Filling the other half:Maghihintay Ako

I looooove this song.

I don’t understand a word she is saying. Yet, my heart understands!

Ah, beloveds, isn’t amazing that love can be communicated in words we can’t understand? Our hearts can know!

Beautiful! I often set this song to repeat over and over and minister love to the depths of my heart.

I have other music from The Philippines, from Japan etcetera where I have not the first clue what is being said. Still, the love conveyed in their songs are such a balm to the soul.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. If there are any Phillipines friends around, can you let me know what she is saying? Asking for a friend(me)🥰❤😁😎

If no one has told you today: I love you. Be encouraged. Have a wonderful rest of your day.

Note: Keep going. You are on the right track! It’s important to remind yourself where you ARE. Don’t get discouraged over where you think you SHOULD be. Tell should to go kick some rocks, beloveds. There will ALWAYS be someone telling you what you should be doing. Don’t add yourself to that list.

You are doing your best. Let your best be enough. It is. You are growing. Yes, the long wait gets terribly old.

I wish I were holding my dreams in my hands right now. I am partially. I’m doing my best to be content with the partial. Geeeeeeeez, God. MUST You be sooooooooooooo slow? Asking for many friends.

God’s Silence: Finding my voice.

Me: I finally understand!

God: Understand what?

Me: WHY You have ALWAYS remained silent through the most frustrating/hard/maddening times of my life.

God: Why, beloved?

Me: Your Silence forced me to question.

God: Question what?

Me: You. Me. You, again. Me, again.

God: What did My Silence force you to question?

Me: Your Love. For ME. And, whether you loved me at all. And, whether I was worthy of Your or anyone else’s love.

God: Ah.

Me: Your Silence also forced me to…

God: To what?

Me: I don’t know, really. I just know Your Silence had me getting awfully loud demanding Life, The Universe, my try, You, my circumstances, my situations to turn loose my dreams.

God: Good! Keep going.

Me: K.

I have been finding my voice. It has not been easy. It has not been pleasant listening to what she has had to say to me. I have had to apologize for dismissing her voice. For dismissing MY voice.

If you are going through a period of silence just now, maybe, you are being asked to find your own voice. If so, speak up. Your words matter. As do you. Let’s use our voices together.

in there with you,

Cassandra

Ah, beloveds, just LIVE!🥰

What a wonderful Sunday this has turned out to be.

I have spent ALL day loving as many folks as I could get my heart around…*hugs self*.

I gave not ONE thought to how bills will be paid. I didn’t consider lonely, who ended up pouting in the corner. Alone!

I could have cared less about all gloom and doom were trying their level best to lay at my feet.

I loved me some Him. He loved Him some me. I loved me some you. Some of you loved me back today!🥰

I LIVED.

I LOVED.

I LAUGHED.

How great is that??!

Life is short, beloveds. Please, please, please get out there and make as many precious moments as you can.

I have chili in and ☕ coffee set out for those who have been behaving. None for those who have cut up today. You know which group you fit in, so act accordingly. 😆

I decided to try making this into video and using British voice. I find him soothing. Let me know what you think.

Have awesome week!

#YourLifeMattersToMe

Note: I love you, beloveds. Life is short. Get out there and try something. I have spent the last few hours learning more about Capcut and trying new things.

Things may not turn out as I am hoping, but so what?! I am living. NOW. I am loving me. NOW.

My life has been broken in two: Before the tornado. After the tornado. It used to be before mom died. Then, after mon died.

I guess, when you go through super rough times, beloveds, life will have a way of sticking some after AFTER  your BEFORE!

Hang in there

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

What to feed your spirit to get through anxious moments.

Be encouraged, beloveds.

I just stopped ’round to check on your heart and give some things you can feed yourself to get through anxious moments:

Ask yourself WHY you are anxious – I let my nerves go haywire just by telling myself I was too old to figure things out. Once I laughed at that dumb notion, I started again.

Remember WHY you are doing what you are doing – I had let my mind wander on all the things I could not yet do. Once I focused on my why, I relaxed. I went back to enjoy simply doing me as best as I could.

My spirit has been anxious lately. There are so many negative reports out there. It has been difficult to drown them out. So much so I had to turn off the television and my phone.

I must admit it. It has been difficult standing 10 toes down on faith. I choose faith. I choose me. I choose my try. I don’t know how things will turn out. I do know that I choose to not stand on feelings of anxiousness.

Be encouraged. They will always be things that will cause us to feel anxious. We don’t have to give in to that anxiousness. There are things we can do. There are things we can try.

Keep feeding yourself positive things. Continue living in the moment.

I’m contemplating another attempt at making homemade brownies. I don’t know if the world can withstand that….lol.

We shall do great things.

believing for us all,
Cassandra

You are an overcomer!

I am listening to Mandisa’s “Overcomer”. My heart still grieves her loss. I can’t believe she’s gone.

The rest of us left behind HAVE to keep going!

We ARE overcomers! We ARE overcoming!

We CAN.

We WILL!

After Mandisa passed away, beloveds, I wanted to hide this song and never listen to it again. Her loss hurt. Someone soooooo talented and inspiring snatched away much too soon.

Then, Life told me to play her song. She finished her earthly race. My journey has yet to be completed.

I don’t know how many more days I have left. I plan on using them to love as many folks as I can get my hands on!

I love folk. Call me cra cra if you must. I love you anyway!

Be encouraged. Remember:

You are worthy.

You ARE worth it.

You are worthwhile.

You are welcome…😂

loving you for Him,

Cassandra
