Ephesians 3:20-21 (MSG) The Message

^20-21God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.

Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Holy Moly!!!!

That is all I can say, every time I think about getting up in the wee hours to write. I talk myself out of it and all my good intentions to just take time and release this crazy mind maze. Well, as you can see, I have not been out here. But I have been super busy. Work- life -unbalance.

Blessed to be employed, especially being back in the day I know what it was like to be raising two children and getting laid off. Or just living paycheck to paycheck and still never having enough for anything.

In today’s world where we have all become unknowingly greedy and always having to have that trip or that thing from the store. Be it for ourselves or others. It all cost.

I have made so many mistakes in my lifetime. Bad choices that I have lived with and worked myself towards the top of being out.

So, if me once beyond anticipated hobby to wake bright eyed and ready to tap away in the wee hours and still make a full day of work has been paused. Well, the blessing is here I am today.

Anticipation a great reminder of emotions and the roller coaster ride came to light during a gender reveal party this weekend. Oh, how we have to know or cannot wait for those temporary insane moments.

If only!

The hunger, excitement. The Joy I remember in my early walk with Christ how that warmth and all those things with anticipation would fill me over-flowing. I could not wait to get more, learn more and if I missed a service or study group how I felt like I was starving.

Later I started growing forward learning the differences and feeling the differences in Godly things and worldly choices and things.

Even today. A continual process.

As time goes on, we don’t ever stop the hunger for what we anticipate, need or desire. And Prayerfully for all those who struggle with the addictions and demons in their life. May the same God who rose from the dead, the same God who took all the pain and suffering for all of humanity in this world to have the opportunities of freedom of will and choice even when we make wrong one’s. To just breathe and call upon Jesus.

And all those things that wake us, derail us or even knock the wind out of us and leave us in a heap on the floor. Call upon Him and get back up.

No where is it written we will not suffer. It is written he is with us and will help us through and no matter what we endure. It will never come close to what Jesus already took to the cross so we could choose.

What is your Why of every day that is presented for you to choose the various opportunities that could be.

Good, bad or indifferent. It does not matter. If he allowed you back up and you have air in your lungs and a voice, or way of communication. You have a purpose to continue the journey in gratitude for all of it.

It has been tough. Man, the stories I could talk about all I have seen, heard, been part of either by choices I have made or even just by circumstances and the ripple effect of those I care about.

It is what it is until it is not.

And trust me when I say no one is guaranteed tomorrow.

We just recently lost a 34-year-old mom and her husband in a tragic auto accident, and they left 3 babies behind, one with special needs. He was a lineman and traveled for work and were driving in Idaho and well tragedy struck. We have mom with Alzheimer’s starting to kick in. Who can hardly walk from years of living in fear and never leaving her place to get out and about to do anything.

Yet in the bitter-sweet cycle of life given here I get to celebrate another 22-year-old who will have a baby come Thanksgiving.

What about when the storms come, and we are so consumed in fear and worry trying to control the situation they miss the rainbow or the new growth that occurs when the storm passes.

Everyone is going through something. Always remember forgiveness is for your own well-being. So, when those offend you make yourself safe and forgive them and move on.

Living with bitterness, hate or fear. Ready yourself for what may come to pass but let go and truly let God. March around your walls of Jericho with faith and prayer when faith dwindles.

If you stop believing you will surely never see the light and miss so much that is intended.

Pray

Pray for everything, to see, to hear, to be!

Pray in thanks, pray in protection of not just you but all you surround yourself with.

Remember Jesus has already won the battle, but our wars are still beginning. I want the Armor of God running so deep in my veins that through any of the pain, joy tears or laughter. I know it is only Jesus who will allow all that I am, be and have who will also allow me life beyond measure on the other side.

It is a scary time in our world, for our nation and for so many unexpecting, and innocence. Our Nation is in turmoil. Bullies are surrounding us everywhere, just not in middle schools. And well Government cannot even begin that abyss.

We need to pray for healing, guidance and morally sound, humanity driven leadership.

Cause the bottom-line is we all bleed the same. WE ALL gonna feel the tidal waves of destruction our greed and materialism, cancel culture has built without even realizing we don’t need a boarder wall. We need removal of heart blockers and personal selfishness walls.

I mean it starts with you and me. It starts with parents that are so overwhelmed just trying to make it so they can provide for their family, and they try this or that and get caught up losing their families or they become someone, something families don’t recognize or tire of being around due to the emotional roller coasters they are on.

Unfortunately, we cannot take it back once we have been caught up or say something. We can only pray for or give forgiveness and grow past it. Whatever IT is.

We all got IT, do IT. Sometimes we don’t even know what IT is when we are traveling at the speed of light trying to get IT or do IT all!

There does not need to be an excuse, we just need to know how to give it all to Jesus to take back to the foot of the cross and heal, love and find our true compass in obedience and live with purpose for eternity and stop steam rolling over anyone in our way for five minutes of temporal delusions.

I pray you find your purpose, your peace, your why!

I pray you love in all things filled with Jesus!

I pray for healing, reconciliation, and true light filling the depths of your soul. That which only God can do.

I pray the heat within your heart and the desires of the soul are eternal.

I pray you have a really good plan if you think you got this life on your own. And you can stay humble and caring.

No doubt there are a ton of people in this universe doing bad things lost and seem to be blessed all the while really good people are suffering. Well dare to be the light to shine in the darkness and give those good people suffering hope.

All it takes is truth and kindness. Be it, Live it. Get back up, brush off, say thank you and know we got a Big God!
