Dreams

Shaun Bradford

Just woke up from my second or third weird dream. The first dream felt so real that I woke up as if it was happening at that very moment. I could see it so clearly. I could also feel it. I wrote as much as I could remember in my journal. The dream was very straightforward, nothing to interpret. However, I kept hearing, “You woke up too soon.” Hmmm

Now that I have written about it, perhaps the dream shouldn’t be my concern but the message I received afterward. I woke up too soon. Was there more to see? Guess I will never know because I did not stick around to find out.

The dreams that followed were not related or quite as interesting. But that first one had me a bit shook. Most of my dreams are just dreams; however, some are pretty real. Since childhood, I have witnessed some version of my dreams happen. I even dreamed my mom would suffer from paraplegia only months before it happened (it’s journaled). So, I don’t take my dreams lightly, especially not the ones that wake me up like this one did. The crazy part about this one and the message I received after I woke up is I actually forced myself to wake up. I did not want to see any more.

Well, this is how my week has started. I pray your week is pretty normal. I am going to tuck that dream away and focus on something else, which goes so well with this Facebook memory from a year ago. Was going to save it for my second blog but I’ll find something else to share.

Focus on the good.♥️

Enjoy your day!♥️

Be Inspired

Shaun Bradford

This week I have been seeing and hearing “Be inspired!” everywhere. Little did I know I would see it again this morning. Life is so very interesting. Can’t help but love it. Smiling

Facebook Memory: November 18, 2022

Today’s a new day! Be inspired to do, create, build or try something new. I love y’all!♥️

The message speaks for itself—Be inspired!

Last year, when I shared this message on my other Facebook page, I added the following:

Be inspired to do that thing you’ve been wanting to do but been too afraid to do.😘

Hmmm…

Well, that’s it. That’s the message. I pray you have an amazing weekend!

Love you!♥️

Take the Leap

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: November 15, 2022

A few years ago, I shared this quote – “Fear is only temporary. Regret lasts forever.” I’m not sure if regret lasts forever; however, I do know fear is only temporary.

Your vision is clear. Don’t allow fear to stop you from fulfilling your purpose. Do it afraid!♥️

As Nike says—Just Do It!

Lately, my messages from last year have been much needed messages for today. Seems like whatever I post in the morning is needed sometime during the same day. I guess it’s God’s way of preparing me for what’s to come. Today’s message is, “Do it afraid.” Well, whatever “it” is, I am going to do it. Yep…I am going to do it afraid. Whew!! Gotta remember God’s got me.

I pray you have a wonderful Wednesday. Listen, take that leap that frightens you the most. God’s got you. He will not let you fail.

Be Blessed!♥️

Never Settle For Less

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: November 14, 2022

Have you ever settled because you were too anxious to wait? OR…because you believed that what you were offered was the best you could get? You know– “You better take what you can get.”

Nah! NEVER settle for less than what you desire. Believe me, you’re worth it and more!♥️

Don’t do it!

On another note…

TODAY IS MY BESTIES’ 50TH BIRTHDAY!!!!

Y’all, we have been friends since we were toddlers (2-3 years old). We also share the same name (Shaun & Shawn). How wild is that, especially since I was born in Mississippi and she was born in Chicago. Our mothers were never friends. We met through our grandparents who were neighbors. Most of our lives we lived in different places. I was always between Mississippi and Kansas and she was everywhere—Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee and Mississippi. Although we rarely saw each other outside of summer vacations, we kept in touch through letters. I am so grateful and blessed to have her in my life.

Divine connection. This is our Year50!!!

Hello! I’m Praying for You

Shaun Bradford

This morning I am sending up prayers for every single soul on this planet. Yes… Every. Single. Soul. Y’all, I wonder what would happen if we prayed for souls instead of people. In my opinion, praying for people in general can be a bit complicated because we tend to see faces when we pray. I believe this leads to biases and causes us to alter our prayers, or even skip a few people. However, when we pray for souls we are less likely to tailor our prayers. Just a thought.

Yes, YOU!

On the subject of prayer…

This morning, I came across a random name I had written in a journal entry on this date. It was the name of a young man I did not know. However, I wrote in my journal that I had to remember him and his name. He had passed away from AIDS-induced pneumonia. From what I had written, I had been following his story for a few weeks. Y’all, I looked him up after I read that entry and still have no idea who he was, but I had been praying for him. I won’t mention his name; however, as promised, I am remembering him today, as well as praying for his family and friends.

Y’all, prayer doesn’t cost a thing. Nothing. Let’s keep every single soul uplifted in prayer.

Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

I believe I will make the following Facebook memory my screensaver. I am finishing up two papers that are due by the end of the day, and I need the encouragement.

Facebook Memory: November 12, 2022

YOU were born to WIN! I love you and God loves you too. Have a blessed day!♥️

I was born to WIN, and so were you!

On another note, so many exciting things are happening this week! Besides this being the final day of this term (Woohoo!), two of my besties are turning 50 this week. One has a birthday tomorrow, November 13th, and the other on Tuesday, November 14th (friends since age 2 –♥️). Then on Friday, November 17th, a documentary about my fave (added the “e” for those who cringe when I write “fav”), Mr. Tyler Perry, will premiere on Amazon Prime Video – Maxine’s Baby: The Tyler Perry Story. Woohoo!

This is going to be some week!♥️

Drown Out the Noise

Shaun Bradford

In the words of Smokie Norful—

The noise of my day
The depression that steals my voice
The confusion that arrests my life
So I can’t even make a choice

Life seems so loud
I’ve been too proud
So Lord, what do I do?
I just need a word from You …

Drown out the noise
Let me hear Your voice
Oh Lord, I know need a word from You
Song: I Need a Word

Breathe. God’s got you.♥️
