Life…

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Setbacks.

Plot twists.

Storms.

Life lifeing.

Exhale… Yes, let it all out.

Below is a reblog of my “Wednesday Writings” written on October 26, 2022. Honestly, I am not quite sure what storm or plot twist, as I called it, I was going through. However, I do know I survived it.

Y’all, by the grace of God I am still here and still standing after the countless storms I have been through. I’m so glad God never left me, and that He gave me the strength to endure the pain of whatever I was going through in those seasons.

I pray that whatever setback, storm, plot twist, or life experience you may be currently going through ends soon, very soon, so you’re able to smile, rejoice, and enjoy the goodness of life. Listen, don’t allow your current situation to make you give up hope or change your outlook on life. Where you are today is not where you will stay. You deserve a beautiful, stress-free, pain-free, storm-free life, and you will have one.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 1

Shaun Bradford

This time I waited to post!

I had another message scheduled to post just in case I didn’t hear to share a different message at my scheduled posting time. I always try to wait before sharing because I often hear to share a specific message right before it’s time for me to post. Smile. The majority of my messages aren’t just random; they’re God-given. Well, I now realize I don’t have to choose between messages unless I hear not to post the one that I’ve scheduled. I can actually share both.

Today, I’m giving myself permission to share more than one message during my scheduled timeframes. I don’t have to wait and share them hours apart. For some reason, I really dislike sharing back-to-back posts. It’s definitely a barrier I need to overcome.

Anyhoo…

Some people would rather do a video or make a social media post; I’d rather blog.

**For Transparency: I later updated this first section to include more details. My initial post was very vague. When I write, I often assume the reader has already read my previous post before moving on to the next—somewhat like reading a continuous story. Will do better in the future.😘 – Shaun (10.24.2025)

The song of the moment is “Restoration” by The Winans. No lie, I heard it minutes before my other post was scheduled to publish (going to publish both).

The song says—

“Restoration has finally come. Been restored back to my place in God.”

Y’all, I am so grateful for God’s love, mercy, patience, and grace.

The song ends with—

“I’m restored. I’m glad about it. I’ve been renewed. And I’m glad about it.”

Be You, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday I wrote—

“Be You. You were never created to fit in. Stand in your fullest glory and be YOU!”

Sometimes I struggle between showing up fully as the passionate, loving person who believes there’s good in everybody and wants to save the world, and suppressing myself so much that I don’t show up at all. When I turned 50, I made a promise to myself, and to that five year old little girl who used to get in trouble for being overly expressive, that I would show up fully! Y’all, it’s taken me a while to get to here, and now that I’m here, I’m not going back.♥️

My Journey With God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“My Journey With God” is the title I have decided on for one of my extra posts for the day. I may or may not post one daily, but when I do, it will be authentic, not forced.

Trust.

Trust God.

Trust His plan.

That’s the message! Have a wonderfully blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Did I Proclaim To Be God’s Vessel?

Shaun Bradford

Today I second guessed myself. Something I am not proud of because I know what I heard God say to do. Don’t worry, I’m not going to speak in code. I’m going to tell you exactly what happened.

You know how I said I was going to start sharing an afternoon post, and that post would probably be a Facebook memory? Well, that’s what I did. I shared a Facebook post. The thing is, all while I was writing, I kept hearing to wait. But I wanted to get something out around the same time I had posted the days before, and since that memory was there, that’s what I shared. Y’all, not even 30 minutes later, I kept hearing Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.” That’s when I heard to share it. Well, I was hesitant to share it because I had made the post already. What would I look like posting back to back?

Ha! As you can see, I went on and shared what I heard about speaking life into yourself as well as those around you. Then, I searched my photos for an image because I knew I had shared a similar message before. Once it was shared, and on all of my platforms, I felt a little disappointed because I thought I was doing so well with being obedient. A little while later, I received a message from someone telling me they needed what I had shared. I needed that confirmation. I needed to know I was on the right path.

Y’all, God is doing something different in me. I can feel it. When I decided I was going to allow Him to use me as He saw fit, I had no idea what I was saying. I’m not backing out, but… Whew!

As I’ve been saying this week, I’ll keep you posted on how things are going. Let’s just call this “My Journey with God In Real Time.” I might shorten it. Hmmm… Maybe that will be the title of this series of posts. We shall see!

As always, thanks for allowing me to share. Love you!♥️
