Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy Sunday!

How are you doing?

I hope you’re well.🌸

Shared by Jay Shetty on Instagram on May 17, 2024 and reposted by me on May 18, 2024.

I don’t know about you, but I needed this reminder. When I reposted Jay’s post last year, I added, “Do not give up.”

Never give up on your vision or dreams.

I truly believe that whatever God-given vision or dreams we’re striving for will happen. All we have to do is hold on a little while longer. My life is proof (receipts from my journals) that breakthroughs do happen, and most of the time, they happen at what appears to be the last minute, or when we can’t take another disappointment or setback. However, I now realize they actually happen when we release control and completely turn things over to God. As the old infomercial used to say, “Set it and forget it.” Basically, place it in God’s hands and leave it alone. He has an appointed time for everything.

That’s all for now. I pray you have a peaceful, relaxing day.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Quietness Warranted

Shaun Bradford

This morning, I decided to sleep in and allow the rest of my day to flow as it pleased. After the past few weeks I’ve had, I needed it.

It’s been quiet.

I’ve needed the quietness.

I needed a moment to breathe.

I’m planning to move in the same manner this weekend.

No plans.

Just going with the flow.

Just being.

Greatness

Shaun Bradford

Hello!

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸

Greatness…

Greatness is in the eyes of the beholder—YOU. Whatever you consider to be great is what you usually strive for. And in order to get there, you must be greater than you were the day before. Be patient with yourself. It’s a process!♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

Believe In A Vibrant Life

The first thing I noticed about this image was its vibrancy. I believe this is how God wants us to live. He desires us to have a vibrant, fulfilling life. Anything less is beneath us.

Live your life to its fullest. May it shine just as bright as the colors in the image above.🧡💛

I love you always,

Shaun

Praise And Worship Break

Shaun Bradford

I tried to save this for my mid–morning post (between 10:00 and 10:30 AM), but I couldn’t hold it. Listen, God has been too good to me for me to hold back my praise. Y’all, He’s so good.

This morning, Fred Hammond’s song, “When You Praise,” has been playing over and over in my head. The song says—

When you praise, when you praise,
There should be a fire in your heart.
Hands up raised, when you praise,
Consuming every part because you know
The GOD we serve will make
His presence known, when you praise,
When you praise

God’s presence is here!

I’m so very thankful for His presence in my life. There is none like it. None like Him. Whew!

That’s all. Thought I’d share just in case you wanted to praise Him too. Don’t hold it in. Praise Him now!

Hallelujah!!

Love you!♥️

My Journey With God, No. 93

Shaun Bradford

I’m built to stand on my own ten. So, I’m good. –Shedeur Sanders

I saw a snippet of an interview with Shedeur Sanders expressing how all his drafted teammates were drafted in pairs or more and had each other to lean on, but he didn’t. He’s in it alone. The clip ended with his quote above—basically, he’s saying he’s built to hold his own.

When I tell you I felt what he said to my core! I’ve spent my entire life feeling like I have had to do things alone—to hold my own. Not because I wanted to, but because I was raised to feel like it was expected of me. When you are the oldest and in charge of everything and everyone younger than you, there is no one else to depend on. You are it! So, you learn to stand alone. I believe this is one of the reasons I have a difficult time expressing emotions like sadness, grief, and even pain. Expressing them makes me feel vulnerable and as if I can’t handle them on my own. BUT… I’m working on it. Little by little, I am beginning to open up and express those feelings, not only in writing but verbally. I am slowly realizing and accepting that it’s okay to let others know when I am not feeling strong. I don’t have to hold my own if I don’t have to.

Y’all, I am so grateful that God continues to reveal areas where I still need healing and pruning. I look forward to meeting the woman I will be a year from now and even ten years from now. (Just another nugget of encouragement I’m leaving myself. Girl, you’re growing!☺️.)

God, thank You for loving me.♥️
