 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

As if our life is a demo and all the critics continually making suggestions on how you should approach things each day you are given.  Suggesting you need to change or to never change if you want people to engage.   A little disappointed or disappointing depending on who is given such constructive criticism.  

 Did I ask you and how can one say it is because your question was open ended was a reason that 15 people choose to stay quiet?

If today, you take a right and you meet your destination without issue.  Yet tomorrow you go forward and still meet your destination in shorter time; what does it matter if your approach how you get there?    Are you to be a grand puppet master and script your questions to make people engage in what you are trying to deliver?

No, its not all about you, it’s not all about me.   It is interaction but what the perception is or how you get there is what perception and control shouts trying to be louder than the next meaningful stripe into the world of twisted delivery.

Lies, to those around you, to the depths of who you are and what you are trying to achieve.  Just say what you mean and mean what you say.   No worries that it may come back to haunt you.  It is what it is and already has been.

 

Dedicated to the cause or dedicated because.   Only you can answer why you do or don’t do the things that you go through day in and day out.

As I make it through the day and plan to lead the Forgive What You Can’t Forget group for the next several weeks.   Lifting my eyes and hands up high knowing it is because of Jesus that I am allow to even survive.

What next gosh the pendulum is way off balance and pointing nowhere.  Just being my best self where possible and resting when I can.     I need not prove anything to any woman or man.  It is only the Great I AM that allows all I am.

Anything else is just empty negative space being consumed robbing us from life of any given day.

Find the beauty in all that comes what might.    Blind faith does not mean dreams or life ever after is out of sight.

Be you for you and own all you choose even when you don’t choose that to do!

 

I wish I knew what to do, when to do it.

   Fact is I just know the choices are mine to make as long as he allows me back up.  

Right, wrong, or indifferent.  

In the end I work through swimming upstream just giving it my all.

 If that is not good enough it is never meant to be.   

Get better at working smarter not harder would start with boundaries and letting others go and stop being their landing zone and maybe just sit at the feet of Jesus a whole lot longer than I do each day currently given.

While being more direct is not the same as abrasive, abrupt clatter. 

  Boundaries and knowing them, living them in all we are given matters.     

Love, laughter, loyalty, and respect for our own being as those we are blessed with. 

If my tomorrow no longer comes, I am blessed for all I have been able to live in my today, and all the yesterdays.  

If this is all there is, this is all that will be.

 

What if I stumble.  

Talking my life, I face plant in gullible foolish lack of boundary living choices every day.  

   The question is if I stay down?  

The question is what if we do not stumble but we get so big and forget even if our platform is out of reach just how badly it will hurt when we step off or fall if we do not have Christ Jesus in our every day.

 Oh this mind maze someday someone can go in that little space ship and ride the current to understand like the matrix.   Until then I am grateful I have been allowed this freedom and choice to try my best with what I get to work with and every now and again allow pieces of me to seep out and make room from all that noise up in my maze.

“I do not despise your weakness, My child.  Actually, it draws Me closer to you because weakness stirs up My compassion.”

Isaiah 42:3  “A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.  IN faithfulness he will bring forth justice.”

Isaiah 54:10  “Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Romans 8:26  In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
