Uprooted: No turning back now.

God, Hobbies, Music, Poetry, Running, Song, Writing 1 Minute

Snickers have been hollering for me.

Cherry pie has been calling me.

Chocolate cream pie has been cajoling me.

Cheetos have been beckoning me.

All have been chasing me, beseeching me, begging me to slide back into comfort eating and comfort.

I tell them no. I tell myself no way!

Life is uncomfortable. God is silent. I don’t know which way to turn. Egads!

That said, beloveds, there can be NO turning back for me. No way. No how.

Yes, I am questioning me. Yes, I am asking many an unanswered question to God, to Life, to The Universe.

All are silent.

All is still.

Waiting.

For me.

To move.

To stand.

To follow.

Where shall I move?

Forward.

What shall I stand on?

Faith.

Business.

With ten toes down!

Who shall I follow?

Him.

There is no turning back for me. I have to tell myself this EVERY day, beloveds. I’m not used to living among the uncomfortable and unknown.

All my life, I have been taught to fear the unknown. I have been taught to live my life afraid. I know folk were well-meaning. They just passed on the fear they were taught to live with.

This may seem ridiculous and backward, but I have been learning how to live without fear through some terrifyingly difficult and unknown days.

How? Because I am forced to use my faith muscles. Daily, I am forced to choose between fear or faith. Daily, I choose faith. Every now and again I hide because I am too tired and afraid to choose for the day.

On those days, like today, I promised to at least reach out and encourage folk to keep going. Doing this uplifts me. It gives me hope I will be able to tell fear to kick rocks, on the morrow.

Until then, I hide out. Until then, I hope someone is carrying my terrified heart around in their pocket.

asking for A Friend,

Cassandra

Note: Be encouraged. Fear is nothing more than coward masquerading as truth…

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
