Sometimes, you just gotta wash the dishes.

What a day.

Storms within.

Storms without.

Literally.

Bad enough my phone got to hollering for me to take immediate shelter. 😳

I had to tell my caller I have to take cover.

I was afraid.

I was terrified.

I wanted to cry.

God told me to cry.

I told God I was going to try to be a big girl and have a positive attitude.

My heart told me to shut up and take God up on offer to go ahead and cry.

My β™₯ heart cried.

I was too shaken to return to work.

I told work to kick rocks.

I wondered what to do next.

God said to wash the dishes.

I told God I was too shaken and scared.

God said wash dishes.

I washed dishes.

My spirit said thank you.

I refuse to live in fear. I acknowledge it. Feel it. Then tell fear to kick rocks and get on with me day.

I have Doritoes waiting for me.

Come hang out with me as we walk through these storms. The storms DID pass. Felt like they would never end. ALL things have their end. The trick is how we end up AFTER the storm.

I am at peace.

I think I shall climb upon The Father’s Lap and share with Him how scared I felt.

I used to beat myself up for being weak. Meaning, it was never okay for me to be anything but strong. At ALL times. Alone.

I don’t have to be strong.

Why?

Because:

I am loved.

I am NOT alone.

Neither, beloveds, are you.

Note: If no one has told you today: I love you. Be encouraged. Be good to you when you are afraid. Everything WILL be okay. Sometimes, we just need someone to remind us.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

      1. How on earth do you know when to give a word of kindness? I have been getting yelled at ALL day from folk upset about things I can do nothing about. I was super discouraged for a while. I have been laughing through sad. You are a beautiful soul. Be encouraged. I look forward to your visits. P.S. You sure were awful loud in my pocket and ate the last of the Doritoes.πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ€£πŸ‘‹
