Life Is Interesting

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Today, I came across a quote by James Baldwin in my Facebook memories that made me think of a question I often ask myself– “How did I end up here?” Meaning, how did I end up in this space in time? Well, as James Baldwin’s quote suggests, all it takes is a millimeter of a shift, and our lives can change forever.

Although the James Baldwin quote refers to changes in the world, I can easily relate it to the personal changes that have happened to me over time. It only took one event, one experience, or one encounter for something inside me to shift. I can see it, now. I was no longer the person I was moments before that event occurred.

Y’all, life is interesting…

Side note: Just heard this, be careful of the spaces you enter and who you allow in your space. Some events and experiences are intentionally designed to alter your thoughts and behaviors. Whew!

Listen, we must stay prayed up and take God with us everywhere we go. Discernment and God’s covering are so necessary. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right—period, and we have to stop trying to make it feel right. There’s a distinct difference between fear or uncertainty about the unknown and feelings of unease. Uneasiness isn’t a good sign. RUN!!!

Okay… I had no idea this quote would lead me in this direction; however, here we are. Smile.

I believe I will end here. Thanks for reading. I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You’re Already Prepared & Equipped

Shaun Bradford
Grateful🙏🏽

I shared the message above weeks after taking my second major leap (April 2021). My first leap was joining the Air Force—both decisions were spontaneous and life-changing. Before the second leap, God assured me that I was covered and had everything I needed to create the life I desired. It took me a minute to grasp that I really had everything I needed. Well, today, I realize that I do.

Listen, don’t wait to start! You are already equipped and prepared to begin creating the life you desire, now!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

The Ride Goes On

Good Morning!☀️

Saw the following post on my Facebook feed this morning and decided to share.

This thing called life is very interesting and so unpredictable. There’s always something going on or some emotion we’re experiencing. We’re never just here. Even while meditating or sleeping, something is still happening. So, since we’re still alive, let’s make the most of this ride.♥️

Love you,

My Journey With God, No. 21

Shaun Bradford
Originally shared on November 19, 2022.

Several years ago, I asked.

Today, God is filling in the details.

Forever grateful for His love and guidance. Y’all, I am forever in awe of Him.

Also, I must give myself some credit. I am really proud of myself for being obedient and following through. For taking leaps into the unknown. For fully trusting God. Honestly, I’m a bit amazed at myself. I did it. I’m doing it!

Yes, I asked. Now, God’s doing the rest.

Beyond Blessed♥️

Shhh…

I had to laugh when this thought came to mind because I do tend to over share. However, I don’t share everything. Laughing

Here’s what I learned while growing up, a lesson that was reinforced while I was in the military. We make our best moves when we’re silent. Silence and strategy matters. Now, this doesn’t mean I got something cooking.😏😄 I’m just saying everything doesn’t need to be shared.

On a serious note, though—which is something I learned from being too open—not every friendly person is your friend, and not everyone interested in what you’re doing has your best interests at heart. So it’s best to keep some things to yourself. Especially, the things that are dear and close to your heart.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Discernment matters. Be sure to listen to that still small voice.

To Receive Or Not To Receive… It’s God’s Call

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Yesterday, I came to the conclusion that although I ask and believe, not everything is meant to be received or received when asked. It’s either not the right time or simply not meant to happen. That was my thought yesterday.

My confirmation…

This morning, my Facebook memories were filled with posts about a time when I asked for something, and the following week, I received what I had asked for. Happened just that quick! And this wasn’t anything small. This one was pretty big. Honestly, I am still in awe of how it just happened. It was like God handed me my request on a platter. And the most beautiful part is that I knew He did it for me because of how things happened. Y’all, He’s so smooth. Smiling

Today’s memory only confirms my conclusion from yesterday—it is either about timing or not meant to happen. I accept both. Whatever happens will happen, and whatever doesn’t won’t. Either way, I am at peace. I have seen God work before, so I honor His decisions.

Y’all, I’m so thankful for God’s love. He’s so amazing. I am beyond blessed.🥰

I pray you have a wonderful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
