Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives or feelings)
Okay it has been a crazy day, but one thing is for sure now that I
finally am able to get to my daily devotional with Jesus Calling. Which I must do all of them before I write
anything.
I need to break 1 Peter 1:8-9 down into simple English.
1 Peter 1:8-9 (NIV) 8 Though you have not seen him, you love
him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are
filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the
end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls. or 1 Peter 1:8-9 (MSG) 8-9 You never saw him, yet you love him. You still
don’t see him, yet you trust him—with laughter and singing. Because you kept on
believing, you’ll get what you’re looking forward to: total salvation.
Okay I remember when I first started out, I used to read only the
King James Bible. And it has allot of
good stuff, but it took me years to catch on, and even then, once I learned there
were so many different versions saying the same thing. I need
to keep it simple with this mind that imagines a squirrel and it takes off
running in other directions.
There are so many ways to just keep challenging yourself to learn
and grow. Not just biblically but through
out life, relationships and simply basic skill and knowledge.
Never doubt and hold yourself back. If there is really something you want to
achieve, obtain, and grow forward with.
You have to just keep trying. If
you quit because of doubt for any reason you will always have that what if
popping up to haunt you.
However, somethings are only common sense that you must let go to grow.
So last night I dozed in the big ole recliner watching the season
kick off of the voice. Waking up not
even sure what time or when I fell off, I go into bed and all I can think is I
need to get back up and write.
Many times, when I know if I do that, I would be wrecked for a
busy day that was coming. I spent most
my day in back-to-back meetings, learning and helping others learn what was
transpiring. So, I can assure you as
soon as I am done, I am going for a nice walk to help me move these bones.
My writing is like a daily vitamin for me. Sometimes it is great and full of much benefit
and others being nothing is ever scripted except to always do my devotionals
first. You just never know what might
come out. Laughing out loud on that
one; however, I always keep the names to
a minimum to protect the innocent in my crazy mixed-up portion of the
world I am allowed to live.
Be it in my mind like just thinking last night; if only everything
that was playing in my heart, in my soul and in my head poured out to music
what would it sound like.
When tomorrow is not promised and it is already so incredibly sad
in the world of so much that will never be done, or never be said before those
we really wished it could are gone.
The one thing that I can always manage to get out even when I
sometimes miss the mark for others is: Thank you Jesus for the days I am given.
Good, bad, indifferent.
Just knowing no matter what. With
you it will always be better than okay.
Each moment you allow us up is a moment for new opportunities to
make, take, change, or even when we are allowed to walk through the trenches, or
our hearts just break.
Wondering what kind of song would that really be? Especially when so much is withheld, or too
much of something that shouldn’t be directs our steps at any given time.
All I know is there will be no pain that will ever be that of
yours Father God or what your son Christ Jesus endured for such an ungrateful
world that many will never even acknowledge him, and the sacrifice made so we
could live.
The word is truth, and the truth is clear. Just as all the stress not needed to
transpire because of unknowns, let downs, or missing what you never had to
start.
Life is what it is, remain
faithful to what is good, what is clean, what is true.
When we get derailed, distracted on what is too good to be
true. Reel it back in. Get back up when you fall, get knocked down or
even pretty close to taken out. If you
have been given movement in your body, air in your lungs, even if it hurts,
even if its hard. Make it count in counting
your blessings and enjoy the simple things so when something big comes you can
really celebrate.
Celebrate the moments in and with thanks. Those we are given, those that teach us
something, those that we are allowed to keep growing through even when the
process sometimes is painful.
Yes, there are allot of critics out there and yes, we should be
caring for our own beings and learning to live in and with real humility. Not becoming judgmental and living for what anyone
in the world demands.
We should always have great respect for everyone and never contempt
or plans to harm them. Nor let anyone do that to our own being.
Yes, sometimes life gets away from us and it just happens. As we find
our addictive behaviors trying to escape to that just once more if only. Keep
it real, be accountable and own what you are doing, saying or being.
Our choices matter and we own what we become part of or pull
others into. Never be that backseat
driver. Always step up, step out and
stand for something. But if you want
that lasting eternal stamp of approval you had better be calling upon the name
of the father and getting the truth before making your own version of what you
think things should be.
Everything in this world is temporary. Including the very beings, you absolutely never
wanted to do life without. Sometimes
it just is what it is. I am perfectly fine with Jesus at my wheel
even if; even when! His will not mine.
Even when hurts and there
have been times I know he is right in the middle the mix and things are just as
they should be but then something changes and he removes something, someone or
even me. I am all in for what is real,
what is truth. Not to condemn, not to
condone.
Yet, so far from perfect but perfectly placed where he wants us to
be.
I will forever miss my worldly sweet soul king as the Lord takes
me to places, I will never deserve or fully understand. But I will always know I am loved and held. Someday maybe, while I keep getting back up
whenever I end up down for any reason.
No matter how hard. All we can
do is keep trying and let go and truly let God.
Dive in and do your best with what you get to work with. If its good enough it will be; if it’s not
it never was and most likely was never supposed to be in the first place. Only God knows. Not me.
Just some of my thoughts and sometimes perspectives.
Glad on this crazy day I am still able to call upon His name. Praying peace, love and all that comes with.
