Celebrating Year 50: Month 4

Shaun Bradford

Happy Birthday to me, again!! Just kidding. I am four months on this side of 50 and although this celebratory journey hasn’t been glamorous, it has been exactly what I have needed. Everyone who knows me knows I like watching God work. Well, I am doing just that. I now have a front row seat watching Him work in my life. You would think I would have been seated here all along, but nooo… I have been seated several rows back… in my own life. Shaking my head. Well, I am now front row at an exclusively, private screening of my own show, It’s Shaun’s World. Yes, I am finally here! Woohoo! And this time I am the main character. Can’t believe it has taken me this long to get here. Well, I did have to take care of my babies; however, I should have also been taking care of myself as well. Hindsight is 20/20, right?

Anyway, over the last four months, as with any good show, I have celebrated, cried, laughed, cried, gained a lot of wisdom, and cried even more. When I tell you these last four months have been intense—almost like a boot camp. As a result, I am stronger, wiser and more focused than ever.

Seriously, God’s been working on me. There were so many areas of my life that I thought I was doing well in only to find out I needed a lot more work. Here’s a quote taken from my Hello Sunday written two years ago.

“I believe God reveals things in stages. He reveals them when He knows we are equipped and ready to move to the next level. Whether we view the revelations as disappointments or blessings, every reveal or “aha” is always on time.”

I was so right. Every revelation has been right on time. Can’t wait to see where this show goes. I have eight more months left in the first of 50+ seasons. Wherever it goes I know that I will always come out on top. You know why? It’s because God is the writer, producer and director of this show. Plus, he loves me! Laughing

That’s all for now. Thank you for celebrating with me! I have a few Facebook memories to share later.

Take Care!♥️

The Season of Change

Shaun Bradford

Have you ever had God ask you to do something that you believed was insignificant, so you didn’t? Or, maybe you decided not to do it because you just didn’t want to? Well, yesterday I almost missed the mark with one of my posts. Little did I know, someone needed that particular message.

The Facebook memory I am now sharing was supposed to be my first post for today. I had decided not to share it because I am currently in a season of change, and y’all, some of these changes are difficult to embrace.

Well, while I was thinking about myself, I found out someone actually needed this exact message. They needed to be reminded that change is going to happen. Instead of resisting it, embrace it. There are so many wonderful blessings waiting on the other side. Here is the message–

Facebook Memory: October 21, 2022

Change is inevitable. Y’all, it’s going to happen. And even though God is omnipotent, it’s hard for Him to work if we are not willing to change. So instead of resisting it, embrace it!

Yesss… Embrace the change and watch God work!♥️

I am not feeling these changes but I know they will be worth it in the future.

From here on, I will try to be more obedient (I’m still human). I have to accept that it’s not about me, it’s about what God is doing through me.

That’s it for today; unless I have the urge to share something else. Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Love you!♥️

Shaun

THIS is Year50.
