Wide Awake

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, why am I wide awake like it’s 8:00 in the morning and not around 1:00 AM. Shaking my head. I had basically written a whole book about my Bell Biv Devoe experience only to decide not to share it. Believe me, it wasn’t anything juicy, just more than I needed to share. Anyhoo, I’ll share the Facebook memory that prompted it.

Facebook Memory: August 16, 2014

When I say I was devastated! I must have made that post after midnight because I said they had already performed that night. Well, they actually performed later on that day. The video I saw on the website was an advertisement.

As I said in the post, I had never won anything before winning those tickets. I always refer to them as a gift from God. For years I had wanted BBD or New Edition to perform at one of my birthday parties and the day before my 41st birthday I won tickets to the Jackson R&B Festival. Y’all, I didn’t even know who was performing until after I won the tickets. So, BBD being included in the lineup was the best surprise. Although I had to wait almost two months before I got to see them, it was so worth the wait. Great memory!

Well, good night. I’m finally sleepy.♥️

Good Night (19)

Remain hopeful. Blessings are headed your way.

Since I started the day off with a song, I figured it would only be appropriate to end the night with a song. Here’s what’s currently playing in my head.

“God’s Got A Blessing (with My Name On It)” by Norman Hutchins

Smile. God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it!♥️

Good Night,

Quality Time, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

Earlier, I shared the results from a love language quiz I took a couple of years ago, and I revealed that my primary love language is Quality Time. Well, today, unexpectedly, my dad asked if I would help him with a project. Something he rarely does. So, I got some quality time in with him. AND… he threw in a few words of affirmation. Didn’t even know I needed both. But God did. Smiling.

In my second post, I wrote, “When God shows up, He always shows out.” Hmmm… very few will get this, but the job we worked on (he makes headstones and monuments) required me to learn how to use a design software that I had never used before. Y’all, I’m still on cloud 9. Been watching YouTube videos on all of its features for almost an hour now. When I tell you God knows exactly how to bless me. He forever amazes me.

Just had to share my testimony—how God tends to work in my life. Y’all, I am beyond blessed, for real. I try not to take moments like this for granted.

I pray you had a great day. Wishing you a good night.♥️

Good Night (18)

Shaun Bradford

For a day that started off rocky, it ended well. I believe it wasn’t until late this afternoon that I was able to sit back and breathe. Thanking God for rest because that’s exactly what I am about to get… some rest. And you do the same.♥️

Good Night!

Shaun

Get some rest. Tomorrow’s a new day.

I am truly blessed.

Winding down early tonight. I have had a long day. Long, but wonderful day.

Thanking God for tailor-made blessings. Blessings that only I can receive.

Beyond Blessed.

Beyond Grateful.

Praying you have a peaceful night. Love you.♥️

Good Night (11)

Of course our body needs rest, but so does our mind. As we wind down for the night, let’s release any lingering thoughts and/or problems that have held us captive all day.

Release and relax.

As Elsa says, “Let it go.”

Let’s let it all go so we can get some real, much needed rest.

Wishing you love and peace.♥️

Good Night,

Good Night (10)

Shaun Bradford
Decided to go back and start numbering my “Good Night” posts. Guess I should do the same with my “Hello Sundays.” We shall see.

Just wanted to drop in and say good night. This weekend I finally got to visit my baby girl and love on her a little and vice versa. I am so proud of the woman she’s become and is becoming. Y’all, I just love listening to her (even when we disagree) and watching her. I love her smile. I love her laugh. I love her passion. She will always be my baby girl. I know I say this a lot, but I still cannot believe I am a mother. It just blows my mind that I have mini-mes. This is what I mean when I say I am truly blessed. I also met up with my oldest nephew and his wife. Same feelings with him. He’s so grown now.

Anyhoo… I pray you had a lovely weekend as well. Remember to love and cherish your loved ones. Love on them and allow them to love on you. Yes, allow yourself to receive the love that you give. Believe me, it makes wonderful experiences even more special.

Wishing you a restful night and peaceful week. Love you!♥️
