Don’t wait until tomorrow to do what you’ve been longing to do. Do it today!

The song of the morning is Norman Hutchins’ “God’s Got A Blessing (with My Name on It).

Listen, God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it. Hang in there!🌺

Your Wings Are Ready

Happy Friday!☀️

I was just about to share another post from this day several years ago, when this one from last year caught my eye— “Your wings are ready.”

Hey YOU!

Yes… YOU!!

Your wings are ready! Don’t just prepare to fly, prepare to SOAR!

Bet you didn’t know butterflies could become eagles, did you? God is good like that. Smile

This is all for now. Have a wonderfully, blessed day and beautiful weekend!♥️

I Didn’t Know My Own Strength

Shaun Bradford

This morning I woke up with Whitney Houston’s I Didn’t Know My Own Strength playing over and over in my head. Truthfully, how I have made it thus far is a blur. As I look back over my adulthood, I’m amazed at how many challenges I encountered and actually overcame.

Wednesday Writings

Happy Tuesday!☀️

I pray you’re doing well.

Just finished reading the post that’s quoted and linked above. It’s a post I shared on this day five years ago (October 13, 2021). Smiling through tears (happy tears) because I made it through some really tough times. When I tell y’all I am so very blessed. If you need a little inspiration, click the Wednesday Writings link in the quote above. Listen, life does get better.

Yes, life does get better. I refuse to believe otherwise.

Five years ago, I was listening to Whitney Houston’s, “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.” The song says—

I didn’t know my own strength
And I crashed down, and I tumbled
But I did not crumble
I got through all the pain
I didn’t know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
I didn’t know my own strength

“I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” by Whitney Houston

Y’all, sometimes I didn’t know if I’d make it. But I’m here!

Yes, I am here!

And so are YOU!

This is all I have for now. I pray you have a fabulous day! May it be filled with lots of love, joy, and happiness.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It All Works Out

Shaun Bradford

Happy Monday!☀️

“No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.” –Maya Angelou

Be Encouraged

I just realized I hadn’t spoken yet! I hope you’re doing well. Me, I’m just sitting here laughing at life. Sometimes all you can do is laugh.

Storytime…

A short while ago, I went to take out the trash. Usually, I’m careful when I move the trash can outside because I’ve seen lizards lurking underneath. Well, since I hadn’t seen any in a while, I didn’t hesitate to move it. Big mistake! Or more like BIG SNAKE! A long green snake came from underneath the can. It didn’t run. Instead, it raised its head and looked at me, and I looked at it. I told it that it could have the trash can. Then, I slowly backed away, let the garage door down, and came inside. By the time my son went to pull the trash can to the curb, the snake was gone.

Y’all, life is like that snake. Sometimes things will catch you off guard. However, I’m finding that the way you respond makes all of the difference. Had I started jumping and running, I’m pretty sure it would’ve reacted similarly. The key is to remain calm. Ask yourself if it’s a threat. If not, keep pushing. If it is, remove it or yourself from the situation.

Election Day is right around the corner, and things are becoming increasingly tense. Be careful and be mindful of your surroundings and who’s in your presence.

As life happens, keep this in mind—it all works out in the end.

This is all I have at the moment. Praying you have a wonderful day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Praise God In Advance

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Praise Him In Advance.” I guess it’s the song of the week. Smile. The song says—

That’s why I praise Him with my hands. That’s why I praise Him with a dance. He’s given me a second chance. Come on, let’s praise Him in advance.

This morning I’m thanking God for a hundred second chances. Yes, a hundred—plus some. There are some things God has been working with me on for years and now I’m finally getting around to doing them. He’s given me so many chances to get things right.

Honestly, I believe I needed all of those chances because each time I didn’t follow through with whatever I was supposed to do, I learned something new about myself. I also gained more knowledge about what was asked of me, and God gave me room (grace) to improve. I am so loving this over 50 version of Shaun/LaShaundrea.🥰

Listen, no matter how many times you have to start over, know that every restart is an expression of God’s grace allowing you the opportunity to do better and become a better version of YOU.

I pray you have a lovely day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

It’s A GOD Thing

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!

This message seems to be etched in my mind this morning—It’s a GOD thing.

Yep!

That’s the message.

It’s above your pay grade, so give it back to GOD. Give it ALL to Him.♥️

I love you,

Not on God’s Watch!

Shaun Bradford

You Will Not Fail.

Not on God’s watch!

Originally shared on Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Stay covered.

God’s got you.

The question is…

Do you have yourself?

Listen, trust yourself to do what God already knows you’re capable of doing. He wouldn’t have given you the desire to do the thing if He thought you’d fail.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Never Let Your Dreams Die

Shaun Bradford

I have been singing “Trust in God” by Elevation Worship since I woke up this morning. The song says—

I trust in God, my Savior
The one who will never fail
He will never fail
I trust in God, my Savior
The one who will never fail
He will never fail

As long as you’re alive, never ever give up on your dreams. Keep pursuing them because so many never got the chance to do so before they died.

But YOU—you’re still here!

You’ve been blessed with another opportunity to see your dreams come true. Keep going as if you will see them happen tomorrow. If you can’t quite figure out where to begin, ask God for guidance and trust Him to lead the way.

Your Dreams are Too Important to let die.” Shaun’s Daily Inspiration

Never let your dreams die.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**Please keep the parents, family, and friends of Nolan Wells in your thoughts and prayers.🙏🏽
