Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

This memory is the perfect follow up to how Beyoncé’s film left me feeling last night. Y’all, I can’t even make this stuff up. Who knew my next memory and message (why do I hear DJ Khaled saying, “God did!”—hilarious) was going to be a reminder that I was created for greatness. Not in an egotistical way, but in a way where I have to stop playing small. It is absolutely imperative that I use every God given talent I have to fulfill my purpose—to fulfill His purpose. I keep telling y’all Year50 is different. It’s so different that sometimes it frightens me. I said I wanted the next 50+ years to be completely different and Voila! it is so.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you were created for greatness. Nothing but greatness follows you. Remember, YOU ARE God’s child!♥️

God’s child. Divinely made. ONE of one.

Praying you have a wonderful day. Remember, YOU were created for greatness. Stop shying away from your calling.

Love you!♥️

You Are Victorious

Shaun Bradford

This post is for those currently experiencing setbacks, heartbreaks, and disappointments. Despite how dire life might seem at the moment, please know that your story is far from over. You cannot give up. You are so loved. Brighter days are ahead. Believe me, you will make it as you have many times before. There is no doubt that you will win!

As Pastor Joel Osteen would say, “You are the victor.” You will win as you always have. Remember, God’s got you!

I can hear Yolanda Adams singing, Victory. Can’t you? Smile

Love you.♥️

Smile

Shaun Bradford

When you read the title, did you smile?

I hope so.

That was my intention.

If not…

Let me try again.

You are loved.

Did that work?

No…

Let me try this.

You are AWESOME!

That didn’t work either?

How about…

You make me smile.

Yeah…

I know that worked.

I felt your smile.

Now it’s your turn.

Make someone smile.

Smiles are free. Keep them going.

Enjoy your week!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

This time I remembered it was Sunday. I don’t know what I was thinking last Sunday. Laughing

I didn’t really know what to write for today’s Hello Sunday so I went searching for inspiration. Well, I didn’t have to search long. When I opened X (I really wish he wouldn’t have rebranded Twitter), I had a notification that someone had retweeted one of my tweets from months ago. It was a comment I had made during former First Lady Michelle Obama’s book tour for The Light We Carry. It was a quote from her father—“You fall. You get up. You keep moving.”

Your faith will sustain you.

That’s today’s message–

You fall. It happens. Life happens.

You get up. Brush yourself off. Your story isn’t over.

You keep moving. That was only a small part of your story. God has so much more in store. Soooo much more.

Praying you have a wonderful Sunday. I love you!♥️

Trust God

Trust God.♥️

That was all I wrote last year—“Trust God.” So today I will leave it at that. Nothing else needs to be said.

Have a blessed weekend.

Love you!♥️

Giving Thanks

Shaun Bradford
Thankful for family time. I’m blessed.

Giving thanks for my two hearts!♥️♥️ Y’all, they really know how to brighten my day. We just watched Good Burger 2 together (not as good as the original but still good), and we are planning to play video and/or board games later. Loving this time with them.

I hope you are enjoying your Friday as well. Stay safe and be blessed!♥️

Thankful: Part 2

Shaun Bradford

About to get up and finish cooking. Was still laying here thinking about this past year. Seems like I have lost much more than I have gained. I know every season isn’t going to be a harvest season, a cheerful season, a winning season. That’s life, right?

With that being said, there are things that have remained constant like my babies and their unconditional love, those strong, SOLID friendships I spoke of in my last post, and God’s love, mercy and grace. Those have never changed, and I am so thankful and blessed that they haven’t. No more questioning God. No more asking “why” or “why me.” Leaning into what’s constant, what has remained, while releasing the other.

Thankful and blessed.♥️

This is Year50

Thankful

Shaun Bradford

Today is my first Thanksgiving without my momma. I started feeling it yesterday. Whew… Life… I am so very thankful for the 49 years (almost 50) we had together. She was definitely one of a kind and will forever be missed. Thankful she’s no longer in pain (she was in soooo much pain) and finally at peace. This Thanksgiving she is finally free.

What are you most thankful for?

I am the most thankful for life. Thankful that I am still here to experience God’s goodness. Thankful I am still here to love on my babies and them love on me. Y’all, they are my hearts, my smiles and my joys. I love them so much.♥️♥️

I am also thankful for my dad and bonus mom, my siblings, other family members, friendships (the strong, SOLID ones), and YOU. I am so very thankful for YOU!♥️

To everyone celebrating Thanksgiving, “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Love you,

Shaun
