Good Morning

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

How is everything going?

How have you been feeling lately?

Me? I’m so glad you asked.☺️

So, my new year started off on a high note. However, it went downhill soon after—like the next day—when I began thinking about my personal life. I thought about how I chose to be a mom first and built my life around my two—no disrespect to my babies because I would do it all again if I had to. It’s true.

Side note: If you don’t already know, I love being a mom. Y’all, I love everything about motherhood—the good and bad. Believe me, my adult children were regular kids like every other kid. They tested their boundaries and my patience, but I never once regretted having them. They were and truly are my blessings.

Anyhoo… Reality hit me hard a couple of days ago. I’m talking hard! For a minute, I felt completely lost and alone. Y’all, I am single—like, single, single—grown kids, no man single—and I’m 51.

That’s when I knew I needed a change of scenery to clear my mind, so I hit the road. I wasn’t about to sit and wallow in my thoughts of what I didn’t or don’t have. Yes, I am 51, but I refuse to believe my best days are behind me. That I missed out on God’s plans for my personal life because I chose to make my babies a priority.

This morning I came across a Facebook memory from a few years ago and was reminded that everything that happened in my life, happened the way and in the order that God planned. I may not understand it, but I accept it. I accept it, and I’m letting it go. I must let it go. I know God’s got me.

Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. How about you?😅

Don’t forget, today is Self-Love Saturday! Remember to treat yourself a little extra special today.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

It’s Done

Whatever you’ve asked of God, know that it’s done. Yes, it’s already done. Now, carry on. He’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Trust God, COMPLETELY!

My Journey With God, No. 47

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

God is moving. He’s moving in a way I don’t always understand, but He’s moving.

I was reading a journal entry from this date a few years ago and found an excerpt attached from January 3, 2015. This basically sums up what I struggle with at times—both needing encouragement and motivation and people not thinking I do.

Momma J is my bonus mom and my Aunt Deloris was my mom’s aunt (I miss her so much).

It just baffles me how people think I don’t have the same needs as everyone else. Like I’m some kind of superhuman or something. As I mentioned back then, I do and handle things like I do because I have to, not always out of choice. But they were both right, it’s made me who I am today. Not sure if that’s always a good thing though.

Anyhoo…

As I said, God is moving. It’s so ironic that I am seeing this today. Yesterday, I revived something (yeah…learning not to over share) I began in 2022. Seeing the snippet of those two conversations confirms I’m moving in the right direction.

Y’all, I’m so grateful and thankful for God’s love. I am truly blessed.🥰

This is all for now. I’m looking forward to spending time with my bonus mom today. She already has a lot planned (tasks) for us to do.🤦🏽‍♀️☺️ I pray you have a wonderful day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Again, Allow God To Lead

Shaun Bradford

Sharing the same message I shared a few days ago—Allow God to lead. You don’t have to understand the task or have all the details. Just be ready to move when God says move.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Trust God. He’s not leading you wrong.

Courage

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Being different takes courage. Are you courageous enough to be different?

You weren’t created to blend in. You were created to be different.

I hope your new year is off to a great start. Mine is going quite well.

Wishing you a wonderful Thursday. Please, please, please stay vigilant and in prayer.🙏🏽♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Smile…

Wanted to send you this message hoping it will help set the tone for your entire year.

The message:

You are loved.

Always, always, always remember that YOU are loved.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

My Journey With God, No. 46

Shaun Bradford

Happy New Year, again!🥂

Sitting here trying to reflect on my 2024, but everything seems a blur. I have journal entries and posts marking moments, but everything seems to have happened without a thought. As if I just flowed through it—which is what I asked for, right? I mean, I did say I just wanted to go with the flow. Laughing because God will give you exactly what you ask for. Gotta love life…

Now, don’t get me wrong, I had many memorable moments, but nothing was a real highlight. So, maybe I need to change my ask this year. This year, I don’t want to just go with the flow. This year I want to experience the spectacular! This year, I want to make memories and moves that I will be talking about for ages.

A week or so before the year ended, I said I was taking the limits off myself and God. Well, they’re off, and I’m challenging myself to stretch beyond what’s familiar and comfortable. I started implementing a few changes before 2024 ended. Ready to see where they take me!♥️ ~Shaun

Shaun, I’m rooting for you, Girl! I got you and God’s definitely got you! Happy 2025!🥂

God’s Got A Blessing

Shaun Bradford

Singing Norman Hutchins’ song “God’s Got A Blessing (With Your Name On It).” The song says—

It makes no difference
What you’re going through
You’re going to make it
God’s going to see you thru
Hold your head up
Put a smile on your face
This is another test
It won’t last always

Get ready for your blessing
Get ready for your miracle
Get ready for your blessing
Get ready for your miracle

Smile and hold your head up! God’s got a blessing with YOUR name on it. That’s right! He sure does. And that blessing is called life, and it has your name all over it.

I know 2024 is coming to an end and you may not have achieved everything you wanted to, but this is not THEE end. Tomorrow’s a new day and a new year, and it’s filled with all kinds of blessings with your name on them. Listen, God’s got you!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
