Real talk: The scariest person you will ever face in your life is you.

Yikes!

Whew!

That’s what I said, beloveds, after running into the scariest person I have ever met. Me.

Yep, who knew that I could be so darned scary?!

Only God and Life knew that I was:

Fearless.

Breathtaking.

Undaunted.

Indefatigable.

Relentless.

Brave.

Yea, who knew that I was ALL those things, and a million mighty more. That is, once I had beat the hell out of fear, anxiety, doubts and all their minions and opinions.

Since then, I have been storming castles, busting down walls, chasing bandits/fiends/foes. I’ve been taking names, dishing out pain, to all that has stood in my way.

I no longer cower, in corners. I corner, the pursuer. I pursue that which had previously pursued me.

I, now, conquer, my days. I, now, dominate, my hours. I allow nary a moment, no, not one, to go,without notice. With INTENTION, I make my way through.

Ah, world, best get to steppin’ girl. Else, I may be coming for you! Don’t make me throw hands. Don’t make me come looking for my blessings, my hopes and my dreams.

Let’s get going now, Life. I gotta a lotta living to do! Life is much too short. We’ve got books to write. We’ve got burdens to share. We’ve got a million places to be!

Let’s get after it now, God. Life is much too short. We’ve got folks to love. We’ve got hearts to hug. We’ve got all manner of work to do!

Let’s get after it now, Sweetheart. Life is much too short. We’ve got folks who are in darkness who need your light. We’ve got folks who have given up who need your fight. We’ve got mountains, and valleys to see!

Can’t believe I spent sooooo many years living in and with fear. When ALL I had to do was trust God, trust Life, trust the gifts They gave and tell fear and anxiety to kick rocks.

I spend my days, now, kicking butts and taking down names. I no longer care how long or ask how much or say why me.

Now, I ask fear and anxiety how long and how much more can they stand getting beat down by me! Ha!

Lift up your head, beloved. Look in the mirror. Your champion is staring back at you!

Lift up your hands, beloved. Reach forth and claim all that is for you!

Lift up your countenance, beloved. Dry your eyes. Deliverance has come for you!

This is the day that God has made. Rejoice and be glad in it.

Fear not, beloved. For, the scariest person you will ever face is you. And she/he/they are a bad mama jamma!

fearless,

Cassandra
