Mountain mover: One pebble at a time.

Writing 1 Minute

I move mountains.

Every day.

One pebble at a time.

I used to think I had to move the whole thing. In one fell swoop.

Some can.

Some do.

I used to compare myself to the big earth movers.

Not anymore.

I am content.

Here.

Home.

Financially barely scraping by. The bills grow larger as my check grows smaller.

That matters not to me.

Not anymore.

I used to define myself by how long, how hard, how devotedly I worked for God, for Life, for others.

Not anymore.

Now, I KNOW my try is enough.

For, God.

For, Life.

For, me.

No, it’s apparently not enough for some.

The world wants to run me ragged.

Some folk want me to run myself ragged.

For, them.

Removing THEIR mountains.

For years, decades even, I tried my best to remove as many of folks mountains as I could.

In between that, I tried to remove a bit of my own. Yet, was sooooo exhausted from doing THEIR WORK I did not have the energy for my own.

Thankfully, God and Life cared enough about ME and gently pried the shovel from my weary hand.

They taught me how to rest. Then, taught me to just work on removing one pebble at a time.

I started with fear. One pebble. One step. One pebble. One step. One pebble. One step.

Until, I had cleared the path. Only to discover anxiety right behind. Boy, THAT anxiety mountain was a beast to clear.

Yet, clear I did. One pebble. One step. One pebble. One step. One pebble. One step.

Until, I had cleared a path. Only to discover doubt right behind.

Yet, I continue to clear…

One pebble.

One step.

Keep going, Cassandra. You can do this.

You CAN.

You WILL.

moving mountains one pebble at a time,
