Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Hello! Happy Sunday!

“Stay open for change. Be willing to accept the new thing God is doing.” Joel Osteen

That quote was the first post in my Facebook memories under August 4th.

God is doing a new thing. At times it may feel uncomfortable, but it’s necessary. When I woke up, the first thought I had was how did I end up here? Followed by, why me? Of all the people God could have chosen, He chose me to experience everything I have experienced. Why?

Have you ever asked yourself the same questions or similar? Why didn’t he choose someone else?

Then, I opened my memories and that’s the first message—be open for change and willing to accept the new thing God is doing.

Now, my question is, “God, what are you about to do now?”

Well, here’s what I am going to do. I am going to do what I have been doing for a while now and trust God. Trust Him wholeheartedly. Here’s a screenshot of the second post from last year. Smiling because it’s the answer to my questions, all of my questions—all of our questions. It’s not about our will but God’s.

“Draw Me Close To You/Thy Will Be Done” by Marvin L. Winans was the song I was singing.

I want to end with this, whatever it is you’re going through, give it to God, including your heart. I don’t know about you, but it’s easier for me to let go of things my heart isn’t attached to. But it’s something that’s so necessary for us to grow and move forward. We trust God with everything else, why not trust Him with our hearts? Haven’t we figured it out yet that God is Thee Heart Mender. Allow Him to do what only He can do. Then… Stay open and be willing to receive and accept the new thing He is doing. Talking to myself, too. Smile.

Well, that’s all I have right now. I woke up a little after 2:30 AM and decided to write. So, I’m going to go ahead and share, then roll over and go back to sleep. I pray you have an exceptionally blessed day.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

I Still Believe

Shaun Bradford

On this date last year, I was listening to Pastor Joel Osteen’s message, “I Still Believe.” Here are a few notes I wrote down:

My Notes: August 1, 2023

Today, I am still saying, “Lord, I still believe.”♥️ ~Shaun

Here’s the link to the message if you’d like to listen: I Still Believe.

Obedience Saves

Shaun Bradford

I am so much stronger and better equipped because I listened and obeyed. –Shaun

Shared last year, July 31, 2023

Hey y’all! So, I had written several paragraphs—several long paragraphs—and when I finished, I heard not to share any of it. And I obeyed.

Obedience.

Growth.

I’m listening God.

Praying you have another beautiful day.♥️

Love you always,

Focus On The Promise

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning! Here’s today’s Facebook memories.

Facebook Memory: July 30, 2021 (with TikTok’s assistance☺️)

Focus on the promise. I repeat– FOCUS ON THE PROMISE. Because focusing on the process will only weigh you down. Be Blessed 🙏🏽❤️

The video on Facebook was too blurry to screenshot so I went to the original source, TikTok. Which isn’t that much better.😂

Ha! The whole process of having to retrieve the screenshot is the perfect example of me focusing on the promise, not the process. Even creating that TikTok account was part of the process.

There’s a promise God’s given me, and no matter how daunting or tedious the process is at times, I am still focused on the promise. As you can see from the screenshot, my video didn’t get any likes and barely any views (143), but I kept posting anyway. And for those wondering, the promise isn’t to be seen or become “famous”, but to spread hope and love to every inch of the earth through everything I touch and do. That’s the promise I have been given. It will happen. Not necessarily directly through me, but through others. Y’all, we’re all connected. One day that harmony will happen. For those who don’t know, “I’d Like to Teach The World to Sing (in Perfect Harmony),” is the song that sparked it all. That and President Jimmy Carter. So, yeah, I am still focused on the promise, over 45 years later. I was just a baby when it all began.

Stay focused. Whatever dreams, visions , and promises God’s placed in you will happen. Maybe not the way you envision, but according to God’s plan (which is ultimately better than you’ve ever imagined — I truly believe this).

Well, that’s all for now. Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

OAN: I haven’t posted much on TikTok lately because they started removing the music from my posts. Which is one of the reasons I created a YouTube channel.

Obedience and Peace

Shaun Bradford

Hello! Praying you had a wonderful weekend. Today’s message is, “Obedience leads to peace.”

Lately, I have noticed how much more peaceful life has become since I decided to obey God the first time. Not the third or fourth time, or after I have asked for several confirmations, but the first time.

If peace is what you seek, be obedient. Love you.♥️ ~Shaun

God knows what He is doing and where He’s taking you. Trust Him, the first time.

Believe In Yourself

Shaun Bradford

Believe in yourself and your abilities. If God put the dreams and goals inside of you, know that you are capable of achieving them. You got this!♥️ ~Shaun

Don’t Resist The Flow

Shaun Bradford

When God moves, He moves. Be careful not to resist the flow. Relax and go with it. He’s taking you somewhere special. Love you!♥️ ~Shaun

God’s plan is always best.

The Impossible IS Possible

Shaun Bradford

Here is what I wrote in last year’s “Hello Sunday”—

Hello Sunday, July 23, 2023

God has a way of making what seems impossible, possible. Trust Him.♥️ ~Shaun

When I shared it, I added the following— “… with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

All things are possible. Believe!♥️
