Note: I feel helpless. I feel hopeless. I feel a tad worthless when it comes to making an impact. Thankfully, my feels don’t run me. Thankfully, none of that is remotely true.
I just stopped by to encourage those who are damned tired of all the what in the fresh hell is going on in the world.
Be encouraged. Be good to you as you wait PATIENTLY for your efforts to bear fruit. Your fruit may have been meant for others to eat. Mine as well.
I may never see my πΏ plants bear their fruit. Did I plant just so I could eat? Did I plant so all may eat? Did I plant for recognition? Did I plant because I was asked to? Ah, great questions. I plant because I care. Periodt. We fight on.
I decided to take a break and π what I was doing. I found myself wanting to force things instead of letting things happen, naturally.
Naturally, beloveds, this led to NOTHING but π€ frustration that comes from focusing on the πͺ door and not on what’s behind it.
I stopped by long enough to encourage someone. It’s okay to reset, to catch your breath.
You are doing all that you know. Celebrate your try. Celebrate your want to. Be good to yourself as you move forward.
The way has been slow. Agonizingly so. Enjoy the journey. As I am recovering, I am learning more and more to enjoy as many quiet moments as I can.
I savor the β coffee in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep, wondering how I will make my financial living. This uncertainty is unnerving. It’s unsettling.
It’s during these times that my faith is being tested. Ah, God, ow!
Be encouraged, beloveds. We got this. Rest your mind. The best IS yet to come. Enjoy your NOW. Enjoy YOU now.
I knew enough to keep my mouth shut. I stood down for the day to let my mind quiet.
I don’t want to quit, so much as I want the hard to stop being so blessed hard! Enough already.
I’m fixing to fill my soul with some uplifting music. Then, I am going to watch some motivational πΉ videos and grab a bite to eat.
It’s important to DO something when helpless victim mode comes calling. We are NOT helpless. Things are NOT hopeless.
Be encouraged, beloveds. Even when you are feeling a bit less than hopeful. Especially then.
Change takes time. Accepting change takes time. Understanding that change takes time takes time….lol
Don’t look back. Don’t lose hope. Don’t allow God’s Silence to have you questioning everything.
God’s Silence is actually a sign you can be trusted within it. It means you are being treated like a mindful adult and not a child forever having to be spoonfed.
Keep going. Even when it’s the very last thing you feel like doing. Your dreams will thank you for it.
