The Transition

Shaun Bradford

Five years ago today, I wrote, “Transitioning to something new,” and now I can’t help but laugh at how naive I was. I used to think that I would become the person I wanted to be overnight and that I would live the next 25 to 50 years as the finished product. HA! Little did I know that transition is an ongoing process and it takes time. You have to go through challenges, learn from them, and then go through even more. If you want to keep growing and reaching your full potential, the process of evolving never stops. Don’t know about you, but I want to keep evolving until my final breath.

Here’s what I shared on June 29, 2019:

Still excited by the transition. I am forever in awe of God’s work. Loving the woman I have become and looking forward to meeting the woman I am becoming.♥️

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

Y’all, I’m 51!

Shaun Bradford

Y’all, I still cannot believe that I am over 50! Seems like a dream. I was just 21, yesterday. Lol! Not sure what I thought 50 would be like or how I would feel. Honestly, as I have said before, I really didn’t put too much thought into life beyond 50. It was just an age on my timeline. An age that I had decided would mark the second half of my life where I would do anything I pleased. The first half was the test run for trial and error. HA!!! Another “Aha” moment. I guess you could say I manifested this too. Wow! I just love my life, and I just love how God loves me. Definitely blessed.♥️

Beyond blessed. Loving me!! Loving this side of 50.🥰

Tunnel Vision

Shaun Bradford

As long as YOU and God know where you are headed, no one else’s opinion matters. They cannot see the vision God gave you. Block the noise and chatter—even your own thoughts that cannot fathom where you are going—and focus on God’s guidance. He knows where He is taking you.

It’s tunnel vision season. Trust God!

Stay focused on your God-given vision. You might look crazy today, but you won’t tomorrow. Love you!♥️

Messages On Repeat: Be Still and Wait

Shaun Bradford

Last year, I shared these two messages/memories as a pair and have decided to do so again this year.

I don’t know about you but there are times when I become impatient and frustrated waiting on God. Just being honest. So, I end up ignoring His guidance and attempt to do things on my own. However, every time I’ve done so, it’s turned out to be a huge mistake. Moving on my own or prematurely has never resulted in what I thought it would. Honestly, it’s only caused delays in my progress.

Remember, God knows what He is doing and what lies ahead. If He advises us to be still and wait, we must do just that; no matter how uncomfortable it gets. I promise you—speaking from experiences of both not waiting and waiting—when it’s time to move, everything will work out in your favor and better than you imagined. So sit tight while God works. And, when He finally says move, you better move!♥️

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!

What’s In A Theme?

Shaun Bradford

Here’s what I shared last year.

Facebook Memory: June 26, 2024

“Present and At Peace,” is my theme for #Year50. For years I have missed out on some great experiences because I was always anticipating the next. Not anymore! From here on out, I am staying present so I can fully enjoy my blessings.♥️

Peace like no other.

Until today, I had forgotten “Present and at peace” was my theme for Year50. Now, I look back and smile. Even though I had forgotten, God had not. All year long He made sure I didn’t miss a thing. While I was present, He was providing the peace. Y’all, God’s love is unmatched.

This year’s theme for Year51 is “Beyond Blessed.” I know that I am blessed, and I will not accept anything less than blessed, nor should you. Smile

Praying you have a wonderfully, blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
