Thinking Out Loud
– Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
First,
thank you for another day. As I sit
here in NY with family, I have not seen in a long minute with heaviness on my
heart I wish on no one. It has been one
hell of a month for May. As my brother
lays in ICU and we pray he is given more time.
Just less than 2 weeks ago visiting and getting one big hug with
heartfelt hugs and love as he said goodbye to go back home. Not even a week later he had a vessel burst
during his sleep and he started bleeding to death. And has been up until yesterday on the ventator.
Love
those you care about well and often because no one knows when you will not get
a chance to do so again. They finally
took him off the machine and he woke up from the induced sleep loopy as heck
and asking for ice-cream and a knife so he could free himself and get out of
the hospital. He is still in harms
way. Fair is not even considered for
him and his wife. Both widowers and found
each other. Here they are with
everything in time and Gods hands.
Prayer
changes everything and I so hope that he is with it enough to say his own prayers
and it is for more time. We know
everyone else who knows and loves him have been and were so very blessed to even
see a splice of one with him waking again and being taken off the machine.
Thinking
about what we do to our bodies and how love is so blind I our youth we put so
into our bodies only to not realize when we live hard, we suffer later and
sometimes slowly die hard.
I
watched so many learn those terms and although I am far from an angel, I can assure
you being blessed to not endure half of the things other around me end up with is
beyond words.
I
am that kid who riding home from a party 4 days before my 15th
birthday was ejected from a van that rolled over because the driver was drunk
driving. Waking up sliding down the
pavement and turning around seeing the wheels spinning in the air wondering
what happened. Knowing how lucky I was
then looking back today. There was a
boat motor in the van that could have done some major damage. Not to mention on a highway. God has always had my back in my ignorant
choices and during all the times things were done to me or around me because I existed.
I know
my brother has also been blessed, but I am calling out one more time and it has
been a rough- couple-weeks, to allow him to make it home with his wife. But same thing with our children who suffer
with addictions and the inability to cope and fight forward always seeing the
darkness as their friends. May Gods
will be done because everything that I am everything I am connected belongs to HIM!
May
has been that roller coaster that we all get to ride. And none of it is in my control but that to
believe. He has made so many ways I
know He will continue to do it again.
For our daughters, our sons, our brothers, sisters, friends and all
those we care in abundance about.
No
matter how knotted our heart strings get entangled. No matter how many things we collect to feel
like we really have something. Only God
matters to truly know what we were allowed to be created for.
Living
life to the fullest in love, with love, for love! No where were we ever supposed to rob innocence
and produce hate. No never was it
written to be easy or free or we allow anyone to be entitled or victims.
The
victim mentality drives me crazy, and I guess that is why I sometimes find it
hard to write. When I am feeling my
heart breaking for people that I adore.
I just cannot.
There
is no doubt my wild hairs sometimes still come out or my goofy self-laughs over
the silliest situations. But it seems
allot more I am crying.
I
had planned this trip to see my son who I have not for almost a year. And I have been torn to cancel this trip and
go sit by the side of an ICU bed with no where to really stay and no be of any
use. Much less not have time off work. My time will come that I will be back to NC
very soon. For now, I needed to see my
first born. And have been blessed to spend
time this round with some very dear friends that it has been a very long time
to just sit and laugh.
I
am glad they are!!!
I
am glad I have been blessed that like yesterday 40 years can go by yet we can
pick up where we leave off every single time.
I don’t
know with tomorrow will be. If it will
be. I can only put my faith in what I do
not see or know and believe the same breeze that blows in the wind bringing so
much life. So is the Jesus who bled
down that cross and poured into what is now a very angry earth.
My
love will always be. If I have allowed
anyone within arm’s reach. I love and
breathe with all I got. All that they
may never see. It is what it is until it
is not. To be loved from the inside
out. While trying to understand know
what that feels like.
One
day
For
now, my prayers and my heart beats for all that I know I do not deserve. But who really does?
There
is nothing anyone can do that deserves the blessing of life that Christ gave.
Is
it not better to have loved and lost then never knowing love at all! I believe, then, now and always. Nothing will or can change that. Even when it hurts.
Even
when others do not understand.
Jesus,
please send your help. Not just or me
and the wave I am riding for my family or even that of me. For all your creation. The earth cries out. Please your will be done.
Thank
you for taking me back and reminding me of days gone by. Thank you for what I missed and what I will
miss. May the beauty in the moments of
life be tattooed on our souls.
As
you hold and mold it in love, for love, with love.
Guide
and protect us from ourselves. Guide
and protect our children who are the future of what is currently spinning out
of control.
Your
love breathes life into all it touches.
Thank
you!
As
I find my footsteps crossing the ocean or spinning in circles. Thank you, Jesus, for never letting me go and
always showing me why I believe.
And
while the heaviness tries to drown us out.
Shine brighter than ever before Abba… light our paths or the waves we
ride on to what will at some point be just another inch to the short lives of
the dash between our stamp in and the post mark back out.
