Verse
Hebrews
12:1 ICB @Biblegateway.com
Follow Jesus’ Example
12 So we have many people of
faith around us. Their lives tell us what faith means. So let us run the race
that is before us and never give up. We should remove from our lives anything
that would get in the way. And we should remove the sin that so easily catches
us.
Hebrews
12:1 in all English translations
Thinking Out Loud
– Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
Been super busy with a little of
that over these past days since the last five minutes to see what this mind
maze has to come out. This morning
reading about and looked at some of the first people to be photographed and pieces
of their bios. I am reminded we all get
there in God’s timing. Everyone has a
story and although some are very well known in the books of history after they
passed on and left this earth. They
are known for their good, bad and indifferent. Be
it the good works they did after they became free of slavery to help others, or
just authors of life and poetry.
One thing for me to remember is
even if, even when never stop putting your words to paper or dancing to music
even if it is out of tune. Life and the
rhythms of our hearts beating is meant to be full and abundant of all that
fills us with deep gratitude and lasting joy.
Not 5 minutes of all that is temporal.
Although that does make us feel good at times. As long as it does not come at the cost of
anyone else.
The summer has flown by even
though the heat of the nation is above boiling in more ways than one. Be
it global warming or just the hearts of mankind fueling the blaze across the nations
trying to make the world see them.
No different from back in history. Some do really kind beautiful things for
humanity while others selfishly do whatever they feel like at the cost of life
itself.
I have tried hard over the years
to not judge unless it puts me or my family or those close to me in harms
way. It does not mean I do not have
boundaries and/or choices I make to stay clear or even at times speak up to
make a change of those things that can spiral out of control and choke out the very
heart strings that my own being is sometime entangled.
Surely the lessons I am granted
daily from even as close as conversations with the sweetest women I know my
elderly mother when sometimes things come out of her mouth that are mean and
reflect all together judgement that in the wrong ears would clearly cause hurt
and pain. To my own sometimes looking
and thinking out loud what are you thinking😊
I still don’t know if I am going
anywhere in my journey although I have been beyond blessed to know where I have
been. Some of the fragments etched
deep within this soul and love beyond anything anyone could ever give while brokenness
lined up the stairwells to the clouds of promise.
Thankful for all the little
moments when Jesus took the wheel and aligned my spirit. In all those moments of uncertainty and
losing control sometimes beyond lost to even my own direction. All the while knowing now what I did not
know then. Our big God has always been
in control all we had to do was respond to His silent calling. So beyond blessed He is unchanging and always
the God who stays and we learn that we are the one’s with our choices and freedom
of will that moves away.
We think at times that because
of what we do we are not qualified or become unjustified in some way to not be
worthy of good things. Many times, we
will start pointing out all that is wrong around us just because we feel so
lowly in our place and time. Yet
Christ has always been the great redeemer with a light so boldly bright
reflecting all that can be all that is and all that the beauty in the small
things of a child’s cry or the colorful birds of the air bring. Hard to understand yes in today’s society
if you cannot stand hearing a crying baby such a terrible analogy or if you
could care less about bird or any of God’s beautiful creations of mountains,
wide open crystal blue waters of the vast oceans, amazingly colorful rainbows
of promise to beautiful creatures of birds of all breeds. Wild horses, rolling meadows of vast color
and scent. As the earth is a vast
speck compared to other planets those examples are like the dust in the wind
that we lose sight to hold gratitude within and for.
As I watch youth fading from my
elders and those in the tweens thinking they know it all while fighting every
step of the way not listening and remember all of the judgment and casted
shards that my choices made over time.
Purposely and at the hands of others.
Here I am. As is anyone
reading. We are /were given another day
to get up and find gratitude and make it count a billion seconds in every day
given filled with opportunity through all the that comes to praise and pray and
prove forward the will of God granted within humanity.
Where does that leave me? God only knows my future; I can fight
forward and keep getting back up until He says it is done. Prayerfully I and all I am connected will do
just that and see the light through any darkness and where we are weak rely on
and cling to all that is his purpose plan and will. While being protected for eternity.
