Screaming–One More Month!

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I woke up screaming! In my head, of course. In exactly ONE MONTH, I will be 50!!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Last night, I was kind of down. Was thinking about how Momma won’t be here to celebrate my 50th with me. Then, this morning I woke up excited. I’m actually going to be half a century. How cool is that!

Last year, my best friends/sister friends and I were trying to decide what we wanted to do for our 50th year. We thought about RVing across the states and flying to Alaska and Hawaii. Considered stopping in Los Angeles for the BET awards since it fell on my birthday weekend. Like we were really going to get in. Laughing. Cool fact– This year they are celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop!

Well, those were our plans until August happened. After August, the planning ceased.

I was talking to one of my sister friends after Momma died and she mentioned her plans during June and never once mentioned my birthday. That was the first time ever. She has always mentioned my birthday. I understood. I knew she probably thought that was the last thing I wanted to discuss, but I kind of felt forgotten. Anyhoo… that was last week and even yesterday.

Today, I am excited about my birthday again, and I’m so glad that I am. I love celebrating my birthdays and 50 is a big one. Y’all, I will be half a century old. Regal

I love my life and I love how God loves me. Y’all, He will not let me stay down. Yes, I’m blessed.♥️

Just call me Queen Shaun! Smile

Wishing you a wonderful rest of the week. Be Blessed

Easter Sunday

Shaun Bradford
Resurrection Sunday

Today is Resurrection Sunday, or Easter. All while growing up, and up until a few years ago, most people referred to today as Easter. Then, a few years ago, more people began to refer to it as Resurrection Sunday. Either way, today is the day we (all who believe) celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead.

This morning I am singing, “Rise Again.” Found this version on YouTube and found it to be one of the best renditions of the song. It’s very soulful – Rise Again by Larnell Harris.

Here are the lyrics from LyricFind:

Go ahead, drive the nails in My hands
Laugh at Me, where you stand
Go ahead, and say it isn’t Me
The day will come, when you will see

‘Cause I’ll rise, again
Ain’t no power on earth can tie Me down
Yes, I’ll rise, again
Death can’t keep Me in the ground

Go ahead, and mock My name
My love for you is still the same
Go ahead, and bury Me
But very soon, I will be free

‘Cause I’ll rise, again
Ain’t no power on earth can tie Me down
Yes, I’ll rise, again
Death can’t keep Me in the ground

Go ahead, and say I’m dead and gone
But you will see that you were wrong
Go ahead, try to hide the Son
But all will see that I’m the One

‘Cause I’ll come again
Ain’t no power on earth can keep me back
Yes, I’ll come again
Come to take My people back

For all who are reading and celebrating – Happy Easter! Happy Resurrection Sunday! Jesus is not dead. He’s very much alive. Grateful

Be Blessed♥️

Change Takes Courage

Shaun Bradford

Change is not always easy. Sometimes we have to let go of what’s comfortable and familiar in order to get to better. This requires courage.♥️ ~ Shaun

Change is necessary.

Note: It is so important to know where to make changes and how much of a change to make. Over the years, I have learned that some things just need to be tweaked, not completely modified or abandoned.
