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.♥️

For God’s Glory, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

While I was writing my previous post, “For God’s Glory,” I kept hearing Tasha Cobbs Leonard singing, “For Your Glory.” So, I added her song to my Instagram and YouTube posts. I guess you can say it’s my praise and worship song for today. Everything I do is all for God’s glory, not mine. He’s my reason. Amen.

Wishing you a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun

You Are Blessed

Shaun Bradford

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!

This Is My Prayer

Shaun Bradford

Ending the day with the same prayer I began with:

Speaking life, love, peace, joy, optimal health, success, prosperity, and blessings over this next year and beyond. Amen

This is my prayer from this day forward.

Beyond Blessed♥️

Hello 51🦋

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Today is the final day of Year50!!! This year has definitely been real. One for the books, for sure.

As I head into the rest of this decade there are two things I am certain of: 1) God’s timing is unmatched, and 2) I have been chosen by God to fulfill purposes that only I can fulfill.

I am so loving the woman I have become, as well as this side of 50. Looking forward to many beautifully, blessed years ahead.

Three Days

Shaun Bradford

Remember, life is what you make it. I have chosen to make mine beautiful. God has been too good to me for me not to. I am blessed.

Created on June 21, 2021.

These next three days—the final of my jubilee year—I plan to be intentional about cherishing moments. Not for pictures. Not to write about. But to make sure God knows I am truly grateful for the life, family, opportunities, and things He’s blessed me with. Because y’all, there is no doubt about it, I am truly blessed.🌺

Wishing you a wonderful day and beautifully, blessed weekend. Love you!♥️

Shine bright, our beautiful Sun!☀️

Today also marks one of your brightest days yet, with so many more to come. Keep shining!

Did I mention my birthday is in four (4) days?! Yes, I’m excited!!!

Listen, don’t mind me. I just love my birthdays. Year51 is loading!!

Keep Looking Ahead

Shaun Bradford

Such a timely reminder. Keep looking ahead. That’s the way you are going.

Facebook Memory: June 20, 2022

Focus on what’s ahead, not what was left behind. Believe me, God has so much more planned for your future. Trust Him.

Trust God.

That last part—greater is waiting—should be encouragement enough to keep your eyes and focus forward. Again, that’s where you are headed.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Only four more days left in this jubilee year. My next will be 50 years from now. Woohoo!!

Authentically Me

Shaun Bradford

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Earlier today I shared a picture from a few days ago. I had taken it after my cousin’s 70th birthday party and right before I removed my makeup, which was already wearing off. I decided to share this particular photo—unedited, without posing, just looking directly in the camera—because I felt it was my most authentic. I was exhausted, but felt so blessed (hence the reason for the photo). This little girl is now a grown woman. A 50 year old woman who is here, aging, and not afraid to be. No longer afraid to share her authentic, most vulnerable self.

I’m sharing this because a very opinionated friend of mine posted a response that only they could and would. Shaking my head, laughing. Honestly, it was a response that would’ve made me feel awkward for sharing, and would have had me second guessing my decision. However, today, I’m free. As Fantasia sings, “This is me.” It’s me and I absolutely love me.

Here’s my post. Those who get it, get it. Those who don’t…not my problem. I’m living!

Authentically me.

That’s all. Just felt like sharing. Praying you have a wonderful night. Listen, don’t be afraid to let people see the real you. It’s you! Love you.♥️
