Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
How very appropriate to be reminded that the difficulties
we are facing are blessings to have the opportunity to grow through and learn
with endurance these days we are given.
Lord knows when you have a chronically ill child with
severe conditions that you just want peace and healing and them to be blessed
with all that is good and lasting. Yet
just as they seem they are mending the illness takes over and dislodges their faith
and footing and makes them start from the beginning all over again. As a mother just wanting them to heal and
believe things will get better to just breathe and do the very best, they can
without trying to change it or mask it.
As a parent raising other children, working 12 hours day
and giving everything, you have in faith yet still at times coming up with the
chip of the world weighted in place of a shoulder and the attitude you are just
done with all of it. Great reminders and
remaining circled up in all who just keep fighting forward is a must. Believing in the only thing that has never
changed is the fact the maker of this universe blessed us to be called to life
and we are granted the choices of what we do with it and pay for what we do or
don’t do with others.
God is the creator; Jesus is his son of man and is then
and forever will be the Alpha and Omega of all things including the very breath
we are given. No matter what the circumstances.
Without positive faith to believe in, how could anyone
ever manage to be alive much less live?
Watching the rearview in this journey I see my own chips
flying away and what has sustained and driven me forward.
Watching the loss of any portion of anyone we love at any
time rips us into pieces that do not always mend back into the person we once
were. Layer that up with just day to
day and everyone else that gives a little something, something! Or takes even
more out of selfish ambitions and it is a wonder every living soul walking in
this world does not have a bold defense shooting everyone and anyone down that step-in
front of them.
But because we are so uniquely wired here, we are where
some believe too much in everything and get raked over the coals of life and
others believe until they can’t while others just tune everything and everyone
out grasping onto whatever it is they believe in.
The world is crazy, and we are play a part in it. We all get to choose how we will react or
just act. We all own what we believe
in. Good, bad, or indifferent! At no time should we ever find it okay to
allow our selfish brokenness hurt others in words or deed. We should never be talking, promising, or
doing when we do not have the facts or when people rely on what we say to be
done just because it is what everyone does or says.
As I have watched my own child put their faith in what
they thought to be friends always together until my child no longer was available
to give or do. Then watch the brokenness
set in as they learned lessons what having a friend should really mean.
We are not here to just serve other whims and not every person
you bare your deepest secrets to is a friend.
Misery loves company in this world. Many are collectors of anything they can get
from you for their own personal use later.
Some even become vial when they cannot get anything more and turn on you
to bully you into what you cannot do.
Know who is in your circle and why. There is more to life than just going by
hearsay or for what you can do for others when they are perfectly able to do
for themselves.
As a Project Manager I have to laugh at the truth of your
poor planning is not my problem!
That stands in life. In all things! Yet we tend to bring others into our stuff
or try to do so anyway.
Life is what it is until its not. We really need all the positive reinforcements
we can get along the ride. Stopping
negative, doubt, and all that can pull us into the dark and the only way I know
how I have managed to make it through with out too many bad vices is through
Jesus Christ. Yes, I use to be a
smoke, drinker, hell raiser having fun and nope no judgement and ran with the best
of them even if I was not doing what they were doing. It still mattered.
However, the love I have for the true souls whom I
respect for who they are in truth and how they respect me matters beyond all
compare. I spend far more time praying
now they are worrying about casting judgment and even though I walk the
walk. When in need I do what I must to
take care of those I have been blessed with until I cannot.
But no matter what happens it does not stop the pain when
it comes of the let downs and brokenness this world brings to, through you or
anyone you care for.
Yep, it makes it hard as hell to get back up sometimes.
However, the Lord of all things has shown me so many
blessings throughout my time and no I did not always see them when I thought I
was done. But I do now, and I believe
even more that it is a blessing to have stories to help others get back
up. It is a blessing to know who you
belong to and the blessing of freedoms of will and choice.
Never easy, never without pounding of those you love or
directly to you. But every single soul
allowed back up has purpose to help grow the universe forward in humanity with
dignity and steadfast ambitions of not just having and accumulating good things. But contributing and growing great things
that shine bold and bright.
Prayerfully my children, grandchildren, adopted children
that call me mom, friends children and all children will meet Jesus now and
find their strength to say not today darkness I am a child of the most high God
and today we will purpose all that is good forward.
Thank you, Lord, for having me.
All that I am, all that I have, all that I connect
belongs to you. Your will be done!
