Keep reaching out.

Writing 2 Minutes

Keep reaching out.

Even when and as silence greets you.

Keep on keeping on.

You can do this.

You can.

I have been saying the same, believing the same, TRYing the same for at least the last 34 years.

I will be honest, beloveds. A bit ago, I began to feel like SUCH the failure. Because of the decades long of saying, hoping, believing, trying. I had watched others I had prayed for and rooted for living out the lives I had prayed and hoped for.

Yet, MY prayers, well, they seemed to be, stay and frustratingly remain, unanswered. Still.

One day, in tears, I angrily told God I didn’t know what I was doing wrong. Told Him I had NO idea I was praying wrong. I searched and searched for whatever the world I was obviously not seeing, being doing in all of this trying to TRY. Crap…*sigh*.

One day, I was sharing this with my twin. My wombie. She smartly and rightly reminded me that I was here, still, in the fight. All these years. I was me, still. I was loved. Still.

God told me, reminded me all those years, tears, struggle, fight, flight, return, try, try, try, cry, cry, cry, cry, were but me laying my foundation on this thing, this legacy, called me. I have been laying an unseen foundation of faith, hope, joy, love, laughter, fortitude, integrity, and a million other things the world were not privvy to see. All while, God was/is using those things to encourage others, encourage me, build an eternal legacy others will use as a bridge as they make their way to their own hopelessly never ending silent, not coming true, what in the world is this and why is it taking so long dream.

Until then, I continue to write. I continue to hope. I continue to check an empty inbox in search of those who could use my particular goulash or a teeny tiny oyster cracker.

This morning, i checked my inbox and one person was there! Awesome. Maybe, others may follow? Maybe not. I have goulash and an oyster cracker waiting.

As you wait, beloveds, for whatever your heart and life is currently yearning, straining, longing for, keep on keeping on. You are building a legacy for others to follow. Your steps are helping others to achieve their dreams. Your love is feeding other needing to be filled souls. Your joy is giving others the courage to lift up their discouraged heads. Your TRY is giving others the inspiration to also use their TRY.

Try, beloveds. This is ALL God and Life requires of you. Stop being so hard on you. You are doing all that you know. Let that be enough. Leave the outcome to God and Life. Enjoy this day. Your day. You may fill it with anything you wish. Oh, I so wish you will CHOOSE to fill it with a heaping helping of love, laughter, joy and peace. Share some. With others. Beginning with you.

Take care and know you are loved and not alone.

your friend,

Cassandra
