The Trade

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I’m not sure if this new routine of getting more sleep is going to work. I feel like I’ve gotten too much sleep. It’s new so I will allow myself time to adjust. The real test will be how I perform throughout the day. Will I need to take a nap this afternoon or not?

Anyhoo, here’s a message I found in last year’s journal entry. I wrote I found it on LinkedIn.

The LinkedIn quote—

“Your new life is going to cost you your old life. You ready to make that trade?” –Author Unknown

The cost.

There’s always a cost associated with change.

When I declared that this side of 50 would be different than my last 50 years of life, I had no idea of what it would cost me. On some days I feel like I have lost so much more than I’ve gained. My life isn’t the same. (Just being honest.) Then, on other days—most days—when I’m working on my own projects or spending time with my loves (which is what I really wanted—the freedom to move and spend time as I please), I’m on cloud nine. But it did cost me.

Yes, I made the trade because I desired something different. I wanted to experience something different. I’m only a year and a half into it so it’s very new. I know that in time I will adjust and one day the things I lost will feel like a gain. Giving myself time, grace, and space to process it all.

That’s all for now. Not sure if 6:00 AM CT will be my new post time or not. We shall see. I did wake up around 3:30, but forced myself to go back to sleep. This is another thing I will eventually adjust to. I know in the long run it’s for the best.

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust God

Shaun Bradford

Life is a process. Last year I wrote to trust the process. What I should have written was “Trust God through and throughout the process.” Life is always going to do what it does, but God will always remain stable. Trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Remain covered! Don’t you dare step out on your own.

Trust The Process

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: July 1, 2022

Life is interesting. We never know where it’s taking us. One minute we think we’re headed in one direction and the next, we’re headed somewhere completely different. Thankfully, in the end, we always land where we are meant to be. Trust the process.

Wishing you a wonderful first day of July! Speaking new opportunities and blessings over your month. Praying God blocks everything against you and whatever is meant for harm will instead work out in your favor.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

God Always Finishes What He Begins

Shaun Bradford

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: April 5, 2022

Smile. God is still working. Whatever He began, He will finish. Hang in there.

It might take years, but God always finishes what He begins. Unlike us, He does not get tired or give up. Even when we have given up, He continues working. So, do not be discouraged by the wait or setbacks. I believe it is His way of making sure we are prepared to properly accept, handle, walk in, and live in the finished product. We have to be ready for it.

Y’all, I am so grateful God is patient and allows us time to process our fears and doubts. That He overlooks the countless times we self-sabotage opportunities because of our feelings of inadequacy. Yes, I am so grateful that He does not allow our egos to win. I don’t know about yours, but I know my ego can be a bit much at times. Grateful He does not give up on us when we have given up on ourselves.

Grateful and blessed.

Remember, whatever God began—even in your childhood—He will finish.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
