Joy and Gratitude

Shaun Bradford

I’m beginning my day with joy and gratitude as I do every morning. Over the years, I’ve learned that Joy Grows with Gratitude. The more grateful I am, the more joyous I am.

God, thank You for waking me up this morning. For the rhythm of my heartbeat. For the ability to see, hear, breathe, walk, and think. These are things I often overlook because they happen so naturally. But I want You to know they’re not things I take for granted. I’m grateful to be here. Amen

What are you grateful for today?

Remember to start every morning with gratitude, and watch how your joy grows.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday (281)

Shaun Bradford

Today’s the seventh day of June, a day of rest. Be sure to rest today. Your mind, body, spirit, and soul will thank you.

Genesis 2:2-3
2. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

3. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Yes, today—Rest!

Before I go, I’d like to leave you with a little Sunday Morning Inspiration:

Keep God at the center of your life. Doing so is life changing.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Quietly Seated with God

Shaun Bradford

For a little over a month now, I have been quietly seated In God’s Presence. If you’ve ever stepped away from your daily routines to sit with God, then you know “sitting” with God is not a passive act. It’s very active.

First, God shows you your life. He shows you your past, where you are now, and all of your beautiful blessings. Next, He shows you your future—where He plans to take you. Then, He lovingly tells you that you’ll never fully hold all that He has planned if you don’t surrender your plans for His. Afterwards, He gently begins to guide and mentor you through the steps of becoming the person He knows you can be. The one He’s shown you.

So, you sit quietly in God’s presence. You take in His wisdom, love, and grace. You block the outside noises. And you move as He moves.

You become aligned with God.

Being seated in God’s presence is a life changing experience. If you want to fully experience God’s love and peace, I encourage you to become quiet and sit with Him. I have to warn you though, you may not like or agree with everything He reveals at first. However, I challenge you to remain seated and quiet. That’s when the true experience happens. It’s when God reveals His love for you as His child and how He sees you. You’re Royalty!

Become quiet and sit with God. I promise you, you will not regret the experience.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

God’s Covering

Shaun Bradford
April 28, 2023

Today, I’m acknowledging and honoring God’s covering over my life. As I reflect on my many years on this lovely planet called Earth, I see how His covering shielded me from harm. Y’all, His protection was and is still unmatched.

Listen, stay covered. Never leave God’s covering for any reason. Nothing is worth being without it.♥️

I love you,

When You Don’t Quite Fit In

Shaun Bradford
January 2, 2025

When you don’t quite fit in—

Do you shrink?

Do you hide?

Do you change who you are to fit in?

Being different takes courage—often more courage than many of us are willing to muster.

God made each one of us different for a reason. We are like pieces of a puzzle; we weren’t designed to fit someone else’s space. Embrace being different so that you can fulfill your God-given purpose as well as see your dreams come to fruition. The world needs you to show up as you. You need you to show up as YOU!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 126

Shaun Bradford

Lying here thinking about how truly blessed I am. I know I mention it in almost every post. But I can’t help it. Y’all, I am blessed!

I may not have much materially or financially; however, the love, peace, and joy I have are priceless. Now, I’m not saying I don’t desire certain material things or financial wealth—I mean, who doesn’t—but it’s truly the simplest of things that make my life feel GRAND. It’s the hugs, smiles, love, laughter, conversations, and great memories that fill my heart and leave me feeling like I’m on cloud nine.

GOD, THANK YOU for blessing me!♥️

Forever grateful,

Shaun

Don’t Wait! You’re Already There

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️ and Happy Self Love Saturday!🥰

Here’s a Self Love Saturday video I made for TikTok a couple of years ago. I said I could feel myself living in my dreams.

Although we speak as if our dreams are destinations, I believe they’re ongoing stories. It’s our mindset—and let’s be real, our circumstances, too—that tells us our dreams are far off. However, it’s not the dream that we’re waiting for, but the part of the dream we envisioned.

As I said in the video, “I’m already there. I don’t have to wait.” Smiling as I think about how I started doing things I envisioned myself doing when I reached the dream. I stopped waiting for the dream to happen and started living it. Eventually, I’ll see what I envisioned—in God’s time.☺️

Listen, the dream is happening. It’s happening every day from the moment you open your eyes to the time you fall asleep. You are living in your dream(s). You just haven’t reached the part you envisioned.

I dare you to start living like you’re already there. Believe me, you’ll be amazed by how your life changes!

This is it for now. I pray you have a beautiful day! Remember to do something extra special for yourself.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 112

Shaun Bradford

Sitting here thinking about how good God is. Y’all, He’s so good. Even on my worst day (not today—today’s been a good day☺️) He’s still good.

Whenever I want to quit, He nudges me to keep going.

Whenever the tears won’t stop flowing, He comforts me.

When chaos surrounds me, He gives me peace.

There’s absolutely none like my God.

Feeling grateful and blessed.🥰

Lord, thank You for loving me.♥️
