Verse of the Day
For the director of
music. Of David the servant of the Lord. He
sang to the Lord the
words of this song when the Lord delivered
him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said:
1 I love you, Lord, my strength.
2 The Lord is my rock, my
fortress and my deliverer;
my God is
my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield[b] and
the horn[c] of my
salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 29:11
The Lord gives strength to his
people; the Lord blesses his people with peace.
Numbers 6:24-26
“The Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his
face toward you and give you peace.”
Psalm 13:5
But I trust in your unfailing
love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Puzzle
pieces of life as I watched that baby girl working without distraction putting
puzzles together as if nothing else in the world mattered.
Wondering
how many times I could have been that 4-year-old girl never letting anything
distract me keeping my story together, fitted snug and perfect painting fun,
beautiful and abstract life scenarios.
Yet
like many my pieces time and time again not having faith or knowing you Jesus
my pieces shattered and scattered everywhere.
We all
bleed the same.
No matte
what is or what is not we all bleed red.
One day
we will see a better way, stepping up, stepping out for our children and those
who are suffering. One day those
causing the suffering will let go of selfishness and lack of thought or regards
and protect and help lead. For now, it
just is what it is in this crazy mixed-up world.
Doing
our best or hopefully so with what we get to work with.
God’s
beautiful canvas and we are the crayons and markers with the freedom to color,
scribble, draw out our little piece of the grandeur puzzle.
What
are we doing even if it seems meaningless; what are we doing with our lives and
what we are given?
Who are
we doing it with, for or to?
What in
the end does it all really mean?
Living
on the promises of God is so hard sometimes.
Believing in what is unseen yet knowing there are days when we have so
much peace we do not even know how strong or weak we really were in any
situation because Jesus carried us through.
Baby
steps, or leaps and bounds. None of it matters
in the grand scheme of things if we are not working towards eternity. Sure, like that high or rush you get with a
good buzz from drugs, alcohol, sex, sky diving.
Whatever it may be. Getting up on
a stage.
We know some of the greatest musicians and artists
thrive by being surrounded by thousands of people screaming their name and
doing crazy things for them.
We also
watched 2020 put everyone in a timeout and remind us everything is temporary.
Some of
that was much needed for many and others crushed them, and they are trying to
find themselves back.
Change
is inevitable. Without a doubt change
is in the wind for everyone and everything we are so complacent about. Some change will be great for growth while
others will destroy, derail, and even cause death. But it is coming.
Be it
work, day to day, our relationships.
So why
do we hold so tight to what we know will and can change. Why do we not put efforts in holding what
should be.
Why do
we not acknowledge the fact that God is, was and forever will be. As will His son Jesus Christ.
Why do
we lose focus and lose our puzzle pieces or allow the world to mix them all up
and we can no longer see the beauty among the many that will layer up?
Thankful
Lord even when I don’t always rest in you.
Thankful that I know I and everyone in this world has the ability to
choose you, choose life, choose to rest in you no matter what it is with, for
or around us.
Thank
you for this new day with prayers from the depths of my soul and heartbeat that
steps up into the emerging what next.
Be with all that is unsaid. For all who are connected or unknown.
May we find
our child like way softening the foundation not to weaken us but to allow
healing, allow rest in you.
I
really want to know you Jesus; I really want all I am connected to know you.
