14-18 “I am the Good Shepherd. I know my own sheep and my own
sheep know me. In the same way, the Father knows me and I know the Father. I
put the sheep before myself, sacrificing myself if necessary. You need to know
that I have other sheep in addition to those in this pen. I need to gather and
bring them, too. They’ll also recognize my voice. Then it will be one flock,
one Shepherd. This is why the Father loves me: because I freely lay down my
life. And so I am free to take it up again. No one takes it from me. I lay it
down of my own free will. I have the right to lay it down; I also have the
right to take it up again. I received this authority personally from my Father.”
14 “I am the good shepherd. I know my sheep, and my sheep
know me, 15 just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I give my life
for the sheep.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze
Overflow
Oh sweet November where did you go? Time is fleeting so quickly and to think one
day or many how we will sit and complain about boredom and that the day is not
moving fast enough. By the way that
was an awesome love story movie if you have not seen it. Older but absolutely heartwarming.
I can assure you getting up at 2 am and
thinking about writing has been on the top of the list lately as I pander why
the heck am I awake at that time.
Knowing I start work at 630 I put my devotions back on or music and fall
back to sleep and then get up cramming to get things done for end of year.
I am not sure when I had a week long solid
comfortable 8 hours a night. I know I
could lock my animals out lock the doors and not let anyone in the house wake
me. But even then God always has
something to say and hopefully I retain at least the better portion of what
that is on any given time of solitude and rest.
Thank you Jesus for allowing me to know when
to rest in you and the ability to know freedom of choice is that of our own
based on the gifts you have given every living being.
As I come back to you each and every moment
given; even when it hurts; or even when I am feeling overwhelmed, out of sorts
and just not making my plans and exhuasted when I hear one more plan being made
for me.
Yes beyond blessed to have family that is in
need; and know how much more it would be if I could see them genuinely rise with
you and not need so much of what does not matter. Balance; well not everyone knows when to
hold on and when to let go and some are really good at playing it out. Beyond it all I love you Lord more than I
know what to do with. Without physical
eye seeing tangible physical reason.
But from the depths of this soul that I can never fully explain how, or truly
why in the terms of this world.
As I remind myself on the days I feel
sometimes alignated. And Wonder why I cannot have it all, as I then remember my
all is like a yoyo changing daily of what I would tolerate or what I really want from another. And the facts remain I want nothing and well
I love everyone but I have an issue with expectations giving or taking. Thus what a perfect time to work on a study about
trust. Anyway I just got another call so
for now I need to step away again
Well then, yes I did start this mind dump Tuesday
evening as I was cooking a nice chicken roast in the oven. Before I had to stop everything and run out
briefly to resolve some minor issues.
Made it back home safely and well the roast
is done I will be having it today for lunch/early dinner.
Why did I stop, drop and run. Because time is fleeting and when those you
love need something and never knowing when the last time God will allow us to
just be there. I choose to love them
where they are when I can. Sure it can
be overwhelming at times when we desire to do more for others yet responsibility
keeps the clear lines laid around us.
But I guess that is just part of the process and the blessing is to know
the difference of and blessing of freedom of choice.
And let’s face it; we never really know until
we try. No matter what be it right or
wrong or the greatest venture ever or the worse thing ever experienced. When God allows us to look behind us for
that brief glimpse it is never to wallow in any sorrows or boost in any
triumphs. But to acknowledge Jesus
thank you for allowing me to see and more importantly thank you for being with
me and even carrying me to the otherside.
The best thing I could have every learned in
this life is it is not about me. And
despite any attempt I try to make it
about you. The picture is far bigger
than I will ever be worthy to have words to describe.
Sure in this life the more you have the more
doors open it seems. But we cannot take
any of it but what is in our souls if we still have one at the time we find the
exit door.
Those exits have proven to cripple even the
goliath’s of modern day. Who would of
ever thought in the twentyith century we would be watching the massacre and
hate in a holy war that started centuries before any of our legacy or life
lines were ever walking this earth.
Jesus then, Jesus now! The beginning and the end. Do you have a relationship with Him
personally and not just what you read or have others tell you.
God help us!
Help me for all the inadaqucies I have come
to life may it always be enough for you and lead me through your will.
For all I have ever connected
For all yet to come
Good, bad or so misunderstood and
indifferent. Come wake us up Jesus,
guiding and protecting your children, your people. Though you know the reasons of ever
season good or bad. Help us find life through
you. Spirit lead us not on
feelings, not on reaction. But through pure ambition of all that is
good, all that is true, all that reflects your love and your light.
Thank you for all the moments you allow us to
just exhale and reminders its okay to just breathe in all the unknowns. Father Perfection takes time and only you
are the author of all that was and is to come.
Though I may never know if tomorrow will
come. Trusting in you Jesus is the most incrediable
blessing I have ever been given. May all
I know find your peace and love.
