Month: April 2025

(Algo)rythm: Willing to be led. By Him.

I am…

Willing to be led. By Him.

Even when I don’t understand Him.

Even when I can’t see His Hands moving in  my life.

Even as I wonder if I am being still enough to hear HIS Voice.

I’m trying best to look up and to stop looking at my age and empty bank account.

My time WILL come. I WILL make it. Some kind of way.

I trust God. Even when life is hard.

Be encouraged, beloveds. We are NOT alone.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Heart ❤ check whatever day this is.

Hey there, beloveds.

I stopped by to check on your heart. How are YOU doing?

I’m saying extra prayers for us all. I must admit it has been mighty tough to keep negative tapes from playing in my mind. I REFUSE to allow that to happen.

The battle is ALWAYS fought, and won, in the mind, FIRST.

Be encouraged. Try not to stare too long at the waves. Just get on over to the other side.

In case no one has told you today: I love you.  So does He.

praying for us all,
Cassandra

Keep doing the boring stuff, er, stacking days.

Note: I have been sitting here, doing some incredibly tedious editing work. And, I mean boooooorrriiinnnggggg monotonous work.

Normally, I would enjoy the monotony. With a fever, the monotony is driving me up ten walls.

Still, it’s helping me take my mind off of not feeling well. Okay, it’s not but it needs to be done anywho.

I figure if I do this, now, I will save a bunch of time and be able to enjoy the fun stuff, later.

Delayed gratification. Curse words in these days and times.

I AM proud of the proverbial editorial wood I have been stacking for the last few hours. 

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

Don’t give up in the middle.

Don’t give up, beloveds. There is so much more for you to experience.

Take time to celebrate your try. You have done all you know. You have done well.

Take care of that beautiful heart of yours.

My dreams would not let me sleep in today.

Dreams: Let’s goooooo!!!

*pout*

I was taking a perfectly fine nap, in a perfectly fine bed, having a perfectly fine time.

My dreams got to hollering for me to get up and get a move on. Even lazy was in a hurry. Later had already started the kettle.

Geeezzz.

*yawn*

I figured I may as well pass on the savings….

Let’s goooooooooo, beloveds!

2025 is ours!

Seize these moments!

Chase the victory, not the trophy, Cassandra!

God: Chase the victory, NOT the trophy.

Me: Isn’t the point of the race to win the trophy?

God: You tell me.

Me: The world says it’s ALL about the trophy. The bigger the better. What’s more, it HAS to be the first place trophy!

God: What do YOU say? What do YOU think? This is YOUR race. YOU are the one entered. Why are YOU in THIS race?

Me: Because…hhmm. I have ALWAYS been in a race. Of some sort. For someone. To get…*shrug*. It’s hard to keep track of which race I am running. It’s impossible to remember what trophy I am trying to win to earn validation from him, from her, from them. Real talk, I run, frantically, to keep up with everyone else’s running.

God: Why are they running? What have they won? In winning, what was won?

Me: The cheers of the crowd, I think. The feeling that came from hoisting the trophy, I suspect. I’m not sure. I’m too busy running everyone else’s race.

God: That being the case, chase the victory, not the trophy.

Me:

Beloveds, the game is NOT about the trophy. Get in there and compete. Do your best. Tip your cap to the winner. Even if it’s not you.

Note: Why are you in the game? Enjoy every second of it. Most are afraid to step u to the plate. Take your swings. So what if you strike out. You don’t have to be the one hitting the home run.

Learn from as many folk as you can.

I used to be a creature of habit.

I liked things how I liked them. Exactly. The same. Over and over.

To some extent, beloveds, I will ALWAYS be a creature of habit.  Over some things. My coffee HAS to be just so. My bacon HAS to be just so crispy.

I HAVE to flop a certain way, in bed. Else, ths bed just does NOT feel right…*pout*.

I’m learning to be more adaptable with learning. I’m learning to learn from as many different type of folks as I can.

Older folk. Younger folk. Folks with accents. Folk from different countries.

True story, I used to be intimidated learning from folk from other countries. They seemed super smart and way too “over my head”. They weren’t. Once, I gave them a chance. Once I gave ME a chance.

I have learned so much just from being WILLING to learn from different sources.

I hope you are having a fantastic day. If not, turn your day around. It’s up to you, not your circumstances, the day you shall have.

Be encouraged.

Me, during these storms.

Sometimes, beloveds, a good laugh can do wonders for a weary heart.

Be encouraged. Hang in there. Storms do pass. Eventually. Okay, God. Enough already!…hehe.
