Note: Only someone who has or is truly going through it will understand this piece. Hang in there. We got this.
Am currently sitting here trying not to try so damned hard. I am getting in my own way. I’m digging up plants to see if they are growing. Metaphorically, of course. I keep telling myself to chill. I have time. 56 keeps reminding me that 57 is showing up after a while!
Be encouraged, beloveds. We have time. I think.🥰😁⚒️😂
My nerves wanted to keep me in bed. They said, why should you try today?
I told myself, I’m going to try. I made an especially bad video this morning. It made me laugh. I’m going to have fun editing it.
We have to give life something to edit. We have to be willing to mess up. We have to be willing to give life a heaping pile of mess. How else will we learn and grow?
Have FUN with your mistakes. Enjoy your failures. You are going to make enough of them anyway!🤣
My nerves are soooooooooooo shot. Why? The financial news is not getting better. Hence 56 is growing a bit nervous. I keep telling her we have time.
Life is short. Let’s make the most of the ones we have, eh, beloveds?
The 🔮 future is silent. She won’t speak to me. I want to make her.
God is silent. He won’t tell me what He is up to. I want to shake Him.
56 is afraid she will be left behind. I am shaken.
Fear: Run!
God: Be still.
Doubt: Hide!
Life: Be still.
Circumstances: Nobody gives a hoot.
The Universe: Be still.
Storms: We ain’t going nowhere.
My heart: Be still.
56: Let’s get the heck out of here.
57: Be still.
*Cassandra looks at the storms raging within/without, tells all doubters to shut it, and heads for a cup of ☕ coffee*
Be still, beloveds. This too shall pass. We are loved. We are NOT alone. We CAN. We WILL.
asking for A Friend, Cassandra
#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: Tears were my 🥣 breakfast this morning. I let them fall. I am not strong. Then again, beloveds, I don’t have to be.
Uncertainty does NOT mean certain destruction is imminent. It just means you can’t see what’s up ahead.
Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. Keep standing ten toes down on FAITH. Keep standing on business.
Get in your gratefuls. I am thankful for the hard. It keeps me on my knees. It keeps me from donning a cape. It keeps me from hiding. It keeps me from running. It keeps me fighting for ME. It keeps slapping me awake so I can live my life with INTEGRITY and INTENTION.
I put on some praise and worship to get this party started since all kind of foolishness wants to barge in to get me to look everywhere but up. I don’t think so. Homie don’t play that!
Be encouraged. Nothing is over. We just getting started! I love you. So does He.
My quitter quit again this morning. I’ve made quitter get up and make coffee. I wanted to give up so badly on starting. on starting my channel, I decided I’m going to work on pieces and get my channel started. There has to be a reason why doubts trying its best to get me to stop.
I fired up the computer, and I just started talking. The video turned into something else. I turned into something else.
Wouldn’t you know it, just as I was getting into with maintenance decided to start whacking down more old trees? The sounds of the chainsaw is driving me up 10 walls. I can barely hear myself think. I had to start recording videos.
Instead of giving up on my day, I decided to work one more pieces. I can’t believe my Dallas also tried to get me to delete my blog that I have been working on for 5 years now. I don’t know why discouragement has been so loud these past few weeks.
I am normally able to encourage myself with uplifting use egg or reading or talking to my family or encouraging myself. for the past week or so, I have not been able to consistently keep myself motivated and encouraged.
It’s a good thing my good habits are holding me down. It’s a good thing my trier with Jesus to give up more than 10 minutes or so. It’s a good thing my toes are standing. 10 toes down on faith.
I just stopped by encourage someone to keep on keeping on. If an obstacle gets in your way, move it out of the way. Or use the obstacle to step up to greater heights.
Don’t stop playing the game because it has gotten hard. Switch things up if you need to. Things may not turn out the way you had hoped. You will never know until you try. Be encouraged.
Note: It sure has been mighty hard doing my why, beloveds. Why? Storms won’t stop. Bills won’t stop. Discouragement and disappointment absolutely refuses to stop bugging me. Therefore, I don’t stop. I can’t. I won’t. Crapola.
During especially tough moments, beloveds, it is CRUCIAL to understand these are nothing but tests. Simple as that. Yea, thse bad boys are loud. Yes, the storms are mighty impressive sounding and looking.
Still, these too SHALL pass. The ONLY important thing is how we determine to be/live/move AFTER all the hoopla has gone by.
I choose to be:
Victorious.
Joyful.
Hopeful.
Resilient.
Loving.
Caring.
Empathetic.
I choose to be/remain these things DURING the storms/trials. How about you?
My why is encouraging folk and reminding them they are loved and not alone. What’s your why? Let me know in the comments.🥰🙏💋
Why Can't I Be Loud?!
