God’s Plans Are Always Best

Shaun Bradford
Originally shared on July 9, 2022.

I have absolutely no idea of what God has planned next for my life. I’m just going with the flow. As so many wise ones have said, God will show you the vision (got that), but not the many details along the way that are necessary to His plans. Here is what Year50 taught me—Yes, it took nearly 50 years to learn this:

1) Stay in the passenger seat. God is an amazing driver.

2) Remain under God’s covering. His presence and protection are forces to be reckoned with.

3) Trust God’s plans and His guidance. He sees and knows ALL—every tiny detail, every thought, every conversation.

On this side of 50, I have chosen to stick with God’s plans because I know (not believe) they are best. There are none better. Another thing Year50 taught me was God is the Master of plot twists. So yeah, I am sticking with His plans. Smile

Praying you have an amazing day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Today’s message is one that I have shared the past two years on this date. However, each time I have reshared it, I have added a few more words of wisdom. Yes, I am becoming wiser.

Today…

Every season has its own blessings and lessons. After a while, you begin to realize the lessons are blessings. You will never move forward without the lessons—which makes them blessings. Smile

Facebook Memory: July 7, 2023

You will make it through the lessons. Let me reiterate–you WILL make it through the lessons. Stay the course. Your blessings are waiting.♥️

Facebook Memory: July 7, 2022

Every season comes with blessings and lessons. Embrace both. Blessings will get you through lessons while lessons prepare you for greater blessings. Gotta love life.♥️

Whether you are in the middle of a blessing or lesson, keep God first. He’s the key. Love you!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford
Wonderfully blessed. Grateful.🌸

Hello Sunday! Not sure what I should write about this morning. I scrolled through my Facebook memories and read past journal entries from this date and nothing popped out. Maybe I will have something to share by the time I write my second post.

Well, these three things/phrases just came to mind. Hesitant to write them. Perhaps they will mean something to you.

Illusions
Trust God
Be prepared

That’s it! Very random.

Maybe I should have shared one of my Facebook memories instead. Lol. We shall see what I post next. Until then, please enjoy your Sunday!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Side note: I really hate feeling like the weird person every time I share things like this or random prayers. I promise y’all I am not crazy. What I am going to do is trust God, even if I sound crazy.🙏🏽

**Had to come back and add this part.**

After I published this post and stopped trying to figure out what those random words/phrases meant, I heard “Confidence.” My confidence. I must be confident in what I know God has for me to share. I focus too much on not wanting to sound weird or being called crazy. It’s not about me. It’s about God and His glory (which I shared yesterday).

Obedience
Acceptance

I hear You, God.♥️

You Are Blessed

Listen, this year, Year51, is all about experiencing God’s blessings in real time. From the moment I wake up until the time I fall asleep, I plan to acknowledge my blessings. Y’all, there are way too many blessings surrounding me for me not too. They are like God’s hugs and kisses reminding me that I am His child. Such a great space to be in.

Last year I celebrated all year long. This year I plan to do the same, by expressing my gratitude for my blessings. So, get ready! I am preparing you now. The words “blessed” and “blessings” will be used quite frequently. Smile

Before I end, I would like to invite you to join the celebration. Because if you did not know… You are blessed too!! Yes, YOU!! So, let’s celebrate!🎉

Love you!♥️

Shaun

Smile, this is Year51. Celebrate with me!
