 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Before diving in and this weekends’ journey coming out in black and white.  Yes lord: why do we react negatively when difficulties arise.   Why do we make everything about our own being when things are happening around us?   Why we get frustrated, irritated, or shut down?

Be with those Lord going through it right now forgetting who they really belong to or perhaps they never really knew.  Let the will of God set sail in their very beings and help them through the storms of this life and all the chaos and destruction that is everywhere. 

 

So many out there far better than I am, without a doubt that is not my problem.   We have been made for more with our own canvas to paint and create life and no matter how hard it is or ripples here and there.   When we remember nothing is better in everything then to be chasing our tails and thinking we need to be like those golden idols that only get melted down and destroyed in the end.

May we remember each time we make it to that next step in in our climb and remember the cost and know that we will if we continue to speak the life and not give into chasing what is temporal.

May everything, I do everything everyone, anyone connected to me count for one step and light closer to you Jesus.

In all the chaos of family and each member fighting forward on their own journey’s this weekend I spent packing up a vehicle and getting up early driving round trip 400 miles to help even a little in one more spark to a light that is waiting to burn bright in their own calling.

Imperfectly contributed with time that will never be returned we thank you Jesus even if some moments got a little more colorful, we did as a family and someday some will look back and appreciate even the smallest actions that seemed to be because of friction with relationships.

 

Even the smallest adventures have meaning even if they seem to be not going anywhere at times.    If only we could just keep holding hope in those hopeless moments.     This time is different as another piece of my heart string is clipped and I have to trust in you Lord.

Everything I am belongs to you and if you have carried me through all the moments that should have neve been and healed so many scars that truly should have taken me out long ago.  

 

Broken bones, broken lives, broken hearts that seem to never mend or when they do just as I believe to try again, they are shattered all over again in a billion pieces.  Yet you scoop every bit of me back up and glue me back together feeling so much love and depth that nothing this world takes can ever be.

 

I wish I could hear you clearly when you call Father.   Sometimes its like I myself keep going that same open door and missing it until one day I jump up and realize you have been there all along. 

Though none of us are meant to be alone in this world and we surround ourselves with so many and so much.   It is you the one and only that we really need to be consumed by morning, noon, and night in the here and now and clearly on the other side of the new horizon coming.

Beyond good you awaken me Jesus.   Connect me, show me, direct my path that is your will.

No one knows more than I do what is for my day to day.   We all get there in our own time. For those that keep my heart strings in knots; Lord protect and shine for them when they don’t know where the light is coming from send your angels to help them be all they can be in you.

Protect and sustain the pure hearts and innocence in this dark crazed world we are given; I know that is a tall undeserving statement to ask.  Especially in a world that many will never care to even know who you are. 

Wake all I am connected before it is over before it is too late.  

Jesus – you know

·         the situation with Lisa and Cancer

·         the heart attack Jennifer had before she even made it in her 30s

·         the chronic sickness my own child goes through

·         the depression and illness many of the world is suffering

·         this pandemic we know it is no different from biblical times it is just our time.

·         the hate violence and all the world chasing everything at every cost of ever bit of their being  and soul

·         all the health needs of family and friends; brothers and sisters of you calling and my own blood.  

Jesus we are a city on our knees even if we are there for the wrong things.    Wake us up now before it is too late, and the souls are lost beyond anything we will ever comprehend.

Accountibility, responsibility, respect, loyalty.   Ready to give all we are for that never ending story that takes us so high we think we have found heaven or holds us so dear and close we never worry about ever being let go as your arms wrap us in blessings we will never see, deserve, or even appreciate.

 

Jesus not superhuman hero just You Lord and all you promise in peace, in love, in life, in the light. 

What next Father God?

I want it all far beyond that little girl’s fairy tale with the white picket fence where when I came through, I built my own designed lattice fencing.   Long gone is that silly Ozzy and Harriet dream.  The fence blood red as a reminder of the power of red and boldness to dear to live and stop dreaming.   Knowing if is not real it is not happening yet living with all I am just waiting to use what you have blessed me to be, to do, to love.

 

Lord show me what to do with this love as you reel in my boundaries and teach me each day how to forgive what I cannot forget and learn what I do not understand.

Thank you for this adventure and for this day.   May the grace of God never stop filling me up or the strength when those heart strings are broken over and over.

Thank for all that I am, all I have been and all you allow me to one do be.

 

May I never stop loving those you have given me for who they are and now what they do all the while I pray, they find their best selves and all the blessings and become that bright light that is always painting legacies and hope for those watching.

In your mighty precious name this world needs healing Lord.  So many brothers and sisters fighting forward for their own very moment to move even an inch.     So much loss and destruction.  Jesus we are never supposed to understand why we are supposed to keep fighting forward with and for you.      The lifeline is out Lord pull all of us in and give us renewed strength and courage.   


Teach us Jesus how to turn to you and stop making it about us or like we are doing something and you could never care or do care.    With all that I am all that I love Thank you then, now and any tomorrows I have been given.
