My Journey With God, No. 50

Shaun Bradford
Me at my “man’s” (he was 21—barely a man😂) dorm room. We had no idea what we were doing. Lol. Life…

Thought I’d be asleep by now but I am wide awake. The Facebook memory above has me smiling because in 10 days I will have a 30 year old!🎉

When I took that picture, I had no idea my life would be totally different two years later. You couldn’t have told me I would be pregnant, single, and broken, and I’d believe it. There was no way!

I’m smiling because I remember that young girl who was pretending to be a grown woman. She had so much to learn about people and life, but she thought she knew it all. Couldn’t convince her otherwise.

I smile at her innocence.

I smile at her perception of life and people. She believed in everything good.

I smile because she was once me.

I was once her.

I’m still her.

Just older, wiser…and a little lot heavier.☺️

What a journey this life has been. I am forever grateful for the experiences, good and bad, because both made me who I am today. I’m not going to lie, I do miss her.🥰

Good Night (36)

Shaun Bradford

I’m still singing Marvin Sapp’s “Chosen Vessel.” I recently watched a video of Priscilla Shirer explaining how God intentionally chose every part of our lineage, placing us where we are today. It isn’t by chance that we are here at this moment in time. We were purposefully chosen to be here.

Let that sink in…

We were chosen to experience this AI era. We were chosen to go through the next phase of world challenges and changes. We were chosen.

Yes, let that sink in…

So, if God chose us for this specific time and we were not created to fail, we are strong enough to get through anything—but not without God. No, God has to be at the forefront of everything we do and at all times.

We can do this!

Yes, we can do this because We Are Chosen. Smile

I pray you have a restful night.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Chosen Vessel

Covered.

Marvin Sapp’s song “Chosen Vessel” says—

I’ve made mistakes I thought
I’d never recover from
Some said I fell from grace
I just knew I was done
I felt discarded, abandoned and thrown away
But then God’s love stepped in
Restored me to my place
He said

You are my chosen vessel
You are anointed for this season in time
What people rejected
I have accepted
I am with you, you are mine
You are mine

You are God’s chosen vessel. You were specifically chosen for this season in time. How wonderful is that! Listen, allow God to use and work through you. Believe me, He won’t let you fail.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It Will Happen: Never Stop Believing

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Wrote the following on January 16, 2023 — “Never stop believing. In spite of the struggles, heartaches and setbacks, never stop believing that the dream God placed in your heart will happen. It may take days, months, years or even decades, but IT WILL HAPPEN. Just keep believing and leave the timing to God.”

Habakkuk 2:2 (NIV). Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.”

A few years ago, I shared Matthew A. Cherry’s story about his desire to be nominated for an Oscar award. Eight years after he tweeted about it, he was nominated for one and won! Here’s what I shared:

Never stop believing. It will happen!♥️

Love you,
