Ask… Then Believe

Shaun Bradford

Last year’s journal entry began with this quote–

Crazy faith flourishes in the atmosphere of belief. – Pastor Mike Todd

Shaun’s Journal Entry, June 13, 2022

I ended the entry with a screenshot of a post I had shared earlier that year. I won’t share the screenshot, but I will share the message that was attached to it.

Ask, then believe.

Listen, ask for what you desire, then believe it will happen.♥️

Crazy faith!!

Just Believe

Shaun Bradford

“Just believe!” We say it all the time in passing. However, most of us never put too much thought into it, we just say it. As we all know, the action of believing is much more than a thought.

Question – How strong is your belief system?

Keep your belief system(s) strong!

According to last year’s journal entry (June 10, 2022), I was watching Bishop T. D. Jakes sermon, “Hurdles to Wholeness.” Think I need to rewatch it.

In his message, he spoke of faulty belief systems and how we will only rise to the levels of our beliefs. Hmmm

Here are a few more questions–

Do you believe in what you are believing for?

Or

Are you all talk and either, do not really want it… or… you do not believe you will receive it?

According to Bishop Jakes, however you respond to those questions will dictate where you go in life.

I guess you can say my Saturday has started off DEEP! Whew!! Wasn’t expecting an assignment for this morning. Time for me to reevaluate my belief system(s)–thought I was good–and make some necessary changes. Y’all, I am really serious about not taking baggage into the next half of my life, and part of that baggage is a faulty belief system. Either I want what I say I want or not!

On another note…

Two more weeks until Year 50 is here! Don’t have anything planned, but I am still excited. I actually feel like I’m getting ready to cross over into a new space in life. I used to believe I needed to bring in 50 by doing something huge. Something I could take pictures of and say, “I did that!” Now, it’s all about the big show that’s happening on the inside. I’m excited about where God is taking me spiritually, mentally and emotionally. Once those are in check, everything else will follow. Yeah… I’m excited!

Thank for reading! Praying you have a wonderful weekend.♥️

In God’s Hands

Shaun Bradford

Resist the urge to take the reins from God. Whatever it is… and I mean whatever it is… leave it in God’s hands. Allow Him to lead you through the process.♥️

Oh what a difference it makes when we release control and allow God to lead!

Y’all, I am so grateful my flowers were not lost. Tearing up again. I am very proud of the finished product. Stick around because the best is yet to come. Blessed

Every Praise

Shaun Bradford

How about I have been singing Hezekiah Walker’s Every Praise for about the last hour or so. Little did I know I would actually need to send up a few praises for real. Laughing. Y’all… I just lost the artwork that was supposed to accompany today’s quote. Yep… it’s gone!

I had started working on it last night. Fell asleep in the middle of drawing one of the flowers, then woke up early this morning to finish them. When I tell you the flowers were so beautifully detailed… I actually felt like an artist. Well, just as I began working on the tree branches the app restarted. Although it auto saves, sometimes it doesn’t save everything. HA!! When I reopened the app the ONLY thing that was left were the branches. My beautiful flowers were gone. Talk about speechless.

Message–Every praise, every praise is to our God! In spite of what I lost, I will continue to praise God. Amen

We’ll just say I am fine tuning my craft. The extra work will be worth it.

Y’all have a blessed day!♥️

Shaun
