Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
My Saturday waking up with the Tyson beast took over the
entire bed, climbing out the other side to get a bottle of water and stepping
in the darkness and a loud squeak echo throughout the house. Half asleep I jump
back on the bed trying to be quiet, so the animals don’t come in to acknowledge
I am up which then wakes the kids.
I make it to the garage refrigerator grab a bottle of ice-cold
water, feeling so dehydrated from the little sleep I caught while fighting a 120plus
lap dog that if my door is not latched sneaks in the night and takes the
bed. Funny not funny, knowing 2 weeks
ago I had to get up and take the sofa being two dogs, two cats and a kid took
over.
Finding my way back in trying to lay back down as it still
dark and looking at the clock just barely
5am on a Saturday. Way to
early and no lights being outside leaves me time before I go out and start cleaning
my side of the neighbor’s white vinyl fencing.
Long overdue but I am not planting anything up on that fence line and it
is in desperate need of getting the barnacle looking things off it. Spending the past several weekends running
doing life with others that hold my heart strings and helping them either relocate
or ready to move away. It’s time I deal
with my own. Its slowly coming
together, I need to start figuring out something for this back yard on a slight
slope that this wonderful southern ground filled with sand and lime rock where
I am located with all the rain earlier this year that came washed away what
grass was there. Now just patches in-between
bare spots once the winter dry months come will drive me crazy.
Not enough time in the day just to work on turning my domain
into a beautiful garden and don’t know any gardeners that wouldn’t want money for
their time.
Not everyone gives themselves away in friendship.
Anyway
This place has come a long way since I first come in seven
years ago. Starting to look good little
pieces at a time just trying to protect the blessing of shelter I have been
given. In a month or so I will start painting
the inside again. For now, just keeping
it clean and not falling apart with the one’s that live here are like a bunch
of bulls in a China closet constantly leaving something to be fixed.
Reminded in the morning ODB.Com
The devotional makes it seem like all this is trivial me and
my yard stuff; but taking care of or being the best stewards, we can with what
we are given to work with matters. In
the end does it really matter. Yes,
how we manage ourselves and what we are given, and how we treat others
matters. Yes, would I like for Jesus to come back now
and make it right, beautiful and stop all the suffering and wars, and hate, and
darkness from all the lies and abuse we here and now take part in some way
shape or form. Righting every wrong,
healing ever need and dancing in the streets for all who believe in him. Knowing God is the beginning, and the end
and Jesus is waiting to meet every one of us until we too go to that big
house.
Revelation
22: 12 (AMP) Amplified Bible Footnotes
a.
Revelation 22:12 I.e. the final judgment for the believer will occur when he
stands before Christ to have his fidelity and service judged, and the
appropriate reward determined.
b.
Revelation 22:12 Lit as his work is.
But yes, there goes that mind maze again. As I am sipping on coffee made wide awake
stepping on that noisy toy that if you look around my house the little girl now
a little over a year who rules the house of late with the other fur kids has
toys everywhere. I generally find
myself walking around just like when my kids were little, and at night picking
up all the toys and putting them back in the toybox. Last night was a lazy night. Just tired from the week found me watching a
very suspenseful miniseries Click-bait.
And then some kid movies snuggling with my sidekick for a little bit.
Feeling a little down as everything is changing again around
me and where I use to serve, the smallest blessings that use to feed my spirit
same but so different with things that weigh on me from time to time.
Looking around and seeing so many good souls stepping up and
trying to do the jobs that were put on their hearts. Fighting fires, search, and rescue, first
responders, serving and protecting and laying down their lives for the so many
more in humanity out there not caring, and some downright evil or stuck in that
grey area and just stirring the pot causing so much drama and sorrow that is
pulling this world apart.
Thirty years ago, I would find myself just going away for a
weekend and spending at least a day burning up brain cells not thinking sitting
on a beach or somewhere drinking frozen
drinks until I didn’t feel. Even ten
years ago getting on a cruise ship and just being absorbed by Gods great wide
open. Here these days everything is
changed, where I just don’t find myself in the middle of a packed house feeling
the music of any of my favorite creative artists.
So, as I listened to The Great Ending about Revelation 22:12
and the need for Jesus to come. I have
said this so often these past couple years where life and the roller coasters
we ride that we get on and have control even if control is an illusion. Well, is so much different when the unknown
is closing in.
Danger has always been unseen until its too late. Be it talking to those strangers, going
where you should not, consumption of too much, or just the wrong things will
leave you in places many cannot get out of.
I just need hope to surround this universe, to see more light
than darkness, to hear more harmony than abrasive loud squelching or that static
that leaves us living in delusional states of mind.
Go big or go home but know what the end result of what you
think is big because sometimes it just robs you from ever finding home again.
Never looking for that fairy tale bliss caught up so often
looking back realizing how true so much was a lie. All I have is hope now, and those endless
days where the tunes allow the beat of my heart in Christ Jesus to play out and
feel that rush of almost and so real you can taste it but know what will be is
what you see and what God says it is what it is and you are my forever so let
it be. Foolish games, endless dreams,
live out those fantasy or dreams and know when it is real, it will show up and
eternity will be.
Never knowing what tomorrow will be, just knowing life is
what we allow it to be. My peace, my
harmony is all but lost. For Jesus is my
savior and Christ my King. I did walk
forward years ago; although this is not the visions my eyes once focused to
see. I am right where I am supposed to
be.
Sometimes burdened by what surrounds me, as I find my way in
trying to maintain and manage the beauty within the real me.
Do I wish, do I want, do I dream? Absolutely
I always have always will. When
its time we will all see. Until then
prayers, blessings, and any energy he allows me to get back up and keep growing
forward wherever I can in every second I am given till the day I die. Forever my Sweet Soul King; Love beyond all
time and space. Hands lifted high or
face down. You called me through the
fire and here I am broken pieces superglued back together in your salvation, mercy,
and grace. Found in the depths of this
soul. No matter what I allow given way forever is nothing compared to your
eternal abundance consuming like walking through bombs just set off full of
pain from the pepper sprayed realities stinging like mace.
Thank you for this day, but as this coffee is now empty, let
me get it and enjoy some outside humidity, sun, and space.
Lord never let the music stop playing the beats and life rhythms
that make this spirit dance. Every
tune, rip, or chord with a message of life to dance to.
Be with all who need the music Father, lead the way, and
shine bright for me, for all I am connected.
You know all things all needs!
