I told God my dreams were too heavy.
He said I know.
He told me to lean upon His Shoulder. That way I could carry them.
I told God I was too tired to continue to carry these dreams unfulfilled.
He said I know and for me to keep trusting.
I told God these dreams are too heavy and not leading me anywhere.
He said stop for a while and catch my breath.
I leaned.
I trusted.
I rested.
I told God my dreams are a bit lighter now.
He said I know and for me to keep going.
going/growing,
Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: This piece is for anyone who is tired and discouraged from holding onto a dream for seemingly too long.
In a way I am thankful my dreams have not come true yet. My writing is different. I am different. I had to learn to keep fighting for myself. I had to learn how to give up on myself. I had to learn to believe in my gift. I had to learn to believe in me no matter what.
I had to learn the only validation I needed which from myself. I had to learn to love myself whether anyone loved me or not.
I had to learn that there was joy even in the midst of sadness and pain and trying and trials and discomfort and being uncomfortable and not knowing what to do.
I had to learn my voice and thoughts were important. Even if only viewed by me. I had to learn my weird was okay. I had to learn that it was okay to not be ok until I became okay.
I had to learn how to stand gracefully. I had to learn how to fall foolishly. I had to learn that I was love whether I stood or I fell.
I had to learn…
Ah.
Aha!
Keep knocking on the door to your dreams beloveds. You don’t know who or what is standing on the other side!
In the meantime, KNOW that you are growing. That you are changing lives. One at a time. Just your being here has changed my life. You help me stay focused. You help me keep a laughing. You help me know that I am loved and not alone.
Be encouraged. You can and you will. Keep putting your work out there. Keep putting yourself out there. Your one day may be today!
I hear a cup of coffee calling me. Care to join me? Let us laugh and visit a while. God will take care of our dreams for a while…
