Chosen

Shaun Bradford

Have you ever asked God, “Why me?”? If you have not, I most certainly have. I never asked disrespectfully, but I have asked. Y’all, I have questioned God so much at times that I know if He were human He would be sick of me.

Today’s Facebook memory is similar to the answers I typically receive after asking. Also, on that particular day (saw another post I shared), Pastor Steven Furtick had shared a snippet of his sermon about being chosen.

Facebook Memory: December 14, 2021

God chose YOU! Let that sink in. Feel it. Own it. Believe it.

Being chosen doesn’t always feel good. In fact, it often feels heavy. Just remember, you are not in this alone. God’s right there with you. He will never leave you. Trust Him.

Here’s a screenshot of Pastor Furtick’s post.

Whatever God has chosen you to do, you can do it. He will never choose you for something only to let you fail. Nope, not my God! So, trust Him. Continue allowing Him to lead and remain obedient. When you get tired, lean into Him and rest. Then, get back up and keep going. Believe me, He’s got you.

Wishing you a wonderfully, blessed day. Love you!♥️

Celebrating 2 Years!

Shaun Bradford

Long before I decided on a name, I had already been sharing inspirational quotes and posts on different platforms. It wasn’t until I created the Facebook page that Shaun’s Daily Inspiration was birthed.

Here is what I shared on that day.

Facebook Memory: December 13, 2021

I believe I have found my purpose in life and that’s to inspire others through my quotes and blogs.

This is my purpose.

Recently, a former student left a comment on a post not associated with my quotes that said, “Ms. Bradford is an inspiration.” Y’all, I was in tears. It was so unexpected. It’s comments like hers that confirm I am on the right path; that I am doing what I am meant to do; that I am following my purpose. God is good.

That’s all for now. Have a wonderful day!♥️

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♥️
