Let’s Swim

Shaun Bradford

Last year, December 11th fell on a Sunday. Below is the post I shared. Today, it is a great reminder that God places people and resources within our reach to assist us with our needs. Y’all, God does not want us to fail. He wants us to succeed and be prosperous. Let’s push aside our pride, utilize every God-given resource, and excel. Listen, I am claiming this for all of us, 2024 will be different because we are going to intentionally make it different. Let’s swim!♥️ ~Shaun

Good Things Are Coming

Shaun Bradford

The two messages below were not shared together before; however, it seems so fitting to share them together today. They actually compliment each other. The first one completes the second’s message.

Facebook Memory: December 11, 2022

Remain hopeful. Good things are headed your way.♥️

Shared on December 11, 2015 without a caption. None was needed.

The message: Remain hopeful. God will never ask you to give up something without having a better plan and/or replacement in place. Be patient. Everything will happen at the right time—God’s time. Until then, continue being obedient and following God’s lead. Before you know it, everything will be replaced with more than you could have ever imagined. Hang in there!

Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Woke up in the middle of the night because it was storming. I could hear the rain pouring down and the wind blowing. We had had tornadoes and tennis ball sized hail reported in different areas of our state so I knew it was probably bad outside. Instead of getting up and looking out the window or looking at the weather app, as I would typically do, I rolled over and went back to sleep. Said I would worry about the weather if or when the weather alerts and sirens sounded—which never happened. Right now it’s very calm out. The storm has passed and there is no more rain in the forecast.

I believe my experience is an example of how things should play out when we encounter storms in our lives. We should not worry or panic but give them to God. Then, we should rest in Him knowing He has us covered.

Right now, Greg O’Quin ‘n Joyful Noyze’s song, I Told the Storm, is playing over and over in my head. Here is a snippet of it:

Even though your winds blow
I want you to know
You cause me no alarm
‘Cause I’m safe in His arms
Even though your rain falls
I can still make this call
Let there be peace
Now I can say go away
I command you to move today
Because of faith
I have a brand new day
The sun will shine
And I will be okay
That’s what I told the storm

I told the storm (told the storm, storm, storm, oh yes I did)
To pass (ohh ohhhh)
Storm you can’t last (you’ve got to go, yeah)
Go (go away) away (I command)
I command you to move today (you to move, ohh yeah)
Storm (oh storm yeah)
When God speaks (when my God speaks)
Storm (you don’t have a choice in the matter)
You have to cease (you have to cease, yes that’s…)
That’s what I told the storm (what I told the storm)
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Y’all, we must speak to our storms and let them know we are covered by THE almighty God. They may toss us around, but they will never destroy us. Amen

I pray you have a wonderfully, blessed week. I will be back later with another post.

Love You Always♥️
