Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers /
Mind Maze Overflow
Well, I thought I was not going to have distractions and when I
did I would get back to it. Here we are,
just like that 5 days later and I am finally taking a moment to allow this mind
maze to tap out.
It still is what it is until it is not. And I am trying very hard not to just tap
out all that is going on in this life.
We all have stuff, and we all have demons in our closets.
You can fake it or deny it but just face it and know our humanistic
imperfections are exactly what will allow you and I to build that deep bond
with Jesus Christ who is just waiting for us to answer His call.
Sure, some of those imperfections will be sin and sure some of
those sins will be so great a ripple effect that people, places, and things
will be changed forever. But are you
truly trying to live in the shadows or are you just struggling and looking for the
light to do and say the right thing?
We all have our moments; love people for who they are and not what
they do or cannot do. Love them for
their souls and when their soul is so dark just give it all back to Jesus.
There is a God though you cannot see Him. You, me; all of us have air in our lungs that
we cannot see just as the wind that blows and we only know by feeling the breeze
on our skin on those hot days or cold winters.
We cannot see it, but we are allowed to know by trees, and things that
move around us.
We too know that God is alive in the souls of many through the
spirit of Jesus Christ by the good and sacrificial selfless acts of kindness that
so many give without expectations. Just
as we know Satan is alive by the darkness, we are challenged with in so many
others.
We all get to choose, not only what our next actions and words
will be of what we start. But also, that
of how we will react to all that others hook us into. It is hard to sometimes to even get out of
bed day after day when life we call tragedy strikes, and we seem to get knocked
off our feet day after day. That
mentality of it does not matter what I say or do because nothing ever goes
right.
I took today off from work as an extended long weekend from the
holiday. Blessed to be able to do so. Not having any real plans; just that I did
not know how I would feel when the heaviness of my sibling’s death has reached
one full year today.
Knowing there is no more suffering but more so knowing where I will
be or what I will be doing in whatever days
am I may be blessed to have
left. What is the why behind anything I
do?
Physically, Mentally, Spiritually~
It has truly been a wild ride this century so far.
Learning about loss, learning about how we can get caught up in
what we think is love and appreciation but really a lesson in making something
or someone an idol.
Looking for the good for
and with people and places and things allows so many doors of good, bad, and
indifferent opportunities to swing wide open.
And once they do how easily we learn reality.
Unexpected loss. Well, none
of us are promised tomorrow. Some souls are
robbed from this earth in our human perspectives way too soon leaving us
behind with unfinished feelings or things to say. While others suffering in the hands of darkness
only hope and pray, they themselves will end if the darkness cannot be lit up.
It is a wonder our universe is so unbalanced at times and people think
they can actually change what God designed.
So much chatter and static noise and never enough time with the father.
We all believe in something that is a fact that can never be changed.
We all must own our boundaries and own the responsibilities of
what we are given.
Unlike a kid that wants everything but does not want to step up
and in to earn it to the soul that just cannot do enough because they think
they cannot survive if they don’t.
We, You, I all of us must truly own our choices of what we will do
and how we will react.
Just because others label us and think they know our own destiny
better than we do ourselves. It is
between our soul and God and the only way to get to him is through Jesus
Christ.
We all have stories; call them what you will.
Every single one of us that are allowed 24 hours in any day have 24
hours of opportunities to be a light somewhere for someone when we cannot find
it for our own needs.
As much as I wish I should of, would of and absolutely could of
moments in my own life then and now. Sometimes
we just need to be still and let our spirits seek the goodness of all that is
even though human nature does not want to get past all the hurdles, hills, and
valleys of not really knowing why or when.
Do your best to always find the good in every moment you are
given. Holding on to all that is good.
It’s a hard task on any given day to do that. There is not a day that goes by when it
seems we have to prove ourselves or justify we are qualified in some area in
our lives. Then when we actually make
our own little mistakes that add to the layers.
Well, I know even at this stage it rides under my skin and sometimes gets
the best of me.
I dislike, sometimes even hate the fact, especially in the area of
service. Serving the church for many
years I still struggle when to hold on and when to let go when service becomes
a competition in God’s house as this huge production.
And even long before falling in love with Jesus how I would be the
first to jump up against bullying or just mean people in general.
And what about those valuable lessons in this journey when I had
to stand up and find myself and then own the truth. Ain’t no one ever gonna love me like Jesus.
Leaving me beyond grateful for allowing me to stop chasing what
was meant for him to teach me first.
Hard to explain, harder to show the peace that fills all the voids
in all the beautiful broken pieces through this atmosphere. Still in love with all he has given and all
those souls that have helped me beyond the mountain tops and far deeper than
the abyss. With so much more to learn
and love.
Forever learning, growing with and for Him!
