It’s Time!!

NOW is the time to take that leap you’ve been dreaming of taking but have been too afraid to take. Yes, it’s time!

Here are a few hashtags I used when I shared this message on social media—

It’s time! As I said in my previous post, You will win! You were born to do so.♥️

Love you,

You Are A Winner

Good Morning☀️

Guess what?! You were born to win! What may seem like a loss at the moment is a win for the future. God sees and knows things we are not privileged to. So, do not be too discouraged by what appears to be a loss. You will win!

As the song says, “Don’t wait ‘til the battle is over, shout now. You know in the end, you’re gonna win.” — “When The Battle Is Over” by Walter Hawkins (This used to be the song! IYKYK 😁)

And this isn’t about the election, it’s about life in general. YOU will win.

Shared on November 12, 2022 with the caption: “YOU were born to WIN! I love you and God loves you too. Have a blessed day!”

That’s all for now! Wishing you a winning day!🙌🏽♥️

Love you always,

Prepared and Equipped

Shaun Bradford

Last year, I ended my journal entry with this—

“Message—I must surrender and trust God. Fully trust God. Trust that He will not send me somewhere unprepared or unequipped. I must surrender totally.” Shaun’s Journal, November 11, 2023 @ 4:04 PM (just thought I’d add the time☺️)

Not sure who else needs this message, but completely surrender to God.

Also in that entry, I wrote about my fear of making wrong decisions. Well, today I am confident that if I completely surrender to Him, my decisions won’t be wrong.

Never, ever doubt that God’s got you! Never!!

Surrender and do not be afraid. He’s already prepared and equipped you for what’s next.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Service

Shaun Bradford

Good morning, and Happy Veterans Day to all who have served in any branch of the military. Thank you for your service!🫡

Thirty-two years ago, when I enlisted in the Air Force, I was clueless about the path my life would take. It was a journey I was definitely not prepared for, but one I’m glad I took. Until today, although I always hear “Thank you for your service,” I never considered “service” to be service.

Since childhood, I always wanted to be of service to others. However, I thought I would do this through the Peace Corps, volunteering, or later working for the United Nations in some capacity. I never considered the military as service, mostly because it was not what I had imagined as service. Hmmm… I guess taking an oath to sacrifice our comforts and possibly lives for the freedoms of others and our country is an act of service. The ultimate act of service.

Here are a couple of photos from the beginning of my official service career.

I was tired, but I made it! I didn’t know my own strength.

Smiles were not permitted. We meant business.😁

Y’all, I still can’t believe I was in the Air Force. Forever an airman—always aiming high.🇺🇸

A thought…

Thinking about my life and my lifelong mission to serve, does anything ever look like what we imagined? Or happen the way we imagined? When I really think about it, I have been serving in some capacity since childhood. As the oldest child, I served my siblings. As a teenager, I served as our church’s historian. In high school, my sister and I started the first recycling club (this was in the late 80s—we were going to save the planet 😊). I have been doing the work, but never considered it service.

What were/are some of your lifelong dreams and aspirations? When you think about it, have you already been doing them in some capacity? Have you already been living out your dreams?
