Ephesians 6:12-13

12 Your hand-to-hand combat is not with human beings, but with the highest principalities and authorities operating in rebellion under the heavenly realms.[a] For they are a powerful class of demon-gods[b] and evil spirits that hold[c] this dark world in bondage. 13 Because of this, you must wear all the armor that God provides so you’re protected as you confront the slanderer,[d] for you are destined for all things[e] and will rise victorious.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Lord this heart is still beating even if, even when!

Each day we are allowed up we start by choosing to roll with it or declare not today!

I choose all that feeds the spirit, the soul, the growth, the dimmest light that feeds all that we will never see or understand.

 

That may look like strength to some, that may look like crazy to others.     However, until you actually walk the walk and invite Jesus Christ into your life you will never understand the deep gratitude and crazy unexplainable peace, courage, and strength you are given.

We can plan all day long as a parent predicts and does everything, they can align life for their child yet each one of us very early on choose whatever we want.

Even when we do not think it through or are old enough to know the results that are up ahead.

We live hard, play hard I won’t lie I have seen far too much in this world and my time to not say we won’t die hard.

Beautiful friends and family lost because we all just wanted to have fun in our youth or masked our pain in our adult life or both just because.

Disregarding the change needed with our own choices we cast shadow and blame on everything else around.   Then one day we face the final choice of what next.

There is no lukewarm or sitting on the fence and although Grey is a nice neutral color for any room of your house.  When it comes to making choices its black and white no matter what tool you use to write it or live it out.     We are not what the world says defines us.   We are what we choose today.   Maybe that is why the world is so bipolar and in the mess we are.   Cancelling out all that once was because we no longer like it or it doesn’t fit what we see today.

Good, bad, or indifferent gives lessons at every level. 

We do not have to live in be in the darkness of all that goes wrong.  We are not what goes right.  We are the choices we make daily, but the choices lie in the if we choose to know the truth and become educated in and created by.   

God so loved the world and the creation he breathed to life he gave his only son Jesus Christ.

John 3:16 TPT

16 For here is the way God loved the world—he gave his only, unique Son as a gift.[a] So now everyone who believes in him[b] will never perish but experience everlasting life.

Footnotes

3:16 Or “God proved he loved the world by giving his Son.”

3:16 Or “believe into him.” Salvation and regeneration come only by faith. True faith (Gr. pistis) contains a number of components: acceptance, embracing something (someone) as truth, union with God and his Word, and an inner confidence that God alone is enough.

John 3:16 in all English translations

Why it takes us so long or we allow ourselves to hit beyond rock bottom before we are woke.   I wish I had those answers that could be bottled up and shared with everyone.

Yet even though many do know they still choose and do what they want to do.  No matter if they have the strength to know not to do so or they are just lost and overwhelmed.

I wish I could say I was perfect

I am perfectly placed and imperfect in everyway the world can find to define me, or anything about me. Yet perfect in the design of who God calls me to be in the creators’ eyes.  Just as everyone else given life in this universe.

Finding that balance of what to hold onto  and what to let go.   That balance of loving people from a distance because life gets too prickly when we get up and close and hurts sometimes really bad when they abuse the one thing you want from them and that is to just be real.

The losses of a child or the pain in the misguided decisions that are unhealthy well the pain is beyond our own self being.

I wonder if each time we believe we are not enough in this world if its like the nails being pounded through Christ flesh over and over again. 

The pain is real, and we were all made for so much more.

Yet we miss the mark over and over when we choose to settle.  When we choose to let what someone done to us or that something that happened to defy us.

Get back up, brush off and say thank you.    None of us really have 24/7 for any length of time what we purposed, planned, and expect.

We can plan all day and night long but, in the end, God is in control.   No matter for ourselves or those who have our heart strings sometimes so knotted we cannot move and breathe.

Hold on to hope and dig deep to find the faith in the God who gives you life and for all those who trigger change and those little cuts from the gashes of let down or deceit or even just not working out cause its not what you thought you would recognize.   Know it is what it is until it is not.  Make it count and know your legacy is the good or bad you choose to feed into this starving world.

I trust what has been written for centuries and pray with all that I am that even if in the end I do not see the streets of gold.  My soul is well here and now and everyone I am allowed to be connected find that too.   No harm, no foul, no misgiving or taking from or to anyone in this world.

Maybe I am a dreamer as my ex-husband would often and derogatorily point out back in the day.

For sure when we have to hurt, harm, taking from others just to feel good about who we are when we all are created in the image of Jesus Christ and the God of the universe.   Well the issues are with them and not those who are feeling the elements that make this world.

Choose your boundaries, choose wisely and if its not working change it.  Get up, brush off and keep growing forward.
