When God’s Got You

Shaun Bradford

Short story…

Earlier, I was somewhat in panic mode because things weren’t happening as I envisioned. They actually started to fall apart last night, so this morning the pressure felt even worse. That’s when I heard, “Breathe. You’ve got this, and God’s got you.” Hence, the reason for my previous post. I knew if I needed a little encouragement today, someone else probably did too. Well, after posting the message on all my platforms, things began to fall in place!!! No lie..cap or whatever you want to call it! Yes, I’m emotional right now. Y’all…

When I tell you God is soooooo good! So good! I am truly blessed. Will share the rest of my testimony later. Today is We Are Thriving’s (my nonprofit) formal debut. It’s live and active!

Beyond Blessed♥️

This is only the beginning. I took the first step—left perfectionism behind—and I’m trusting God to do the rest. 🙏🏽

Here’s a motivational message I listened to this morning. When I tell you God’s word is always on time. It was exactly what I needed, and I didn’t even have to search for it, it just happened to pop up on YouTube.☺️

“Winning Against Yourself”, words by Maya Angelou (not sure of the authenticity (with AI and all), but it’s very motivating.

The Truest Test

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

As I suggested four years ago, one of the truest test of our faith is our ability to stay focused on God (His guidance is best) when our current situation doesn’t match our dreams or vision. My advice is keep your blinders on at all times… ALL times. Blinders will keep you from becoming distracted by what’s happening around you, as well as prevent unnecessary delays. Listen, I don’t know about you but I’m tired of the delays, especially when they are very much preventable.

From here on, eyes forward and blinders on. God has so many wonderful things planned for you, but you must stay focused.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Miracles Still Happen

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Miracles still happen, today. However, you must believe they do.

The song I’m hearing as I write is “I Believe God.” The song says–

“I believe God. I believe God. Ask what you will and it shall be done. Trust and obey. For there’s no other way. I believe.. I believe God.”

Do you believe?

Guess what?!

It’s done!♥️

Trust Yourself To Make It Happen

Shaun Bradford

I often share screenshots of previous posts instead of copying and pasting the captions so you can get the full effect of what was written. Sometimes, the hashtags I used are more meaningful than the text itself. Here’s what I shared two years ago (October 30, 2022).

Side note: Please feel free to let me know if you are not able to view any of my photos or links. I’ll never know unless I’m told.☺️

Trust yourself to make your dreams come true. I truly believe if God gave you the dream, then He gave you the ability to make it happen. First, you must stop trying to figure out how it will happen and start moving with what you have. Move, and God will guide you through the rest.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Obedience Matters

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Yesterday, I wrote, “God has spoken. He has already advised you on what needs to be done, next. Now it’s up to you to respond accordingly.”

Well, a portion of that message was taken from a caption I had shared the year before (October 29, 2023). Let’s just say I created a better graphic and repurposed the caption. Smile. Although I made it a bit cuter, the message was still the same, and it was actually for me. Yep! That message was for me.

You see, a few weeks ago, I received very specific instructions from God about something I needed to do. I followed through, but only to a certain extent. What I failed to do was follow through with confidence. So, afterwards, I was easily persuaded to modify what I was told to fit someone else’s plan. Well, almost daily, I kept hearing I needed to be obedient and do what I was told.

Fast forward to yesterday—after coming across my Facebook memory about already hearing what God had said and needing to respond accordingly, I did just that. I did what I was originally advised to do, and when I did, the person responded that God had already given them that same message. Hmmm…

Listen, be obedient. You don’t have to know why you’re being asked to do something, just do it. Just be obedient.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 4

Shaun Bradford

Trust in God.

That’s the song I’m currently hearing. It’s like my thoughts come with their own background music, and right now, The Winans’ “Trust In God” is it.

The song says—

“Just look up. Tomorrow’s sun.. will let you know.. your life’s not done. Just look around.. love’s pouring down. Trust in God.”

Listen, trust Him.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Quick Message For You

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a quick message for you before your day begins.

“Be proactive instead of reactive. Pray ahead of the devil!” – Bishop Dale Bronner

Covered. I’m God’s child!!

Quite a message, huh?! Be proactive, not reactive.

Baby, we need to get ahead of whatever the enemy has set up to disrupt our day. Lord, send your angels before us to block any- and everything that’s meant to ruin our day, stop progress, discourage us, break us, or cause us to act out of character. Lord, this is the day that You’ve made and we will rejoice and be glad in it… all day long! Yes…ALL day long. Amen

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed Monday! Listen, God’s got us!!♥️

Never Give Up

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

I shared the Facebook memory below six years ago, and I still believe it to be true today. If you keep putting in the work and stay focused, in time, your dreams and goals will come true. The key is to never give up.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hang in there. God’s got you.
