Stay in the fire(fight).

Stay in the fire!

Stay in the fight!

It’s hot.

It’s hard.

It hurts.

So what!?

Stay in the firefight!

We do NOT fight alone.

We are NOT in the fire alone.

Remember, beloveds, there were FOUR men all up in the fire..hehehe. If you don’t know, you had better ask somebody…lol.

Do NOT give yourself an out.

The ONLY way out of hard is THROUGH.

Period.

End of story.

Stop using hard as an excuse to quit.

We got thangs to do.

Life is short.

Get to doing them thangs.

doing thangs with you,

Cassandra

Note: Today was one of the hardest days I have had in forever. Bad news everywhere. Nothing working anywhere. Hell breaking out every which a way. I had two choices:

I could quit.

Or, I could quit.

I told quit to shut up, kick rocks and take THREE seats.

Then, I got to be about being about it. In times past, I would have been lamenting and rending my clothes and wailing about the ‘unfairness’ of it all. Today was being unfair. So what!? I had thangs. I did as many thangs as hard would allow me to get done.

I laughed. A lot. I cried. Just a wee bit. I fussed. For a few minutes. I told God ‘Ow’. God replied ‘Aha!’ How great is that?

Be encouraged, beloveds. Keep going. Even when it is hard. Especially when it gets hard. In case no one has told you today: I love.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

You don’t have to like it. You just have to do it.

You don’t have to like taking the high road, beloveds.

You just have to do it.

You don’t have to like where God/Life/The Universe has asked you to go.

You just have to go.

You don’t have to like being the only one being a person of integrity.

You just have to be it!

Do!

Go!

Be!

doing/going/being with you,

God said.

God: I’m not moving for you right now.

Me: I’m not moving from You ever.

Me: Why won’t You move for ME right now?

God: Why won’t you move even though I haven’t?

Me: Because I believe in YOU.

God: I have not moved, in your finances, because I believe in YOU.

Me: What does this mean?

God: Aha! Great question! Keep asking, beloved.

Me: Ah. Aha!

Note: Sometimes, obstacles are meant to stay in our way. For a looooooooooooooooooooooong time.

Why?

Beats me. I just know them darn things can stay in the way for a looooooooooooooooooooooog time.

The obstacles, beloveds, are besides the point. The point is:

Will you or won’t you?

Period.

Will you:

Have faith?

Keep going?

Do what’s needed because it is needed?

Whether you gain from doing the deed.

Whether you lose from doing the deed.

WILL you do the deed if asked?

Or, won’t you?

Either way, be honest with you. Sometimes, the doing is just too hard, in your opinion. This is understood. You CAN do the thing, though. How do I know? Because He said you could/would.

It’s a trust thing. You trusting YOU. He trusts you. How about stepping out, in FAITH, so you can see what HE sees in you? Asking for A Friend.

Note: Today was super hard. A Friend told me to get up and eat as that may help. It did. It felt good puttering around and scrambling eggs. The sound of frying ham steak…ah!

Keep being good to you as you go through your hard. Remain joyful. Remember all you have to be thankful for. Beginning with me.🤗😆❤️‍🩹🥰❤️

Wave the white flag.

Wave the white flag on foolishness.

Wave the white flag on anger.

Wave the white flag on hate.

Wave the white flag on pride.

Wave the white flag on apathy.

Wave the white flag on lazy.

Wave the white flag on darkness.

There are enough folk, beloveds, who are actively acting a fool or turning a blind eye to folk who are.

Enough!

I choose love.

I surrender to Love.

I plan on BEING love.
