Why you mad?

Why you mad, fear?

Just because I no longer fear you.

Why you mad, doubt?

Just because I no longer hear you.

Why you mad pride?

Just because I no longer allow you to run my life.

Why you mad, anger?

Just because I don’t allow you to get all up in my feels.

Don’t be mad. I’m not mad at you. I just don’t have time for you. I got thangs to do.

doing thangs,

Note: I have been fussing and fighting with bugs every since I was too lazy to take out the trash. Now, I have to take the time and expense to fight my way free. I ain’t mad. I am just doing the work to work my way free of bugs of my own making.

Keep working your way free of your dumbness or lazy. Remember not to be too hot on yourself. Be hard on pride. Be hard on apathy. Be hard on unforgiveness. Be hard on giving up. Just don’t be too hard on yourself.

Remember you are loved and not alone. You can do this.

Chosen: Yes YOU!

God: I choose YOU.

Me: Who am I?

God: Mine.

Me: Your what?

God: My:

Everything.

Love.

Laughter.

Joy.

Inspiration.

Hope.

Reason.

Me: Who ME?!

God: Yes YOU.

Me: But, I have…nothing.

God: Yet, you mean everything to Me.

Me: Why?

God: Ah, great question. Keep asking…

Me: The world says You aren’t real and that You don’t care anyway or anymore.

God: How could I not care if I’m not there?

Me: Good question. Why are You impossible to understand?!

God: AM I?

Me: You are!

God: I Am…hehe. Get it?!…*God cracks up at His Humorsomeself*

Me: Okay, so that WAS funny. Speaking of which, You are not supposed to be fun(ny). You are supposedly:

Mean.

Judgemental.

Sending the wide world to hell or some such every other five seconds when we are all acting ten kinds of fools and causing hell everywhere.

God: Who on earth told you such foolishness.

Me: Fool-, er, the world.

God: Why didn’t/don’t they just ask Me? I have chosen them also.

Me: They are too afraid of You. Or, mad at You. Or, think they are too messed up or have messed up.

God: Do Me a solid. Tell them I love them. Nuff said.

Me: Bet! Brb…

Pppsssst, beloveds, I was praying for all. Whilst doing so, this silly piece popped into my brain. God says to tell you that you are loved and that you are NOT alone.

I have to admit something. This piece terrifies me. It’s me at my full silliness. God keeps prompting me to let my fool silly out. I keep wanting to argue with Him. We have been having the same argument for decades.

I don’t write like anyone. I don’t minister like anyone. I am serious and silly all at the same time. I tried not to be this way. I still try not to be this way. Who will take me serious I wonder? I can’t help it though. I have fun when I talk to God. He makes me laugh. He makes me feel ridiculous.

I cannot tell you how many times I have been chasticed by Christians. I guess this is why it is so important for me to let folks know to keep being themselves.

God keeps prompting me to start a podcast. I don’t know how. I don’t know who would listen. I don’t know who would care. Ah. The truth comes out. I see a bit of fear popping up here. Which is exactly why I will find a way.

You have been chosen beloveds. For what? That is for you to find out. If you don’t know or trust or believe in God, ask The Universe. You will run into God and do course.

Until then, keep living your life. Life is short. Keep asking questions. Keep lifting your head. Keep forgiving yourself some mistakes and move on from them. Keep loving a world who could care less about you.

Be encouraged. Don’t let fear hold you back from speaking. Even if your words are not received or understood.

I hope you know how precious and priceless you are. Be good to you. Stop looking at your life as a mistake. Begin as many times as you need to. I begin again with you.

walking towards who knows,

Cassandra

Note: You got me. Keep going. Don’t let you get in your way this week. Tell nonsense no.

Life doesn’t have to be a battle.

Life doesn’t have to be a battle.

Life doesn’t have to be an endless skirmish.

Life can be:

A moment.

A breath.

A sigh.

A wonder.

wondering at the breathless wonder called life,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Don’t allow the world to take the wonder out of life. Live.

You are loved. You are NOT alone. Keep on being… YOU

You can change the world God said to me.

God: You can change the world.

Me: How?

God: Ah, great question. Keep asking.

Me: Ah, God…

I have been asking how for fifty five years. I don’t know how to change the world. I don’t know how to change me. I don’t know how changing me would change the world. God keeps saying it will. God keeps saying I will.

Ah, God.

You can change the world, beloveds.

How?

Keep asking.

In the meantime:

Love.

Love changes things. Love changes us. Love changes the world.

Ah.

Aha!

changing the world with MY love,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Keep changing the world. One heart at a time. Starting with you…

You are loved. You are NOT alone. Keep on being… YOU

Terrified but not afraid.

Change can be terrifying.

The unknown be scary.

Darkness can appear to be loud and terrifying.

Unknown things lies in a darkness.

So what?

God lives in a light and the darkness.

I am protected.

I am unafraid.

Bullies are loud. They have to be. They know they have no real strength. The strength they have of their perception. Rather our perception of them.

Don’t be afraid of the dark. Don’t be afraid of walking in darkness. Don’t be afraid of the unknown. Don’t be afraid of change.

If you find yourself afraid, so what? Keep going. You are loved and you are not alone.

going with you,

Cassandra

Note: Tell fear to shut up all that noise. You got thangs to do…

Keep starting over.

Keep starting over. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0GDUd3OYpt/?igshid=NmJiYWZiY2E0Mg==

Keep starting over.

And over.

And over.

Nuff said.

Use the time you have.

What the what the!?

System issues.

Again.

I had to take the rest of the day off from work.

I used that time wisely. I took a nap.😊🥰😆

I decided to stop wasting my time. I got up and started writing. I started walking towards my dream.

Get up beloveds. When life gives you some free time don’t waste it sleeping. Get up and live. Keep moving towards your dreams.

I am doing my level best to use the time I have wisely. I don’t know how much time I have left. I choose to lose that time encouraging you. Encouraging me.

I’m pretty tired. I would like to rest just a bit. I would like to experience what my dreams are like in real time. I would love to be sitting by the ocean. Maybe one day. Until that day comes…

living while waiting,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: Just sitting here listening to my favorite music. What if these artists had stayed sleeping?! Get up now, beloveds. We got thangs to do! Remember you are love and not alone.

I’m sorry hard.

I’m sorry hard.

The world has given you a bad rap.

The world has convinced us you are a bad thing.

You are the best thing that has ever happened to me hard.

I blamed God for sending you to me hard.

God knew what I did not:

Hard is the gateway to miracles.

Hard is a champion of try.

Blessings, honor and truth, reside in hard.

Only those who are willing to set aside pride can win hard.

Hard does not care how much money you have.

Hard does not care what you look like.

Hard does not care where you live.

Hard only works for those who try.

Hard only cares as much as you care.

Hard only sends The Universe to help those who try.

God sends hard when we ask for a miracle.

Ah.

Aha!

I’m sorry hard.

I’m sorry I was so hard on you for being so hard on me.

Thank you hard. For showing up and showing out. You helped bring out the best in me.

Now I don’t worry if I can. I just try. I leave the outcome up to God and The Universe.

When I asked for comfort, hard, God sent me you.

Thank God.

Thank you.

thankful for the hard,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: If you are going through something hard, just now, get excited! The Universe trusts you to go through hard picking up treasures, along the way. God is trusting you to learn hard is not there to defeat you. Life is trusting you to understand hard is simply a part of…life!

Live. Love someone starting with yourself. Remember you are loved and not alone. Keep moving forward no matter what happens in your life. All times pass whether they be good or bad. All things come to an end whether they be happy or sad.

It’s not about the cost. It’s about paying the price.

I needed a phone. The phone I paid eight hundred for was on the fritz. I bought the refurbished version and paid a hundred and fifty three dollar for that.

I needed a phone. Still. Phooey.

My internet provider offered me a new phone plan and a cheap phone for fifty dollars. I looked at the cheap price and dismissed it out of hand. Ha!

I needed a phone. Still. Phooey.

I bought the fifty dollar phone.

I love my fifty dollar phone.

Who knew?

Life did. Why It kept prompting me to get the 50 dollar phone. Smart one, that I am, I chose the more expensive route. Smh.

I don’t know why we keep falling for the foolishness. That because it is extra expensive and pretty it has to be the right thing. Ha!

Maybe because we don’t often feel as if we are enough. We think we have to have expensive things to make us more worthy.

I’m glad I have learned that I am wonderful just because I was born. So are you.

Back to my cheap phone. I love it. It does everything I have needed and more.

You are everything and more. Your model is what the world needs. The package you were born in is what the world needs. Everything you need is already inside you. Keep being the precious thing called you.

What price are you willing to pay to have your dreams come true? Make a new dreams come true will cost you everything. Are you willing to pay the price? Are you willing to count the cost?

I’m willing to pay the price for the rest of my life if needed. The cost is well worth it. I am worth it. So are you. Getting there is no longer my aim. All I am concerned about is my try.

Keep going.

You CAN.

You WILL!

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being… YOU
