Protect Your Peace

Shaun Bradford

Listen, protect your peace at all costs. Do not let the craziness and chaos that’s surrounding you get to you or inside of you. It’s not worth it.

Facebook Memory: January 10, 2022

One of the keys to living a healthier, stress-free life is protecting your peace. Sometimes this means cutting ties with certain people and/or avoiding spaces that cause stress. Listen, your life depends on it. #ProtectYourPeace

NOTE: Symptoms of stress – excessive worry, uneasiness, tension, headaches, body aches, high blood pressure and loss of sleep. (National Institute of Mental Health)

There’s only one YOU. Protect your peace and stay healthy!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Life: Trust God’s Process

Shaun Bradford

Life is so wonderfully unpredictable. You set out with one thought or goal in mind and end up somewhere completely different. Different is not necessarily a bad thing, it’s just different.

No matter where you are in this particular moment in life, know that it is temporary. Sadly, the highs don’t last forever, but thankfully the lows do not either. Y’all, God is so merciful. We must remember life is full of necessary ebbs and flows. They are all part of a greater purpose and plan. Although we may question where life is taking us, it is so important for us to trust God and trust His process. He really does have our best interest at heart. Everything will work out in our favor.♥️ ~Shaun

God’s got you!

Are You Giving God Your Best?

Shaun Bradford

Here’s today’s Facebook Memory from last year.

Facebook Memory: January 9, 2023

Food for thought: We want and expect the best, but are we giving God our BEST?

Is He getting your best?

Just imagine how good life would actually be if we gave God our best. I am so grateful He does not treat us like we treat Him. Y’all, we are definitely blessed. So thankful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. It’s unmatched!♥️

It’s Due Season

Shaun Bradford

And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Galatians 6:9 (NKJV)

You did all the right things, and did not lose heart. You hung in there even when it seemed impossible. Smile. It’s due season. It’s time for you to reap your harvest of blessings. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

You did it!

Dare To Be Different

Shaun Bradford

Dare to be different.

Dare to stand or walk alone.

Dare to dance to the beat of your own drums.

Dare to dream your wildest dreams and expect them to come true.

Dare to be yourself.

Yes, dare to be YOU.

You are one of one. You were not created to fit in. You were created to stand out. Now, shine!♥️

Blessings,

Shaun

Much More Is Waiting

Shaun Bradford

As I wrote two years ago, where you currently are is not where you are meant to stay. There is so much more waiting for you to see and achieve. Keep going!♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memory: January 8, 2022

Where you are at in this moment in time is not where you are meant to stay. Do not give up and whatever you do, please do not settle. Higher IS waiting.

You have come too far to stop now. Keep going higher!🙏🏽♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Happy First Sunday of 2024! Thanking God for life, love, health, purpose and peace. Going to start this year off with one of my favorite worship songs. Found it among today’s Facebook memories and thought I would share.

Alabaster Box by CeCe Winans
Lyrics: AZLyrics.com

The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There’s no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster

And I’ve come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary’s alabaster box
Don’t be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren’t there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don’t know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

I can’t forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I’d thought I’d found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
So now I’m giving back to Him
All the praise He’s worthy of
I’ve been forgiven
And that’s why
I love Him so much

And I’ve come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary’s alabaster box
Don’t be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren’t there the night Jesus found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don’t know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don’t know the cost of my praise
You don’t know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

Listen, when CeCe says– “You weren’t there the night Jesus found me. You did not feel what I felt when He wrapped His loving arms around me.” Whew!!! ONLY God knows. Forever grateful for His unconditional love, mercy, and grace. I am pretty sure someone else can relate. No one will ever quite understand the cost of our oils. All they need to know is that we are still here! Amen.

I pray this song continues to bless you as much as it does me. Wishing you a wonderfully, peaceful Sunday.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It Won’t Always Be Like This

Singing VaShawn Mitchell’s “Turning Around For Me.”

Turning Around For Me by VaShawn Mitchell
Lyrics: Musixmatch

Sometimes discouraged but not defeated
Cast down but not destroyed
There are times I don’t understand
But I believe it’s turning around for me

I’ve had struggles and disappointments
There were times I felt so alone
Some of my friends, they let me down
But I still believe, it’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

‘Cause I can see the breaking
I can see the breaking of day
God is making a way
A change is coming for me
If I stand strong and believe
There’s no reason to doubt
I know He’s working it out
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
He will perfect that concerning me
And sooner or later, it will turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
The Lord will perfect that concerning me
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
It’s turning around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me(around for me)
Around for me(around for me)
Around for me(around for me)
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

Around for me
Around for me
Around for me
It’s turning around for me

It won’t always be like this
He will perfect that concerning me
Sooner or later, turn in my favour
Sooner or later, turn in my favour

Smile. Good news is on the way. I can feel it!

Be Blessed♥️

All We Have Is The Present

Shaun Bradford

I cannot believe we are almost one full week into 2024! Time is doing what it does—moving forward without a care in the world. It does not care about feelings, life, peace or chaos. Nope. It just moves right along. Which brings me to today’s Facebook memory—staying present. I believe when we stop fighting time life seems to flow so much more effortlessly.

Facebook Memory: January 5, 2023

Let’s not be so consumed with the past or the future that we miss out on today’s blessings. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not promised. All we have is now.♥️

Staying present represents our respect for time.

Today, I challenge you (doing the same for myself) to stay present and enjoy the gift of now. Have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
