Let God Be Your Strength

Shaun Bradford

Singing Marvin Sapp’s, “He Has His Hands On You.”

The song says (Lyrics by LyricFind)—

Sometimes you feel so alone
Like a child lost with no home
They keep telling you to be strong
But you say, when will it end, when will I win?
But just know He has His hands on you

Earlier today, I shared this quote in one of my Facebook groups:

@robdanceofficial on Instagram

I added the following caption—

“Y’all, it’s time for us to be happy. We’ve already proven a thousand times over that we’re strong. Now, it’s happiness here on out.”

And it is. We’re in God’s hands. There’s no need for us to be strong when He is our strength. It’s time for us to be happy.

Whatever you’re holding on to, give it to God. Give it to God and rest in Him. He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

2025 Is Already Different

Shaun Bradford

So, this year is already starting differently. I decided to watch something I believed would set the tone for this year. Well, what I wasn’t expecting was the tone I received. Laughing because I thought I was watching something that would empower me, but instead, I was introduced to the kind of husband (yes, I’m getting married again) I desired. Y’all, I’m looking for my Jimmy Carter!

Talk about an “Aha” moment!

Before 2024 ended, I said I was going to focus on my personal life this year. Well, I guess this is the beginning.

When I think about it, Jimmy Carter was the kind of person I’ve been seeking since I knew what love was and could be. I mean, why not? He’s been my inspiration since I was in grade school. My purpose—to make this world a better place through love, hope, peace, kindness, and service—began with him. And his relationship with Rosalynn was what I’d always dreamed of having. So many doubt that kind of relationship and love is possible. However, I have never doubted it. I’ve always believed it to be possible. Because I truly believe in love.

Soooo… it’s been Jimmy all this time. Wow!

Here’s an Instagram trailer for the Hulu and Disney+ special I just watched—“Jimmy Carter: A Full Life.” Enjoy!♥️ ~Shaun

Yep, I’m already setting the tone for this year! No more going with the flow.

Welcome to my world!♥️

Making Memories

Shaun Bradford

Shaun’s Journal Entry: December 18, 2021

“There is no such thing as perfect timing. Make memories now.”

I shared this image when I posted the quote on TikTok (December 18, 2021).

I selected the song “Good Memories” by Cochren & Co. to accompany the image above. It’s a lovely song that brings back so many sweet memories. I hope it brightens your day as it has mine.♥️ ~Shaun

Here’s the song’s video.

In God’s Hands

Shaun Bradford
Breathe….

You are in God’s hands. You’re covered. Right now, I can hear Marvin Sapp singing, “He Has His Hands On You.”

Marvin begins his song with these words—

“A lot of us in this house tonight, we are on the potter’s wheel right now and it’s not comfortable. It doesn’t feel good. But we need to just take solace in the fact that even though it may not feel good right now, as long as I’m in His hands I know that everything is going to be alright.” –Marvin Sapp

In God’s hands is such a wonderful place to be. After I shared my last post, “My Journey With God, No. 38,” God led me to read my journal entry written two years after I made the Facebook post (see previous post for reference—the journal entry date was December 18, 2020). After reading that entry, I heard, “There’s life after heartbreak.” He went on to show me a few other things. Things that gave me a sense of peace and hope.

This is what happens when we’re in God’s hands, when we’re covered. He will always send comfort, we just have to be open to receive it. And what I love about God—because He’s had to do this with me many of times—is that He doesn’t force us to receive the comfort when it’s offered. Instead, He holds it until we are ready to receive it. Today, I needed comforting after I saw that Facebook memory. God knew I was open to receive it, so He gave it to me. Beyond Blessed

Despite how crazily unpredictable life can become, I know that God has me covered. I am in His hands.

And so are you!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

This post was shared today on Instagram. A word, indeed. Gotta let the past hurts go and step into the great things the future holds.♥️

Today’s A New Day

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Today’s a new day—a fresh start. It’s an opportunity to do things better than I did yesterday. Today, I will be kind to myself, and I will give myself grace and space to be human…because I am human.☺️

On another note…

I will be changing my posting schedule to allow for a few more hours of sleep. For years, my most productive time has been early morning, so my current schedule worked. However, now that I have more activities scheduled throughout the day, I must make sure I have enough energy and rest to accomplish them. I’m not as young as I used to be (I’m just facing the facts) and need to adjust accordingly. I must be able to perform at my best at all times. No half-stepping!

Well, this is all I have for now. Thank you for reading. I’m not sure what my new posting schedule will look like, just know that there will always be a “Good Morning” post because I love good mornings.

Love you!♥️

Shaun
