Perfect reminder to start a new day, new month and honestly
push for a new vision in life each moment we are allowed up. Thank you, Sarah Young, for starting February
off with the following.
“Follow
ME ONE STEP AT A TIME. That is all I
require of you. In fact, that is the
only way to move through this space-time world. You see huge mountains looming,
and you start wondering how you’re going to scale those heights. Meanwhile, because you’re not looking where
you’re going, you stumble on the easy path where I am leading you now. As I help you get back on your feet, you tell
Me how worried you are about the cliffs up ahead. But you don’t know what will happen today,
much less tomorrow. Our path may take an
abrupt turn, leading you away from those mountains. There may be an easier way up the mountains
than is visible from this distance. If I
lead you up the cliffs, I will equip you thoroughly for the strenuous climb. I will even give My angels charge over you,
to preserve you in all your ways. Keep
your mind on the present journey, enjoying My Presence. Walk by faith, not
by sight, trusting Me to open up the way before you.”
Psalm 8:29
With your help I can advance
against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.
Psalm 91:11-12
For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and
defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They shall bear you up on their hands, lest
you dash your foot against a stone.
2 Corinthians 5:7 NKJV
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank
you for another day.
Today as
I started the day, I decided to go off the beaten path and do some reading on
current news or what has been in the news.
Dumb, yes. It is not like I am
blind to the mess our world or even local government and townships can be
in.
I was just a news junkie for so many years I
had to stop so I dumped cable and stay away from pretty much all of it; except
the gossip nonsense that shows up on social media or that which fills the
common searches when people are out there trying to find dirt or create dirt on
social mainstream and of course celebrities.
Yes, I
knew the new administration nominated new staff, but I never really went to
look and see what all the rumors were about.
I must say we have lost our minds. Now I am not here to condemn or condone the skillset
or knowledge any one soul may have based on what they choose to do for/to
themselves on the outside.
However Really????
I know
if I continue this when referring to the assistance secretary at the health and
human services.
I was
taken surprise when I first seen some of the commentary. But the bottom line is.
The
next four years that will impact the world and its future will be on the heads
and choices of the Biden administration.
One
thing is clear. God gave us freedom of
will, freedom of choice and no matter what each and every soul chooses to do
with the vessels they are given. The choice
in the end is between God, them, and anyone they immediately impact.
So with
that I have to say I pray no matter who is running this office at this time God
is interweaved and aligning things as they should be in the end.
No
bullies, no missing out because of how someone looks, no authority because they
had the most money and that is why they got where they are. Prayerfully they will have the skill, the
knowledge, and continue to seek it.
Prayerfully they will seek how they can grow for and with this universe
and stop wasting precious time on trying to change themselves while on the
clock for America.
We all
get to choose, and we all own our choices in the end. Prayerfully the collateral damage from any of
the administrations. Be it bullying, chauvinism,
Godly, ungodly, loyalist that do because they know someone and not what is
really for or what God wanted for this nation or any nation.
We
could be a communistic country, or one scourging and demeaning and destroying humanity
for that location all together.
Biblically
speaking history repeats itself over and over.
It seems eventually nothing is good enough or considered a blessing to
maintain loyalty, respect and want to grow forward as Christ so suffered for.
Who am
I, to think out loud on such things? The
soul that still dreams allot, hates politics and in most cases wishes much
could be fully renewed and logical, educated beings would clear the house on
all party sides and really do something for the nation we live.
Yes,
reading up on some of the go forward picks has me thinking. Obviously here I am writing about it. But I also was reminded who is in
control. No matter what I can see or
not. No matter what goes well, or horribly
bad.
We are
still blessed and given an opportunity to do our best to make a difference and
be a light in the world we live. Or just
sit back and pass judgement every chance we get.
We are
blessed to have choice; but that gives us no right or privilege any more opportunity
to make change if we do not get up and dare to make a difference.
Not
leave it for everyone else to make then get ticked off and fill the world with
more hate and nonsense because we cannot get what we want.
Yes,
sometimes we are blessed with things that are positive outcomes that we become
part of but never did a thing but just exist in the right place and right time. Most times we read, hear, or are part of the
collateral damage stream that takes place.
Just left to do our best and keep going forward or just give up because
we had no one to help lift the weight of the world off and help us find the new
path with promises of hope and light.
We all
get to choose to know what feels really right for us; may not for those who
once mattered.
Where
do we go from here?
I can
say no I did not get rid of cable and stop watching the news because I didn’t
want to see or hear about it.
I stopped
wasting money on the same old repetitive nonsense. Where every show became like the last, every
news channel told their own version of what was really happening. And yes, why pay 200 bucks a month for something
I never really watched anyone. Getting
caught up in the Hallmark channel was great but even their story lines are all
the same.
I wish
I had the answers and knowing the 70’s, 80’s and even 90’s seemed to be so much
more respectable and people mattered.
Where the 20th century always seems to highlight the doom and
gloom and openly without hesitation instead of stepping up to help lift that
weight, well is fast to judge and faster to add its own version of doom, gloom
and taking judgement into our own hands.
So many
chess masters out here in the game of life and so many more each day pawns even
know what the rules are to stay in the game.
Life is
so much different and still never easy or free. Damned if we do, damned if we don’t.
Yet
still blessed each day we are allowed up and acknowledge we get to choose what opportunities
to chase, make or be.
I pray
we know its okay to not be okay; but its not okay to harm others to get what we
want to do, be or just have.
Especially
knowing everything in this world including the person next to you is all
temporary.
Be real,
show up and if you are committed in love, in marriage, in relationship, in your
job. Dare to be different and make it
happen until you cannot any longer and then be real. Stop trying to be things we are not. Stop trying to have it all at the expense of
everyone else near or far you are connected.
God
created man; God created woman. We can
change how we look, how we dress but that will never change the facts of what
is written for thousands of years.
God created
each and every one of us in His Image of love, for love and to be love. Know your value and stop worrying about
everyone else’s. You want to make a
difference. Then do it.
Anyway
this mind maze took me places I normally do not go. Thank You Jesus for freedom of choice,
freedom of speech, freedom to live as I choose to. No matter how it looks or offends anyone
else. May we all learn to live, love
and be our best selves as you created us to be.
It is
what we put into it and make it. It is
what it is until it is not. We cannot
force anyone to get there in our time; everyone gets there in their own
time.
And for
sure that time is not Gods Timing~
May we
please start seeing the evidence of all that is good and talk about, shine
about and become about all that is and help be the change for what doesn’t, isn’t
or shouldn’t be.
