I love helping folk. Doing for them. Encouraging them. Trying my best to help make their way straight, their day easier, their life just a bit better, if I can.
I spare no expense, think countless hours and efforts are worth it, if it will be of service or help.
Yet, I have found, I don’t, or didn’t, give myself that same effort, care, grace, etcetera that I enthusiastically gave to others.
I put myself last. Rather, put myself in the ‘will get to it’s pile. Only, my turn just never seemed to get to BE my turn.
I had someone else to help. Work took up too much effort and time. Someone else needed the thing more.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Years turned into decades. God and Life would keep reminding me that, um, these years are, in fact, turning into, well, decades, beloved.
God and Life would suggest, ask, encourage me what to do and how to do. For me.
“I will get to it. I will get to me. I will get to Your Will. I just have things I want to DO for You, first.”
I had not the first clue, how I would magically do these masterful things for God and Life. Figured I would figure things out. When I got around to getting around to doing for ME.
Rinse.
Repeat.
*sigh*🤷♀️
I can’t tell you what finally made me decide to decide to give ME that same effort, that same care, that same love.
I can tell you why, though. It was The Relentless Love of God, of Dad, for ME. Yes, He said, He loved me loving on folk, helping folk, encouraging folk. He just needed me to start loving on me more, better, relentlessly pursuing me, doing me on me!
It took a while. Still learning how, to be honest.
I am giving ME equal time now. So, I can keep going. In order to keep growing. So, I can continue to keep showing others how to BE, how to LOVE, how to LIVE.
How?
By:
BEing.
LIVEing.
LOVEing:
God.
Life.
You.
Me.
While you are also being, living, and loving, be sure to do you on YOU. Give yourself that same level and care you generously, graciously, relentlessly give to the world.
I am free.
I am full.
I am unapologetically, His.
I remain unapologetically, yours.
I love you, beloveds.
Here,
Cassandra

Sometimes looking after yourself is looking after others. You can’t help them if you’re not well enough.
