Maturing, Growing, Evolving, and Becoming

Shaun Bradford

Here’s another gem from my Facebook memories. Y’all, when I wrote it, I had no idea I would ask God to make this side of 50 different. Thought I only needed to tweak a few things. Yeah, that was before the Year50 purge. (Now I can laugh.) But God knew!

As Bishop T. D. Jakes said—please read the blog below for the full impact—“You cannot be who you’re going to be and who you used to be, at the same time.”

I cannot become who I’m meant to be and be the same person I used to be, at the same time. Wouldn’t be honoring God if I did.

Growing

Y’all, if I wanted this side of 50 to be different, I had to intentionally make it different. And that last sentence in my caption. Whew! I would not have been honoring God had I remained the same. Loving this space I am in.♥️

Side note: I am torn between sticking to my schedule of sharing my second post ~ 10:30 AM and posting right after I write. What do you think? Should I stick to my schedule or ditch it and post freely? Today, I’m ditching the schedule because it’s my birthday month!☺️🎉

From Believing to Knowing

Facebook Memory: June 6, 2022

Here’s a much needed reminder that God will give you beauty for your ashes.🌹

God is restoring and replacing all that was lost plus more.

You have been through a lot. More than anyone knows. More than you’ll ever share. Exhale and rejoice! God is giving you beauty for your ashes.♥️

On a personal note. When I wrote this two years ago, I was trying so hard to believe what I was hearing—“God will give you beauty for your ashes.” Even though I wrote it down and shared it, deep down I didn’t completely believe it. Just being honest. I didn’t believe it because I was too distracted with trying to figure out the how and when instead of leaving things in God’s hands. Again, being honest. Y’all, I am not even sure what changed or when it changed. All I know is one day I went from trying to convince myself to believe it could happen to actually knowing it was happening. I knew without a doubt God was restoring and replacing my ashes with beauty. I will say this, it started on the inside, first.

Loving this space I’m in.♥️

This is Year50…

Final Month Of Year50

Shaun Bradford

Listen, this final month of Year50 I am intentionally living it to my fullest. Today, I am letting my hair down and letting Charlene (I also named my hair years ago—Donna inspired) do her thing!! Charlene, do you because you’re 50 too! Yes, I am intentionally enjoying this last month. Blocking any and everything that tries to stop it.

This is Year50!♥️

Letting it flow!
