Verse
John
1:12-13 ICB @Biblegateway.com
12 But some people did accept him. They believed in him.
To them he gave the right to become children of God. 13 They did not
become his children in the human way. They were not born because of the desire
or wish of some man. They were born of God.

John
1:12-13 NIV @Biblegateway.com
12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of
human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

Thinking Out Loud
– Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
And just like that we close out
the month of July 2023 with many still holding on for dear life while others
are mourning the loss of loved ones or fighting desperately in prayer for God
to recover and restore all the broken pieces into something more beautiful in
any days ahead.
Life has no favorites when
humanity is at the wheel. When you
least expect it everything you chased, and made your life’s work is suddenly
changed, gone or no longer has meaning all the while others are out there
trying to just get a piece of what you have not caring who they harm along the
way while dealing with their own day to day themselves and not leaning in and
having greater hope.
Of course, in some places of
this universe hope is lost due to humanity making its own rules. Darkness haunts every one of us at some
point and time or another. Prayerfully
we have a strong foundation of hope filled friends and family that during those
times we never forget the light of Jesus.
This is not a test and none of
us are getting out of here alive. But
are we choosing to live while we are here?
Or are we too busy trying to ride the coattails and tap into those we are
given a connection to take pieces of their lives and call it our own?
Well, it is Monday and I wish I
knew why this mind maze is spinning here today. Perhaps the sadness of knowing of more loss
in the community fighting the good fight.
Perhaps the overwhelming question of why wars, bullies, harmful disgusting
actions against innocence or just really down to earth good people at times is
more overwhelming than not.
Perhaps it just is what it is
until it’s not.
As a parent, sister, aunt,
grandmother, friend etc.... I have lived and seen far too many broken pieces
even with my own heart strings tied up in knots over caring too much for maybe
people, places, or things I should not.
Sometimes wondering if I will
ever get back up after entrusting and believing in people too much. Forgetting we are all human and although my
sin and ways may not be as bad as the next.
Perhaps who they are is all they know.
Sadly. Often putting too much love and care
towards those that feed your soul really leaves a mark when you learn they too
are just human and out there living a life that sometimes leaves scars on
others.
I have had a big heart over my journey,
and I am sure it is not done yet. However,
when the scoundrels try to manipulate you because that is all they know, or
they are in a place where they can, and they have no other faith or moral
values. Well, it is what it is if you let
it in. It can be a very deep subject at times
depending on who it is with. You could
feel like you are drowning.
Interpretation is
everything. There will always be someone
trying to convince you that your thought process or your actions do not fulfill
their needs at the time well you become the mean or misguided one. And although none of us are meant to live
life on our own. That does not mean
give away your identity to someone else to control. No matter what or who they are.
You can love abundantly without allowing
anyone to dictate who you should be or what you are doing. Although morally sound, friends and family
is a plus to help you live productively and healthy.
Circle yourself with Jesus’s
believers, those who truly abundantly know we are all flawed, and they love you
for who you are and not what you can or cannot be or do for them at the time and
place your connection is.
Don’t get me wrong good, bad, or
indifferent we all have desires that outweigh common sense at time and later it
may prove to just be a lesson or maybe it was / is a blessing for the time and place. Sometimes we dive right into the fire,
and it takes everything we have got to get out while others we never make it.
May we never stop fighting the
good fight in trying to be our best selves and purpose forward growing and doing
our best to stay out of the weeds that will eventually choke us out.
Far from perfect but still blessed
up another day to keep trying. Kind of
like; all those dieting schemes in my youth because I was not enough the way I
was.
Now all I try to do is remain
healthy and enjoy every day I am given even if it does not look like it through
others kaleidoscope eyes.
I can tell you it has been a
very long time trusting fully anyone on this planet thanks to my own scars of life,
yet I don’t think I will ever stop being in love with some of the greatest
motivators in life. Be it through
lyrics, a big screen or just someone standing next to me and all they are.
Even with nerves get up and push
forward. Do your very best and even if
you don’t succeed know someone else can use your strength and courage.
As I watch some of the kids I
have known since babies growing forward while shedding tears for others, I have
known a lifetime or just impacted by beautiful souls and their losses. There will never be anything closer than
the goodness of God if only you can grasp on and hold it as your life really
depends on it.
Jesus is there waiting for all
of us in the good, bad and so indifferent.
We all see, feel, hear, and smell the sweet aroma of life and what it
should be according to who we are. We
are all creations in the image of God so please treat yourself with love and kindness
and know even if they don’t love you back or things don’t go the way we think
they should. God’s plan is so much better.
We all believe in something,
just because I may not agree with what you do or believe does not make us any
less. Greatest gift of freedom of will,
freedom of choice. But no where was it
to be so we could hate or use and abuse anything or anyone in humanity. Anyway, random thinking and this mind maze
can take you all over the place then right back down the rabbit hole looking
for the right pill that will solve worldly issues.
We will never find it. Only Jesus can!
Jesus be with all of my brothers
in this universe in strength, peace, love and protection. May we fight the good fight to shine brightly
and help others find you and when we cannot.
May we know to whom we belong and gain strength and courage each moment
in all we do that you allow us. Be with
all the souls who have been called to leave this universe into the next.
