The emojis saved my fingers but conveyed ALL my feelings after FINALLY finding out WHERE in the fresh heckamiah the stupid bugs were coming from.

Wtw?!

I had to have one of the back walls cut out to fix something going on back there. Then, after the stupid tornado, after they had to replace the roof, I was fighting Armageddon.

I was well equipped. Finally, I got a stash of bombs to go to actual war. First, I had to know where Thanos was hiding his army.

The other day, I was tired. Tired. Tiiiiiiiiiiired. I prayed. I asked God to show me where.

This is where, smh, I have gots to add a PSA…😳

Beloveds, do try to be a tad more specific when you ask God/Life/The Universe to reveal things to you. They got jokes. They can and DO deliver your answer in a variety of ways. Don’t go getting mad at them for giving you what you stupidly, er, hastily, er, not thinkingly asked for.

Back to my story…*sigh*

I prayed and asked to find out where the source of the bugs were coming from. I decided to do a load of laundry. I had music blaring loudly. When I went to put the laundry in the dryer, there was water everywhere! Fresh heckamiah.

Alas, beloveds, the dryer had danced it’s way out of it’s resting place. In its place was water, water, water, and more water. Steam started to come from the wall. The steam, I guess, stirred where the blasted bugs were hiding.

A Thanos battle ensured. Spray went every which a way. I hollered. I screamed. I raged at everything, at everyone, at all of life.

At least, beloveds, I knew where to put the bombs to get rid of these stupid bugs. See, maintenance is rebuilding all the apartments the tornado damaged. It’s a super old building. In tearing out the old, to replace with the new, old irritants, like these stupid bugs, have invaded my space.

I can’t be mad at these dumb bugs. They were here first. All I can do, now, is to keep on fighting until they decide to move on. A life metaphor. I think.

I HAVE to think that way. Why? Because I would move the heck out of dodge! I detest bugs!!!….*shiver*.

I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me.

Don’t get mad when truth shows up in ways you did not expect. It may not be delivered on a bed of roses. It may be delivered on a pile of, uh-oh. Receive truth where it can be found. Don’t get mad when truth shows up to show you where the bugs are. Just get to fighting those bad boys when they show up…lol.

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Life sure has been lifing. That’s okay. I’m still being about being about it. I don’t recognize this me. The me I am becoming. I look at her with curiosity. This me. This particular shade of me has been more resilient, more shaky, more unsure, more humble, more peculiar, more grateful than I would have thought or suspected.

Ah, me, what do I do now? Asking for a friend.

Be encouraged, beloveds. We can do so much more than we ever imagined.

I’m living for ME. Not for sis. Not because she died. She died. I will miss her for the rest of my life. Still, my life was meant to go on without her HERE. I still love her. She still loves me. I just have to love her in a different way.

Beloveds, lay down the weight of anger at life having given you a loss. Yes, loss hurts. Still, WE are here. Still, we have opportunity to grow, to love, to laugh, to rejoice.

We can STILL do all the things we wanted. Without some loved ones. Without some things we thought we would take with us. That’s okay. We have what we need to advance, to love, to grow.

Keep going. Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. It’s hard. I’m not saying it’s easy. I AM saying it is doable. How do I know? I fight my way out of bed EVERY day. I fight on. Why? Life needs me. Life needs YOU, beloveds.

The world NEEDS what only we can share. The world NEEDS our words. The world NEEDS our joy. The world NEEDS our resilience. The world NEEDS our dreams. The world NEEDS our light. The world NEEDS…you get my point.

Now, beloveds, get on out there and LIVE. For you. Let those who have done their time, rest. Then, get on with YOUR life. We have to, beloveds. We have to.

There are so many moments, in EVERY second, of EVERY day, when I wonder how, in the name of all that is holy, I will find the want to to even want to keep it moving, without mom, without sis.

Then, my want to lets me know how much I very much want to. I do. I want to live. I want to experience joy. I want to find out what is around the next corner.

Who “wants” to go with me? Asking for a friend.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
