When Fear Comes Calling… Don’t Give It a Chair !❤️

Beloveds,

Today, fear knocked on my hospital room door. Egads!

Actually… it didn’t knock.

It barged right in.

The doctors believe I may have had another stroke. Those are words no one ever wants to hear.

My mind wanted to race ahead and imagine every possible outcome.

But I made a decision.✨

I absolutely refused to fear. ♀️

Now, don’t get me wrong…

Doesn’t mean I wasn’t scared.

Doesn’t mean I didn’t have tears.

Doesn’t mean my heart wasn’t pounding.

It simply meant that I refused to let fear become my decision-maker.

Instead… I prayed. ❤️

I asked God for HIS peace.

Then,  I did something even harder…

I stayed still.

BARELY!

But you know what?

Barely still… is still.

And, God met me there. ✨

Now let me tell y’all something…

There was this really kind… and yes… cute guy nurse. ⚕️

Y’all…

I looked at him and said…

“Will you hold my hand?” ❤️

Don’t judge me, beloveds! 🙄🥰😆

When you’re lying in a hospital bed and life feels uncertain, a gentle hand can remind you that you’re not alone.

So to my sweet nurse…

Thank you. 😊

Thank you for your kindness.😇

Thank you for your compassion.🤩

Thank you for helping bring a little peace into a very difficult day. 😘

Sometimes, God answers our prayers with miracles. ✨

Sometimes with peace. ❤️‍🩹

Sometimes through Scripture. ❤️

And sometimes…

He sends a caring nurse with a warm smile and a hand to hold. 🤩😍

Fear may have come calling… 🤯

But I never invited it to stay. 🤐

Instead…

I invited God in. ❤️

“When I am afraid, I will trust in thee.” — Psalm 56:3 (KJV) ✨ – paraphrase mine…

So if fear is knocking on your door today…

Don’t answer!🏠🧱

Answer faith. 💙❤️💞💯

Answer hope. 🤙

Answer peace. 🙌

Because fear doesn’t get the final word.🤨

God does!❤️🫡

With love always,

Asking for A Friend,

Cassandra ❤️
