My Journey With God, No. 26

Shaun Bradford

Sending up praises!

Praising God for being God.

For His covering.

For His love.

For His guidance.

For His peace.

Y’all, I am truly blessed.

When I think about my 20s, 30s, 40s, even a year or so ago, compared to where I am today, all I can do is praise God. I’m no longer that same person. As I have said many times before, I am loving this space I am in. For some reason, I never truly believed it was possible, yet here I am. I said I fully trusted God, but it seems I only trusted Him with certain aspects of my life, not all. It wasn’t until I gave all of myself to Him that things really began to change.

So, yes, I’m sending up praises.

Thank You, Lord, for loving me.♥️

It’s Time To Move

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

On November 26, 2022, I wrote—

“Be still and wait. Yes.. wait!”

Today, I’m saying the opposite.

It’s time to move!

You’ve sat and waited. You were obedient and did what you were told. Now, it’s time to get moving! As I said yesterday, take that leap, you will not fall or fail. God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

P.S. If you’re still hearing to be still and wait… be still and wait. Believe me, it’s best to wait until God gives you the okay to move forward, than to move on your own.💕

My Journey With God, No. 25

♥️

Last year I wrote—

“God’s favor is surrounding you. Embrace it. It’s already yours.”

I guess that message was written for me to read today.

God’s favor is all around me, and I am embracing every bit of it.

The Leap

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning ☀️

Today’s Facebook memory has me pretty emotional. It’s about taking leaps without knowing the details, without knowing what’s to come. All you have is God’s assurance that you won’t fall or fail. Everything else is unknown.

Here’s what I shared on Facebook five years ago (November 25, 2019), unsure who to give credit to for the illustrations.

I wrote—

“Trust God. No matter how outlandish it may seem, if He tells you to do something, do it. He knows what lies ahead. Trust Him.”

I needed this reminder today. I don’t need to see the entire staircase or where the next step will lead. All I need to do is be obedient and trust God, and the rest will unfold.🙏🏽

If there’s a leap you’ve been hesitant to take, perhaps this is your sign to take it. You won’t fail. Praying you have a great day and wonderful week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Life Goes On

Life doesn’t stop because we do. No, it just continues on. So, take a breather when you must, but do get back up and continue going right along with it. Life is just too short and way too precious for us to stop and allow it to pass us by.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You must keep going!

What A Difference A Year Makes

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

So much has happened since last year. Around this time last year, I was experiencing what I considered a spiritual pruning while also trying to adjust to life on this side of 50. The only definite thing was that I knew these next 50 years had to be different from the last.

Here’s what I shared last year.

Shared on November 23, 2021.

After asking myself the same question from a few years ago—am I someone who has fully embraced my true, authentic self?—the answer is “yes.” A year ago, I was close but not entirely there. Today, I can confidently say that I have fully embraced all of myself while still growing and evolving—as we know, both are continuous. As I have mentioned several times this year, I love this space I’m in—living life, loving God, and dancing to the beats (because there are many) of my own drum.

Y’all, I wanted this side of 50 to be different, and it truly is.♥️

I am beyond blessed.🥰

My Journey With God, No. 23

Shaun Bradford

Listen, when God says He’s got you, believe Him. I can’t stress it enough how good He is.

Chicken Salad Chick’s Lauryn’s Lemon Basil chicken salad, chicken poblano soup, and a broccoli salad. A lot of food—two meals.☺️

Had to take a break and let God do what He does. And guess what?! By the time I finished lunch, He had done just that…what He does. Smiling

Feeling blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Enjoying Life

Shaun Bradford

Last night I shared how the song, “Shower Me With Your Love,” randomly started playing in my head. I hadn’t heard it in years, probably decades. That’s not a song that people just play everyday. Well, after that song ended, the next was “I Do” by my favs, Bell Biv Devoe (BBD), which was followed by “Smile Again,” and then Jodeci’s “Forever My Lady” and “Stay.” When I tell you I felt like a teenager/young adult in love. Those were the days! Then, just a little while ago, I saw that Whitney Houston’s “How Will I know” was released on this day in 1985.

Listen, I just love my life!! Despite the craziness, love is beautiful and music is life. I’m sooooo loving this space I’m in.

God is good.

Beyond Blessed♥️
