blog – Page 3 – It’s Shaun’s World

Yesterday morning, I wondered what stories would be shared about me. Well, it didn’t take long for me to find out. A few hours after I shared yesterday’s post, “What Will My Story Be?”, the stories began, and the sharing didn’t end until after midnight.

As soon as I arrived at the family reunion venue, one of my uncles—who’s basically my twin (born a little over a week apart)—greeted me with, “Shaun, you remember when you used to…” Then, last night at my sister’s house, my sisters and cousin shared more stories with my daughter, oldest nephew, and oldest niece. When I tell you they soaked up those stories like sponges.🤭

All I can say is, I was Shaun.😂

So, here’s what I gathered from their stories and what I know about myself:

I was never a quiet child. (I’m much calmer now, depending on who you ask.🤭)

I spoke my mind… I mean, voiced my opinions. (Still do, but more tactful now… depending on the situation😊—you might get Shaun or LaShaundrea or a version of both.🤷🏽‍♀️😂)

I was strong–willed. (Yeah… nothing’s changed.😂)

Just know my descendants will have many interesting stories to share about me.😅

Y’all, all while they were talking, I kept saying, “That was me then. I’m not that person anymore. Believe me, I’ve changed.” And they just laughed even harder.😂

Everyone is heading home today. Can’t wait until we meet up again. I love my family.💗

I hope your weekend has been great so far. Wishing you a beautiful Sunday and blessed week.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

Happy Sunday!☀️

I pray all is well with you.🌷

No matter what comes or goes, stay with God. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on Him.

Deuteronomy 31:8
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”

Stay with God. He’s got you!♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

I’m Listening God

July 12, 2025July 13, 2025 Shaun Bradford

That’s how I ended one of my journal entries from earlier this year. It’s what I’m doing today—listening—listening to God.

I pray you’re having a beautiful Saturday!♥️

Love you much,

Blessed and Favored

July 11, 2025July 13, 2025 Shaun Bradford

Singing, “Blessed And Highly Favored” by The Clark Sisters. The song says—

“He brought me through hard trials. He brought me through tribulations. Never let a day go by and not realize, had it not been for the Lord who was on my side…”

“Don’t take it for granted that we are here today. Just know that we’re blessed and highly favored.”

I know that I am blessed and highly favored, and I don’t take it for granted. All praises to God. Amen

I hope and pray that you know the same. You are blessed and highly favored. Yes, YOU!♥️

Love you always,

Shaun

Favor. Overflow. Grace.
