Colossians
3:12 MSG
12-14 So,
chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out
for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be
even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive
as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what
else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be
without it.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
Wake up and give thanks; God
is not done with you yet. You are loved,
you have purpose. Know the choices you
make impact how you Are staying blessed, Staying healthy and allowing your
light to shine for others around you to continue to grow.
Keep growing forward… my waking thoughts out loud https://youtu.be/yucbDO9XnMk
Allot of people can have impacts
on our everyday choices and we can impact everyone and everything we connect,
pass by, or become deeply engaged with.
It is no one else’s fault for the actions we take. Life or Death, good or bad. We are responsible for the choices in words,
actions, and deeds daily.
Sure, sometimes we are handed
a bad hand in the card game of life or the lemons we are given to make
something tasty and worth while are so rotten all we have is the bitter taste
left behind. But we get to choose in
the moments, seconds we are allowed to spin, crash, and burn or find a
different direction of opportunity to continue growing forward.
No, I don’t see the world
through rose colored glasses. In fact, I
wish I could. If anything, I am a magnet
directly to the real world and all the sad broken pieces in people, places and things. Often missing my own opportunity to seize
the seconds in God’s beauty be it nature, people, music, things.
I work too much, spend too
much time wondering if family will be okay.
And absolutely let too much of the world overshadow and rob so many good
blessings of day to day or awesome opportunities I have been given, taken, or
made that have left ever lasting memories into this soul to take with me when I
get to the other side. Which I know I
will compare when I get back up the awesomeness of eternity to what I thought
was beyond; beyond!
I am always me and very human…
😊
Anyway, it is what
it is until it is not. And though I can
only share based on my life experience I do know this. We are never alone. What you may be facing someone else has been
through or others are going through so much far worse and when we get to the
other side of what is eating us up, we realize just how we should have
redirected our faith and purpose for any given day allowed back up to redirect
and put the fire into something useful and create beauty out of the ashes that
we think we have.
This is me, my mind
maze, and thoughts so I get it if you do not agree or are just so low you
cannot see the hand of God waiting to pull you up to look out over all that can
be.
Life is
unfair. Trust me when you have a class
of fifth graders comparing whose life is worse because their daddy died, or
parents don’t want them, or they cannot remember what their parents look like
because they are in and out of jail because they are heroin addicts, and they
live in foster care. You know that the
broken pieces life took from you as a child are insignificant if wasted to not
give back and be the strength, laughter, goofiness, or anything else to distract
what was to grow forward into what could be.
I could give a thousand
reasons why this world hurts and we all have our own some alike some
different. Recently losing pops
knowing he lived a great giving live as a fireman, EMT to serve and help others
all his life and in the end would not help himself. To remember my grandmother died when catching
her bathrobe on fire cooking for my aunt and a couple months later my aunt who
jumped up to help put her out burned 90% of her body died as well leaving behind
a 4-year-old and 2-week-old. Close
as a kid yeah… but the pain of me not visiting or having someone to care for me
compared to two cousins growing up with out parents had more lasting scars. The fact of all the wolves out there ready
to pounce be it the talkers’ given ideas to the real demons or those who just
watch not stepping up in anyway but to participate in darkness.
Allot can happen as
my life changed as it was supposed back then and even now.
Every day is not
promised and is or should be considered a gift. If we all could find our strength and
courage in unity as I’ll say it Ukraine has done in all their uncertainty at
the hands of a psychotic dictator that most likely had his own hurts, habits
and hang-ups morphed into something more sinister to take out on humanity
because the lack of his own.
Who knows why
someone could be so evil and harm and destroy so much in humanity? Besides God and he allows freedom of will run
its course.
Thus, leaving us
all in the bubble of what is yet to be.
My heart hurts all
the while faith restored that somewhere there is purpose for the pain we grow through. Each day we are allowed back up. From the unity and spirit to not quit and
fight for freedom of something more, something better something that shines so
bright whoever is around us can grow from.
Be it third world wars or individual battles within our own beings.
I would say I wish I
knew the outcome. I don’t want to see
what is on its way. I just need to
remember God sent His only son to teach us, to die for us so we could have life
everlasting. His promise, His pain,
His purpose should always be the driving force to allow us back up. More importantly our relationship with him
to lock in our destiny no matter how the here and now world looks should be a
daily priority. I know how starved I
feel if I ignore my daily communications and time with God. I know how much peace there is when I
remember whose I am, and nothing is wasted.
Watching each day
and those I care for and even allowing myself to allow the weariness of the
world to consume me at times. Remembering
none of us our perfect; only the creator can be. Even when we strive and allow our ego’s morph
us into things we really are not. Just
because we are blessed to have talent and skill in the good, the bad and even
the ugly. That gives us that temporal
high and illusion of control.
Life is what we
purpose to make it. We can chase the
platform and get up so high living in what the world calls elaborate success
where we must have someone dictate our everyday schedule, move, and need
protection because someone always wants what we have.
Or we can remain
humble and know in the end none of the matters in the end if you do not feel
alive in life because of our choices.
Anyway, Thank You
Jesus for allowing me back up another day.
Direct my path and
show me what, who, when, if next.
I know Lord you are
with all those in harms way, I know you are with all in this miserable
heartbreaking war. Just as I can
imagine but never know if it is breaking our hearts how it must be for you.
Lord, may we have
faith in you and do what we must to keep getting back up and get to the other side
with and for you.
