Don’t be afraid to fail.

Ack!

Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeezzzz!!!

*stomps foot*

*sigh*

I have been trying to teach myself how to transfer videos from Canva to Instagram. I am ready to scream already!!!

Times past, beloveds, I would have used the excuse ‘I don’t know how’ to keep myself from trying the little I HAVE learned.

Now, I try. Badly. I THINK I have figured out that you have to first download the video and then share or some such a thing.

Ack!!!!

SOMETHING is happening. The little white circle IS circling. Perhaps something shall post there. Perhaps not. Still, I am satisfied with my meager attempt to reach out to the world to let someone know they are loved and not alone.

Don’t be afraid to fail, beloveds. Fail, spectacularly. Then, dust yourself off and find something else to tear up until you figure out how…..hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

I used to strive for perfection. Now, I strive to be as excellent as I can possibly be in this terribly frayed and flawed human called Cassandra.

Me is all I have. Me is all I can give. I am satisfied with this old, tore up me that is forever tearing up SOMETHING.

I am seizing THIS day. Shakily. Unhurried. Wondering. How wonderful!

Take care to remember you can only do what you can do. That’s it. KNOWING this, beloveds, why can’t you cut YOU some slack, okay?

asking for A Friend,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I KNOW I have flooded your inboxes, beloveds. Yet, someone is terribly discouraged and on the verge of giving up. I can NOT give up on him/her/them. I dare not. Be encouraged. Keep moving forward. Ever forward. Stop looking at the waves. Don’t fear the storm. You are NOT alone. You SHALL survive AND thrive. I promise.

How do I know? I did. I have. I am. God is no respecter of persons. Meaning, your life, safety and wellbeing is just as important as mine. Your steps are carefully watched, beloveds. Yes, I know. It feels as though your cries have fallen on deaf ears.

You pray. You wait. You pray. You wait. You watch others being blessed. You pray. You wait. You grow soooooooooooooooo weary in your well doing. You pray. You hope. You wait. Your heart fails from the endless waiting.

Tribulation befalls us all. It hurts. That said, once we have been tried, we SHALL come forth as gold. The heat is awful. It’s terribly lonely. The hard is terribly hard to deal with. Be encouraged. All things have an end.

The trial, the hard, is NOT the point. How you come out of the hard, the trial, IS what matters. The bible says to endure hardness ‘as a good shoulder’. More and more, I am understanding what that means. What does it mean? Ah, beloveds, you have to endure to find out!

Don’t give up. Not just yet. Don’t be afraid to fail. Failing does not make you a failure. It just means you have not figured the thing out. That’s okay. You are okay. Everything else will be okay. In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He. Be encouraged.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Your thoughts matter! Let us know how you feel.
