“Service Before Self”

Shaun Bradford

The United States Air Force has three core values:

  1. Integrity First
  2. Service Before Self
  3. Excellence In All We Do

I am so hyped right now! “Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds” on Netflix is a must see!

I’m experiencing so many feelings at this moment.

Gratefulness: So grateful I had the opportunity to serve. Who knew that waking up one morning and deciding to join the Air Force would have this much of an impact on my life?

Nostalgia: I miss that life. I miss the camaraderie. We were more than coworkers and colleagues. We were family. (Been trying to find that same connection in the civilian world, but I’m not sure it exists.)

Pumped Up: I won’t leak any spoilers, but that ending! Listen, I already knew what was going to happen. There’s something about pressure and adrenaline that pushes you to excel.

And seeing General Jumper was the icing on the cake. I knew who he was before they even showed his name. I served under his command in Europe. Talk about chills!

Seeing this documentary made me feel like I was back at home. I believe I need to visit an Air Force base soon. I need to see my people.☺️

I am beyond blessed and so grateful.🥰

Afternoon Reminder Or Confirmation

Trust, Peace, And Patience

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌸

“Peace is trusting God while patiently waiting through the process …”

“You cannot have peace without patience.”

That’s what I shared four years ago. Today, I feel it more than ever as this side of 50 ticks down. The only way I can maintain the level of peace I have is first to trust God, then remember to be patient. Both are key! There’s so much God is doing while I’m waiting and moving—because I’m definitely moving—through the processes to get to where He’s taking me. Yes, where God’s taking me. I used to try to figure it out, which caused my impatience; however, now, I move and operate under the flow of His guidance.

That’s trust.

That’s patience.

That’s peace.

I pray your patience is bringing you peace. Please have a beautiful day. May it be filled with love, happiness, and joy. And if you need a little more patience, may it be filled with patience too. Smile.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

Focus On Your Garden

Shaun Bradford

Focus on your garden. You have sown your seeds. Now, they’re beginning to sprout and grow beautifully. Water and nurture them; weed and prune when necessary. Be careful not to become distracted by your neighbor’s garden, its beauty, or its lack thereof. That’s theirs to tend to. Stay focused on your own.

Smile.

Your garden is growing!🌸🌺🌷🌹

I love you much,

Shaun

It’s Your Season For Favor

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning☀️

How are you?

I hope you’re well.🌹

Guess what?!

This is your season for all good things, for God’s favor. Maybe you can’t see it right now because you’re so focused on what you’re lacking. But I dare you to take a step back, be still, and sit in God’s presence. You’ll see it happening. You’ll see how those seeds you planted years ago—the ones you gave up on because you never saw anything growing besides weeds—are finally bursting through the soil. You thought you had only planted flowers, but you also planted a few trees. Smile. It’s your reaping season!

I pray you have a wonderfully blessed day. A day filled with love, peace, and joy.♥️

I love you always,

Celebrating Mother’s Day

Shaun Bradford

When I woke up this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was celebrate Mother’s Day. I just wasn’t feeling it. But God and my daughter had different plans. I’m so glad she decided to come home this weekend. I needed her company. I needed the love, laughs, hugs (from both of my hearts), and good food. I may have lost my mother, but… I am a mother. God blessed me with two beautiful souls. How could I not celebrate this honor?

My daughter is on her way back home. We did more in about 18 hours than we would have done the entire weekend. When I tell you we laughed, danced, sang, ate, watched Netflix (started “Forever”), had a few deep conversations, and ate some more.🥰

To the mothers and mother figures who nurture and give selflessly, “Happy Mother’s Day!” You are loved and appreciated.💕🌸💗
