Good Night (14)

Shaun Bradford
Be blessed!

Wide awake but trying to wind down. Only one more day left in my birthday month and I am still celebrating this new stage of life. This year is nothing like last year. Last year I was trying to figure out how to set the tone for the next 50+ years to come. As I have said many times before, I asked God for this next half of my life to be different from the last. And it pretty much is. That was last year.

This year is all about gratitude for the simplest to the greatest of God’s blessings. Every ounce of praise—from accepting God’s love for me to me loving myself—is my expression of gratitude for God’s love, mercy, and grace towards me. Y’all, I can’t express it enough, I am truly, truly blessed.

Call me crazy if you must. Just know that this joy and peace that I now have is so genuine and like nothing I have ever experienced before. You better get you some.♥️

Good Night,

Shaun

Y’all, I’m 51!

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I still cannot believe that I am over 50! Seems like a dream. I was just 21, yesterday. Lol! Not sure what I thought 50 would be like or how I would feel. Honestly, as I have said before, I really didn’t put too much thought into life beyond 50. It was just an age on my timeline. An age that I had decided would mark the second half of my life where I would do anything I pleased. The first half was the test run for trial and error. HA!!! Another “Aha” moment. I guess you could say I manifested this too. Wow! I just love my life, and I just love how God loves me. Definitely blessed.♥️

Beyond blessed. Loving me!! Loving this side of 50.🥰

Divinely Created

Shaun Bradford

Have you ever wondered why you are not like others? Why you think and act differently?

The answer: You were divinely created to be different. You were never made to fit in. Everything that makes you you was done purposefully. Embrace who you are—all of you—and SHINE!✨♥️ ~Shaun

I really do love you!! Be who you were created to be and own it!

Surrender Your All

Shaun Bradford

Wanted to share this message with you. It blessed me earlier today, and it is still on my mind after several hours. It’s about surrendering to God. Not surrendering in a few areas of your life, but in all areas. Here is what I wrote when I reshared Joy’s reel. By the way, Joy Bradford, is my cousin’s beautiful wife. She is a purpose coach and co-pastor (along with my cousin) of New Vision Fellowship Church in Brandon, MS.

My response/caption:

THIS word right here!!! I remember when I used to pick and choose which areas I wanted God to handle. The others, I just knew I could handle them best. Boy, was I wrong! Not sure how many times I had to bump my head before completely surrendering my ALL to God. Y’all, it was the BEST decision I made. Can’t believe I was so afraid to do so. Listen, when I tell you God’s got you, believe me, He’s got you! #BeyondBlessed ♥️

Honestly, it wasn’t until I began to completely trust God that I was able to surrender my all. It wasn’t until I said and truly meant, “Any way You bless me Lord, I will be satisfied.” And y’all, I mean this wholeheartedly. I know His plans are not always aligned with mine. However, I do know—which was why I was so hesitant to fully surrender—He’s not going to bless me with anything less than His best. I now know this, and I trust Him. Amen

That’s all. Just wanted to share. Hope it blesses you as much as it has blessed me. It’s another point in my life that I never imagined reaching.

Please enjoy the rest of your day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun
