Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

This time I remembered it was Sunday. I don’t know what I was thinking last Sunday. Laughing

I didn’t really know what to write for today’s Hello Sunday so I went searching for inspiration. Well, I didn’t have to search long. When I opened X (I really wish he wouldn’t have rebranded Twitter), I had a notification that someone had retweeted one of my tweets from months ago. It was a comment I had made during former First Lady Michelle Obama’s book tour for The Light We Carry. It was a quote from her father—“You fall. You get up. You keep moving.”

Your faith will sustain you.

That’s today’s message–

You fall. It happens. Life happens.

You get up. Brush yourself off. Your story isn’t over.

You keep moving. That was only a small part of your story. God has so much more in store. Soooo much more.

Praying you have a wonderful Sunday. I love you!♥️

Trust God.♥️

That was all I wrote last year—“Trust God.” So today I will leave it at that. Nothing else needs to be said.

Have a blessed weekend.

Love you!♥️

Giving Thanks

Shaun Bradford
Thankful for family time. I’m blessed.

Giving thanks for my two hearts!♥️♥️ Y’all, they really know how to brighten my day. We just watched Good Burger 2 together (not as good as the original but still good), and we are planning to play video and/or board games later. Loving this time with them.

I hope you are enjoying your Friday as well. Stay safe and be blessed!♥️

Thankful

Shaun Bradford

Today is my first Thanksgiving without my momma. I started feeling it yesterday. Whew… Life… I am so very thankful for the 49 years (almost 50) we had together. She was definitely one of a kind and will forever be missed. Thankful she’s no longer in pain (she was in soooo much pain) and finally at peace. This Thanksgiving she is finally free.

What are you most thankful for?

I am the most thankful for life. Thankful that I am still here to experience God’s goodness. Thankful I am still here to love on my babies and them love on me. Y’all, they are my hearts, my smiles and my joys. I love them so much.♥️♥️

I am also thankful for my dad and bonus mom, my siblings, other family members, friendships (the strong, SOLID ones), and YOU. I am so very thankful for YOU!♥️

To everyone celebrating Thanksgiving, “Happy Thanksgiving!”

Love you,

Shaun

Seasons Change: Adjust Accordingly

Facebook Memory: November 22, 2022

Seasons do not define you, God does. You are who He says you are– loving, caring, worthy, creative, capable, prosperous…the list goes on. You were wonderfully made and YOU ARE LOVED. Listen, seasons change. Remember who YOU are and adjust accordingly.♥️

Adjust accordingly, but never forget who you are.

Talk to you tomorrow. Love you!♥️

Focus On God

Shaun Bradford
Always keep your focus on Him.

Several years ago, someone commented on one of my tweets and to this day every time I hear, “Focus on God,” I remember her words.

She said, “Don’t look to the right or to the left, focus on God.”

Today I encourage you to keep your eyes straight ahead and focused on God. Yes, stay focused on God.

Love you!♥️

Screaming–Keep Going Shaun!!

Shaun Bradford

Listen, today I am celebrating one of many successes. Y’all, it took me forever to get out of my head. It took me forever to become confident enough to share my blogs outside of WordPress. Then, it took me forever to accept this as something other than a hobby. This is part of my purpose and calling. It may not seem like much, but I know wholeheartedly this is only a snippet of something greater that God has planned.

For everyone who continues to read and share my blogs, THANK YOU!! You are soooo appreciated. I love you!!!♥️♥️♥️

80 days until 1000!!!

Today is Day 920, exactly 365 days later. I am so proud of myself for not giving up. For actually trying again and again. I know it may seem small but it’s so big to me. Y’all, I am finally doing something that I absolutely love doing and I feel so free to do it. Nah…I’m not making millions and I don’t have millions of followers, but I am living in my authenticity, allowing God to use me, AND I am at peace. Whew!!! Nothing BUT GOD!!! Y’all, I am truly, truly blessed.

This is my Year50…

Celebrate Your Successes

Shaun Bradford

Remember to celebrate all of your successes including those only you and God know about. Like the fears, doubts, insecurities, and perfectionism you overcame before making your first move. Yes, those successes are just as important and should be celebrated too.

Every success puts you closer to your goals and dreams. So celebrate!

Love you!♥️

Standards and Boundaries

There is absolutely nothing wrong with setting standards and boundaries. Protect yourself. You matter too.♥️ ~Shaun

You are not asking for too much.

Dreams

Shaun Bradford

Just woke up from my second or third weird dream. The first dream felt so real that I woke up as if it was happening at that very moment. I could see it so clearly. I could also feel it. I wrote as much as I could remember in my journal. The dream was very straightforward, nothing to interpret. However, I kept hearing, “You woke up too soon.” Hmmm

Now that I have written about it, perhaps the dream shouldn’t be my concern but the message I received afterward. I woke up too soon. Was there more to see? Guess I will never know because I did not stick around to find out.

The dreams that followed were not related or quite as interesting. But that first one had me a bit shook. Most of my dreams are just dreams; however, some are pretty real. Since childhood, I have witnessed some version of my dreams happen. I even dreamed my mom would suffer from paraplegia only months before it happened (it’s journaled). So, I don’t take my dreams lightly, especially not the ones that wake me up like this one did. The crazy part about this one and the message I received after I woke up is I actually forced myself to wake up. I did not want to see any more.

Well, this is how my week has started. I pray your week is pretty normal. I am going to tuck that dream away and focus on something else, which goes so well with this Facebook memory from a year ago. Was going to save it for my second blog but I’ll find something else to share.

Focus on the good.♥️

Enjoy your day!♥️
