Obedience Matters

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Yesterday, I wrote, “God has spoken. He has already advised you on what needs to be done, next. Now it’s up to you to respond accordingly.”

Well, a portion of that message was taken from a caption I had shared the year before (October 29, 2023). Let’s just say I created a better graphic and repurposed the caption. Smile. Although I made it a bit cuter, the message was still the same, and it was actually for me. Yep! That message was for me.

You see, a few weeks ago, I received very specific instructions from God about something I needed to do. I followed through, but only to a certain extent. What I failed to do was follow through with confidence. So, afterwards, I was easily persuaded to modify what I was told to fit someone else’s plan. Well, almost daily, I kept hearing I needed to be obedient and do what I was told.

Fast forward to yesterday—after coming across my Facebook memory about already hearing what God had said and needing to respond accordingly, I did just that. I did what I was originally advised to do, and when I did, the person responded that God had already given them that same message. Hmmm…

Listen, be obedient. You don’t have to know why you’re being asked to do something, just do it. Just be obedient.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Wishing you peace and blessings. Remember to always put God first and trust His guidance, even when you can’t see where He’s taking you. Just trust and believe it’s somewhere greater and better than you’ve ever imagined.♥️

Be You

Shaun Bradford

You were never created to fit in. Don’t tone down your presence to make others more comfortable. No… Stand in your fullest glory and be YOU!♥️

Love you,

A New Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Today is a new day! In other words, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to do something different. To want something different. To expect something different.

Soooo…

What will you do differently?

What do you want to be different?

What are you expecting to be different?

Just a few questions to ponder. Smile

I pray you have an amazing week that’s different and more wonderful than you expected.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“Never doubt that you are loved. YOU are so very loved.”

That’s the quote I shared on this date a year ago. Y’all, it feels so wonderful to be loved, and to be loved unconditionally.

Yesterday, I got to spend the day with my two hearts. Now that they’re grown and doing their own thing, it’s been a while—maybe since last Christmas—that we’ve spent more than an hour or two together. My son is usually working on the weekends, and my daughter no longer lives in Mississippi.

Well, yesterday, we were together almost the entire day. We sang, danced, laughed, and talked about nothingness (nothing too deep this time). It was just an overall wonderful day. One that I needed so badly. Then, last night they treated me to dinner at our favorite restaurant.

Yes, it feels absolutely wonderful to be loved.🥰

My ♥️♥️s.
Orleans snow crab claws.
Our meals. I’m so glad they don’t mind me taking pictures of my food. Well, my daughter doesn’t. My son…🤷🏽‍♀️☺️

I pray you had a lovely weekend, and may today be even more beautiful. If no one’s told you in a while—like, since I told you yesterday☺️—you are loved.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Your Purpose Is Too Great To Settle

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Here’s my first message for today—

Your purpose is much too great for you to settle for what is, or where you are. As I said last year, “You’ve got purposes to fulfill and lives to touch. Get moving!”

Shared on October 19, 2023.

Yes, get moving and keep showing up. Someone somewhere is counting on you to continue walking in your purpose so that they can walk in theirs.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Don’t Lose Yourself

Shaun Bradford
Shared as a Facebook story on October 17, 2021.

I know how it feels to lose yourself trying to hold on to others. Been there many times. And I’m not only talking about losing myself in love relationships. Of course, those are the ones most people noticeably lose themselves in. However, friendships, work relationships, and family relationships are others.

Check your relationships, all of them, and make sure you’re showing up fully as YOU, and not who others want you to be. You are too important to lose yourself to anyone other than yourself and God.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God First

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Originally shared on October 10, 2022.

The year before I shared the graphic above, I wrote the following caption for another post.

October 10, 2021

“This post is so true. What I’ve learned in the short time that I’ve been working for myself is to keep going. Keep trying new things. Keep networking. Keep learning. Keep taking leaps. And most importantly – KEEP GOD FIRST! Y’all, the ways He’s shown up is mind blowing. Tearing up as I think about it. He’s so good. Yes, definitely keep Him first!”

Keeping God first has been the only way I’ve managed to make it through the tough times (it can get pretty tough) and the good times (remaining humble). Y’all, His guidance is impeccable! You don’t want to move without it. However, it does require unwavering trust and obedience. Don’t worry, He’ll give you assignments along the way to build and strengthen both. Smile

Today, my advice is still the same. First, and most importantly, always keep God first! Y’all, He must remain first. Then, continue learning, creating, networking, and leaping. Eventually, everything will fall into place.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
