Blessed

Shaun Bradford

Blessed seems to be the only word I can think of to describe how I feel right now. As John P. Kee sings, “You don’t know my story.” Y’all, this little girl… This baby right here…

Is now, this woman.

Never in a million years did I imagine 50 and beyond… healthy, drama-free, adult children, living carefree. I made it through my teenage years and my 20s. What a time they were! Been married and divorced. Life. Loved and experienced losses. Been hurt and bounced back. That little girl had no clue what life was sending her way. But she made it!!! Everything she went through made me the woman I am today.

One word — Blessed.♥️

Chosen For This: Part 3

Shaun Bradford

Went back to read what I had written on my birthday and happened to read what I had written the day before, exactly one year ago. You see, when I shared my first post for today, both quotes were from my Facebook memories. I had decided not to share the captions because I wasn’t really feeling them. Well, little did I remember, I had already shared one of the captions before. Smiling. Here’s what I wrote last year.

Chosen For This: Part 2 – June 23, 2023

“Not going to wait until next year when the Facebook post I shared today pops up as a Facebook memory. Nah… it has to be shared NOW, before Year 50. 

My words of affirmation…

Listen
Listen
LISTEN

Out of BILLIONS, YOU were handpicked to fulfill a purpose that only YOU can fulfill. Do not for one minute think your life has no meaning or you are not worthy of the dreams God placed in your heart. You are different for a reason. You were chosen for this. Not them, but YOU!

Walk in your purpose with confidence! Own it!!!

#Year50 is TOMORROW!!! It’s not what’s happening on the outside. It’s ALL about what’s happening on the inside. Whew!!!

Y’all already know I was pretty emotional when I wrote this. I am so serious and intentional about this next leg of my journey. God has been too good to me for me to keep suppressing His gifts. He made me like I am for a reason. I am Shaun and there is absolutely no other like me. I am one of one, for real.

Blessed!”

In tears. I love me some ME. For real. I am absolutely, without a doubt, one of a kind. Year50 showed me this. There is no one like me. Not at all.

When I tell you I am loving this side of 50!!! I am beyond grateful for the experiences, lessons and blessings of this past year. Never knew I needed them. However, God did! Before this day ends, and I enter another year, I would like to thank God for loving me. For holding my life, heart, and soul in His hands. For His covering and protection. For His mercy and grace. For His gentleness. For showing me, Me. When I tell you I am truly blessed, I mean it.

What a Jubilee Year!!! I made it!!!🎉🎉🎉

Year51 is loading… The other side of 50 is officially here!♥️

Nothing Can Stop God’s Plan

Shaun Bradford

Nothing and/or No One can stop God’s plan for your life. Nope. Not at all. Everything will work out in your favor, even those things that seem impossible. Now, breathe and trust God. He’s got you.

Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Today is the final day of Year50!!! This year has definitely been real. One for the books, for sure.

As I head into the rest of this decade there are two things I am certain of: 1) God’s timing is unmatched, and 2) I have been chosen by God to fulfill purposes that only I can fulfill.

Three Days

Shaun Bradford

Remember, life is what you make it. I have chosen to make mine beautiful. God has been too good to me for me not to. I am blessed.

Created on June 21, 2021.

These next three days—the final of my jubilee year—I plan to be intentional about cherishing moments. Not for pictures. Not to write about. But to make sure God knows I am truly grateful for the life, family, opportunities, and things He’s blessed me with. Because y’all, there is no doubt about it, I am truly blessed.🌺

Wishing you a wonderful day and beautifully, blessed weekend. Love you!♥️

Keep Looking Ahead

Shaun Bradford

Such a timely reminder. Keep looking ahead. That’s the way you are going.

Facebook Memory: June 20, 2022

Focus on what’s ahead, not what was left behind. Believe me, God has so much more planned for your future. Trust Him.

Trust God.

That last part—greater is waiting—should be encouragement enough to keep your eyes and focus forward. Again, that’s where you are headed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Only four more days left in this jubilee year. My next will be 50 years from now. Woohoo!!

You Are Special

Shaun Bradford

As Lizzo sings—

In case nobody told you today
You’re special
In case nobody made you believe (nobody, no, no)
You’re special
Well, I will always love you the same
You’re special
I’m so glad that you’re still with us (so glad, so glad, so glad)
Broken, but damn, you’re still perfect (you’re perfect)
Special by Lizzo
Lyrics: LyricFind

Facebook Memory: June 19, 2023

Brighten someone’s day by doing something that lets them know they are valued, appreciated, and loved. Make sure they know that they are special.♥️

In case no one has told you, you are valued, appreciated, and loved.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Know When To Move On

Shaun Bradford

Sometimes we stay in spaces to save face. You know, we think the embarrassment of leaving is worse than the consequences of staying. Other times we stay out of fear, or because we believe we have already stayed too long and there’s nothing left to do or give. Whichever the case may be, when we know it’s time to move on, we need to move on. We cannot waste anymore time in spaces where we were never meant to stay. Let’s learn the lessons. Accept the blessings. Then move on. God has more in store for us. However, we will never receive them if we do not move.

Comfort blocks blessings.

I pray you’re having a wonderful day thus far. Remember, God’s got you. You will not fail.♥️

Be Blessed,

Shaun

Write Your Own Story

Shaun Bradford

Remember to stay in control of the pen. Your life is your story, and you control the narrative. While you may not be able to control everything around you, you do have control over how you react or respond in different situations. This, in turn, lends to the outcome of your story. So, write your story, and make it good. Oh… and start over as many times as you please. Remember, it’s your story. Also, be sure to write the truth because lies will only limit the impact of wonderful experiences.❤️

Love you,

Shaun

Facebook Memory: June 18, 2024

Who knows you better than yourself? No one. You are the only one, besides God, who truly knows what you desire from life. So write your story. Feel free to revise as you evolve. Remember, it’s YOUR story.

Write from your authenticity.
