Good Night (27)

Shaun Bradford

Tonight, I’ve decided to do something different—I’m going to bed earlier. My goal is to get more sleep. I’m aiming for at least five uninterrupted hours. My plan is to log off all social media by 10 pm and be asleep by 11 pm. My goal is do this at least three days a week. I’ll keep y’all posted on how it goes. This means I might need to rethink my posting times or post my Facebook memories later in the day. With this being said, I’m also considering posting more. Yayyyy! I kind of like the idea of sharing a mid-day post, and it does give me a break. So those worship sessions weren’t for nothing. I guess they were preparing me to do a little more. Smile.

I also posted another TikTok video this morning. This one was very short, less than 15 seconds. It was of butterflies flying around so carefree. I added the caption, “God’s got you.” Will share it below.

Anyhoo… I’m about to start shutting things down. Going to scroll down my timelines one last time, then log off. I pray you had a wonderful day and wishing you a peaceful night.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God’s got you!

Another Worship Session

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I don’t know what God is doing, or what’s happening, but something is taking place. My spirit and soul feels it. Unlike other times when this has happened, I don’t feel anxious or nervous, as if something bad is happening. I actually feel at peace.

Today’s worship song is John P. Kee’s, “I Do Worship.” If you read my earlier posts, you’ll know yesterday’s mid-afternoon worship session ended with this song. Now today’s session has picked up where it left off.

The song says—

I do worship, I do worship
I do worship You
I do worship, I do worship
I do worship You

For Your goodness and Your glory
For the joy inside Your story
I do worship You

Oh, how excellent is Your presence
We will bless Your name
For Your goodness and Your glory
For the joy inside Your story

For the peace You gave to me
For the day You set me, set me free

For Your goodness and Your glory
For the joy inside Your story

I do worship, I do worship
I do worship, I do worship
I do worship, I do worship
I do worship, I do worship
You

Tap Into God’s Strength

Shaun Bradford

In my previous post, I mentioned my journal entry from October 22, 2023. The first two sentences in that entry were—

“‘Not from my own strength but God’s’ is what I just heard. I need to start tapping into His strength.”

Tap into His strength. Let Him do the heavy lifting. He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Always Keep God First

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

That’s what I wrote in my journal on October 22, 2023. “Always keep God first.” Believe me, He will not lead you wrong.

Soooo…

Did anyone do anything different yesterday?

Well, I did! It wasn’t drastically different, but it was different.

Yesterday, I wrote about how I felt my spirit worshipping God while hearing Tamela Mann’s song, “Change Me,” repeatedly playing in my head. When I finally listened to it, I had it on repeat for well over an hour. Every time I went to stop playing it, I kept hearing, “One more time.” So I played it until another song popped into my head, which was John P. Kee’s “I Do Worship.” Y’all, my spirit was definitely in worship mode.

So, here’s where ‘different’ came in. After listening to my songs, I really felt the need to share what I was experiencing with the world. I had already written it here (see Mid-Afternoon Worship) but needed to get it out verbally without any interruptions. So, I made a short video and shared it on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. I also shared how I could feel a shift taking place. I’ve been feeling it for a while; however, now the feeling is becoming stronger. And it’s not a bad shift, but a good one.

When I tell you it must have been for me to share! Y’all, I had zero anxiety. None! That has never happened, before. Never! I know it may seem small to you, but it was huge for me.

So, that was my different.

Y’all, God is good. So good. There’s no way I could not keep Him first. As I said, I know it may not seem like a big deal, it was just a video. But it was big for me. What took me a few minutes to do yesterday, would have taken me hours to do before, and it was only a couple of minutes long.

Thank you for allowing me to share. I pray you have a beautifully blessed day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Be Obedient

Shaun Bradford

Be obedient. You never know who needs what you have access to.

Yesterday, I texted a friend during Sunday morning service to let her know the message Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts was preaching was about her. I’ve never really spoken to her about anything spiritual before other than saying, “I’m praying for you”, “God’s got you!”; you know, that sort of thing, but nothing more. Well, yesterday I heard as clear as day, you need to send her this message. Even after texting her that morning, I was still second guessing if I should send the link that evening. I had imagined she’d forgotten that I said I would. However, I didn’t wait. I was obedient and sent her the link when it was first available.

A few minutes ago, I opened Facebook and this was the first post on my timeline…

“Shift The Weight” by Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts. Listen, this message blessed me too! When I tell you sometimes the weight can be soooo heavy. However, with God, I have to capacity to handle it. Take a listen!

When God tells you to do something, just do it. Again, you don’t know who needs what you have access to.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

A New Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Today is a new day! In other words, it’s an opportunity for a new beginning. An opportunity to do something different. To want something different. To expect something different.

Soooo…

What will you do differently?

What do you want to be different?

What are you expecting to be different?

Just a few questions to ponder. Smile

I pray you have an amazing week that’s different and more wonderful than you expected.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
