Last One! I Promise

Shaun Bradford

I promise this is the last post for today. My daughter is headed back home, my son is at work, and I am left alone deep in thought. I have absolutely no idea what is going on this year, especially during my Jubilee year, but it’s a lot. Confusion, chaos, hatred, you name it. Much more negative energy in the atmosphere than positive. I see it. I feel it. As much as I would love the kumbaya moments to happen and last, they seem far and few in between.

This past year I have witnessed people do things out of pure spite just to be noticed. No one thinks about the consequences of their actions. They can care less who they harm. It’s all about Me, Me, Me, and trending. And most of the time the true victims aren’t the people they intend to hurt but those connected to them. Y’all, people will literally sell their souls and relationships just for momentary satisfaction. Then when the feeling and fame wears off they search for more ways to become relevant, even if it does more harm. What is this world coming to?

I guess this means I need to do more to spread light and love. I know people are better than this. I think it’s time I become more intentional about finding like minded people who would rather build bridges than tear them down. People who, when hurt or angered, do not lash out, but instead extend kindness, mercy, and grace. Y’all, love must win!

My heart is breaking for humanity right now. I have to remain hopeful that things will get better soon.🙏🏽♥️

Are You Already There?

Shaun Bradford

God always gives us a glimpse of what destiny spaces may look like—the people, the places, the mindsets, the atmosphere. Sometimes He even allows a test run just to see if it is something we are sure we want, or to get a feel of the environment. As I wrote yesterday, it’s our “yes” that actually sets things in motion.

I am 12 days shy of entering the final month of my Jubilee year. Thanking God for the test run. So grateful He didn’t let me give up. So grateful He kept pushing me forward. I’m blessed.♥️ ~Shaun

Facebook Memories: May 12, 2022

Can you see it?
Can you feel it?
Are you already living it even though you’re nowhere near it?

You can believe until you’re blue in the face. If you can’t see it, you’ll never have it. Just sharing God’s message to me. Thought you could use it too.🤷🏽‍♀️

I am there.🌸

Your “Yes”

Shaun Bradford
When you tell God “Yes,” be prepared for whatever comes.

In case you didn’t know, it was your “Yes” that set everything in motion. It was your “Yes” that ignited it all. It was your “Yes” that had you believe all things were possible. Now, it’s your “Yes” that will allow you to experience God’s glory.

Bet you didn’t know your “Yes” was so powerful. Smile♥️

More Jordan Memories

Shaun Bradford

Several weeks ago, I shared a Facebook memory with excerpts from my journal entry from 1998 along with a few pictures of Michael Jordan memorabilia that I had collected during that era. I had originally shared them on Facebook while watching Michael Jordan’s documentary, “The Last Dance,” which aired in April and May of 2020. In that post, “The Last Dance,” I said that I would share the newspaper articles if I came across them in my Facebook memories. Well, here they are, along with a Space Jam coin I had found.

Side Note: If you didn’t watch the 10 episode documentary, you missed out. It was phenomenal! Took me all the way back to the 90s. Smiling

The Space Jam coin that came with the VHS tape.
The 1997 NBA Finals
The 1998 NBA Finals a.k.a. The Last Dance

How about I had forgotten the Chicago Bulls beat the Utah Jazz in the 1997 and 1998 finals. Fun times! Loved the game. I should look and see if I wrote anything about the 1997 finals. During that time, I would have been preparing to move from Florida to Turkey so I may not have written much. Going to check before I share this post.

Well, that was my love for basketball in the 90s. Sadly, I can’t even recall the last time I watched a NBA game since then. However, over the past few years, I have watched a few BIG3 games. I love the fact that some of the players from the 90s are now coaches or have come back to play with the BIG3. My favorite team is the Triplets coached by Lisa Leslie. Y’all, she’s so awesome!

I did write about the 1997 Finals. Here’s some of what I found.

Shaun’s Journal Entries: June 13 & 14, 1997 (excuse my penmanship—when I write, I write with passion😅)

My baby girl was only 2 years old back then.☺️

Y’all, those were the days…

Praying you have a great day. Love you!♥️
