The Best: God’s Best

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Even though it may be tempting, now is not the time to settle for anything less than God’s best.

Can’t you hear Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers singing “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Well, I surely can. Smile. The song says—

God’s gonna really blow your mind
He’s gonna make it worth your time
For all of the trouble you’ve been through
The blessings doubled just for you

Guess what?
The best
Is yet to come …

You ain’t seen nothin’
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Listen, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hang in there. The best—God’s best for YOU—is worth the wait.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**On another note, this was too cute not to share. It’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 2, 2015—

“I took one of those FB quizzes about “what is your gift?” I got music. It said that you can channel a song for any occasion. Lord knows that’s true! Every morning and all through the day, a song is playing in my head. I actually mean- ALL day long!”

Well… it’s true. My life.☺️

Phenomenal, Is Who I Am

Shaun Bradford

Found this beautiful reminder by Dr. Maya Angelou in my in my saved photos (April 30, 2020). “I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.”

“Phenomenal Woman” by Dr. Maya Angelou

Such a beautiful find!💎

And timely!

I’m currently reading Dr. Angelou’s book, “A Song Flung Up To Heaven.” I read it ages ago and recently found it after my mom passed. It was packed away with her things. When I read it the first time, I read it without stopping to soak in her stories. Now that I’m older and in the process of finding my space in this over-50 community and the work that I’m finding myself drawn to, her stories are hitting differently. I see her.

Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Advocacy. Politics. Equality. Human Rights. Freedom.

Love. Life. Being.

Art.

Music.

Rhythm.

I feel this.

It’s who I am.

Yes…

A phenomenal woman.

That’s me.♥️

My Journey With God, No. 87

Shaun Bradford

These last few weeks, I have been sitting in God’s presence and watching Him work—not through social media, but in my life and through the lives of those around me. Y’all, I am forever in awe of His goodness, kindness, grace, and love. I am blessed. We are blessed.♥️

God’s Hands

Shaun Bradford
Rest, you are covered.

Good Morning☀️

Place everything—your fears, worries, needs, wants, and dreams—in God’s hands and leave them there. He has already worked everything out in your favor, from your current needs to your future dreams. Yes, leave them in God’s hands and rest.

I pray that your day is just as amazing as you are. You deserve it!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

The Process, Obedience, and Timing

Shaun Bradford

The posts I’ve shared over the last three years on this date are all true and interdependent. Trusting the process—God’s process—requires both our obedience and our trust in His timing. All three!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust God♥️

The Countdown

Shaun Bradford
ONLY speaking blessings over my life.🌸🌿

Good Morning☀️

The countdown to my 52nd birthday has officially begun. Yay!!!🎉 Although it’s two months away, I’m already excited like it’s happening next week or in a few days. For those who don’t know, I love celebrating my birthdays. No matter the age, I still feel like a little kid turning a year older. I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do this year. However, whatever I decide to do will be wonderful because I will make it so.🥰 I’m thinking a floral theme this year—something light and summery.😊🌸

Yessss… Year52 is loading!!!🙌🏽🎉🤩

Wishing you a glorious day!♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Be Happy

Shaun Bradford
Shared in 2021

What’s the saying? “Shake the dust off your feet.” If you want to be truly happy—that’s exactly what you must do—shake the dust off your feet. You cannot continue to allow others’ negative energy, thoughts, or feelings to pull you into their abyss of despair. You can only empathize with them for so long. As I mentioned in my earlier post, happiness is a choice. Choose happiness—YOUR happiness.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
