Chosen For This: Part 3

Shaun Bradford

Went back to read what I had written on my birthday and happened to read what I had written the day before, exactly one year ago. You see, when I shared my first post for today, both quotes were from my Facebook memories. I had decided not to share the captions because I wasn’t really feeling them. Well, little did I remember, I had already shared one of the captions before. Smiling. Here’s what I wrote last year.

Chosen For This: Part 2 – June 23, 2023

“Not going to wait until next year when the Facebook post I shared today pops up as a Facebook memory. Nah… it has to be shared NOW, before Year 50. 

My words of affirmation…

Listen
Listen
LISTEN

Out of BILLIONS, YOU were handpicked to fulfill a purpose that only YOU can fulfill. Do not for one minute think your life has no meaning or you are not worthy of the dreams God placed in your heart. You are different for a reason. You were chosen for this. Not them, but YOU!

Walk in your purpose with confidence! Own it!!!

#Year50 is TOMORROW!!! It’s not what’s happening on the outside. It’s ALL about what’s happening on the inside. Whew!!!

Y’all already know I was pretty emotional when I wrote this. I am so serious and intentional about this next leg of my journey. God has been too good to me for me to keep suppressing His gifts. He made me like I am for a reason. I am Shaun and there is absolutely no other like me. I am one of one, for real.

Blessed!”

In tears. I love me some ME. For real. I am absolutely, without a doubt, one of a kind. Year50 showed me this. There is no one like me. Not at all.

When I tell you I am loving this side of 50!!! I am beyond grateful for the experiences, lessons and blessings of this past year. Never knew I needed them. However, God did! Before this day ends, and I enter another year, I would like to thank God for loving me. For holding my life, heart, and soul in His hands. For His covering and protection. For His mercy and grace. For His gentleness. For showing me, Me. When I tell you I am truly blessed, I mean it.

What a Jubilee Year!!! I made it!!!🎉🎉🎉

Hello Sunday

Shaun Bradford

Today is the final day of Year50!!! This year has definitely been real. One for the books, for sure.

As I head into the rest of this decade there are two things I am certain of: 1) God’s timing is unmatched, and 2) I have been chosen by God to fulfill purposes that only I can fulfill.

Three Days

Shaun Bradford

Remember, life is what you make it. I have chosen to make mine beautiful. God has been too good to me for me not to. I am blessed.

Created on June 21, 2021.

These next three days—the final of my jubilee year—I plan to be intentional about cherishing moments. Not for pictures. Not to write about. But to make sure God knows I am truly grateful for the life, family, opportunities, and things He’s blessed me with. Because y’all, there is no doubt about it, I am truly blessed.🌺

Wishing you a wonderful day and beautifully, blessed weekend. Love you!♥️

Only One Week Away

Shaun Bradford

Hey Y’all! I am only one week away from one of the greatest dates of my life… MY BIRTHDAY!!!🎉🎉🎉

Almost 51! God is soooo amazing! Never, ever imagined being 50. I’m in awe. Grateful and blessed.🌺

Year51 is right around the corner. Smiling because this year, Year50, my Jubilee year, has probably been one of my most interesting years yet—spiritually. Never knew I needed the spiritual awakening I received. This awakening has been the driving force behind so many life changing experiences—mentally, emotionally, financially, physically, etc. Y’all, I am not sure what Year51, or this side of 50, holds; however, I do know this past year was preparation for the rest.

Grateful

Blessed

Cheers to the final week of my Jubilee year. It’s been real… for real!

Praying you have a beautifully, blessed week as we celebrate this last week of my Jubilee year. Yes, we. I am inviting you along. Let’s celebrate!🎉

Love you always,

Shaun

If you haven’t noticed by now, I create my own excitement. Always have and always will. Smile♥️

I Am Worthy of God’s Best

Shaun Bradford

Facebook Memory: May 31, 2022

Affirmation on Repeat:
“I am worthy. Yes, ME. I am worthy of God’s best.”

Listen.. and hear me good.. YOU are worthy of God’s absolute best. You don’t have to settle for less.

Yes, you and me both. We are worthy of God’s absolute best. No more settling for less.

Guess what?! Tomorrow is my birthday month!!!! Listen, I don’t care how old I get, I love celebrating my birthday! Just saying the word birthday makes me feel like I’m a kid again. Smiling. Looking forward to ending my jubilee year on 10 and bringing in Year51 on 100!! Y’all, I am already hyped and I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do. Probably nothing. However, it’s always the excitement leading up to my birthday that’s the true gift. If I happen to actually do something spectacular, then it will be the icing—real buttercream icing—on the cake. Blessed

Anyhoo… Wishing you a wonderful day and magnificent weekend!♥️

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!

Year 50: Five Months In

Shaun Bradford
Yes…I am speaking life and blessings over everything.

Happy 50 years–5 months to me!! Thought Year50, my jubilee year, was going to be a cakewalk. Laughing. This was not the celebration I imagined, but it’s all good. God is shaping and molding me into the woman I am destined to be. Smiling.

Going into this next month of life speaking life and blessings over everything and everyone I touch, reach, and encounter. Everything and everyone in my path will be blessed. Amen

I can hear Donald Lawrence singing, “I Speak Life,” can’t you? Smile.

Good Night!♥️

Celebrating Year 50: Month 4

Shaun Bradford

Happy Birthday to me, again!! Just kidding. I am four months on this side of 50 and although this celebratory journey hasn’t been glamorous, it has been exactly what I have needed. Everyone who knows me knows I like watching God work. Well, I am doing just that. I now have a front row seat watching Him work in my life. You would think I would have been seated here all along, but nooo… I have been seated several rows back… in my own life. Shaking my head. Well, I am now front row at an exclusively, private screening of my own show, It’s Shaun’s World. Yes, I am finally here! Woohoo! And this time I am the main character. Can’t believe it has taken me this long to get here. Well, I did have to take care of my babies; however, I should have also been taking care of myself as well. Hindsight is 20/20, right?

Anyway, over the last four months, as with any good show, I have celebrated, cried, laughed, cried, gained a lot of wisdom, and cried even more. When I tell you these last four months have been intense—almost like a boot camp. As a result, I am stronger, wiser and more focused than ever.

Seriously, God’s been working on me. There were so many areas of my life that I thought I was doing well in only to find out I needed a lot more work. Here’s a quote taken from my Hello Sunday written two years ago.

“I believe God reveals things in stages. He reveals them when He knows we are equipped and ready to move to the next level. Whether we view the revelations as disappointments or blessings, every reveal or “aha” is always on time.”

I was so right. Every revelation has been right on time. Can’t wait to see where this show goes. I have eight more months left in the first of 50+ seasons. Wherever it goes I know that I will always come out on top. You know why? It’s because God is the writer, producer and director of this show. Plus, he loves me! Laughing

That’s all for now. Thank you for celebrating with me! I have a few Facebook memories to share later.

Take Care!♥️
