Good Night (53)

Shaun Bradford

Just dropping in to say “Good Night.”

So far, I’m really enjoying 52. I know it sounds crazy, but it already seems different—in a great way.

After a week of being catered to, I finally realized that my babies are grown and have their own lives and their own money. My siblings also have their own lives. My dad and stepmom have each other and are making it the best they can together, which leaves me to do my own thing. I feel like I have this revelation often, but I uncover a newfound freedom with each revelation, and it’s beautiful.

This is Year52…

The year of favor, overflow, and grace.

I pray you had a wonderful day. May your evening be restful and your dreams be beautiful.♥️

I love you always,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 105

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: June 19, 2019

During my adulthood, I have taken quite a few leaps of faith, some small and some life-changing. With each leap came challenges; however, all were so worth taking.

Six years ago, I mentioned that I took leaps while afraid. Well, baby, on this side of 50, nothing seems to frighten me—not sure if that’s a good or bad thing😅—I’m just out here going with the flow. I’m not sure what my next leap will be, but I do know that whatever it is, I’m doing it fearlessly because I know from years of experience that God will always be with me.♥️

The Power Of Gratitude

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: June 18, 2019

As I mentioned six years ago, “Never underestimate the power of gratitude.” There is something about gratitude that brings peace. The kind of peace that surpasses all understanding. Yes, that God peace. (Philippians 4:7)

Always, always, always remain grateful.♥️

I love you much,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 103

Shaun Bradford

I spent the last week at one of my sisters’ houses dog-sitting. It was planned months ago. However, little did I know I would need that time to sit and unwind. I needed the solitude. While there, I rarely turned on the television or watched anything on social media. It was just me, God, and Pepé (her dog).

It was there that I realized I have been blessed with a life that I continuously try to complicate by making this or that venture happen. The hustle and bustle that needed to happen happened on the other side of 50 including helping raise my siblings, raising my kids, and taking care of my mom until she passed. Yes, all of that happened on the other side of 50. So, now is my time to just be and care for me.

Don’t get me wrong, I still have the same aspirations and dreams, but I don’t have to neglect my well-being or peace to have them. Just like everything else God’s given me, they’ll come with time. I now understand that being able to enjoy life at my own pace is a gift, a gift that I am humbly accepting.♥️

Soaking Up God’s Goodness

Shaun Bradford

Good morning to you!☀️

Today, I am soaking up every ounce of God’s goodness. I am taking in every smile, positive interaction, fond memory, and ounce of love I receive and holding them closely. I’m living in this moment, the here and now.

Thank You, God, for all Your blessings. Thank You for giving me life and surrounding me with Your love. Thank You for covering me with Your peace, protection, mercy, and grace. All honor, praise, and glory belongs to You. Amen

Above beyond blessed.🌺

I pray that you have one of the most amazing self-love Saturdays yet. Be sure to disconnect from the negative and surround yourself with positive thoughts and energy, only. Your mind, heart, soul, and spirit will thank you.♥️

I love you,

Shaun

**This may or may not be my only post for today. Today, I’m just vibing with the flow of life. Take care.🌸

My Journey With God, No. 101

Shaun Bradford

On June 11, 2019, I began my journal entry with—

Singing, “Anointing fall on me. Anointing fall on me. Let the power of the Holy Ghost fall on me. Anointing fall on me.” Amen 

I mentioned that I was about to rewatch Sarah Jakes Roberts’ message “Unfinished Business ” from that Pentecost Sunday. I had been on the phone with my mom and had missed most of the message.

I also wrote about Leah Chase being laid to rest the day before, and how my conversation with her was connected with the nutrition sessions I was providing for children attending a summer camp. During our meeting in 2014, Chef Leah encouraged me to teach children about where food came from—that it didn’t come from the grocery store but from gardens and farms. So, on the day of her funeral, I was doing just that.

I wrote so much more on that day (I usually write several times a day); however, I ended the day with this—

“Whew! God just blows my mind. For real.”

And He does. Every day He blows my mind. He’s so wonderful. Just to know Him and be in His presence is indescribable.

God, thank You for loving me. Thank You for showing me YOU!

Amen

Finding Peace In The Midst Of Storms

Shaun Bradford

Where’s your focus? Is it on the storm or is it on God?

If you focus on the storm, chaos, or problems around you, you will never find the peace you seek. You have to intentionally shift your focus to God. That’s where you will find peace.

As many of us have found, shifting our focus is not always easy, especially when problems seem to be coming from every direction. However, when we take a moment to calm ourselves and pray, we begin to feel the peace of God ease in. Eventually, we find ourselves at peace.

I pray you have found peace, despite the storms.♥️

Love you always,

Shaun
