The Wait

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: November 4, 2022

Be patient. Everything will happen at its appointed time.♥️

It will happen.

No matter how long you have waited, keep waiting. It is better to wait for God’s best than settle for less and then try to mold what you settled for into God’s best. It doesn’t work that way. I don’t know about you, but I would rather wait for God’s best knowing that everything He has for me is only for me. Yes… ONLY for me.

My advice—be patient and wait on God. Allow Him to lead. He hasn’t forgotten about you. Remember, He is always working and everything will happen when it is time. Believe me, nothing or no one can stop it.

Love you!♥️

You Are Already Equipped With What You Need

Facebook Memory: October 30, 2023

You CAN and WILL achieve everything you set out to do. Please do not allow where you currently are to discourage from even trying. God believes in you so why not believe in yourself.

Maybe your current situation doesn’t reflect what you envisioned so you feel a need to give up. Please don’t. Work through the uncomfortable moments. God would not have given you the dream if it couldn’t be achieved. You are already equipped to make it happen.♥️ ~ Shaun

Can’t stress this enough—You got this!

Keep Going, Shaun

Shaun Bradford
I got you, Baby Girl!

I owe it to my five year old self to become who I imagined I would and could be, plus more. I must keep going.♥️

Short story…

I was so proud of my afro! I wanted an afro so badly, but my hair was too long and too fine to stand up. So, I cried and cried until my mom gave in. Y’all, against everything she wanted to do knowing she would be scolded by older adults, she cut my hair. She cut my hair so I could have a fro. It was perfect… until I messed it up. Shaking my head

As every kid does on picture day, I played with my hair before picture time. I don’t know why they don’t take pictures first thing in the mornings. If you look very closely to the right of the picture, buried in my fro is a red flower that my mom had placed in my hair. It was hidden by the time I took my picture. Listen, you couldn’t tell me I wasn’t cute and picture ready. Baby, I was clean! Laughing. That meant looking good back in the 70s. Good memories.

Thanks for reading. I pray that you are or have become everything your five year old self imagined you could and would be. Have a blessed day!

Purposed For Thriving

Shaun Bradford

If God said it, touched it, and blessed it, then it is purposed for thriving. Nothing or no one can stop it from doing so.♥️ ~Shaun

When God is in it, thriving is continuous.

Be Consistent

Shaun Bradford

This morning I heard the phrase, “be consistent,” while watching a video. I love one of Merriam-Webster’s definitions– to be marked by harmony. Here is what I have learned about consistency. If your head is in it and your heart is not, or vice versa, despite good intentions, you will not be consistent. Both need to operate in harmony.♥️ ~Shaun

Consistency matters.

Hold On

Shaun Bradford

Hold on. God is working. He’s already set things in motion. Listen, you cannot afford to give up now.♥️ ~ Shaun

Don’t give up. It’s already yours.

It’s been two years since I took my amazing leap of faith. Truthfully, I have zero regrets. However, I have found myself at a crossroads. I’m at a point where part of me wants to go back to what’s familiar, to what is safe and comfortable; while the other part wants to ride this thing out and see where it takes me. I keep hearing, “Hold on,” and “You are sooo close.” But reality is staring me in the face saying, “Girl, get your head out the clouds! Try again later when you’re better equipped.”

It’s a lot.

I feel like if I do not see this thing through, I will always turn back when things get hard. I know God’s got me. This is just one of those hurdles I have to face.

Y’all have a blessed weekend.

Believe

Shaun Bradford

Never stop believing.♥️~ Shaun

A few years ago, I shared a tweet Matthew A. Cherry, producer and director, had shared from years earlier. His original tweet read, “I’m gonna be nominated for an Oscar one day. Already claiming it.” He tweeted this on June 1, 2012. Well, in February 2020, he actually won an Oscar for his animated short film, Hair Love. Fun fact… I backed his Kickstarter for the film. So you already know I was super excited when the film won!

Anyhoo.. just like Matthew and so many others have done – manifest what you desire; believe it will happen; then, work towards getting it. It may take a while, even decades before it comes to fruition; however, you best believe, if it’s meant to be, IT WILL HAPPEN or something greater will. That’s how my God works. Smiling

Enjoy your week!
