Wednesday Praise

Shaun Bradford

Woke up singing, “O magnify the Lord, for He is worthy to be praised.”

Y’all, I do not know what God has planned, but I do know He’s moving, and He’s moving pretty fast. I have made more connections and achieved more goals in the last month than I have over the past few years. It’s so amazing to see. It’s like I’m starring in my own movie and watching it at the same time. How cool is that?!

Anyhoo… Let me get up and get going. I have things to do. It feels so good to once again be doing the things I love. Smiling

God is so good and so worthy to be praised. Amen

Praying you have a wonderful Wednesday! Will talk to you soon.♥️

Speak Life, Speak Abundance

Shaun Bradford

Remember to be intentional about speaking abundance over your life. Much too often we see things as is and not as they could and should be. We all deserve an abundant life filled with peace, love, happiness, joy and prosperity.♥️ ~ Shaun

We deserve to live abundantly. I don’t believe God would want anything less.

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

I say this so often that it may appear to be a cliche; but y’all, I love the way God loves me. One day I will have to write a book about God’s greatness in my life. The way events occur in my life is quite interesting and seemingly implausible; but as they say, I have receipts.

I have thousands of journal entries – 30 plus years of entries – that document God’s goodness, grace, mercy and unconditional love in my life. Y’all, no matter how many times I have – been disobedient, done things on my own, self-sabotaged opportunities, and doubted His words – He has always picked me up, brushed me off, dried my tears, made me smile and gave me another chance to do and be better.

Yes, one day I will write a book… or several.

Y’all, I have discovered it’s not the big, glorious things that make life so interesting. It’s the small things leading to the big ones that are so remarkable and rewarding!

I pray you have a beautiful week. Be mindful of the small blessings that come your way. I believe they are God’s way of expressing His love for us, which is so often overlooked.

Be Blessed

Shaun

Yesterday I received a last minute invite to a rodeo. Friday night’s meltdown became Saturday’s smile. This is only one example of how God expresses His love for me.♥️

Cherish Every Moment

Shaun Bradford

Last year’s quote is perfect for today. We must cherish every moment while we can and take nothing or no one for granted. Y’all, we are truly blessed. Enjoy your day.♥️ ~ Shaun

Trust God and Make the Move

Shaun Bradford

You do not have to see the entire picture before making a move. Just make the move and trust God to guide you through the unknown.♥️

This past decade has been filled with visions, ideas and dreams. I have never experienced such strong desires to achieve so many things all at once. It’s as if everything I ever imagined from childhood until 40 all bombarded me without warning. Y’all, feeling overwhelmed is definitely an understatement!

Then, when I thought I had a grip on everything, I decided to be bold and take a blind leap not knowing where I would land or if I would land. Honestly, I am not sure if I am even meant to land. Seems as if I have been floating, going with the flow of wherever God’s taking me. I listen and do. I am not going to lie, it is scary at times. But I am always reminded that God has not left me yet. He’s been with me every step of the way making sure I am well protected, loved and provided for. Y’all, I am truly blessed.

Continuing to trust God to lead even when I cannot see the entire picture.

God Is …

God is …
Feel free to fill in the rest.
Enjoy your day!♥️

** The second drawing is from last year. Not sure what it was supposed to be. A picture of fans, maybe? Lol. Anyhoo… it was the inspiration for today’s drawing.🙃

Singing, “God is the joy and the strength of my life …”

Balance

Shaun Bradford

Our life needs balance. There is no way we can truly live our best lives without it.

Yesterday, a friend of mine shared her personal journey with being self-disciplined. How at one point she was so disciplined that it became unhealthy. If you read either of yesterday’s blogs, that’s exactly what was happening with me. Now, I wasn’t as disciplined as her, but I was on my way there. For the longest, I have been trying to force myself to stay focused on my work by eliminating “distractions.” However, all I was doing was making myself sick. I cannot eliminate things from my life that actually bring we joy. I just can’t. So I have to find a way to balance it all.

Y’all have a blessed day.♥️ ~ Shaun

Wednesday Writings

Shaun Bradford

A few moments ago, I liked a tweet that said, “In this very moment, my life is perfect.”

Hmmm…

In this very moment, my life is muddled.

Yep..

Right now.

In this very moment.

Muddled.

It’s kind of difficult to explain. I feel somewhat detached and alienated from the world. I can hear people saying, “Hush, don’t tell anyone how you really feel. Keep that to yourself. You’ll get over it.” And I will get over it. I always do. However, in this very moment, this is my life and this is how I feel. Honestly, I’m not even sure how I got to this point. My goal was to block out distractions and focus on my business; but it seems like the more I do, the more I feel alone.

Today is my designated wellness day. I believe I need to take it. No work.

Why did my heart just drop when I wrote “no work”? It’s like I cannot afford not to do anything. Ugh!

But, yes, today I just need to be. Wish I could go on a picnic or to the beach. I need to be one with nature. I need to really connect with God, and I can’t do it from where I am. Plus, today it’s too rainy and too cold to be outside. Sigh

Anyhoo..

I’ll talk to y’all tomorrow. I promise it will be something uplifting. Enjoy your day.♥️

Be Encouraged

Shaun Bradford

I can hear William Becton and choir singing–

“Be encouraged, no matter what’s going on. He’ll make it alright, but you gotta stay strong.”

God’s got you!♥️ ~ Shaun
