My Journey With God, No. 1

Shaun Bradford

This time I waited to post!

I had another message scheduled to post just in case I didn’t hear to share a different message at my scheduled posting time. I always try to wait before sharing because I often hear to share a specific message right before it’s time for me to post. Smile. The majority of my messages aren’t just random; they’re God-given. Well, I now realize I don’t have to choose between messages unless I hear not to post the one that I’ve scheduled. I can actually share both.

Today, I’m giving myself permission to share more than one message during my scheduled timeframes. I don’t have to wait and share them hours apart. For some reason, I really dislike sharing back-to-back posts. It’s definitely a barrier I need to overcome.

Anyhoo…

Some people would rather do a video or make a social media post; I’d rather blog.

**For Transparency: I later updated this first section to include more details. My initial post was very vague. When I write, I often assume the reader has already read my previous post before moving on to the next—somewhat like reading a continuous story. Will do better in the future.😘 – Shaun (10.24.2025)

The song of the moment is “Restoration” by The Winans. No lie, I heard it minutes before my other post was scheduled to publish (going to publish both).

The song says—

“Restoration has finally come. Been restored back to my place in God.”

Y’all, I am so grateful for God’s love, mercy, patience, and grace.

The song ends with—

“I’m restored. I’m glad about it. I’ve been renewed. And I’m glad about it.”

Be You, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

Yesterday I wrote—

“Be You. You were never created to fit in. Stand in your fullest glory and be YOU!”

Sometimes I struggle between showing up fully as the passionate, loving person who believes there’s good in everybody and wants to save the world, and suppressing myself so much that I don’t show up at all. When I turned 50, I made a promise to myself, and to that five year old little girl who used to get in trouble for being overly expressive, that I would show up fully! Y’all, it’s taken me a while to get to here, and now that I’m here, I’m not going back.♥️

About Last Night

Shaun Bradford

First, let me answer a few questions that may or may not need answering. Yesterday, I mentioned that Michelle Obama was number four on my Top Ten list of people to meet, and Tyler Perry was number five. So, you may wonder if former President Obama was on my list. Laughing. He was. He actually rounded off the top ten. Yes, he was my number ten. And last night, my number five introduced my number ten. Y’all, it was beautiful! They both gave heartfelt, passionate speeches about what democracy meant to them and the need to protect and preserve it. Also, how our diversity is our strength.

When I opened YouTube this morning, Tyler’s speech was the first video that popped up so why not share it! Take a listen.

That’s all for now! Praying you have a wonderful day and an even better weekend.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

“My Journey With God” is the title I have decided on for one of my extra posts for the day. I may or may not post one daily, but when I do, it will be authentic, not forced.

Trust.

Trust God.

Trust His plan.

That’s the message! Have a wonderfully blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Did I Proclaim To Be God’s Vessel?

Shaun Bradford

Today I second guessed myself. Something I am not proud of because I know what I heard God say to do. Don’t worry, I’m not going to speak in code. I’m going to tell you exactly what happened.

You know how I said I was going to start sharing an afternoon post, and that post would probably be a Facebook memory? Well, that’s what I did. I shared a Facebook post. The thing is, all while I was writing, I kept hearing to wait. But I wanted to get something out around the same time I had posted the days before, and since that memory was there, that’s what I shared. Y’all, not even 30 minutes later, I kept hearing Donald Lawrence’s song, “I Speak Life.” That’s when I heard to share it. Well, I was hesitant to share it because I had made the post already. What would I look like posting back to back?

Ha! As you can see, I went on and shared what I heard about speaking life into yourself as well as those around you. Then, I searched my photos for an image because I knew I had shared a similar message before. Once it was shared, and on all of my platforms, I felt a little disappointed because I thought I was doing so well with being obedient. A little while later, I received a message from someone telling me they needed what I had shared. I needed that confirmation. I needed to know I was on the right path.

Y’all, God is doing something different in me. I can feel it. When I decided I was going to allow Him to use me as He saw fit, I had no idea what I was saying. I’m not backing out, but… Whew!

As I’ve been saying this week, I’ll keep you posted on how things are going. Let’s just call this “My Journey with God In Real Time.” I might shorten it. Hmmm… Maybe that will be the title of this series of posts. We shall see!

As always, thanks for allowing me to share. Love you!♥️
