raylawni Branch. She’s a retired Air Force nurse and a pillar in our community. I always have a great time when we’re together.

Mrs. Raylawni is a fascinating person. Fun facts, she loves to travel and she taught herself the Korean language by watching Korean movies. Beautiful being.🥰

So far, my Veterans Day weekend has been pretty good. Not sure what I’ll do today. However, tomorrow, which is Veterans Day, is when the real fun begins. People treat us so well on Veterans Day. Smiling

Are you a veteran? If so, what are your plans for tomorrow?

Mine—Breakfast at IHOP, lunch at Olive Garden or Chili’s, and I’m not sure about dinner yet.☺️

Well, that’s all for now. It’s raining good (which is why I’m posting a little late) and I am about to turn over and go back to sleep.

Love you!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 13

Shaun Bradford

It’s Saturday, and I’m up early, starting my day with worship. The song I’m listening to at the moment is The Soul Seekers’ “It’s All God.”

The song says—

“I’ve got a bed for my head; shoes for my feet. I’ve got breath in my body, and if I was just anybody I’d say it’s all good; but I know better, its all God. Yeah, but I know better, it’s all God.”

Y’all, it’s all God.

Forever grateful and beyond blessed.🙏🏽

God’s child.♥️

Stronger, Wiser, and Blessed

Shaun Bradford
I was not built to break. Graphic originally created and shared on November 8, 2023.

Every experience brings strength, wisdom, and blessings.

Today’s song is “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength,” by the late and great songstress, Whitney Houston. The song says—

“I crashed down, and I tumbled, but I did not crumble. I got through all the pain. I didn’t know my own strength.”

Dedicating this song to everyone who’s been through some really dark times, and to those who may be currently experiencing some. You are so much stronger than you know. God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 12

Shaun Bradford

Today, I am feeling so much better. Yesterday, I allowed myself to feel, which I needed to do. I also allowed myself to be comforted my the ultimate comforter in the world, God. Yesterday, I leaned into God and allowed Him to dry my tears and soothe my heart and soul.

Today, I am doing the same. I’m curling up in His arms and allowing His love, peace, and comfort to surround me.

I am loved.

I am protected.

I am covered.

I’m God’s child.♥️
