Ephesians 1:4 (TBT)

Because of his great love, he ordained[b]
us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence

3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his

Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds,
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NASB) 2 9 And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power
is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast [a]about my weaknesses, so that the power of
Christ may dwell in me
Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Awake in the
dead zone of what we call life, where disrespect and lies thrive. People
looking right out you are believing you cannot see through them as the lies
thrive and you cling tightly to the promise knowing what is to come.
Jesus how
could this ever be; that so many the same yet so many different?
Who are these
children that walk rebellious turning against themselves and all they are
created to be; full of talent, beauty throwing themselves away to the lies of the
world; trying to survive while turning on the very one’s that give them life.
Call it addiction,
a freedom fight, just who they think they are and what they think they deserve
You alone
Lord, know all that is to come. Your
clarity Lord is in plain sight no matter what is or is not of any of our
choosing. The facts remain; you Lord
are the beginning and the end and all that is in the middle.
It is only
you that can give peace and comfort when we find ourselves totally alone in the
depths of darkness.
Loving every bit
of the children you allowed me that truly gave me life; the time has come to
ready for the move. Whatever direction
that is; Jesus all that I ever was, am or will be is yours.
You are here
no matter who accepts or who does not.
We all pay now or pay later; but we all pay.
The collection
of marks that we think we must have by the things we have done or do; never
mattered then and do not matter now.
Lord you are the
way maker; come wash this world clean.
Please protect your children from all of the angry drunk adults doing
harm in abusive reactive and damning actions.
Protect the children from going hungry, from the adults that will sexually
and physically abuse them.
Protect the
elderly who gave so much through out their own life journey now in the hands of
care takers that just show up.
Protect them from the abuse, the lack of care.
Lord stop the
madness in the news. May the world
report you! Even when we cannot see, feel or hear may the
world shine you are here to stay Jesus.
Lord the
battles seen, and unseen are real here and now on this earth. Take all that I am and reflect your will and
purpose Jesus. No one else can help me
just as I cannot be the help that changes others to know their worth or purpose
forward for all that is good in truth.
The narcissist
ways that some have cannot be changed by anyone but themselves. Those who will lie, cheat, steal for whatever
they can do for their own personal ambitions are not something any parent,
grandparent, friend, lover or child can ever change. That individual must come to you themselves
Jesus.
We are all
good at doing what we do; be it self pity, self-motivation in either case at
some point we all must own the selfish in we are and address and accept the ego’s that drive each
day given ignoring any truth of what is and will be. Or we finally someday turn all about me to
selflessness and give away all we are for others.
Yet even then
we are driven for the feed that takes place as we fill up by serving others
even in the slightest is no different than that of one who tramples everything
in sight just to get what we all feel is deserved. Be it for our own being or anyone around.
So where does
that leave us in this vast world Lord.
Without you Jesus for sure we are forever lost, destroying anything you
intended, and all our children that many be allowed to go after when we are no
longer here on this journey.
I Lord want
to be different and how or when that can happen. Maybe here and now, maybe in the future life. I just know the brokenness in this path to
redemption leads to you.
Thank you for
all the days that lead me to you Father.
No matter what! Thank you alone.
As the day
starts new so do the mercies you allow me.
Forgive those who changed the beauty of the song forever. Forgive those who make the music stop. Forget those who drown out the beauty of the
birdsong or rainbow waterfalls. Forgive
me please allowing me grace to find you in this new day of opportunities wherever
you allow me. Be it stressing for this 13-year
checkup, knowing so much as changed. Stressing
over those I cannot control, and I so badly want protection and growth in you
for the littles. For all those I desperately
just needed to be real without expectation.
I know Lord I am not alone for this.
Jesus, I believe in you! All that
I am, all that I have, all that I will ever be belongs to you Father God. No matt
https://youtu.be/mUtJz7H_DCE “With All That I Am” @Hillsong Worship
Lord as we/I
get so caught up in the day to day hurdles and battles forgetting you really
have all this in control. No matter
what I may feel for or towards any person place or things. May I always know your purpose and be secure
in you alone. Give me strength to keep
forging forward. Never lying down to
become anyone’s door mat. But to stand
in purity and know who I am in you; even when I will never be perfect or
pretend to be. But able to shine a
light that reflects you for growth of
those who come to know any of you.
Please be
with all the broken-hearted healing all the wounds.
To the church of the Thessalonians in God our
Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace to you from God the Father and
the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thanksgiving and Prayer
3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers
and sisters,[b] and rightly so, because your faith is
growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is
increasing. 4 Therefore, among God’s churches we boast
about your perseverance and faith in all the persecutions and trials you are
enduring.
5 All this is evidence that God’s judgment is
right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for
which you are suffering. 6 God is just: He will pay back
trouble to those who trouble you 7 and give relief to
you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus
is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. 8 He
will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord
Jesus. 9 They will be punished with everlasting
destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of
his might 10 on the day he comes to be glorified in his
holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This
includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.
11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,
that our God may make you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may
bring to fruition your every desire for goodness and your every deed prompted
by faith. 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord
Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our
God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[c]
When your grown child starts defying you in your home having sleep overs on the property knowing you will not put your grandchildren in harms way during a pandemic or any other time. Makes you shut down and struggle not to punch them in the head any given day. I so hate disrespect. People suck at times even those you spawn. Yes I said it out loud!

John 15:1-5 (NIV) The Vine and the Branches
15 “I am the true vine, and my Father is
the gardener. 2 He
cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does
bear fruit he prunes[a]
so that it will be even more fruitful. 3 You
are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
4 Remain
in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must
remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. “I am the vine; you
are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing

people obtain favor from the Lord,

weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they
have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish
arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of
God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And
we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is
complete.

Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you for
this day Lord
No matter what
disobedience or misguided ways others do in disrespect or disloyalty. No matter what comes and goes in the
wind.
I am blessed
and you have me right where I am supposed to be. No
matter what others may do; if you Lord get me back up, I shall put all my hope
and faith back to you awaiting you to lead me
through this journey.
Though I love
to fight my battles through prayer and sometimes, allot of times when
challenged often by disobedient children.
I pick and choose what war will start.
Though I love
to jump in and hear my favorite upbeat motivational tunes, sometimes I just
have to dive straight into your truth so deep grasping tight to the peace that
will feed me through the day. That
river of peace to be right where you want me to be is unexplainable.
We are all going
through something and though I will step up and do my best to protect and guard
littles of this world; mine, yours it does not matter. I will always come to a point when grown
adults fully capable of knowing the choices they make are their own. Well, will have to do just that.
I have
nothing left for anyone that comes with their own self-serving agenda’s. Family Friend or foe.
This journey
has taught me much including even today how to know my own boundaries. As there is nothing wrong ever with caring,
sharing and loving people for who they are.
But we are
not here to rescue anyone. Though I
myself stumble often in the cycle of being helpful; that later enables bad
behavior and takes away from positive growth especially for our children.
With that; we
never stop loving them any less; we just have to learn to turn that switch off
and stop responding to all the manic temper tantrums allowing them to stand on
their own two feet and openly acknowledge the choices are their own because
they made them without having anything handed to them.
Knowing I
myself learned and still learning from every choice I ever made never having the
comforts of home or coddling parents.
But that of the cruel world and many hours of hard work to pay for my
own place to live and any food on my table.
Rarely did I
get it right the first time around; but it taught me endurance and to keep
trying if I wanted anything worthwhile. Far from perfect and absolutely sure my own
choices will not always be the best ones.
But as long as you get me up each day Lord; I will continue to do my
best with whatever I am given.
Even when
those around me at times need to be cut off from anything you allow me to do.
Please be
with all our workers serving humanity. Allow
the rest they need mind, body and spirit.
Blessings of healing for all Lord.
As every soul breathing in this universe is going through something. Even if they do not turn to you.
Guidance and
protection for the meek, weak, young and elderly.
Strength and courage,
I find my confidence in only you to grow forward with all you will for me and
not that of what my human nature reacts or wants.
I pray Jesus,
and everything you wish to provide and fill my remaining days with.
Fill your children with the confidence and all the mercy and grace only you can give. https://youtu.be/MEGGVmSSr-I “Confidence” @Sanctus Real

Verse of the Day (Biblegateway.com):
In your
relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who,
being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be
used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very
nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in
appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even
death on a cross!

Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Lord bless your
chosen who tell your story of hope and love through music.
Those who fear not stepping out and using their
time and talents painting broad impacting strokes giving life. From the whispers to the charismatic,
gospel, hip hop, worship face down ticket to the heavens. Hearing the train of keyboards play as the
guitars scream your praise and the drums beat down the walls of worldly judgment
for even a moment in time.
None of us
know when our worldly clock will stop.
We know in the here and now with this pandemic of Covid19 anyone of us
are likely candidates to come meet you sooner than later.
Mothers, fathers,
sisters and brothers everywhere are in the arms of your choosing Father God.
Is this the
awakening or the beginning of what real darkness for those who do not know you
really means?
None of us are
promised any tomorrows here and now.
Why we get so caught up in pointing fingers and filling the world with
contempt and hate is beyond me. I can
only pray I am strong enough to sing out in excitement for the day I get to see
you Jesus.
Somewhere in time we all will see your light Jesus and some will hold on to the abundance of peace only you give while others lose themselves forever https://youtu.be/esrTfwBiOM0 “Somewhere In Time” @John Barry
My prayers especially for those that tug on these heart strings of mine. Is that they run as fast as they can to your light Jesus and hold on with all they have. That they stop with their worldly judgmental vicious at times words and ways. Steam rolling their way through, putting themselves out there for what they demand the world to think they are. But to truly accept you and who they are in your eyes only.
Grasping onto the peace only you make sense of without any way to understand or describe it.
Far from perfect all of us here in humanity. But Jesus may we not fear to stand on, in and with your love. https://youtu.be/oFizRY8w0-I “Stand In Your Love” @Josh Baldwin
I could pick
up where I left off yesterday or talk about staying up all night distracting
this mind from reacting to things I get so tired of in this life and I will
never deny how I wish it was just that easy as Kid Rock singing about that
picture away and just moving on burying ourselves far from the truths that haunt
us. So many images if that is wall,
we were tossed into the fires pretending nothing has ever been said or done. Yet that is not who God is or wants from
us.
Every
connection we are allowed to make be it good or bad for us in this world as we
know it. All have meaning.
Though there
have been many times I prayed for so much to happen and others I did not
dare. Then those times when God knows I
will love those souls beyond anytime I have here and now. Even those at times in my life I prayed away
for my own well being or just knowing that is not what God wants.
From the days in the city and wondering where the
love https://youtu.be/WpYeekQkAdc “Where Is The Love” @The

The song does it really matter, does any of the words that dump out of this mind maze or how it takes me back to tell a story with music or why I even feel because of music. Our minds can be a beautiful release taking us places the body will never go; or be so damning even becoming a prison https://youtu.be/Hmw2E7bKJeo “Mind Is A Prison” @Alec Benjamin
Sometimes more than not we just need to be silent or what will ultimately @speak life “There are times when God asks nothing of His Children except silence, patience and tears”
At what point do we know the difference? At what point do we just stop feeling enough to silence the pains of those we cannot do anything but just sometimes tolerate the nonsensical behaviors that in truth you just want to lay them out for the disrespect to themselves and everyone around them.
Or those days when the world becomes so tiring. Knowing when you started out it was proving everyone wrong about who they say you would be. Making the fight all the way alone, using and being used by the ways of the world. To one day God opening your eyes and trying to maintain the fight for everything else but oneself.
Then one day; you wake up and know; none of it matters; all those moments of waiting, all those hurting; all that love, all that need, all those dreams. One day is sooner than it seems, and we will see the light calling. https://youtu.be/LIWAoT9aX78 “One Day” @Cochren & Co. One day all those cardboard testimonies shared and given. All those words that bring dead man walking. https://youtu.be/Nf4ufekHjeg “Dead Man Walking” @Jeremy Camp
One day every soul will bow before the one true God judging all the missed deliverables that truly mean nothing to Him; or all the hurt, lies, pain we allow ourselves to be trapped in.
As Jesus pulls all of us who take His hand out of the worlds confusion as we do and say so much meaningless venom.
May we find ourselves in you alone Jesus. In and with you we are no longer slaves. All the lies of fear, deceit and limitations to see the bold beautiful colors of this world that we were truly created to be and see or even be a part of new creation. It must start with us; it must start with me. Even if it just dumping out the mind maze twisting and turning through what we call life in person, in virtual reality, or just what is in our dreams it all starts with each individual https://youtu.be/xiYWfpjeiQw “Starts with Me” @TobyMac ft. Aaron Cole
Love yourself for who God calls you to be. Openly praise and protect your soul. Together or alone only God knows. https://youtu.be/Q5cPQg3oq-o “God Only Knows” @for King & Country
Only He knows and utterly understands who and what you have been through. Only He can be the one to release you from all that is chasing you in sleep or out running any given day.
Forgiveness through and with Christ is a must. No matter what will be in this world. Find your place and know the difference between forgiveness and acceptance. Release what you cannot change and change what you have in your control. Forgive and love through and with Jesus. “Choose and Not React” https://youtu.be/kFPeKSvfLbo “FORGIVENESS” @Motivational Video
https://youtu.be/xfkhqpl81NA “FORGIVENESS” @TobyMac ft. Lecrae
Not sure why but feeling God just allows things to flow and someone needs to hear these words today.
Father God: I pray no matter how weary I may grow, may I never stop seeking your forgiveness for the little things or the big things I transgress against you or others in this journey. As I pray forgiveness towards anything I have had against my own being in this journey. We all need forgiveness; I need forgiveness.
Thank you for each day you have allowed me and will allow me going forward.
Thank you for those beautiful voices, and instruments. The reminders of your love and beauty that awaits us in just a glimpse here and now; but oh, what it will be like when we see you in eternity. I wish I knew what it looked like and I know so many have headed that way and others I can only pray they truly redeemed their souls to and with you.
Here on earth there will always be an emptiness, yet I will do my best to keep the music loud and dance until I meet you in my next life. I pray for all those great slip and slide parties in heaven with laughter and children running safe and free and the BBQs lighting up the skies.
For there is no gold or diamond’s will ever be worth the price that will be as priceless than that of knowing you Jesus Christ.
Direct and protect my remaining days in you Lord! As there is never enough tears cried, or brokenness that comes close to what you went through leading up to that day you died.
Yet here you are you came back three days later and for those who allow you; You are alive deep inside.
Where those spikes through your hands and feet as a sledgehammer misses and taking out a child to the ground leaving their knew damaged for life. For the floods that wash the land there is never enough human tears that wash us clean then that blood of yours alone that washed us clean and white.
I will love you forever and never have enough thanks for the glimpse and promise of a future even if I will forever wait for my next life.
We all get to
choose; even on the days that seem darkness the light will shine as the Son
will reveal all He is for those who allow His peace, mercy and grace to come
alive as we walk forward not perfect but in loving obedience for all that is
more than what this world has to offer.
Thank you
Jesus, may I have the courage and endurance holding you tighter than anything
that will ever transpire here and now.

For it is in the depths of our souls that life twists and turns. Who will save us then, who will save us now? This is not a romance novel; this is not about what is temporal or that what will destroy us in the end. Or is it?
Thank you, Jesus, for another new day.

patience and care for those around me and who I am connected feels like is
being stretched and tested to no end.
https://youtu.be/rSaC-YbSDpo “Borderline” @Madonna
Where is the simplicity in just trying to have a decent life and provide helping others along the way? Without someone taking that extra ten miles when they are given an inch of kindness.
Is this where you are teaching me it is time to let go of everything and everyone, because they are all yours anyway?
As I look around this dwelling all weekend and just realize I could sell and give away everything and start a new journey. I know some of these feelings are too much time in one place. Too much time not being consumed with busyness.
Slowly cutting off all that has been a sort nourishment over time. Even trying to lose myself back intime in all the Outlanders, or Camelot’s seems to still allow me to awaken knowing You Jesus are the sweetest name and something here and now just is not working anymore.

Why Lord, do I wake these days remembering so much from so long ago. Those who once walked this earth and truly not knowing where they are now. This is not what it was ever supposed to be. Why did they, why did we never just call out and say Jesus Where are You?
https://youtu.be/7tRWU-B5_Rs “Jesus. Where Are You? (help me)” @unknown
You are the God who fights for us Jesus; so why can we not all have your strength and desire to fight for ourselves for all that is pure and good.
Why?
The biggest question of all time in the here and now that will not always be answered.
Where are those who do not answer?
Why do we feel so much hurt, pain and depression that we lose so many loved ones?
Where are you now Jesus?
I believe in you https://youtu.be/-Vt9n4vvtxg “Miracles” @Amanda Lindsey Cook as you flow through these veins it does not stop what this mind sees in all the pain that is all around, where so many will suffer abundance and loss. So many who have done no evil so much innocence lost in this world. As I watched one of the families, I use to share the same worship location with and them celebrate the barely of age unmarried daughter in a gender reveal party and post it for social media.
What am I not seeing with this Lord?
Why am I seeing this? Why do things like this come into this already fully charged mind maze?
Just as in my household across this great nation as we in humanity think we know it. You know all things Father God. What is it that you want from me as I look around?
Calling out to you daily, all hours of the day and night. Blessed beyond all measure. Lord there has to be more!
We are all broken people! Out using up anything and anyone we can, trying to fix and fit back in those broken pieces that our own puzzle of each day given.
Praying thanks for the ability to give my grandchildren what I could not always give my own children.
Yet knowing that fine line chord of thread is about to break from being stretched so long.
Knowing it is not my place; but it also not why you allowed me to be different from all others in this world and just roll with it. Just accept and do my own thing to fit in.
Why you allow me to feel? Leaving me in places where I am haunted by the past or aware according to this world, I will never be good enough? I am left to wonder why it is, we are only significant when people want or need something from us?
Why is it that the lack of self-respect and kindness that is priceless; that which is so rare to find many today do not even want to talk about, consider or much less live up to in this world?
You move your children around all the time Father God. Move us now!
What do you want us to do?
Dream no more, with visions of beautiful snowcapped mountains to the rolling seas. There is no person, place or thing; no elements that we find ourselves battling greater than you Jesus!
What is it that I must feel and see such things? Let your butterflies reveal all the new life in you, Father God. Have we truly come to realize who you are God; and what you need us to see?
Once that banner is lifted will we run back to what was and wipe our brow as this being a really close call? https://youtu.be/ftjEcrrf7r0 “One” @U2

Jesus, I will never know why you allow this mind maze to journey through all the lonely dark places that once were or for all that could be for any one of us. Consistently reaching for all that is so close yet so out of reach. You Jesus, who rescued me from myself so long ago.
What is it you want us to do to help those who need you Yahweh?
https://youtu.be/8YiBrLrYfb0 “Yahweh” @ft. Kari Jobe (live) @desperation band
You are faithful beyond anything I can tap out, sing out, act out! What is it Jesus in this time of 2020 do you want from me? From us?
Love is more than a verb, more that just letters. More than meaning what we say and saying what we mean!
The broken pieces that come will be put together and used for something more. None of us will ever be perfect, no matter what we spend, what we collect, what we do, or what is ever done to, for or against us.
For the at the foot of the cross that still flows with your life and your blood Jesus; You never change.
Even in the dreams, even in the darkness, even in the uncertain peculiarities of the truths we make in in this world that allow the media, and those who are lost trying to consume what little good we have. Gossip, slander, users and abusers are released with demon intent.
The echoes of laughter in the wind slowly silenced as you wave your hand; just as the day you spoke life into existence. You hold your children, weeping as they fall apart.
Seek the bold colors of the meadows released of all we are out of the cocoons. It is not a competition but that which survival of the fittest holding tightly to you Jesus!
The once belief that society makes us who we are is so untrue. We become what we allow. When all we must do is allow you to live within.
Sadly, no all will hear your calling; or touch heaven right where they are.
This heart wants something new Jesus, I need to know you deeper, to be sustained beyond all the ripples during the storms that will always be.
Chosen, and blessed for the life in these bones that you allow to come alive; even when It is so hard to feel.
Wanting the best of all you are Jesus; for all I am. May we all be desperate for the touch of heaven. https://youtu.be/nxxr47zEUxE “Touch Of Heaven” @Hillsong Worship
Jesus it is more than having your way with me; I pray for all I have and will ever connect. Have your way Jesus now. No matter who gets it or who does not. Show me, send me! Hear all that is and is to come from this soul you allowed life.
For the whisper of breath, you allow each one of us. Is your song there still so much more to be done! In you, with you, for you the Alpha, Omega.
It is more than a song. For we come with nothing and leave with nothing. To dust we were created and dust we will return. May you wash through all your children and reveal who they are truly to be and not just a new song for this day. https://youtu.be/1ozGKlOzEVc “New Wine” @Hillsong Worship
Save us from ourselves Lord; even those who just do not understand or want to know you.

John 17:20-23 (NIV) Jesus Prays for All Believers
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray
also for those who will believe in me through their message,
21 that
all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they
also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 I
have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—
23 I
in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the
world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
Isaiah 40:29-31 (NIV) 29 He
gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 30 Even youths grow
tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope
in the Lord will renew their
strength. They will soar on wings like
eagles;
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Psalms 133 (NIV) A song of ascents. Of David.
1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.
3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV) 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting
away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an
eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,
since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Psalm 89:15 (NIV) 15 Blessed
are those who have learned to acclaim you,
who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.
who walk in the light of your presence, Lord.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Dear Lord, how can we
not adore your beauty and creation.
Awakened by the whimpering of a puppy; I get up to meet beautiful Athena. Yes, more choices of others to rescue and bring home what they fully do not even understand or think how they will maintain. When they cannot even maintain themselves.
We know Jesus things will be hugely impacted if not devastating if I were no longer here on this earth. I have been blessed to fight up and forward all my existence and always looking out for the bloodline you gave me.
Unlike whining and flipping out when things are not handed to me or going anyway I wish they would.
Should I be angry Lord; I wish at times I could. As angry as I was all through my youth and young adult life. I wish I at times would just be weary enough to pack up, sell out and just go hide in that corner. Then I remember that is not where you are. That is the lies of the darkness. Pity, quitting, having enough and feeding the littles to the darkness. Just as I will rest the day you lay me down and not allow this vessel to get back up. The corner I go to will be where the streets of golden harps play. Until then So will I!
Continue doing my best with what and who I am given.
Thank you for this Sunday and the blessing to look into those transparent blue eyes of the one called Athena. So funny, some with those blue eyes have such a way to mesmerize you only seeing your light all around. Even knowing the blemishes and rough spots will come but your light will always illuminate.
In this case one of your furry creatures Lord; will have to do. Distractions and I am not sure what or where this will go. As you know my prayers for this family. And only you Jesus, are in control.
I can see and know that you see and know everything. Tears washing through the oceans of all who have not come to their senses to walk and talk with you daily. Who am I? A speck of dust in this vast vapor called humanity. Once lost finding my way to you. Just as you never gave up on me; you will never give up on your children. The generations before, now or any that come after. Be with all that I am Father God. Show me the way of what next; who; when and where!
Nothing in this world is meant forever; it is all temporary. May we rise up having faith in you and all that is eternal. May we truly come face down with you alone Jesus!
Guide and protect all I have come in connection with until now; and any I may in the future.
Lord, guard and protect guiding all that comes in this vessel and that of those in my household.
Reconcile all that is broken and show healing and new direction for what only you say should change. Not what we quit because we are hurt or angry. Not what we think we can do better because what is does not live up to the worldly standards.
May all things go through You Jesus. Just as you have always known about this time and what we are in for through 2020 before it was coming. Washing us clean in faith, and your promises alone. Well Father, as you know I have been awakened this day by cuteness; I must go dig in my “She Shed” and find the crate that my bear used to have when he was with us.
I pray that those who bring this living soul into my house; I pray they step up in diligence to be responsible and accountable and if not, they alone pay the price as we all must.
Thank you for this day, for being alive in those who invite you in. May we know if tomorrow never comes; we have been blessed abundantly in today for all who believe and live with you.
I myself do not know what tomorrow will be; or even how today is. I have been blessed to meet you Jesus long before my yesterdays are gone. From the North, South, East and West. It is you God that allows me breath. Nothing can change that ever! Thank you for allowing me to wish my siblings another year in this universe. If nothing else Lord, I am ready. Please show me direction.
I am forgiven, as I forgive all who have done me harm or injustice. Releasing all that could even be a thought back to you Jesus.
