Trust & Patience Lead To Peace

Shaun Bradford

Many, many moons ago, I ended my Yahoo emails with the following message:

Trust + Patience = Peace
“Enjoy Life 💖”

Circa 2013/2014

Never once considered that would be the message I would live by.

Trust: I trust God’s love, guidance, and protection. I know He has me in His hands. I’m covered.

Patience: Whew! Never knew I could be so patient, but God did.

Peace: There is nothing like it. I was right. Trust and patience, together, lead to peace.

and…

That last part… “Enjoy Life💖” is my daily goal. Life is short, and I try my best not to waste time in negative spaces or feelings.

Y’all, I am so grateful and blessed that God loves me. He leaves behind the tiniest of gems for me to find when they are needed the most. It’s those gems that keep me trusting Him and His word. It’s those gems that keep me going.♥️

Welcome to my world…

Following God’s Lead

Shaun Bradford

In last year’s blog post I wrote— “You do not have to know where God is taking you; just trust Him to lead.”

Listen, God is the Master of plot twists. For years, you can think your life is headed in one direction only to have it shift in another. I have finally learned to stop trying to guess where He’s taking me—which I now realize was a form of control on my end—and just allow Him to move as He sees fit. All I do now is say, “I see You, God,” and keep on moving. I know He has me in His hands; and wherever He’s taking me is somewhere wonderfully beautiful because He loves me and I trust Him.

My advice. Trust God to lead. Release control and let Him take you wherever He’s taking you—because He’s going to do it anyway. Smile. Resisting only causes unnecessary stress and anxiety. As they say, “Let go and let God.” He knows what’s best and He’s got you! Love you!♥️

Don’t You Dare Give Up

Facebook Memory: April 25, 2023

Never give up on your dreams. Endure the process.♥️

Trust God!

Yesterday, or the day before, it was, “Trust the process.” Today’s Facebook memory is, “Endure the process.” Listen, whatever that process is, you have to go through it. There’s no way around it.

Don’t you dare give up! Your purpose is too great!!♥️

Love you,

When It’s Time

Shaun Bradford

“When it’s time,” was the only thing I wrote in my journal entry on this date a year ago (April 21, 2023). Nothing else. Not sure why I wrote it. There was no other context. Maybe God knew I would share it today and someone would need to hear it. Not sure, but it’s here. Be Blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Added “everything happens” to give it a little more context. However, the original message was and is, “When it’s time.”
