God’s Timing, gratitude

August 14, 2014

Shaun Bradford

Happy Friday!☀️

Reading past journal entries from this date and came across this entry—

An excerpt from August 14, 2014:

“I believe my purpose in life is to get my people from point A to point B. My job is to encourage the young to reach for the stars. They may have so many odds stacked against them, but the sky is the limit. They really need to know that if they dream it they really can achieve it and more. Some may ask why are you not where your dreams take you. My response is, I’m not sure. Bad decisions. Distractions. Maybe this is where God intended for me to be at the moment. But I do know there is so much more left for me to do. I do not desire to lead or be in the spotlight, but whatever God has planned for me I will do. I will do what I must to make sure my people excel!”

Whew!! These past 12 years have seemed like a very long journey. A journey I did not know I would take. But God did. He knew, and He equipped and guided me every step of the way to get to where I am today.

This particular part of the entry has me in tears this morning—

“Some may ask why are you not where your dreams take you. My response is, I’m not sure. Bad decisions. Distractions. Maybe this is where God intended for me to be at the moment. But I do know there is so much more left for me to do.”

My answer today is—I am where I need to be at this moment in time. I’m fulfilling God’s purpose for my life. Bad decisions didn’t stop me. Distractions didn’t stop me. They’re part of my story—part of my journey to becoming who God’s created me to be. I am so grateful and blessed to have experienced such a wonderful 12 years. I am where my dreams have taken me. I’m sitting right in them.

Y’all, God is so good! I absolutely love my life.🥰

This is all for now. Have a wonderful day and weekend. Be sure to treat yourself with love and kindness, and give yourself grace.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Singing, “I Trust In God”

Shaun Bradford

If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say?

If my future self could send myself one sentence—ONLY one—I would say…

Baby! Trust God!

This morning, I’m singing “Trust In God” by Elevation Worship. Listen, today’s Daily Prompt has me praising God!

Y’all, God is sooooo good! So good! Clink the link above if you’re interested in reading what I wrote. I’m running this morning. Not physically running. Smile. I just have a lot to do in a short period of time.

Here’s what I’m hearing and feeling this morning.

No matter how many times you have to restart—RESTART!

If God put a dream in your heart, keep striving for it.

You’re here.

You’re alive.

Which means your dreams are still possible.

Listen… Try again!♥️

I love you,

Happy Thursday!☀️

Today’s song of the day is “Blessings” by Theresa Phondo. The song says—

Blessings on blessings on me
Blessings on blessings on me
Everywhere I go they’ll be
Everywhere I go they’ll be
Blessings on blessings on me

Blessings surround us both, and even more awaits us. Be sure to stay present. You don’t want to miss the blessings that are coming your way.♥️

Face The Sunshine

Shaun Bradford

Sunshine peeking through the clouds is confirmation that everything will be okay. Trust God.

Sunshine On Cloudy Days

Yes… sunshine is confirmation that everything will be alright. Storms don’t last forever.☀️

This morning I have two songs competing for attention. First, the lyrics from one song start playing. Then, the second song picks up before the first line of the other song even finishes. So, here’s what I’m hearing—

“Struttin’ on sunshine… my life, my life, my life in the sunshine. If you looked at my life and see what I’ve seen.”

Y’all, I truly love my life. As you can see, it doesn’t take much to amuse me.😊

Here are both songs—

Struttin’ On Sunshine by Ruby Amanfu

My Life by Mary J. Blige

Listen, keep your head up and keep your face towards the sun. Everything will be just fine.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Believe Me, He’s Real

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

This morning I woke up singing Kirk Franklin’s “Let Me Touch You.” The song says—

Sometimes to me You seem so far away, and I wonder how to make it through the day. But if I can touch the hem of Your garment, Your power, I know, You can heal. Jesus let me touch You and see if You are real.

Let Me Touch You by Kirk Franklin

Listen, Jesus [God] is so very real, and He’s always near. When you don’t feel Him, just call His name. Never hesitate to call Him.

As you can see, my day has started off with worship. I pray that you’ve experienced God’s goodness as I have. No, life hasn’t been all roses. Sometimes it’s been very hard, so hard that at times I didn’t know if I would make it. But God never left my side. Y’all, I’m so blessed—so very blessed.

This is all for now. Wishing you a wonderful day! May you experience God’s goodness in real time. Yeah… I want you to feel it!♥️

I love you,

Shaun
