Count it all joy.

Uh oh, beloveds, I have my trusty blue screwdriver!🥰

“Count It All joy!”🎤🎶🎧

Be encouraged. Count It ALL joy. Enjoy the day. Am spending a delicious afternoon just enjoying the afternoon. 🥰

I said I was NOT going to write today. My heart couldn’t help spilling out on the page.🥰🎶🤣

Stop worrying about things you can do little to nothing about.

Ah, life.💪❤️‍🩹♥️

Life is good. Even when it’s hard. Stop focusing on the hard and enjoy your day. It’s the only one you have.

Have you worked on your dream today? If not, get outta here and get to working on your dream. If so, stop for a spell and have a cup of ☕ coffee and a 🎶 sing with me.🎤

counting ALL as joy,


Cassandra

It’s okay to say ‘Ow’.

It’s okay to say “Ow’.

It’s okay to say ‘Why now?’

It’s okay to ask ‘What now?’

Ow, God!

Why NOW?

WHAT now?!

Whew.

Nuff said.

Note: Sometimes, beloveds, doing what needs to be done hurts. It can be cumbersome. It can be unwieldy. It can be nasty. It can be heavy. It can be lonely. It can be frustrating. It can, and often is, all kinds of things we wish it were not.

Keep going anyway. He didn’t tell us to keep going only when things are comfortable. He didn’t say keep going only when we understood. He didn’t say keep going only when we feel like it. He asks us to keep going. Why? Because, we have thangs to do. Best we get to it, eh, beloveds?

In case no one has told you yet today: I love you. So does He.❤️‍🩹♥️

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

You won’t know you can until you have to.

Today required a lot of patience.

Too bad I had none.

Nada.

Zilch.

Not even a smidge.

I had to keep going, though.

No choice.

I HAD to.

I had no idea how it’s gonna get through the work day.

I had to find a way.

I found a way.

Don’t ask me how.

I just did it.

I didn’t think I could.

I did.

I told myself I would try.

I tried.

I did.

You won’t know you can until you have to.

Be encouraged.

rooting for you,

Cassandra

Sometimes…for others.

Sometimes we are asked to hold the door for others.

Sometimes we are asked to valet for others.

Sometimes we are asked to cook the meal for others.

Sometimes we are asked to be the waiter for others.

Sometimes we are asked to wash the dishes for others.

Sometimes, beloveds, we are asked to do…for others.

Ah beloveds, God knows you are hungry. He knows you are tired. He knows you are thirsty. He knows you are a smidge weary in your well doing.

Be encouraged.

Your time IS coming.

Soon, the chair will be pulled out for you.

In the meantime, sometimes we are needed…

For others.

Here,

Cassandra

Note: Sometimes, beloveds, it’s not about us. It’s about them. Being about it for them. How ’bout you? Asking for A Friend.❤️‍🩹♥️

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!

You are more than what you think you see.

You are soooooooooooooooo much more, beloveds, than what you think you see.

You look inside and feel the imposter. You feel lost. You feel inadequate. You feel alone in a room full of folk.

Ah, beloveds, you are fearfully and wonderfully made!

Look again!

Look inside.

Your trappings are nothing more than traps tripping you up.

Cast off things.

Embrace you.

Your heart is without price says He which has loved thee before the world was ever formed.

Look again.

What do you see?

asking for A Friend,

Cassandra

Note: Ah, beloveds. You are altogether lovely! You are. Love someone. Starting with you.

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

#YourLifeMattersToMe

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,

Cassandra

Note: If none go but me, so be it. Who will keep me company? Asking for A Friend.

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!

pondering,

Cassandra

#YourLifeMattersToMe

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.


One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

God knows.

God knows why.

God knows how.

God knows when.

You are loved.
