Focus On The Promise

Shaun Bradford

Here’s today’s Facebook memory from two years ago.

Facebook Memory: May 3, 2022

How often have you become so distracted by the hows and whens that you lose sight of the promise? Even though you can’t clearly see the outcome, keep believing. Eventually, the promise will come to fruition.♥️

This was two years ago and I still have to remind myself to stay focused on the promise. Unlike then, when I was focused on the how and when, I am now faced with my hesitancy to become uncomfortable. On this side of fifty, I have found myself asking if the promise—my goals, dreams and aspirations—is worth giving up this nice, comfortable space I have created. Believe me, it has been a struggle because the how and when are actually happening now.

I am slowly but surely letting this comfortable space go because I want the promise more than my comfort. Y’all, there is no way God has brought me to the door of the promise and I not walk through it. Nope! Not this time.♥️

This is Year50…

Increase Will Cost You: Are You Sure You Are Ready?

Shaun Bradford

Years ago, everyone was praying the prayer of Jabez. It was posted everywhere. Couldn’t turn without seeing or hearing, “Oh, that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory…” Everyone wanted more. But, did they ever consider that a larger territory, or increase, would mean more responsibility? Did they know it would cost them their comfort, and often their peace?

Be mindful and certain of what you ask for because you just might get it.

Good Night♥️

Again, Trust God

Shaun Bradford

Different day, different month, same message—

Trust God.

You do not have to see the entire picture or know how the story will end. Just trust God to lead the way while you follow.

Again, trust God.

Love you!♥️

Settling Is Easy

Shaun Bradford

Settling for life as it is is much easier than putting in effort to change. Settling is what you eventually look back on thinking, “I should’ve,” “I could’ve,” or “I wish I would’ve.” But… you didn’t!

Facebook Memory: May 2, 2022

Settling is easy. Going after your dream takes time, patience, confidence and courage. Please don’t shortchange yourself because you’re too impatient or too discouraged to wait. You owe it to yourself to become and have everything you’ve ever dreamed.♥️

Yes, settling is easy. It’s easy because it gives you momentary satisfaction. It allows you to sit comfortably and cozy while life and time passes by. But, guess what? That desire for what you truly want, never leaves. Nope. It just lies dormant waiting for the craziest moment to reappear. You know, that moment when you have finally come to terms with this is my life. Then BAM! It’s back!

My advice, do not settle. Yes, the journey may be more difficult than you imagined. However, if there is a dream that continuously nags at you, keep pursuing it. Listen, rest if and when you must, then get back to it. I don’t know about you, but I would rather spend my life chasing my dreams than get to the end and wish that I would have kept trying.

That’s all for now. Wishing you a beautifully blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Never Give Up On Your Goals or Dreams

Shaun Bradford

Never give up on your goals or dreams. They may not happen when or the way you envisioned them to, but they will happen.

This has been my prayer, lately:

Lord, please let me be able to recognize and receive what I dreamed. Please let my ego and stubbornness die so that I can enjoy every blessing You have for me. More of You, less of me.

I know my purpose is too great for me to keep getting in my own way. Yes, sometimes I get in the way of my own blessings, dreams, and goals. Not anymore. It’s time for me to see my goals and dreams fulfilled. There’s so much for me to do!♥️

More of God, less of me…

Mellow Moments

Shaun Bradford

Just dropping in to say “Hello!” I have scrolled through my Facebook memories several times and I am not really feeling what I shared on this day; so, there won’t be a Facebook memory for my first post. Maybe for my second post. I also read through a few journal entries from today, and still nothing. I have to feel somewhat connected to what I share, and today nothing stands out.

By the way, nothing is wrong. I’m not sad or depressed. Just don’t feel like being on “10” this morning. Today is more like a “5,” pretty mellow. I am allowed a moment like this, right? Laughing

Think I will turn over and go back to sleep for a few more minutes.

Wishing you a beautiful day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Expect great things to unexpectedly come your way. Things you will not have to ask for. Things that God feels like blessing you with just because He loves you. Expect them.♥️ ~Shaun

God always has you in mind. Always!
