The Growing Place *UPDATED

Shaun Bradford

Do not be discouraged. This is not where you are meant to stay. God is growing and preparing you for where you are going.♥️ ~ Shaun

There is so much more to come.

Had to come back and add an update. Yesterday, I came across this exact sermon Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts had preached in Denver. All I could do was smile and shed a few tears. What if she would have given up after 2018? Just think, everything that transpired over the last year would not have happened.

Y’ALL!!! We have to keep going. I have to keep going. I know deep down there is sooooo much more God has planned for me. This is not where my story ends. Listen, I cannot afford to give up, and neither can you!! We must keep growing. Love you!

Hello October! (Hello Sunday)

Shaun Bradford

Hello October!

October means fall is officially here and the holiday season is just around the corner. It also means the end of the year is near. I pray that you have accomplished most of what you set out to accomplish this year or you are a least working on it. Honestly, I am not even sure what I said I would work towards this year. Let me check and see….

I checked. Smiling. Not even sure how it’s happened—this has been one crazy year—but I am doing exactly what I set out to do. The only answer I have is “It’s ALL God!”. When God leads, even when we are not completely focused, He’s focused. He always gets us where we need to be. If you didn’t already know that’s called love, and I am soooo glad He loves me.

I pray everything is working out as you planned. Maybe it doesn’t look exactly like you envisioned; however, when you really look at how things are going, you know it’s actually going as planned. Remember to look beyond the superficial. Yeah… I bet you are right on track.

Wishing you a glorious day! Love you.♥️ ~ Shaun

New day. New week. New month. New beginnings. New blessings.

Want to be Happy? Be Happy

Shaun Bradford

How many times have you said something like, “They make me happy,” “This is my happy space,” or “I am happiest when…”? I know throughout my lifetime I have said or thought it at least a million times. However, looking back, it wasn’t the people around me or the spaces I was in that made me happy, it was me choosing to be happy. I am not saying that my surroundings didn’t contribute to my happiness, but ultimately it was my decision to be happy that allowed me to experience it.

Y’all, I have been in some spaces where I should have felt my lowest, yet I was happy. I have also been in spaces where I should’ve been on cloud nine and was miserable. It took me years to realize I controlled my happiness. I am not saying that I am never sad or disappointed or heartbroken. What I am saying is, over time I decided happiness was a better choice, and I absolutely love being happy.

Facebook Memory: September 30, 2021.

Yes, I am creating my own happiness… but not today! Today, I’m going back to Starbucks to get my Caramel Apple Spice. I need the real thing. Lol. Starbucks, make me happy!

Praying you have an absolutely amazing day. Remember, you are in control of your happiness. Love you!♥️

Grateful

Shaun Bradford

Woke up singing “Grateful” by Hezekiah Walker. It’s one of the songs on my favorite playlist. The song says—

I am grateful for the things that you have done
Yes, I'm grateful for the victories we've won
I could go on and on and on about your works
Because I'm grateful, grateful, so grateful just to praise you Lord
Flowing from my heart are the issues of my heart, it's gratefulness

Thanking God for life.♥️

Screaming!!! What a Fabulous Memory

Shaun Bradford

Yes y’all, I am SCREAMING right now!!! I had forgotten that I went to see Beyoncé around this same time seven years ago! Talk about a sweet memory! Here’s what I wrote.

Facebook Memory: September 25, 2016

Last night was wonderful! Beyoncé is so humble. Happy I got to experience her brilliance. Because she IS brilliant! Can’t believe it’s been 20 years!! Thanks KiSondrea for my birthday present! You’re the BEST!😘 #FormationWorldTour #NOLA #SLAY

Note: My birthday was in June. The ticket was part of my gifts. I just had to wait until September to get it. And it was definitely worth the wait!

We had so much fun! I was definitely in mommy mode back then. NOT THIS YEAR!!! This church girl about to have some fun! LOL

Just like back then, this concert was one of my birthday gifts. I keep telling y’all I have the best babies in the world. It’s not the gifts they give but how they love me, and love on me. They know me so well! Always respectful, thoughtful, and attentive. I am truly, truly blessed.

By the way, I got my MUTE ready!!!

Year50♥️
