Finding My Tribe

Shaun Bradford

A few months ago when I declared the next 50+ years would be nothing like the last, I had no idea what was coming. Right before I turned 50, I began noticing areas of my life where I had become stagnant. Where if I did not make adjustments, I would never move forward. After I turned 50 (coming up on 50 yrs. 4 months), I thought I would be happily celebrating all year long; instead, I was hit with more revelations about changes and adjustments that were needed. The only way to describe it is I was being pruned. Everything that was holding me back needed to be adjusted or removed. It didn’t feel good. Even had me questioning God, something that I seldom do. However, I listened and did what I needed to do.

A few days ago, I was thinking about how much my life has changed in only a few short months. No more anxiety. No more comparisons. No longer caring what others think. I finally feel free to just BE.

While watching Jada Pinkett Smith’s interview, it dawned on me that I needed to find people with similar beliefs. For far too long I have been trying to fit in spaces that don’t fully embrace me. I’m not going to lie, it can be emotionally and mentally exhausting at times. Since I do not want to spend the next 50+ years alone, I really need to find my people, my tribe. My daughter is getting married and my son is creating his own path. It’s time for me to continue my journey to becoming who I’m destined to be. I can only do this with the love and support of people who truly understand, embrace, and appreciate all of me.♥️

This is Year50

Funny Story

Shaun Bradford

All I can do is laugh. Have you ever been caught… by God?

So this morning I shared, “Did you ask God?” Went on to say how moving without consulting God could be detrimental. Well, a little while ago, I decided to make a decision without consulting God. I was like, “I got this!” I did what I did, then messed around and opened Facebook and my message hit me like a ton of bricks, “Did you ask God?” Really?! Had to go back and undo what I had done. Fortunately, I was able to.

Listen, don’t be in such a hurry to step out on your own. You know what God told you and you have receipts (testimonies). You know He has never let you down. Maybe things have not always gone as you have planned or they have taken longer than expected, but God has always had your back. Do not forfeit or delay His blessings because you are too eager to wait or you believe that you can do a better job. No. Be still and trust Him.

I know I’m not the only one who needed this message. I refuse to be the only one being chastised. Laughing

Love you!♥️
