Bruce Van Horn

Shaun Bradford

Finally checked the rest of my Facebook memories and came across this gem.

♥️

On August 8, 2018, I shared Bruce Van Horn’s (author and life coach) quote above. Here’s the caption I added when I shared it.

Today’s social media find. I’ve found this to be true. The more I focus on why I want my dreams to come true, the more things fall into place. When I focus on the “hows,” I tend to worry and become anxious. I’m learning more and more to let go and let God handle the “hows.”

Two Questions: Why do you want your dreams to come true? What’s your purpose?

Right now my heart is heavy. I had no idea Bruce Van Horn had passed away. I had been following him for years on Twitter. The last tweet I remember seeing was a video of him letting us know that his cancer had returned, but he was hopeful. Over the last year or so he’d cross my mind and I’d say a little prayer. I do this often when people cross my mind, especially ones I haven’t seen post in a while. Well, after seeing his quote, I decided to check his Facebook page. He passed away last August. His son made his final post on August 27, 2023.

I’m not sure when I began following him or how I stumbled upon his profile, but I’m so grateful I did. He was a very gentle soul. Very kind and encouraging. His words of encouragement help me get through some really tough times. I am forever grateful he crossed my path.

Rest in peace, Bruce Van Horn.🙏🏽🕊️♥️

Wait With Expectancy

Shaun Bradford

Hello!

For the last two years, I have shared the same message—“Expect great things to happen.” Today, the message is still the same.

Facebook Posts (captions only):

How are you waiting? With or without expectation? You know, “Whatever happens, happens,” OR “I’m expecting exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think.”

Me. I’m doing the latter. I’m EXPECTING great things to happen!💃🏽♥️

Today’s 8/8. New day. New week. New beginnings.🌸

August 8, 2023

While you are waiting, expect to receive. Expect to receive what you are waiting for.♥️ 8.8 New Beginnings

That’s all for now. Wishing you a wonderful day!♥️

Good Night (19)

Shaun Bradford
Remain hopeful. Blessings are headed your way.

Since I started the day off with a song, I figured it would only be appropriate to end the night with a song. Here’s what’s currently playing in my head.

“God’s Got A Blessing (with My Name On It)” by Norman Hutchins

Smile. God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it!♥️

Good Night,

Shaun

Feeling Free

Shaun Bradford

Welcome back!

♥️

Y’all, there is no greater feeling than the freedom to be. The freedom to just be me.

Thinking about how I woke up this morning and shared my random song. That was me just being me. Me loving life without feeling awkward or wondering what others would think or say.

This wasn’t always the case.

When I tell you I am so in awe of how my life has changed. One thought/request for this side of 50 to be different and it happened.

God is so amazing.

Loving the freedom to just be me.♥️

The Glory Of Love

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Y’all, I am lying here chuckling to myself. It’s almost 3:00 AM (yes, I wake up and write at random times) and I woke up with the most random song playing over and over in my head, “Glory of Love” by Peter Cetera—and no, I didn’t fall asleep with the tv on. Now, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t hear the entire song. No, I actually heard, “la-da-da-da…fight for your honor.” You know, in that nasally, autotunish voice. If you know the song then you know what I am talking about. Well, that was the part I heard and remembered so I had to look the rest up…

Y’all, that song is nearly 40 years old! How does the mind retrieve these things? Like, for real. Laughing

Anyhoo… here’s the link to the song if you care to listen— “Glory of Love.” It’s a beautiful love song. The kind that will have you smiling and feeling all loved—well, that’s how I felt when I listened to it.🥰 The video (in the link) is from the original Karate Kid movie. Back then, all the girls I knew wanted Ralph Macchio fighting for our honor. I wonder what he’s doing nowadays. Gonna send up a few prayers for him since he’s on my mind.

Well, that’s all I have for you now. Will schedule this to post at the regular time. Right now, I’m about to do what I do and go back to sleep. Hopefully, you’re still deep in a restful sleep. Praying you have a lovely day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
