Obedience

Shaun Bradford

When I tell you God will set you straight! Whew!!

Listen… After sharing my previous post, I heard to share the message on my social media accounts. The ones I took a break from. Of course I blocked it thinking it was just me trying to get back on social media. Then I was reminded of what I had shared earlier, I have to remain faithful to my purpose, calling, and assignment. I have to be disciplined enough to see things through. It is not about me. It’s bigger than me. I cannot keep running when things become uncomfortable. I have to learn to block the noise and keep rolling.

If hope, love, kindness, compassion, inspiration, encouragement, motivation, and empowerment is what I desire to see, then I have to put it out there. It is what I have been called to do.

Please pray that I stay on task and do not get sucked into the chaos. Know that I will continue to take breaks when necessary. However, I won’t stay away. I have to keep hope alive and continue advocating for love, peace, equity, and healthier communities and environments. One day we will sing in perfect harmony. Even if it’s only for a few seconds. I can see it. Can’t you?♥️

Faithfulness And Gratitude Unlock Doors

Shaun Bradford

Last year I shared the following quote:

Remain faithful and grateful and God will give you the desires of your heart.♥️

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 28, 2023

I still believe this to be true. If we remain faithful to our purpose and calling, as well as practice gratitude, God will give us the desires of our hearts. He will unlock doors that only He can open. Doors that no man can close. Stay faithful to your assignment. Everything will happen in time.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Having Social Media Withdrawals

Shaun Bradford

Y’all better not be having fun without me.😒🙃 FOMO

Y’all pray for me. I’m having social media withdrawals. As I mentioned in a previous post, I am not completely off social media; however, I am not on the ones I was addicted to. Yes, I was addicted. Was mindlessly scrolling all day long and was wondering why I felt so mentally and emotionally drained. It was too much!

Well, today I am really feeling it. My goal is to stay off until I am disciplined enough to post, like a few posts, scroll, and log off. I know it can be done because I am doing it with TikTok and a few of my Facebook pages. I only follow professional and business accounts on those so they’re kind of boring. Nothing exciting at all. Lol

Y’all, never in a million years did I think I would become addicted to something, especially not social media. Shaking my head. Just pitiful!

Anyhoo… pray my strength in the Lord.♥️

It’s Time

Shaun Bradford

It’s your time! Make it happen!♥️ ~Shaun

Shaun’s Daily Inspiration: March 2023

Such a wonderful memory [referring to a post from 2021] that, for me, is more relevant today than ever before. The stage is set, it’s up to us to make it happen. Don’t miss this opportunity!♥️

Open to where God is taking me. It’s time!

What Are You Waiting For?

Shaun Bradford

Let me guess. You are waiting for the perfect moment to get started. Waiting until you have everything you need, or believe you need, before making your big move. I know. I know because I have been there, and in certain circumstances I am still there. Yes… I am still a work in progress.

Well, from what I have learned from past experiences, there will never be the perfect time to get started or make your next move(s). You just have to do it. You have to do it without seeing the entire picture. You have to do it without knowing the outcome. You have to do it because if you don’t, your life will never change.

Just take the first step and allow God to guide you through the rest. I promise you, you will not fail. Now, I am not saying everything will be smooth and easy. However, I do know God won’t let you fail. He won’t. Trust Him and move.♥️ ~Shaun

You are already equipped with everything you need. You don’t need anything else.

Nine Years

Shaun Bradford

Earlier I shared, “Here I Am.”

Five years ago (March 26, 2019), I wrote the following in my journal:

“Today is the day we separated for good. I can’t believe it’s been four years. Four years. Didn’t think I’d make it four years off of patience.”

Actually, it was patience and a lot of prayer that got me through that time.

Just the day before—March 25, 2019—I was finally able to sign the divorce papers. It had been four long years of me patiently waiting for everything to work out. Of me trying not to rock the boat. Of me being kind, thoughtful and considerate. Yeah… I was all of that. Four years of suffering in silence; biting my tongue; allowing others (those who I thought loved me) treat me like trash for deciding to divorce a “good man” (their words). For deciding to listen to what God had been telling me to do for years, but I was too afraid to. I was never supposed to marry him, yet I did. I knew this. Tried to explain this, only to be treated like I was the most horrible person on earth. So, I waited. I waited four years for him to come to terms with the fact that we were actually divorcing. His lawyer said he was finally ready. I was so happy. Signed the papers, and he refused to sign them. Y’all, I had never experienced anger in my life until that point. Never… and I had had some pretty messed up stuff happen to me before then. However, I never got to the point of anger, until then. Whew!!

As I shared earlier today—I am here, and I am still standing! Y’all, what was meant to destroy me did not take me out! I made it!!!

Forever grateful for God’s love, mercy, and grace. I made it!♥️
