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♥️

Obedience, That’s The Word

Shaun Bradford

I know I write a lot about obedience, but y’all, our obedience to God is sooooo important—so very important.

Obedience gets you through the though times. Obedience brings blessings you weren’t expecting. Obedience keeps you protected. God knows and sees things you don’t. Listen, be obedient to whatever He asks of you. You may not understand what He’s asking, or feel the need to follow through, but do. Trust Him. He’s looking out for you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Life Is Interesting

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Today, I came across a quote by James Baldwin in my Facebook memories that made me think of a question I often ask myself– “How did I end up here?” Meaning, how did I end up in this space in time? Well, as James Baldwin’s quote suggests, all it takes is a millimeter of a shift, and our lives can change forever.

Although the James Baldwin quote refers to changes in the world, I can easily relate it to the personal changes that have happened to me over time. It only took one event, one experience, or one encounter for something inside me to shift. I can see it, now. I was no longer the person I was moments before that event occurred.

Y’all, life is interesting…

Side note: Just heard this, be careful of the spaces you enter and who you allow in your space. Some events and experiences are intentionally designed to alter your thoughts and behaviors. Whew!

Listen, we must stay prayed up and take God with us everywhere we go. Discernment and God’s covering are so necessary. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right—period, and we have to stop trying to make it feel right. There’s a distinct difference between fear or uncertainty about the unknown and feelings of unease. Uneasiness isn’t a good sign. RUN!!!

Okay… I had no idea this quote would lead me in this direction; however, here we are. Smile.

I believe I will end here. Thanks for reading. I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

The Ride Goes On

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Saw the following post on my Facebook feed this morning and decided to share.

This thing called life is very interesting and so unpredictable. There’s always something going on or some emotion we’re experiencing. We’re never just here. Even while meditating or sleeping, something is still happening. So, since we’re still alive, let’s make the most of this ride.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Shhh…

Shaun Bradford

I had to laugh when this thought came to mind because I do tend to over share. However, I don’t share everything. Laughing

Here’s what I learned while growing up, a lesson that was reinforced while I was in the military. We make our best moves when we’re silent. Silence and strategy matters. Now, this doesn’t mean I got something cooking.😏😄 I’m just saying everything doesn’t need to be shared.

On a serious note, though—which is something I learned from being too open—not every friendly person is your friend, and not everyone interested in what you’re doing has your best interests at heart. So it’s best to keep some things to yourself. Especially, the things that are dear and close to your heart.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Discernment matters. Be sure to listen to that still small voice.

It’s Greater Than You

Peaceful Moments

Shaun Bradford

Lately, I have been more intentional about creating peaceful moments. Surrendering to God and allowing Him to work freely has been the most effective. Also, setting boundaries has helped.

Y’all, we only have one life—one that’s so precious and short. We must take care of ourselves on all levels. Remember, our emotional, mental, and spiritual health is just as important as our physical health.

Wishing you peace, love, and great health. Take care of yourself.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Amazing!

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a post I shared in 2021. The message about worth is great, but it’s the hashtags for me!

Walk in your worth.

Live in your worth.

You ARE amazing!

And you are. You are absolutely amazing!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Are you walking and living in your worth? I pray that you are.🙏🏽

God, Your Will Be Done

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How often have you heard or used the phrase, “Thy will be done”?

This morning I’m saying…

“Thy will be done.”

Not my will, God, but Yours.

“Thy will be done.”

Expecting more than I asked or imagined.

“Thy will be done.”

As Marvin L. Winans said, “I’ve seen You work in others, now I want You to work in me.” —“Draw Me Close/Thy Will Be Done”

God’s child.

Wishing you a lovely day and a beautiful weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
