The Little Engine

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: September 17, 2022

Keep moving. You’ve come too far to give up on your dreams, goals and purpose. Just because you can’t see or feel God working, doesn’t mean He isn’t. Imagine if you were to quit today and tomorrow everything was set to fall in place. Again– Keep moving!♥️

Honestly, most of the time I feel like the “Little Engine That Could”. Like I’m living on this steep hill, and although I’m moving forward, it’s a struggle and barely noticeable. One stall and I might slip. Then, I’ll have to start all over. So, I never truly stop. Nope, I keep moving. An inch here and several there, but I never stop moving. It’s little reminders like this (the gems I’ve left myself over the years) that have kept me going.

I’m not going to quit. God’s brought me too far to stop now.

I pray you’re moving in the direction of your goals and dreams, even if you’re not moving fast. Remember, God’s timing is everything. Just keep moving! Things will happen right on time.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Nothing Or No One

Shaun Bradford
I love watching God work.

Nothing or no one can stop God’s amazing plan for your life. Please remember this—especially when everything seems to be falling apart or not happening in your favor. Know that God has not forgotten you. He’s forever working behind the scenes. Believe me, everything will happen when it’s time and better than you imagined. Trust Him… or, as Rev. Jesse Jackson would say, “Keep hope alive!” Y’all, he looked so good and well at the Democratic National Convention. When I tell you my heart is still overflowing this morning. Whew!

Listen, timing is everything! Keep hope ALIVE!♥️

You Can Wait

Shaun Bradford

If God tells you to “wait,” then wait. Don’t try to rush things along by interfering with what God is doing. Waiting means setting aside what you’re waiting for and focusing on something else—believe me, there are plenty of other things to focus on—without constantly checking or asking God if it’s time. Leave it alone. God will let you know when the wait is over. In the meantime, enjoy what you have right in front of you.

HA! That’s what I am saying now.

It wasn’t until Year50 that I released everything to God. As I have written before, I let my timeline go. For as far back as I can remember, I have had a timeline for something or have tried to help God along with things I felt He was moving to slowly with. To me, He never seemed to have the same sense of urgency as I did. I would often tell Him, “I’m not waiting 2-3 years.” Only to have the joke be on me because it would be 10, 20, or 30 years later before it happened. Yes, some things I have had to wait 30 years to see.

What I have learned is, God has us wait for a reason. Although it feels like we are being punished, it’s the exact opposite, we are actually being protected. Allow God to protect you (sometimes He’s protecting you from yourself because you’re not ready). As I mentioned before, while you wait, enjoy what’s in front of you. Take advantage of every opportunity and blessing you currently have. In due time the wait will be over, and guess what—you won’t even know how or when it happened. Smile

Praying you have a relaxing day and safe 4th of July. Love you!♥️

The answer to your question is, “Wait.”

Nothing else to add.
Be Blessed.♥️

Be patient.

Messages On Repeat: Be Still and Wait

Shaun Bradford

Last year, I shared these two messages/memories as a pair and have decided to do so again this year.

I don’t know about you but there are times when I become impatient and frustrated waiting on God. Just being honest. So, I end up ignoring His guidance and attempt to do things on my own. However, every time I’ve done so, it’s turned out to be a huge mistake. Moving on my own or prematurely has never resulted in what I thought it would. Honestly, it’s only caused delays in my progress.

Remember, God knows what He is doing and what lies ahead. If He advises us to be still and wait, we must do just that; no matter how uncomfortable it gets. I promise you—speaking from experiences of both not waiting and waiting—when it’s time to move, everything will work out in your favor and better than you imagined. So sit tight while God works. And, when He finally says move, you better move!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Your Time Is Coming

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, today was the first day in months that I didn’t wake up and go straight to my Facebook memories. Hadn’t even thought about them until now (it’s almost 9 AM). No, today was different. Today, I woke up thinking about my future, not my past. I didn’t even read past journal entries. Hmm… think I can get used to this. Anyhoo… I needed content for my second blog so of course I finally checked my memories. Here’s one from 2022. Smile.♥️ ~Shaun

God is working! You may not see it or feel it, but He is. So hang in there. Don’t give up hope. Your time is coming.

Be patient!

“Wait” — That’s The Message

Shaun Bradford

Was laying here about to write and schedule my first blog for today (it’s currently after midnight) when I came across this message in one of my journal entries. Could’ve sworn I was reading an entry from June 4, 2021. However, it happened to be from JANUARY 4, 2021. Anyhoo, maybe someone needs this message so I am sharing it now. Afterwards, I’m going to go read what I actually wrote on JUNE 4, 2021 and see if there’s anything I want to share before writing my post. Maybe this is a sign as well as a message for me that I need to go back to sleep and wait to write. Smile

Shaun’s Journal Entry: January 4, 2021

What do you do while you wait? I just heard, “wait.”

Wait.

That’s the answer.

Then, you keep waiting until God instructs you to move. Believe me, you will know when the time is right. You will know because everything will line up perfectly, unforced. You know, the kind of thing that just ends up happening and leaves you wondering how it happened.

Yes… that’s when you’ll know.

Until then, wait.

Good night!♥️
