Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Wise words from last year… and I wrote them. Smile

Facebook Memory: April 28, 2022

Set yourself free! Release past hurts, guilt, disappointments and shame. Harboring even the smallest resentment can make it difficult to receive and enjoy blessings. Release opens doors for receiving love, joy, opportunities, and success. Let go and be free!

It’s true, if you want your life to change for the better, you have to let things go. Holding on to past hurts, grudges, disappointments, and even shame, only hurts you. It also stops you from fully growing and receiving all of God’s wonderful blessings. Listen, I don’t know about you, but I don’t only want some of my blessings. No… l want all of my blessings. Every last single one. Smile. Let it go!

On another note— My daughter came home yesterday for her friends’ wedding and is leaving this afternoon. So, I am going to spend as much time as I can loving on her before she leaves. Smiling

Praying you have a wonderful Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Following God’s Lead

Shaun Bradford

In last year’s blog post I wrote— “You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.”

Listen, God is the Master of plot twists. For years, you can think your life is headed in one direction only to have it shift in another. I have finally learned to stop trying to guess where He’s taking me—which I now realize was a form of control on my end—and just allow Him to move as He sees fit. All I do now is say, “I see You, God,” and keep on moving. I know He has me in His hands; and wherever He’s taking me is somewhere wonderfully beautiful because He loves me and I trust Him.

My advice. Trust God to lead. Release control and let Him take you wherever He’s taking you—because He’s going to do it anyway. Smile. Resisting only causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. As they say, “Let go and let God.” He knows what’s best and He’s got you! Love you!♥️

Shaun

Trust Him.

Drown Out The Noise

Shaun Bradford

As Smokie Norful says, drown out the noise—because sometimes it is a bit loud—so you can hear God’s voice. Then, focus on what’s most important to you. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

Friendly Reminder: Just Start

Shaun Bradford

You don’t have to wait. You already have everything you could possibly need at this moment. It doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. Just start where you are, and God will gently guide you through the rest. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

I’m rooting for you!

Don’t You Dare Give Up

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: April 25, 2023

Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️

Trust God!

Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.

Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Year 50: Month 10

Shaun Bradford

Around this time last year, I was trying to spend as much time as I could with my mom. We knew, and she knew, she wasn’t going to be around much longer.

I miss her…

Two more months left in this jubilee year! God is good. Thankful for peace and contentment. Thankful for life. I believe I will celebrate this day by doing something my mom would have liked, or eating one of her favorite dishes. Yeah… that’s what I will do. This one is for you, Dorothy Ree. I love you.♥️

Her firstborn. Almost 50 years together. My momma.💗

God Has Smiled On Me

Shaun Bradford
God’s been good to me.

Singing–

God has smiled on me
He has set me free
Oh, God has smiled on me
He’s been good to me

There’s nothing like being smiled on by God. It’s called being blessed.

Grateful…

Praying you have a blessed day!♥️

When It’s Time

Shaun Bradford

“When it’s time,” was the only thing I wrote in my journal entry on this date a year ago (April 21, 2023). Nothing else. Not sure why I wrote it. There was no other context. Maybe God knew I would share it today and someone would need to hear it. Not sure, but it’s here. Be Blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Added “everything happens” to give it a little more context. However, the original message was and is, “When it’s time.”
