Hope, Part 2

Shaun Bradford
You have come too far to give up now. Remain hopeful.

Sometimes when I share, I share my thoughts as I am processing them, or as they are revealed to me. Yesterday, I had one of my “aha” moments about what I truly desired to achieve, not physically but spiritually. It wasn’t until I shared my message about hope on YouTube that I was able to put into words what that actually meant. Here’s what I shared:

“I have decided to build my foundation on hope. Not only hope for myself, but hope for others. It’s my desire to see a more hopeful world. I pray that I inspire others to remain hopeful through everything I do. Whether that’s through my posts, random encounters, or nutrition sessions and cooking demos. I must do my part to keep hope alive. The light is dimming. We cannot afford to let it go out.”

Please join me in keeping hope alive. Love you!♥️

Hello March: I Am Expecting Great Things To Happen

Shaun Bradford

Could not decide between the two memories so I am sharing both.

Facebook Memories

March 1, 2023

Hello March!🌷
New Month
New Blessings
Wishing you a month of peace, love, happiness and blessings.♥️

March 1, 2022

New Day.
New Month.
Never lower your expectations. Always expect something wonderful to happen!🌸

Never stop expecting great things to happen even when you can’t see or feel anything happening. There was a time when I had stopped expecting anything at all. I had lost all hope. So grateful that time was short lived.

Today, I am expecting great things happen because I know God loves me. I can never lose hope again. Not on this side of 50. I have witnessed too many great things happen in my life and for others to believe I have already received and/or experienced all life has to offer. I know there is so much more to come.

Hello March! I am expecting great things to happen.♥️

Blessings Without The Struggle

Shaun Bradford

Today’s blog is a short excerpt from my journal entry written on February 28, 2021. At the time, I happened to be listening to Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Sunday morning message, “Give Us An Awakening.” Here’s what I wrote:

Shaun, the gate is going to be open when you get there. You won’t have to push it open, it will just be open.

Listen, I am at a point where I refuse to accept that there will always be some sort of struggle before a blessing is received. I refuse to accept it as truth. There just has to be a time when we walk straight into our blessing(s). No struggle. No pain. Only bliss. And not in the afterlife.

So, today, instead of speaking in future tense, I am speaking as if it is so.

Shaun, you are at the gate. It’s open. Walk through.

Simple.

Walking through.♥️

Take Care,

Shaun

Trusting God’s Plan

Shaun Bradford

Here is an excerpt from last year’s Hello Sunday, which was written on this date.

Hello Sunday: February 26, 2023

Ultimately, God is in control and His plans reign supreme. I trust Him, completely. 

Here are a few other things I have learned over this short period of time:

  • Life is going to happen. I can try to manage it but I cannot control it.
  • Suppressing my feelings only delays progress. In order to truly move forward, I have to feel and be honest about my feelings.
  • Not to panic when things are not going according to my plan. It only means that God has something different in mind or He’s working a few things out.

Today, God is still in control, and I do trust His plans—whatever they may be (tired of trying to figure them out). Honestly, I am beginning to believe not knowing what God is doing is best. Yep, I’d rather not rack my brain trying to figure things out because I have 1) discovered it’s only a waste of time, 2) it’s a waste of emotional and mental energy, and 3) I can never predict what will happen (plot twists on 10!). So, yes, I’m going to leave my life in God’s hands and allow Him to do His job. I know whatever He has planned will ultimately be in my favor (because He loves me), better than I imagined (again, because He loves me), and all for His glory and purpose. Yes, it’s all about Him.

Praying you have a lovely day and wonderful week. Love you!♥️
