Patience

Shaun Bradford

Patience: the capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.

Hmmm… I’m pretty patient. How about you?

Over the years, I have learned that it’s better to wait on God than to step out on my own. Believe me, it only took me a few times of “doing me” to realize God’s way and timing are always best.

Here’s what I shared five years ago.

Facebook Memory: April 10, 2019

Happy Hump Day! Here’s today’s social media find. Patience. Be patient. Your day is coming. Your breakthrough is right around the corner. Sound familiar? Sometimes I feel like I’ve been patient long enough. Like I’ve had that good attitude forever, and the results are no where in sight. Real talk.💯 Honestly, it’s hard to stay positive all of the time. However, today I commit to remaining positive no matter what things look like. I know God is working. Yes, God is working.☺️

When I tell you God always sends the right message at the right time. Several blogs ago, I wrote about my first time experiencing anger, which was after my ex refused to sign the divorce papers. Well, it was during that time—probably at the height of my anger (after four years of patiently waiting)—that I happened to see Women Of History’s tweet (in the image above).

After sharing their tweet, I did exactly what was suggested, I carried on with a positive attitude. I put the pain of the wait behind me and started living. Then, one day when I least expected it, I received a call from my lawyer telling me the papers had been signed. Hallelujah!

Y’all, it’s true, it’s always darkest before dawn. If you have been waiting years for something to happen, do not give up. Completely surrender it to God and live. Believe me, once you release it to God, the wait won’t even bother you.

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday. Bad weather is forecasted for the entire day, here. Praying the damage is minimal and there are no fatalities.

Be Blessed ♥️

Never Give Up On Your Dreams

Shaun Bradford

How many dreams have you given up on in your lifetime because they just seem unrealistic, unobtainable, or your time has passed? I don’t know about you, but I have given up on many dreams—too many. Mostly because they had not come the way I imagined they would. They always required work that I was either not prepared to do or didn’t want to do. Yes, dreams take work. Smile. Well, this year, Year50, I had to ask myself if I was going to spend this side of 50 giving up on what I wanted most or go get it. My answer, “Baby, I’m getting everything God has for me!” I am not letting any of the dreams I still have die with me, and I suggest that you don’t either. You cannot afford to let them die. God gave you those dreams, which means you can actually have them if you want them. Now, go get them!♥️ ~Shaun

Don’t give up and never stop believing. You’re closer to your dream than you think.

Remember, you have to work for it!

Perfectly Imperfect

Shaun Bradford

I rarely check my Facebook memories on my other accounts, but decided to check them just now. Here’s one from my LaShaundreaB account. Trying to hang out on it a little more often.

Facebook Memory: April 8, 2021

What would life be like without flaws? I believe our imperfections represent God’s perfection. He never intended for us to be clones or perfect. Today, I encourage you to embrace YOU, the real you, imperfections and all. Believe me, YOU make life exciting!

Just be YOU!♥️

Embrace Who You Are

One of my first graphics. LJB2019

As you can see, I have been creating my own graphics for a while now. Seeing how far I have come makes me smile. I smile because I found something that I really enjoy doing. I smile because I did not stop because my graphics did not look like everyone else’s. For some reason I wanted mine to be just as unique as me. Lastly, I smile because I cannot wait to see what it evolves into. What was once LJB2019 became LJBSmiles, Shaun’s Smile, LaShaundrea, LaShaundreaB, and now Shaun’s Daily Inspiration. I believe Shaun’s Daily Inspiration is the one I am going to stick with.

Here is what I wrote on the day that I created the graphic.

Facebook Memory: April 8, 2019

Good Morning! This morning I decided to create my own social media find.😉 We’re all different. We are like pieces of a puzzle. Our unique gift/talent is needed to complete the puzzle. So don’t sleep on your gift because it’s needed. Always remember, YOU matter. You have a purpose.

My gifts and talents are definitely unique to me and provide something only I can. This is me fitting perfectly in the space God designed just for me.

Embracing who God designed me to be and evolving.

Wishing you a wonderful week! Don’t let too much stress you out. If you find yourself becoming overwhelmed, take a break and breathe. You deserve a stress free life.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
