Psalm 27:8
When you said, “Seek My face,” my heart said
to You, “ Your face, Lord, I will seek.”
Philippians 4:7 The Message
Before you know it,
a sense of god’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come to
settle you down. It’s wonderful what
happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
Jeremiah 29:13
“You will seek me
and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you, Lord,
for this day. Why I was wide awake at 2am
I do not know but I did spend it with you.
Maybe not long enough, maybe exactly right. But I am thankful for the moments you allow
me up each day.
Giving me time to
think back to where I once was in life and how blessed I am here and now. Even when those days I look back in my mind
and the girl in the mirror I sometimes do not recognize.
Blessed for the privilege
to age a little more each day. Even when
a year like 2020 has left its mark of heaviness of those going through it;
those lost; those I feel because I hold closely to my heart; and even my own
space working through choices and results.
Working through day to day.
Remembering at
one point of my life I could understand clearly being six foot to the edge and
not sure if I were to hold on or let go. But you Lord held on to me.
Just at that time
being so burnt out with continuous trying over and over again and the layers of
life just kept landing the same. Never really understanding you were carrying
me while I was holding all I should have never even touched in some cases.
Thankful for the
journey without a doubt even if my scattered pieces could include those scattered
tulips but no one else’s but my own.
Looking back how
there were days I prayed to you in every breath; hungry and blessed. Knowing everything I am is because you allow.
Somewhere over
time as I grew deeper in love with you Jesus; Did I get complacent or is it
just this past year that shut us down and I was not feeding my soul with my
sisters in Christ and weekly Bible study and lifting each other up in life I
just fell asleep somehow?
Too much time to
find my human side. Too much time to
think once again about me. Life is not
about me when we walk with you Jesus.
No, it’s not like
we are little God zombies. But we stay
focused on where you lead us. Finding ways to help others find the beauty
in the ashes as you and others did for me.
Not saying it was
not time to come back alive and deal with those things that I never really
shook out. No just put them in the
mental closet and pushed forward and learned so much about you God. Falling deeper in love with Jesus is, was
and forever will be!
Alive and
awake. These past couple years
starting late 2017 seems to be those times of cleaving and finding what I don’t
speak of.
Knowing my love
is written in the book of life. Knowing
what will be will; what is not are beautiful lessons coming out of once kindled
fires now ashes.
So much more
ahead
So much more with
each new day. No reasons to hold on to
what was; no need to try and squeeze lemonade out of apples or oranges.
Each day given as
beautiful as a fully bloomed rose garden in all sizes and colors. Or that smell of freshly bloomed Japanese
cherry blossoms or even that of lilac trees wafting in the wind.
Search me Lord
Wash me, mold me,
and show me where and when.
Give me courage
to love forever while just letting go of what should not be and holding on with
all I am; to what you call out to come free.
I do not know
what tomorrow will be. I pray reflection
of you and your purpose and not my own strong, stubborn will.
As I look in that
mirror may I see what many will not.
Hope, love, and life blessed.
Thankful and
hopeful; strong and true. Forever throughout eternity with you.
May my steps to
get back to feeling that craving of you Jesus.
Wash over me. May the actions I
take be pleasing to you first and always you.
As I am blessed
for each new horizon may any steps, I am given be a better version of my
yesterdays.
Heal this land, Lord.
Help us to let go
of what is behind and cling to your blessed journeys ahead.
Fill this land
with peace, healing and harmony!
