Purpose|Growth

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: March 15, 2023

Embrace where you are at this current moment. No, it’s not where you are meant to stay. It’s where you need to be for a specific purpose as well as for growth. Find out what you can glean from this experience.♥️

What are you gleaning from your current experiences?

That was a year ago. Here are a few lessons I have gleaned:

Spend as much quality time as possible with the people you love. They could be here today and gone tomorrow.

My superwoman days are winding down. I am not as strong as I used to be…or as strong as I once thought I was. I must—not an option anymore—take more care of myself than I do others.

Obedience, patience and trust. To be obedient even when things do not make sense. To be patient while God works. To trust God with all things. Again, it’s time for me to hang up my cape.

Honestly, I feel like I am exiting a place I have been in for a while. I have outgrown it and am now entering another phase of life. I do not know what it holds; however, as I mentioned before, I am trusting God with all things. Expecting greater.

I pray you have a wonderful day and beautifully, blessed weekend. Please take care of yourself. Love you!♥️

Listen…You Better Live!

Shaun Bradford

Okay…this message is mainly for myself. However, if it resonates with you, by all means, use it.

More and more I am feeling the urge to drop everything and only focus on myself—which is something I have been struggling to do for a while now. Every time I think, “This is it!”, I end up doing the exact opposite. Last night, my 21 year old niece reminded me that my kids are grown and I should be living it up. And she’s right, I should be. My kids have been saying the same since my son started college. Well, after the year I have had, I believe it’s time for me to start listening. They are doing well, and everyone else will be just fine. Now, it’s my time. It’s time for me to finally live!♥️ ~Shaun

Like…for real! Stop putting things off.

It’s Time to Stop Hiding

Shaun Bradford

Below is a quote by motivational speaker, Dr. Cheryl Wood. I shared it on this date five years ago (March 13, 2019). Back then, I was definitely hiding. Didn’t want to be noticed. Little did I realize I wasn’t just hiding myself from the world, but I was hiding my gifts. I was downplaying my purpose and calling. Well…no more!

I AM HERE!

Are you hiding your brilliance or downplaying your gifts? If so, today is the day to stop! Today is your day to come out of hiding and SHINE!

Love you!♥️

Beyond Blessed

Shaun Bradford
Whew!!! My God!! Thank you!!!

“Beyond blessed,” is what I shared on this date last year, and it is exactly what I am feeling today. Feeling blessed, thankful, and grateful. Words can’t even begin to describe how thankful I am for the love, kindness, and support we received from thousands to help us get Marley back home. Y’all, please don’t let the negativity fool you, there is more good in the world than evil. Let’s embrace the good. Love you!♥️

Overthinking

Shaun Bradford

I needed this reminder today because that is exactly what I have been doing lately—overthinking. Last night I told my daughter that I couldn’t stop. I couldn’t turn my mind off. Seems like I have been trying to solve everyone’s problems lately, and none are directly mine. Yesterday, I could feel my body changing. I had become so stressed and tense. Had to force myself to do something other than work or think. Decided to put down my phone and watch “Annie,” the Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis one. I needed that bit of relief. I’m promising myself to do better today.♥️ ~Shaun

Good Morning! Here’s today’s social media find. I’m always thinking… often overthinking. Always trying to figure things out or solve a problem. Life is a mystery. We cannot predict what will happen next. We can only assume what will happen. Very few things in my life, have happened as expected. Honestly, I don’t believe anything has ever gone exactly as planned or imagined. So, today, I plan to stop overthinking and just let go. Totally trusting God.

Praying and trusting God to do His job because it’s not on me to do. I must remember my place. God’s got everyone I am concerned about. Trusting Him.🙏🏽

It’s Not Over

Shaun Bradford

I can hear Maurette Brown Clark singing, “It Ain’t Over.”

The song says:

“It ain’t over until God says it’s over. Keep fighting until your victory is won.”

Keep fighting until your victory is won.

Love you!♥️

Humility

Shaun Bradford

Humility is defined as freedom from pride or arrogance: the quality or state of being humble. (Merriam-Webster)

Facebook Memory: March 11, 2023

Humility is the key to happiness and success. It allows God to move freely. Remember, humbleness is where ego ends and God begins. Stay humble.💙

Please keep the prayers going.

Thank you!♥️

If God said it, it’s already done. Period! Trust the process.

Trust the process.

Wishing you a lovely day and an amazing week!♥️

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford
Amen 🙏🏽

Hello Sunday…

Yesterday I said I would fill you in on what prompted my post, Thankful for God’s Mercy and Grace. Well, without going into too much detail, my sister had to be hospitalized after developing postpartum preeclampsia. By yesterday afternoon, all of her vitals and labs were back to normal and she was able to go back home to her babies. It was a very long and scary week.

Now, I am waking up to news that a friend’s 17 year old daughter is missing. Whew!! I don’t even know how to process this one. This is her only child.

Also, now that I am finally awake and alert, I remember my son waking me up last night saying he had gotten a ticket on his way home from work. I looked to see if I had missed his call, but hadn’t. Y’all, I was exhausted by the time I got home. Once I hit the bed, I was out.

When I tell you I am so grateful he made it home safely. He’s been pulled over before for no real reason. They made him get out the car and everything. Ended up telling him he was stopped because his tag was hanging (it wasn’t). From then on, I told him to let me know when he left work or to call me on his way home. He didn’t do either.

Please keep my friend in your prayers. She’s very reserved and conservative and stays to herself. Her daughter and husband are her life. I can’t even begin to imagine what she’s going through.

Life… It does what it does. Believing God for another miracle. Amen
