My Inspiration, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

President Jimmy Carter’s funeral was earlier today. I watched most of it live and snippets of what I missed. It was so beautiful. They honored him well.

A few days ago, I left a message in his virtual condolence book. I wrote about how he’d been my inspiration since elementary school and how I plan to continue his legacy of making this world a kinder and better place for everyone. Maybe one day I’ll share what I wrote.

Below is a video of his grandson Jason’s eulogy. It basically summed up how I saw and felt about President Carter. He was the epitome of love, hope, and overall goodness. He will so be missed.🙏🏽♥️🕊️

James Earl Carter, Jr. was God’s child.♥️

Funny Memory

Shaun Bradford

When I tell you my kids, especially my son, know me so well. A few days ago, my daughter was watching the Luther Vandross documentary (if you haven’t seen it yet, you need too, it’s so good!) and was texting me every few minutes because she was so in awe of his talent. I just laughed because I thought she knew. I thought everyone knew how talented and gifted he was. Lol. Anyhoo… seeing this memory makes me smile. Luther Vandross was the man! And whenever I get in a funk, I usually listen to a Luther of JG (Johnny Gill) song.🥰

Yeah… funny memory.

Right now “Never Too Much” is playing in my head; however, it’s not my favorite Luther song.

Keep The Prayers Going

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

I hope this post finds you safe and well. The past few days have been devastating for so many. They’ve lost their homes and all of their possessions to fires in California. And the fires are continuing to spread. Let’s keep them in our prayers.🙏🏽

Also, snowstorms and freezing temperatures are headed towards the South and East Coast. Let’s pray they pass through swiftly and aren’t as severe as predicted.

Lord, please keep us all safe. Amen

Let God Be Your Strength

Shaun Bradford

Singing Marvin Sapp’s, “He Has His Hands On You.”

The song says (Lyrics by LyricFind)—

Sometimes you feel so alone
Like a child lost with no home
They keep telling you to be strong
But you say, when will it end, when will I win?
But just know He has His hands on you

Earlier today, I shared this quote in one of my Facebook groups:

@robdanceofficial on Instagram

I added the following caption—

“Y’all, it’s time for us to be happy. We’ve already proven a thousand times over that we’re strong. Now, it’s happiness here on out.”

And it is. We’re in God’s hands. There’s no need for us to be strong when He is our strength. It’s time for us to be happy.

Whatever you’re holding on to, give it to God. Give it to God and rest in Him. He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
