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,

My Journey With God, No. 4

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.

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford
God is so amazing!

Happy Sunday!

This morning I’m singing, “A wonderful change has come over me.”

Last week, my week began with Tamela Mann’s song, “Change Me,” stuck in my head for two days. I wrote how I felt my spirit and soul worshiping God. Y’all, it was such a wonderful experience, something I had never experienced before.

Well, this morning I woke up singing, “A wonderful change has come o-o-ver meeeee.” Smiling

As I mentioned last week, I am not sure what God is doing in my life, but it’s something extraordinary and it’s already been very much felt.

Forever grateful.

Beyond blessed.

Thank you so much for reading. I pray you have a beautiful Sunday and a wonderful week.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 2

Shaun Bradford

Here’s a memory that is so worth sharing. Five years ago, I wrote—

“The only way I can move forward is to face my fears and stop sabotaging opportunities.”

Five years later (today)…

I’m trying not to laugh, because it’s definitely not funny, but I don’t know why I thought my fears would magically disappear. Call me naive, but I assumed that if I just prayed about it, everything would be fine. I didn’t realize I needed to actively put myself out there—joining groups, sitting on committees, and creating TikTok and YouTube videos—before the fear would start to subside. Now, don’t get me wrong, prayer helped, but it did not replace me facing my fears head on.

Now, I would be lying if I said fear doesn’t still pop up, because believe me it does; however, it’s not as intense as it was. I know y’all are probably tired of me talking about how my life changed after turning 50, but it really did. And it wasn’t until last week, when I decided to make a TikTok video, that I noticed the anxiety was gone. Nothing but God!

Listen, when I tell you I have been experiencing so many “God-moments” lately. Y’all, He’s working, and not only can I feel it, but I can also see it.

Thanks for following my journey.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
