Praying

Shaun Bradford

There’s so much going on right now. So much chaos. Sadly, so many are facing situations where they are surrounded by chaos and distress, and they feel like there is no escape. I’m praying that God gives them a sense of peace. Praying for their protection. And above all, praying that God intervenes soon.

Here’s my Facebook memory from last year. I realize that it may be difficult not to let what’s happening around you affect you; however, do all you can to stay afloat.

They say it’s not the water around the boat that sinks it, but the water that gets inside. My prayer for you today is that the water – drama, chaos, dysfunction, bad vibes – remains outside your boat.

God, we need You.

Praying you have a blessed day and weekend. May God comfort you and surround you with peace, even in the midst of chaos. I know that He’s able.

Love you!♥️

My Heart is Full

Shaun Bradford
Y’all, I am truly blessed.

Today has already been a pretty amazing day. My daughter decided to take this morning off and spend it with me. We talked and reminisced about how much our lives (mostly mine) have changed over the years. I cannot say it enough, God is so good.

By the way, my top two love languages are quality time and words of affirmation. Most of the time we associate love languages with romantic relationships. At least I always have. And I know I’m not the one! Well, today God showed me that what I have been longing for I already have. I have it in my two. He blessed me with two beautiful souls who provide me with both. Smiling. My heart is full.♥️

Sooo… Should I count this as another level of freedom? If not, it’s definitely another level of awareness. I’m really beginning to love Year50.

Be Encouraged: God is Working

Shaun Bradford

William Becton’s song, “Be Encouraged,” says:

I know right now it's impossible to see,
But God is gonna work it out if you just believe.
Remember this one thing while you're going through,
If God delivered Daniel, He'll do the same for you.

Be encouraged no matter what's going on,
He'll make it alright,
But you gotta stay strong.

God’s got you.♥️

Renewed

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

Hold your head up and walk in it!♥️

Keep God First

Shaun Bradford

Keep God first. Not second. Not third. Not as a last resort. First!

Keep Him first in both good and bad times. Most importantly, honor Him just as strongly when you get what you prayed for as you did while you were praying. First!♥️ ~ Shaun

Keep God first and everything else will fall into place.

Life is Lifing and I’m Kinda in My Feelings

Shaun Bradford

Many of my colleagues are in Denver right now at our national conference, and me… I’m here at home. That used to be my thing. I loved going to our conferences and meeting and interacting with so many people. Now, I’m at home alone watching the excitement via social media. It’s times like these that make me want throw in the towel and go back to life as it was. When I didn’t have to work so hard. Where everything was predictable and the money was steady. But nooo! In Shaun true fashion, I had to choose the adventure, the challenge! Ugh!! Why am I like this?!!? Now look at me! While everyone is having fun, I’m sitting here in this life I created with this crazy notion that I am destined for so much more. Even got my babies believing it.

Message from my blessing (daughter). Even she believes what I walk around saying. I did need this, though. And to hear it from my mini-me made me smile.

I know… this too shall pass.

On another note, when I reached around 830 days of continuous posting, I decided to challenge myself to post two posts daily. Sometimes I post more but two is my goal. Not sure if I will challenge myself to post more when I hit 1000 days. Honestly, I’m excited to see what I’ll do after 1000. I’m pretty sure I’ll come up with something special.

Anyhoo… that’s all I had. Just felt like venting. I really do miss being around my colleagues. I know that the season I am in is only temporary but sometimes it feels like it’s going to last forever. Learning to be patient while God continues to work on me, for me, and through me. I’m so glad He loves me.

Wishing you a blessed night.

Take Care!♥️

Make Every Moment Count

Shaun Bradford

How often have you taken moments for granted?

Seems like the older I become, and the more my loved ones die, the more I cherish people, time and experiences. I try not to take anything or anyone for granted. As the saying goes, “Here today, gone tomorrow.” We never know if one particular moment—encounter or experience—will be our last.

Don’t know about you, but I’m taking nothing for granted. Every moment and every experience is precious. Cherishing them all.

Before I end, thank you for reading my blogs. I truly appreciate you and your time. Love you!♥️

Time to Face Your Fears

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: October 6, 2022

The only way to overcome a fear is to face it head on. Avoiding it will not make it disappear.

Are there fears you’ve been reluctant to face?

It’s time!

Master your fears. Don’t let them master you. You’ve got this!♥️
