2025 Is Already Different

Shaun Bradford

So, this year is already starting differently. I decided to watch something I believed would set the tone for this year. Well, what I wasn’t expecting was the tone I received. Laughing because I thought I was watching something that would empower me, but instead, I was introduced to the kind of husband (yes, I’m getting married again) I desired. Y’all, I’m looking for my Jimmy Carter!

Talk about an “Aha” moment!

Before 2024 ended, I said I was going to focus on my personal life this year. Well, I guess this is the beginning.

When I think about it, Jimmy Carter was the kind of person I’ve been seeking since I knew what love was and could be. I mean, why not? He’s been my inspiration since I was in grade school. My purpose—to make this world a better place through love, hope, peace, kindness, and service—began with him. And his relationship with Rosalynn was what I’d always dreamed of having. So many doubt that kind of relationship and love is possible. However, I have never doubted it. I’ve always believed it to be possible. Because I truly believe in love.

Soooo… it’s been Jimmy all this time. Wow!

Here’s an Instagram trailer for the Hulu and Disney+ special I just watched—“Jimmy Carter: A Full Life.” Enjoy!♥️ ~Shaun

Yep, I’m already setting the tone for this year! No more going with the flow.

Welcome to my world!♥️

Stay Covered

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I shared the same image (Stay Humble) for two years with the same caption— “2023/2024 is loading… Stay Humble.”

Well, this year I have decided to switch it up. This year’s caption will read—

2025 is loading…
Stay Covered.

Listen, 2025 is not the year to venture out without God covering your every move—from your words to your relationships to new endeavors. God knows and sees everything, including the thoughts, intentions, and hearts of others. So, please stay covered. Use your discernment. If it doesn’t feel right, it’s not right. Period. With that said, when God places an opportunity before you, and He says, “Take it, it’s yours,” don’t ask a million questions—take it!

I don’t know about you, but I can already tell that 2025 is going to be one eventful year—the roller coaster ride is loading. My plans are to follow the advice I gave above. I’m staying covered, using my discernment, seizing opportunities, and allowing God to lead.

Thank you for reading. I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 44

Shaun Bradford

Yes, it’s after 3:00 AM and I’m awake. My new sleep schedule is a work in progress. Plus, it’s the weekend! Smile

Anyway, “trust” is on my mind. I was thinking about how I’ve had my guard up most of my life because life experiences have taught me not to trust too easily. There were times when I let my guard down for people I believed I could trust, only to be disappointed and heartbroken later. What hurt even worse was finding out they never had my best interest at heart. They were always out for themselves.

Well, God has been working on me in this area. His message has been constant—trust Him. Trust Him to bring people into my life who I can trust. This also means trusting Him when He says and shows me that someone doesn’t mean me well and must go.

So, I’m going to do something new. I’m going to lower my guard and trust God to bring people into my life who I can trust. If He says I can trust them, then I can trust them.♥️ ~Shaun

Good Night (32)

Shaun Bradford

As we wind down for the night and prepare for the upcoming holiday week, be sure to surround yourself with love. Love and be loved.

My daughter arrived home this morning. I’m looking forward to loving on her and my son this week and allowing them to love on me. Yes, I’m going to sit back and take it all in. We’ve already had a lot of laughs today. Y’all, they crack me up. I just love them!🥰🥰

I pray you have a restful night and a wonderfully blessed week.

Love you,

Shaun

Releasing the Limits

Shaun Bradford

I KNOW y’all probably think I’m a little loony because of the way I praise and interact with God, but I promise you I’m not. This connection I have with Him is surreal.

I shared my last post, “Welcome to Freedom Fridays,” almost 3 hours ago. How about I just opened YouTube, and the first sermon was Pastor Steven Furtick’s message “Freedom From What’s Holding You Back,” which was posted five hours ago, hours before I wrote my post. Well, it gets even better! Y’all, why was he talking about the limits we keep placing on God and how they’re holding us back?! In my post, I wrote, “I’m releasing the limits I’ve placed on myself and the ones I have placed on God.” I had no idea he had already preached this in a sermon. Talk about confirmation! So, yes, the limits must go!

Here’s the link: Freedom From What’s Holding You Back

You see, this is why I have to write more. Soooo much happens between posts. So many testimonies and revelations to be shared. Listen, get you a relationship with God. He’s so amazing!!

Love you!♥️
