Restructuring For The Future

Shaun Bradford

Two years ago, I created a cute graphic for a quote I originally shared on March 30, 2019. Below are the captions I shared with both.

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 30, 2022

What was, was. Something new lies ahead that looks absolutely nothing like your past. As Bishop Jakes used to say, “Get ready! Get ready! Get ready!” Restructure for what lies ahead.

Facebook Memory: March 30, 2019

Happy Saturday! Here’s today’s social media find. This quote put everything into perspective. I have to start living in my purpose – for where I desire to be. In 2018 my goal was to – reflect, regroup, refocus and rebuild. Well I accomplished the first three, but I never changed my techniques to rebuild. I was using the same strategies I had been using for years. So when I didn’t see any real change, I became frustrated. Needless to say, 2018 wasn’t the year I thought it would be. This morning I had my “Ahha” moment. I need a new game plan based on where I’m going. Because where I’m going looks nothing like where I’ve been. I cannot rebuild on an old foundation. 👁

Both were great messages! Great reminders to restructure for where we are going, not where we have already been. That space and time no longer exists. We must not fear the unknown. The way has already been paved. Was paved long before we existed. All we have to do is take the first steps forward, and God will guide us through the rest. Love you!♥️

Get ready! Get ready! Get ready!😄

You Will Receive Beauty For Your Ashes

Shaun Bradford
Hang in there! God’s got you.

To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

Isaiah 61:3 NKJV

This scripture reminds me of Commissioned’s song, “Cry On.” The song says—

When your burdens seem to weigh you down. Or the road—it seems too far to carry on. Just look to the hills, you will find your help whence cometh from the Lord, hold on. Even when you feel you can’t go on. (Even if you have to moan.) Let your soul cry out to the Lord.

Cry on. God understands your tears. He knows how much that you can bear. Your faintest cry He’ll hear. Cry on. When there’s nothing else to say. He’ll wipe all your tears away.
Lyrics: Genius.com

I have good news! Your tears won’t last. They’ll eventually dry up and be replaced with joy and laughter. You will receive beauty for all of your ashes.

Wishing you many blessings.♥️

Still Learning and Growing

Shaun Bradford

So, I am not sure if I was supposed to share that last blog. After publishing it, I felt the urge to pull it. Felt like that message was just for me, for my eyes only. I left it because anyone who received it by email got it so there was no sense in deleting it. Yesterday, there was a video I watched that I really wanted to share with y’all but I kept hearing it was just for me. The only person I was meant to share it with was my daughter. Sometimes I get so excited about the things God does and shows me that I just want to share them with the world. Ugh…I’m learning.

Anyhoo… I have to let it go. What’s done is done. And to be honest, God knew I was going to post it, right? Smile

Gotta love life…

Here’s another post that was shared on this date:

Live. Learn. Grow.🌱

Still learning. Still growing.

The joys of being human. Very humbling.

God Has The Answer

Shaun Bradford

Last night I shared the following on YouTube, “When in doubt, look to God. He always has the answer.”

Y’all, I am speechless, emotional, feel woozy, can’t even comprehend what is happening because here is one of today’s Facebook memories:

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 29, 2023

You ARE the answer.♥️

Y’all, I am lying here bawling. Not sure why this has hit me so hard. Is it because He actually answered so fast? Like, I didn’t even expect an answer. Didn’t even realize I had a question to be answered. But evidently my soul did. Whew!! I was just writing what I heard while I was creating the post. I’m not sure how to process this one. I definitely need a moment. Is this an answer to a future question? Speechless

Y’all… I had no idea I was the one in doubt. Just mind blowing. Yeah… I need a minute for this one. God has never, ever responded like this. So clearly. Without any room for doubt. Whew!

I pray you have a wonderful day! And Happy Good Friday to everyone celebrating.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Gratitude and Grace

Shaun Bradford

Took a moment to check my social media accounts (now scheduled). Hadn’t checked my Facebook memories in a while. I shared so many great memories on this date. The one that I have decided to share refers to a pivotal moment in my life. I can’t say it enough, I am truly blessed. I am so grateful God love me.

Facebook Memory: March 28, 2019

Good Morning! Wanted to share one of things that changed my life. Almost 5 years ago, I discovered Oprah and Deepak’s meditation series. I was leery about meditating because of what I had heard as a child, meditation was “of the devil.” I’m soooo happy I let those past teachings go. Meditation isn’t satanic. Meditation allowed me to clear my mind of the chaos going on around me, and listen, listen to God. After the first series I really did become more grateful. Also, I always believed everyone was connected, but afterwards, I knew we were connected. I finally felt like everything I personally thought and felt about my relationship with God, wasn’t crazy. It all made sense.

I haven’t participated in a series in a while. I still receive invites when a new one begins. Today’s session is about gratitude (mostly all of them are about gratitude). When I began expressing my gratitude, even for the tiniest thing (like finding a parking space), God began to bless me. It’s true, when praises go up, blessings come down. No, I’m not rich financially, but I’m rich spiritually. Spiritual blessings are indescribable. The bond I have with God is like no other. I’m so grateful He loves me. I’m so grateful for His mercy and grace. I’m so grateful He changed me. I love my new life.♥️

Y’all, God is so amazing. And no, I am not crazy, we are all connected. Smile♥️

Be Blessed,

Shaun
