2025 Is Already Different

Shaun Bradford

So, this year is already starting differently. I decided to watch something I believed would set the tone for this year. Well, what I wasn’t expecting was the tone I received. Laughing because I thought I was watching something that would empower me, but instead, I was introduced to the kind of husband (yes, I’m getting married again) I desired. Y’all, I’m looking for my Jimmy Carter!

Talk about an “Aha” moment!

Before 2024 ended, I said I was going to focus on my personal life this year. Well, I guess this is the beginning.

When I think about it, Jimmy Carter was the kind of person I’ve been seeking since I knew what love was and could be. I mean, why not? He’s been my inspiration since I was in grade school. My purpose—to make this world a better place through love, hope, peace, kindness, and service—began with him. And his relationship with Rosalynn was what I’d always dreamed of having. So many doubt that kind of relationship and love is possible. However, I have never doubted it. I’ve always believed it to be possible. Because I truly believe in love.

Soooo… it’s been Jimmy all this time. Wow!

Here’s an Instagram trailer for the Hulu and Disney+ special I just watched—“Jimmy Carter: A Full Life.” Enjoy!♥️ ~Shaun

Yep, I’m already setting the tone for this year! No more going with the flow.

Welcome to my world!♥️

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!🥂

I slept through the countdown. The fireworks just woke me up. Lol

May your new year bring you an abundance of love, peace, joy, and blessings. May your new opportunities and connections be plenty and successful. This year, say “yes” to the opportunities God sends your way, and “no” to things you know aren’t aligned with your purpose. You’ve already learned your lessons. Now, it’s time to make moves, and make them boldly and unapologetically. Remember, you’re God’s child!♥️

Love you!

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

I Feel The Rain

Shaun Bradford

Leaving 2024 and entering 2025 singing Bishop Paul Morton’s song “Let It Rain.”

The song says—

“Open the floodgates of heaven. Let it rain. Let it rain. … I feel the rain. I feel the rain. I feel the rain. … It’s raining. It’s raining. It’s raining.”

Yes, I can feel the rain! Can’t you?!♥️

Happy New Year’s Eve

Shaun Bradford

Good Morning!☀️

Usually, I have more to say at the end of the year than I do today. Last year I wasn’t feeling well on New Year’s Eve so being in good health is a plus. Here’s what I wrote in my journal moments before midnight.

December 31, 2023: Shaun’s Journal Entry

“I am planning to ease into 2024 with love, peace, joy and gratitude. I am thankful for all that I currently have while looking forward to the blessings 2024 will bring. Not going to allow what’s happening around me to get inside me.”

That’s how I entered 2024 and it pretty much remained the same throughout the year. I entered it with love, peace, joy and gratitude. I expected blessings to come my way, and they did. Also, I didn’t allow what was happening around me get inside me. Since it worked last year, I’m just going to carry it over into 2025.

On another note… I will have a 30 year old in less than a month! I know, I’m saying it like she’s almost 30 months instead of three decades. Laughing. Y’all, it’s crazy! Where did the time go? Honestly, where did it go? And now, what do I do? I guess that’s been the real question lately, what do I do now, personally? I know what to do professionally, but I’m completely lost on the personal side. Y’all, I’ve been a mother the majority of my adult life and before then I was taking care of my siblings—since age six. I’m for real, I have absolutely no idea how to be a regular, single adult. Crazy, huh?! Just thinking about it is mind blowing. Well, I guess I’ll add that to my list of things to figure out or navigate through in 2025. Yes, it’s time I set some personal goals. Feeling excited!

Before I end, I would like to thank God for bringing me and my family through this year unharmed and healthy. I’m not sure what 2025 holds, but I do know God will be with me every step of the way, AND I am going to be obedient and remain covered.

Well, this turned out to be a hodgepodge of ramblings. Smile.

Y’all, God is moving and I’m moving right along with Him. I refuse to be left behind.

That’s all I have and I’m going to publish it as written. I haven’t had a good ramble lately. I pray your year ends with love, peace, joy, and understanding. May it also bring you clarity for the year ahead.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

P.S. And I thought I didn’t have much to say.☺️
