The Best…Is Yet To Come?

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Sometimes, you have to be your own hype woman (man). You have to pump yourself up so well that whatever’s happening around you seems so small and insignificant that you can tune it out. Or that you can take on any and everything that comes your way because you know the outcome will be great.

Today, I’m singing “The Best Is Yet To Come,” trying to hype myself up. In the memory below, I wrote, “Believe me, you ain’t seen nothing yet!” Well, that was me hyping myself up, and honestly, it probably worked. However, today, I’m not feeling it. Whew! I’m not feeling it at all. Y’all, I’m going to need a minute to process what’s happened over the past couple of days.

Yeah… I need time to process this. I can’t believe all our progress as a society is about to be ripped away. All the work women fought for to have our voices heard and respected as equal—gone. All the progress we’ve made since slavery and the Civil Rights movement—gone. Religious freedoms—gone. Global respect—gone. And people are celebrating.

Yeah… I’m going to need a minute. I cannot allow my own hope and optimism to die like everything else. I cannot and will not allow my heart to become hard because love is everything to me. What is the world without it? So, this will probably be my only post for today. I need to connect with God. I don’t know or understand what He’s doing, but I still trust Him. However, right now, my heart hurts.

Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Good Morning!☀️

Forward is the only way to go.

Eyes forward.

Mind forward.

Thoughts forward.

Moving forward.

Yes, forward is the only way to go.

God’s got us.

Praying you have a beautifully, blessed day.♥️

God Is Moving

Shaun Bradford

God is moving and moving in a mighty way. I can feel it in my soul and spirit, and it’s not superficial or emotional but purely spiritual. I know I can’t be the only one experiencing this.

Y’all, I am still hearing the songs, “Change Me” and “I Do Worship.” When I tell you my spirit is full, and the worship is running over. I haven’t experienced this level of worship before for more than an hour or so. So, this experience is very different. I really wish I could explain it in a way where you could also experience it. It’s like, while I’m going about my everyday life—working and all—the angels, my soul, and my spirit are having a good ole time worshiping God. I check in every now and then and do a little hand wave or say Hallelujah, but they are going at it! And I am here for it! Laughing

Listen, that’s all! I just wanted to give y’all an update. Smile. I hope your week has been just as excitingly different as mine.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

P.S. When you ask for different and you give God free rein, there’s no telling what He’ll do! And the best part is, your different will be completely tailored for you. Isn’t God good?!🥰

Good Night (27)

Shaun Bradford

Tonight, I’ve decided to do something different—I’m going to bed earlier. My goal is to get more sleep. I’m aiming for at least five uninterrupted hours. My plan is to log off all social media by 10 pm and be asleep by 11 pm. My goal is do this at least three days a week. I’ll keep y’all posted on how it goes. This means I might need to rethink my posting times or post my Facebook memories later in the day. With this being said, I’m also considering posting more. Yayyyy! I kind of like the idea of sharing a mid-day post, and it does give me a break. So those worship sessions weren’t for nothing. I guess they were preparing me to do a little more. Smile.

I also posted another TikTok video this morning. This one was very short, less than 15 seconds. It was of butterflies flying around so carefree. I added the caption, “God’s got you.” Will share it below.

Anyhoo… I’m about to start shutting things down. Going to scroll down my timelines one last time, then log off. I pray you had a wonderful day and wishing you a peaceful night.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God’s got you!

Tap Into God’s Strength

Shaun Bradford

In my previous post, I mentioned my journal entry from October 22, 2023. The first two sentences in that entry were—

“‘Not from my own strength but God’s’ is what I just heard. I need to start tapping into His strength.”

Tap into His strength. Let Him do the heavy lifting. He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

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

Mid-Afternoon Worship

Shaun Bradford

I guess my spirit feels like worshipping right now, so I’m going to let it do so. The song that’s been playing over and over in my mind for the past 30 minutes or so (that’s how I know there’s worshipping happening) is “Change Me” by Tamela Mann.

The song says—

Change me, oh God
Make me more like you
Change me, oh God
Wash me through and through
Create in me a clean heart
So that I may worship you

Y’all, God is working, from my spirit outwards. I feel it and I’m not ashamed to share it.

Forever grateful.

Forever blessed.

God is so good!

Amen

I’m sharing the video below in case you feel like worshiping too.☺️♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“Never doubt that you are loved. YOU are so very loved.”

That’s the quote I shared on this date a year ago. Y’all, it feels so wonderful to be loved, and to be loved unconditionally.

Yesterday, I got to spend the day with my two hearts. Now that they’re grown and doing their own thing, it’s been a while—maybe since last Christmas—that we’ve spent more than an hour or two together. My son is usually working on the weekends, and my daughter no longer lives in Mississippi.

Well, yesterday, we were together almost the entire day. We sang, danced, laughed, and talked about nothingness (nothing too deep this time). It was just an overall wonderful day. One that I needed so badly. Then, last night they treated me to dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Yes, it feels absolutely wonderful to be loved.🥰

My ♥️♥️s.
Orleans snow crab claws.
Our meals. I’m so glad they don’t mind me taking pictures of my food. Well, my daughter doesn’t. My son…🤷🏽‍♀️☺️

I pray you had a lovely weekend, and may today be even more beautiful. If no one’s told you in a while—like, since I told you yesterday☺️—you are loved.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

You Brighten The World

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m pretty late today with my first post. Y’all, I actually slept the entire night. Something I seldom do. Believe me, I needed it. Feeling blessed and refreshed.😊

Here’s the post I was working on before I fell asleep.

You are a beautiful, radiant flower. Although one of many, your unique design makes you one of one. Keep showing up in your fullest glory. The world needs the light, love, joy, kindness, and peace you bring.🌸

Keep shining, and keep showing up!

I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
