Here's My Heart
Daily Journal/Thoughts/
Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
Deep cleaning the
house at 4 a.m. beats the alternative of being overwhelmed by what wreaks havoc
on our emotional state when we want so badly for things to be well, and we just
do not know how they will turn out.
Knowing God is in control gives me that deep peace that if he gets me up
another day it and I will be okay for me.
But not for those who are at the point they have no balance and are
beyond the danger zone. It does not stop
the agonizing volts that flow through a parent, grandparent or even that of
someone who cares so deeply for others, and you just cannot make it happen
already, so you know they have made it to their destinations and now you feel a
little bit better they have all they need to start again.
When your kid with
no plan loads their child and a dog in a vehicle and takes off across the
country with no blanket of protection and they themselves are not well. You pray all the survival lessons of this
life they watched you get through kick in and they find that place of comfort
to grow again.
The world is so
hard and so different from when my generation came up. And although you gave up everything
because you are fully aware of it for them to be protected and live. Dealing with the facts over and over that
they were only given to you on loan. And
what will be will be as God has them regardless.
As a parent you can
evaluate over and over again but there is no science to the fact that just
because any parent does everything right; just because you have given your
family fame, fortune and all the material items of the world. Or even raised them up with the strictest
rules and regulations. There is no law
in place that guarantees your child will be or do what you see spinning in your
mind’s eye.
It is our job as
parents to love them, teach them and always be for them. Not live their lives for them no matter how
that feels.
So as elderlies
chronically deteriorate, youth fights forward with their own agenda even if
there is nothing on it. At some point
we all have to live our own lives to move and grow forward. Helping pull the weeds in God’s garden
along the way and just not getting tangled up in them ourselves as we are doing
whatever we are doing.
You can come from
nothing and become everything; and you can come from everything and throw it
all away for what becomes nothing.
We all get to
choose.
So how I choose to
survive and ready for the next drop in
this giant roller coaster ride of life.
Well, that is yet to be seen.
However, it will always be with Jesus having me 200% because I know; I
just do not have it like that to make all the right choices or have my
own. No matter how many people think I
am strong. It is by the grace of God
every day I am allowed up to keep trying to take one more step.
Where does that
leave me.
My addictions and
we all have something is working through it.
Knowing I have been given the freedom of will fighting for life as every
soul in this universe.
As my home is quiet
and empty and I am ripping things out to scrub, disinfect, bleach, sweep repeat
watching the clock because I will then go worship and serve praying God
consumes every soul in the building.
Life is what it is
until it’s not. None of us are getting
out of here alive. So be it we are out
doing great things and being consumed by what the world makes us; yet never
give anything back for the blessing we are allowed to get back up each new day.
Or we are out
serving in missions and ministries. We
all came in this world and we all will leave.
What we do planting
and sowing the legacy seeds that will grow forward is yet to be seen.
Instead of living
up to everyone’s expectations or even game moves. What are we doing to enforce our own moves,
our own master class winning strategies?
What I find to be fulfilling or helping me grow and thrive is not what
you do. Though I want and need love I
am not out there giving myself away trying to fill a void that only God can
fill. I say that with a lifetime of
experience. Five minutes of that rush
that you got it, added one more star to your vision board or notch on your
ever-growing belt of life. Is never
everlasting and eternal.
Sure, that rush of
endorphins and excitement making you want more and more as the drugs of
whatever it is rushes through your veins even allowing you to become really
good at playing and hiding the pieces that fall off or break off along the way.
Our very own life
is like one giant investigative process that never ends. Really diving in using our minds and train
up the way you want to go. As a parent
or responsible party for someone else.
Train up those and lead the way to all that is good, all that is light
that helps those you are there for.
The best way you can. From
experience even if we walk around with a chip on our shoulders thinking we are
doing our children a favor by doing it for them, by buying them. But tossing all the material items they want
does nothing for them to survive or be able to work growing into their best
selves and being productive and caring while not being steam rolled over by
those who walk around entitled and take from everyone and do nothing for
themselves.
Yes, deep thoughts
this day Lord. Abrasive and real. We can all use the excuse we do what we do
and are a product of our environment. But
this is not true. We are all given the
blessing of life to live. Selflessly
and doing our best to remain obedient and love the temple we are given to
travel this journey.
Knowing we do not
and will not always get it right. But
not taking all that goes wrong turning hateful and demanding the world owes us
something and being determined to live a life that if the world doesn’t give to
us, we become hateful or self-destructive.
I never really
thought much in my youth about what tomorrow might be. Now as an adult I realize none of us are
promised any tomorrow’s and I personally am doing my best to not let today get
the best of me. Be it love, life,
brokenness, or something new being added.
If it takes me
shutting down, eliminating that which is harmful and deceitful filling any
space with negativity or consuming that what helps me grow. To scrub it out, play it out, sing it out,
dance it out. As long as you are part
of its Jesus. Let’s Go!!!
No matter how many
messes we clean up or hide of our own.
No matter how many messes we cleanup for those we are co-dependent and
love with all we are. Nothing matters
without you Christ; and nothing counts unless we call upon you our very own
selves.
As a parent I
learned firsthand each child is love.
Each child is their own reckoning, and each child is not comparable to
the other. As they are all blessings and
beautiful created for something bigger and better than anything we as parents
can see or miss or toss aside for our own selfish ambitions.
Just as they are
given to us they are taken away.
Sometimes it’s just their time; sometimes to save them from their own
demise and sometimes just so they can grow and learn where their own blessings
really are.
Love them all for
who they are! Stop worrying about all
that others stuff and just know once you or they are gone there are no do
overs.
Outreach,
discipleship, education all starts at home for the better nothing more nothing
less.
Dig deep and find
you first; call upon Jesus and listen and absorb all that was, will be or
always has been through the eyes of Christ.
Music, Podcast, a good bible-based church, small groups, brothers,
sisters, and no agenda friends. With the
just mission to grow forward and shine boldly in life, for life. Pray, your relationship with Jesus starts
with you not me.
Every single day
you are given. It is not about pointing
out legalistic ways or that what we think we understand of the bible. We are to plant seeds to grow beauty and
life that shines bold and bright for all that is good. It is not my job to point out the heresy
that the new world we have today is trying to make truth. It is your job to dig in and get the facts
and challenge learn and light the path for others to learn.
Find those who are
true biblical teachers and learn and grow.
Grow your spirit, grow your love, and know. God delights in his creation; delight in
him and grow in his word in truth.
2
Corinthians 3:18 And we all, who with unveiled faces
contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with
ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the spirit.
Acts
20:32 Now I omit you to God and to the word of
his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those
who are sanctified
Start now, wanting
the truth and relationship with who Jesus is and will forever be.
God fill us up with
all you created us to be. Allowing us to see our worth and obediently become
more than just a number productive but to be everything you call us forward to
be.
