Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

I am not even sure where to begin. I have so many things I could write about. These past few weeks have been unusually emotional. Not in a bad way, if that’s such a thing. It’s almost like I needed it to happen. I needed to be honest about my feelings. About where I am in life and where I desire to be. I guess you can say this has been one eye opening month. Smile

Open to receive love.♥️

Now that clarity is sinking in, I feel more at ease. I’m no longer anxious about how things will work out. If it’s meant to be, it will be. If not, it won’t. And I am okay with that. Ultimately, God is in control and His plans reign supreme. I trust Him, completely.

Here are a few other things I have learned over this short period of time:

  • Life is going to happen. I can try to manage it but I cannot control it.
  • Suppressing my feelings only delays progress. In order to truly move forward, I have to feel and be honest about my feelings.
  • Not to panic when things are not going according to my plan. It only means that God has something different in mind or He’s working a few things out.

Around this time last year, I was reading Christy Nockels’, The Life You Long For and learning how to live from a place of rest while allowing God to love on me. It feels so good to be back on track. Y’all, God is truly amazing.

Wishing you a wonderful week. Thanks for reading.♥️

Cherish Every Moment

Last year’s quote is perfect for today. We must cherish every moment while we can and take nothing or no one for granted. Y’all, we are truly blessed. Enjoy your day.♥️ ~ Shaun

Faith Is Work

Shaun Bradford

Faith requires work; and you best believe trust and patience are work!♥️

Trusting God when you cannot see how something could possibly happen, is work.

Having patience during the wait because you don’t know when it will happen, is work.

Whew! I didn’t know it was going to require this much work! I’m in it now. I have come too far to quit. Gotta see this thing through.

Y’all, FAITH is work! The funny thing about faith is once you believe you have it mastered, you enter another realm that requires even more faith. I guess this is a good thing. Guess it means you are actually making progress.

Faith…

Be Encouraged

I can hear William Becton and choir singing–

“Be encouraged, no matter what’s going on. He’ll make it alright, but you gotta stay strong.”

God’s got you!♥️ ~ Shaun

Hello Sunday

News Flash!

Our dreams and goals require that we work for what we want. We must also be patient and trust God’s timing while we work. Eventually, our hard work and dedication will pay off.

Have a blessed Sunday!♥️

Be Still

Shaun Bradford

When God tells us to be still, He means, “Be Still!” This means to stop thinking about it. Leave it alone!

He’s shown me again and again that He works best when I stop interfering. When I stop trying to figure things out.

Allow Him to work.♥️ ~ Shaun

Wednesday Writings

Shaun Bradford

Happy Wednesday! I’m not going to keep you long. Wanted to share a snippet of a Facebook memory from a few years ago.

Facebook Memory: January 18, 2019:

I came across a quote that read, “Stay the Course.” Y’all, we have to stay the course because so many blessings are awaiting us. Even if you’re barely hanging on by a thread, don’t let go. Hold on to that one pinch of hope. God is working and everything will work in your favor. Don’t Give Up

Listen, do not give up. God has a way of making everything fall into place. So, stop stressing. Stop trying to figure things out. Go on about your day doing what you do – minus the stressing – and allow God to do what He does.

Wishing you a peaceful day!♥️

Be Blessed

Pour Into Others

Shaun Bradford

You have been blessed with many gifts that are meant to be shared. Don’t hold on to them. Give someone what you wish someone would have given you.

Blessings flow when we pour into others.♥️

Follow Your Passion

Shaun Bradford

Whatever you are passionate about at the moment (yes.. sometimes our passions change), follow it. It’s part of your journey.♥️

Y’all, I’m so glad I can finally say that I’m wholeheartedly following my passion. Even passions for things I thought were long gone have been rekindled. They’re just happening on a different level. Y’all, when I tell you God is sooo good! Whew!! I’m blessed. ~ Shaun
