Meet Cassie

Little One, who is that over there? That doesn’t look like a sheep. Why, that’s a goat! Why is there a baby goat in your flock,  Little One?

You say her name is Cassie?  She sure seems happy,  Little One.  And her energy.  Where does she get so much energy? I’m tired watching her. I’m going to go sit down under that tree over there and rest a bit.

Are you tired,  too, Little One? Let’s sit here and rest a few minutes.  Well,  hello, Cassie.  Are you coming over to rest with Little One and me? Ooof! You are a busy little goat, aren’t you? You just jumped on me and now you’re jumping over Little One.

You’re a pretty little goat,  Cassie, and so happy!  But why are you in this flock of sheep?

Do you know why Cassie is here, Little One?  You don’t know?

I wonder how we can find out why Cassie is in the flock?

Dear woman friend reading this, have you ever had someone unexpectedly enter your life?  Did this unexpected someone seem like she didn’t belong and you didn’t know why she was there?

Maybe you were that unexpected someone.  Maybe you found yourself some place and wondered why you were there?

Little One doesn’t know why Cassie joined the flock.  Cassie is running around and jumping over Little One and I so we haven’t had the chance to ask her.

Dear woman friend,  there is One Who knows exactly why you are where you are today.  He knows you feel like you don’t belong. If you’re wondering why a certain someone is in your life,  He knows.  Your Shepherd knows.

We may have to wait a while to find out why Cassie is part of the flock and you may have to wait to find out why you are where you are.  Your Shepherd may or may not tell you.  The question is,  are you willing to trust Him that He knows best in this situation?

Dear woman friend,  trust your Shepherd.
