Dream BIG

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

A few years ago, I made a video documenting a moment when I dreamed BIG and the dream came true. Here’s what I wrote when I shared the TikTok video on Instagram/Facebook.

Facebook Memory: January 18, 2022

“Manifest it! Wrote it down on 09/29/2014. On 10/24/2014 it happened. Y’all, it really doesn’t take long for God to work. He’s quite amazing!☺️

Never stop dreaming!”

And here’s a Facebook story I shared last year (January 18, 2024)—

The original quote “BIG Dream, BIG Faith” was shared on January 18, 2022 with the caption— “Do not let the size of a mustard seed fool you. Although tiny in size, it’s big, bold, and strong; and it carries a faith and confidence that can move mountains. Big dreams require big faith, which can be as small as a mustard seed.”

As I shared last year, you are already living in your dreams. Please be careful not to miss the beautiful moments in front of you because this isn’t the dream you envisioned. Enjoy every minute of now. Believe me, so many treasures can be found in this present moment. In time, you will see what you envisioned.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Chosen Vessel, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I am still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Chosen Vessel.” Maybe this is the song of the month or the year. I’m not sure.

Hmmm…

I’m chosen.

You’re chosen.

We’re chosen for this season in time—definitely something we should not take lightly.

The message I’m getting is…

We have work to do!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 50

Shaun Bradford
Me at my “man’s” (he was 21—barely a man😂) dorm room. We had no idea what we were doing. Lol. Life…

Thought I’d be asleep by now but I am wide awake. The Facebook memory above has me smiling because in 10 days I will have a 30 year old!🎉

When I took that picture, I had no idea my life would be totally different two years later. You couldn’t have told me I would be pregnant, single, and broken, and I’d believe it. There was no way!

I’m smiling because I remember that young girl who was pretending to be a grown woman. She had so much to learn about people and life, but she thought she knew it all. Couldn’t convince her otherwise.

I smile at her innocence.

I smile at her perception of life and people. She believed in everything good.

I smile because she was once me.

I was once her.

I’m still her.

Just older, wiser…and a little lot heavier.☺️

What a journey this life has been. I am forever grateful for the experiences, good and bad, because both made me who I am today. I’m not going to lie, I do miss her.🥰

This Is Peace

Shaun Bradford

Peace is—

Trusting God.
Allowing God to lead.
Knowing God always keeps His promises.
Resting in God’s love.

Yes… This is peace.♥️

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!

The Fruits Of The Spirit

Shaun Bradford

I just watched another eulogy for President Jimmy Carter. Had no idea there was another one until it popped up on my YouTube feed. Y’all, this one had me bawling. He really was a great man. So selfless. His life’s mission was to make someone else’s life better and give them hope. Yeah… I’m crying!😭

Pastor Tony Lowden’s (Jimmy Carter’s pastor and friend) Eulogy

Pastor Lowden said President Carter’s life exemplified the Fruits of the Spirit. (Galatians 5:22-23):

Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Goodness
Faithfulness
Gentleness
& Self-control

Honestly, after seeing this eulogy, I really want to be a better person and continue his legacy. What a beautiful gift he left me, and he had no idea he was leaving me one. Yes, I am claiming it as mine.☺️ For real y’all, I am truly, truly blessed.♥️

Don’t Settle

Shaun Bradford

Here’s what I shared six years ago on January 12, 2019. Honestly, I don’t have much to add. I believe I said it all then.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

This is the social media find I was referring to.

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

In high school, two teachers told me I could be and achieve anything I imagined—my English teacher, Ms. Tressin, and my Spanish teacher, Ms. Dreher. They both knew my dreams and aspirations and fed them. I am so grateful God placed them in my life.

Here’s a card and a quote from Ms. Tressin that was given to me over 30 years ago.

The Tennyson poem and painting she’s referring to is “The Lady of Shalott.” Our “little” English class was a Literature class. I used to enjoy reading different styles of literature. I loved that class.

This is the outside of the card, which has the painting of “The Lady of Shalott.”

And the added quote (I was the only student who received one☺️)—

“If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.”

This is why I still believe.🥰

This is all I have at the moment. I pray you have a fabulous Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 49

Shaun Bradford
It’s time.

Been feeling Trent Shelton’s message more and more lately. I guess you could say that’s what these past 30 years (since the knowledge of my firstborn’s conception) have been—me living in survival mode. Now, it’s time to thrive.♥️ ~Shaun
