Be Grateful

Shaun Bradford

Singing Walter Hawkins’ “Be Grateful.” The song says (Lyrics: MusixMatch)—

God has not promised me sunshine
That’s not the way it’s supposed to be
But a little rain mixed with God’s sunshine
A little pain, makes me appreciate the good times

Be grateful, be grateful

God desires to feel your longings
Every pain that you feel, He feels them
Just like you, but He can’t afford to make you feel only good
Then you can’t appreciate the good times

Be grateful, be grateful, be grateful
Because there’s someone else who’s worser than you, be grateful
Because there’s someone else who’d love to be in your shoes
Be grateful, God said it would never, never forsake you
Be grateful

The rain definitely makes me appreciate the sunshine.

Grateful and blessed.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 53

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Woke up this morning singing Kirk Franklin’s “Conquerors”. Then, I came across these two messages in my Facebook memories.

Whew! This message is right here. This is exactly what God’s been telling me to do. I keep saying, “I’m listening, God; I hear you, God.” However, as we’ve all experienced (and I know I’m not alone in this), doing so becomes difficult at times when the facts seem overpowering. But I’m holding on. The crazy thing is God has never not taken care of me. He’s always been faithful. So why is it difficult to stay focused on His instructions?

I guess I’m beginning to sound like Joel because I ended last year with this exact message—I’m taking the limits off God and myself. Y’all, why do I want to say, “This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. …” IYKYK😁

I needed both messages this morning. Thank You, God.♥️

Happy Feelings

Shaun Bradford

On this date eight years ago, I was listening to “Happy Feelin’s” by Frankie Beverly and MAZE—

Happy feelin’s in the air
Touching people everywhere
Plenty love and everything
Listen to the people sing, ooh

Singing—“Feel that happy feelin’”

God is good.

Praying your day has been good thus far. Enjoy the rest!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 52

Shaun Bradford

“Made A Way” by Travis Greene is the song of the hour. The song says—

You made a way
When our backs were against the wall
And it looked as if it was over
You made a way
And we’re standing here
Only because you made a way
You made a way

July 2021

I shared the statement above a few months after I became a full-time entrepreneur. God had my back then, and He still has it today—I needed the reminder I received earlier while in shopping (see “Often, Easier Said Than Done”).

This morning, I felt myself falling into the trap of just because I couldn’t see anything happening, nothing was happening. Y’all, I had done all I could in my power and had moved on. The last thing I expected was to receive that particular call and on a holiday. I guess that was God’s way of letting me know He still has my back. All I need to do is rest in Him, be still, and move when He instructs me to do so.

I’m listening, God.♥️
