Stay True To Who You Are

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I pray that you’re well.🌸

Here’s one of my Facebook memories from three years ago (June 13, 2022).

“Nothing that is truly for you will require you to betray yourself in order to achieve it.”

I believe this quote to be true. You will never have to betray yourself for whatever is meant for you. What’s meant for you will align with your purpose, which can only be fulfilled by being authentically you. So, stay true to who you are. Everything will come at the right time and fall in line. Believe me, God’s got you!

I pray you have a wonderful day and beautiful weekend. May both be filled with love, joy, peace, and laughter.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Nothing Wasted

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re doing well.🌸

If you don’t remember anything else, remember this—nothing is ever wasted. Not one thing. Not a single tear. Not a single heartbreak. Not a single setback. Nothing is wasted.

Live!✨

I love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re doing well.

With the help of my Facebook memory from last year (June 8, 2024), I’m going to keep this one short and sweet.

The message…

Keep pursuing your dreams! Your purpose is much too great for you to settle.

That’s it!

I pray that you have a beautifully blessed day filled with love, joy, laughter, and peace.♥️

I love you,

The Time Is Now

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I pray all is well.🌸

Here’s a Facebook memory from June 4, 2022. The message is still the same but a little more pronounced nowadays. It seems like every week, someone I know or someone close to them has died. No lie, almost every week. I haven’t become numb to it, but it has made me live life a bit differently. Everything I thought was so urgent or concerning isn’t so anymore.

This memory is a message indeed. And before I continue, I must add that I’m not sad or depressed. I’m just beginning to view life differently and move in a manner that brings me the most fulfillment. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so the time is now!

I pray you have the most amazing day! May it be filled with lots of love, laughter, and joy.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

**P.S. My posting schedule hasn’t changed. I was up late working on something and fell asleep, so I missed writing earlier. I guess my body needed the rest. It is my Wellness Wednesday.☺️ Maybe I’ll start scheduling all my posts to keep the time consistent. We shall see.😊

Trust, Peace, And Patience

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸

“Peace is trusting God while patiently waiting through the process …”

“You cannot have peace without patience.”

That’s what I shared four years ago. Today, I feel it more than ever as this side of 50 ticks down. The only way I can maintain the level of peace I have is first to trust God, then remember to be patient. Both are key! There’s so much God is doing while I’m waiting and moving—because I’m definitely moving—through the processes to get to where He’s taking me. Yes, where God’s taking me. I used to try to figure it out, which caused my impatience; however, now, I move and operate under the flow of His guidance.

That’s trust.

That’s patience.

That’s peace.

I pray your patience is bringing you peace. Please have a beautiful day. May it be filled with love, happiness, and joy. And if you need a little more patience, may it be filled with patience too. Smile.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 93

Shaun Bradford

I’m built to stand on my own ten. So, I’m good. –Shedeur Sanders

I saw a snippet of an interview with Shedeur Sanders expressing how all his drafted teammates were drafted in pairs or more and had each other to lean on, but he didn’t. He’s in it alone. The clip ended with his quote above—basically, he’s saying he’s built to hold his own.

When I tell you I felt what he said to my core! I’ve spent my entire life feeling like I have had to do things alone—to hold my own. Not because I wanted to, but because I was raised to feel like it was expected of me. When you are the oldest and in charge of everything and everyone younger than you, there is no one else to depend on. You are it! So, you learn to stand alone. I believe this is one of the reasons I have a difficult time expressing emotions like sadness, grief, and even pain. Expressing them makes me feel vulnerable and as if I can’t handle them on my own. BUT… I’m working on it. Little by little, I am beginning to open up and express those feelings, not only in writing but verbally. I am slowly realizing and accepting that it’s okay to let others know when I am not feeling strong. I don’t have to hold my own if I don’t have to.

Y’all, I am so grateful that God continues to reveal areas where I still need healing and pruning. I look forward to meeting the woman I will be a year from now and even ten years from now. (Just another nugget of encouragement I’m leaving myself. Girl, you’re growing!☺️.)

God, thank You for loving me.♥️

The Best: God’s Best

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

Even though it may be tempting, now is not the time to settle for anything less than God’s best.

Can’t you hear Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers singing “The Best Is Yet To Come”? Well, I surely can. Smile. The song says—

God’s gonna really blow your mind
He’s gonna make it worth your time
For all of the trouble you’ve been through
The blessings doubled just for you

Guess what?
The best
Is yet to come …

You ain’t seen nothin’
You ain’t seen nothin’ yet

Listen, you ain’t seen nothing yet! Hang in there. The best—God’s best for YOU—is worth the wait.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**On another note, this was too cute not to share. It’s an excerpt from my journal entry written on May 2, 2015—

“I took one of those FB quizzes about “what is your gift?” I got music. It said that you can channel a song for any occasion. Lord knows that’s true! Every morning and all through the day, a song is playing in my head. I actually mean- ALL day long!”

Well… it’s true. My life.☺️
