Wow!
So THAT just happened.
*Cassandra stairs at the shattered computer screen while shaking her head in disbelief.*
I was just writing some pieces about staying encouraged and not giving up no matter what. I have been writing, on my work break. The work break, was over. I feel. I hurt my knee. The only thing saving me, from serious injury, was bracing myself using my laptop. It was either the laptop or me. Or, my 50 inch television. I chose the laptop.
Now, I write these words through the small bit of screen left. Still, I write. With scraped up knees, I write. With sore fingers, I write. With tears in my eyes, I write.
Ironically, I was in mid sentence talking about the need to continue doing what was necessary, even when it’s hard. I look at the spiderweb, now called my computer screen, and cry. I love my laptop. They don’t make them this way anymore.
I spent the next 15 minutes texting some a few friends and my family. A friend called and prayed for me. She told me she loves me. She told me I should know how much I was loved. Tell that to my shattered dreams, my heart says. Tell that to my shattered computer, my tired souls says.
I’m trying, desperately, to make lemonade out of these lemons. I can’t. My hand hurts. My heart hurts. Ah, well. What a week I am having, I tell myself, with a laugh. I think I should go talk to The Father about this. Maybe, He will say words that will comfort my spirit. I hope so.
No weapon…
I have fallen. I shall get up! I have to. Life is short. I have pieces to finish. I have a life to live. I refuse to live in fear. I refuse to stop encouraging people. If I have to do that from a shattered screen, so be it.
I don’t know how I will make my way, financially. God knows. I trust Him. I shall wait, patiently. That said, I hear a good cry calling for me.
Be encouraged, beloved. No matter what happens. All things really will work for your good. I don’t know what lesson today was supposed to teach me. All I know, as I refuse to allow how I feel to stop me from encouraging you. From encouraging me.
You’re a know what I’m about to say:
You are loved.
You are not alone. Keep on being you.
Broken but joyful still,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: keep moving forward, beloved. Always, forward. The rest, if you must. Then, keep moving…
Forward. Life is what to make it. Make it a good one. I promised me that I would have allowed nothing to get in my way. Including, me. Especially, me! In the past, I would have been distraught I would have blamed the universe. I would’ve blamed God. I do what have taken to my bed.
Now, I don’t have time. I have a life to live. So you. Shattered, broken, no matter. We are still here. Life is still worth living. God is still good.. I’m so thankful for all that I have. I’m so thankful for all the hard floor, hard just keeps introducing me to another side of me. I like this me.
