Be Still And Have Faith

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸

“Be still and have faith” is how I ended last year’s journal entry (May 26, 2024). I was becoming antsy and impatient because life wasn’t moving at the pace I wanted. I felt like I needed to do something. I needed to make things happen on my own because God wasn’t moving fast enough for me. I had thought of so many things I could’ve been doing, yet I heard to “be still and have faith.” Looking back over the past year, I am so grateful I was obedient. Had I not been, I would have missed out on so many opportunities as well as the connections and relationships I’ve built. What God has done in one year was taking me years to build.

Here’s my takeaway, or what I’ve learned—

Whenever you want to take control because God doesn’t seem to be moving, or He’s moving much too slowly—BE STILL! I even wrote in that entry, “Shaun, sit on your hands if you must.” And I almost needed to. BUT GOD!

Be still and have faith that God is going to do what He said He would do PLUS more! No lie, He will blow your mind!

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. Today is Memorial Day here in the United States. Please remember those who sacrificed their lives for us to have the freedoms we still have today.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

GOD, You Are One Of One

When I shared this on other platforms, I added Marvin Sapp’s, “You Are God Alone.”

God, You are One of one. There is no other like You. Thank You for your love, your mercy, and your grace. Thank You for being YOU!

Let’s give God the praise and honor He’s due. He’s so good!🙏🏽

Sending blessings and love your way!♥️

Quietness Warranted

Shaun Bradford

This morning, I decided to sleep in and allow the rest of my day to flow as it pleased. After the past few weeks I’ve had, I needed it.

It’s been quiet.

I’ve needed the quietness.

I needed a moment to breathe.

I’m planning to move in the same manner this weekend.

No plans.

Just going with the flow.

Just being.

Update: I Need To Get This Out …

Shaun Bradford

Good Evening!✨

I wanted to share an update to this morning’s post, “I Need To Get This Out, Please Bear With Me.” In short, I’m feeling so much better. I decided to drive up for the funeral today instead of waiting until tomorrow. And I’m glad I did. As much as I wanted to be alone, I needed to be around family. I needed the love, laughs, and hugs. God is good.

Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers! I needed them. Wishing you a peaceful, relaxing evening.🙏🏽♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

God’s Patience

Shaun Bradford

I am so very grateful for God’s patience with me. This journey has been long, tedious, and exhausting. I can’t even begin to count the number of times I have wanted to give up—BUT GOD!

The Countdown

Shaun Bradford
ONLY speaking blessings over my life.🌸🌿

Good Morning☀️

The countdown to my 52nd birthday has officially begun. Yay!!!🎉 Although it’s two months away, I’m already excited like it’s happening next week or in a few days. For those who don’t know, I love celebrating my birthdays. No matter the age, I still feel like a little kid turning a year older. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do this year. However, whatever I decide to do will be wonderful because I will make it so.🥰 I’m thinking a floral theme this year—something light and summery.😊🌸

Yessss… Year52 is loading!!!🙌🏽🎉🤩

Wishing you a glorious day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Second Chances

Shaun Bradford

The song of the hour—or the day—because I have been singing it for a few hours now is “Second Chance” by Hezekiah Walker. The song says—

Show me
All of my wrongs
Forgive me
And make strong
Oh Save me
Restore my song 
For You’re the God of a second chance

You gave me
A second chance
You forgave me like only You can 
You gave me 
A second chance

Lyrics: LyricFind

Y’all, God is so good. I’m so thankful for second, third, fourth, and even 100 chances. Sometimes, He gives me more chances than I can count to get things right. I can’t express enough how grateful and blessed I am that He loves me.

By the way, nothing major is going on. It’s the little things He’s been working with me on that I don’t always get right. Most of the time, I don’t pay much attention to them until He says, “Look, you’re going to keep going through this cycle until you get this right.” Today, I had one of those moments. Sometimes, it’s not the things we consider significant that keep us from moving ahead. Often, it’s the small things we keep ignoring that are most important. We must remember that those small things are always connected to something greater.

I am forever grateful for God’s love, mercy, kindness, patience (boy, is He patient☺️), and grace. I am blessed.♥️
