They say hindsight can be everything.
Looking back knowing how true that is for my own life, I am beyond
blessed that you kept calling me Jesus and your love finally broke through!
Beyond the desert through the storms all tangled up in all the wrong
things trying to find that love just to be held and you took me deeper than I will
ever be able to fully appreciate or explain.
Thank you! Though I may not see
all that I pray for at times I know it is you crushing the snakes and vipers in
darkness trying to consume me and all you allow in this journey. Deeper hit the mark watching those you care
for come to know you. Nope it will
never be me or my choices but one thing is for sure we all get there in our own
time and if it is meant that time runs out before it is you that matters most.
Love near or far will always be a God thing. All those human pleasures and collectible
treasures that are gone in a blink to the depths of only your light shining deep
within our souls when things all around us in this world look hopeless and dim.
So many including myself at times choosing based on assumptions as to
how we will speak, or even treat others.
Or even that chatter amongst our so-called friends thinking we have the
right to openly talk smack and judge others.
Forgetting we are just another broken shard of glass that at some point will cut our own wrist with the selfish
ambition and self-righteous how art though personalities that come out when we
think no one is looking.
News flash there is always someone looking, talking, watching and just
waiting for their chance.
I personally have no regrets…
Maybe a little that I never really got to know Jesus early in life but
then when I think about it. I wonder who
I would be if I was not where I was, when I was and where I am today.
Forgiveness, yeah! That one I
learned a long time ago to forgive but I never forget. And in my youth it would take me a minute or
two to not be that gullible hope filled fool and set my self up for a few more broken
pieces to be crushed all over the merciless universe I lived.
Not saying that I still am not gullible at times. But I have forever been scorned enough to
know that no one will ever love me and bring me life as Jesus does. And maybe that leaves me on the outskirts
and lacking some self-serving moments; maybe it just allows me to know just
what love is and be okay when things are not okay.
Looking back knowing this day way back when I lay in the hospital with
my water broke and in labor for a beautiful baby daughter that took almost 19
hours before she would arrive. Telling
the doctors to let me up and walk so I could relax and they disagreed and from
the moment the moved me from one bed to another she was out.
I did everything the hard way back then. Needing purpose, needing to find purpose for
what my life was supposed to be meant for.
God allowed me my son at 18 and
my daughter at 22. Never did I ever know
what love was though until I met Jesus.
I gave myself away and bowed down and fought the good fight in
relationship that no one should have ever been in much less tried to hold on to
just because you want something forever.
All those broken pieces just became my stairway to heaven. Fighting harder, proving all the whispers
and condescending parallel chatter of those who were supposed to be true and
care. While all they could do is chastise
and call out all the wrong things.
Broken beyond recognition yet never like you Christ Jesus.
I owned my choices, I did the worldly thing and put myself through
college multiple times, worked hard non-stop.
Remained the accountable parent and even broke hard when before
understanding we all get to choose and my own kids would sway in the wrong
directions and I was desperate to catch them before they fell.
It was only the grace of God I am able to continue to grow forward in
his light and love. And get back up
every time I face plant in that merciless dirt that hurts real bad when He is not
there to catch me when I fall.
None of us really know what will happen next in this crazy world we
were given to live. So much controversy
in the news with people, places and things and even more hate destroying innocence
and humanity. A cancel culture beyond all recognition of
what will happen in the end of their foolish games and choices. Or maybe they are just so blinded by the
evil and darkness of greed and selfishness they are numb to know that when the
war starts they too will be stacked up as collateral damage in the power struggles
the worlds governments exploit.
No amount of money or treasure will matter because that U Haul will
never be in the grave.
And truthfully you will and I will be lucky if we are allowed that privilege
to have one.
My heart breaks for humanity near or far. Yet, what can I do besides hold tight to my
faith and know God’s in control.
Love even those who mean to destroy anything that I or anyone I have
been blessed to know might be.
I will always be far from perfect. Perfection takes time and only Jesus
has all the space and time to be called such.
Remembering while trying to forget.
Never losing hope or the want and need to love no matter what.
Wiping away every tear no matter the reason the fall. Getting back up because He alone allows me.
Love from the outside in! What does
that really look like in this world. As
we believe in the dictators, leaders, biblical scholars, or just that average
person next store. We all believe in
something and no unless you mean to do me or what I have been given to know,
care and love do I really care what your choice is.
However, there is only one way to the Father and that is through His
sone Jesus Christ. So no matter what
door you are standing outside of, no matter what door you are walking
through. Know that and know only you can
choose what peace your soul will be granted.
For every demon you allow to flow out and harm what was meant for
good. Will consume you tenfold. That is a fact. All the rotten fruit will be removed and cast
into the depths of eternal pains and suffering.
You just do not see it yet. You
think hell is here and now; you think hell is all that happened to you as a
child. What was in the past does not
define your future~ Only your choices
to make it so do!
You are loved and meant for more than any song, any words, any feel
good movie can ever play out in your head trying to convince you. Just talk to Jesus, seek him and all that
he has for you.
Sure I could rock out and write of a hot and wild love story that the
body can crave any given moment we are allowed back up. Yet I pray I never stop hearing the whispers
of hope, mercy, grace and a way through the darkness that can consume us so
quickly.
Thankful to have lived life and learned the difference of what love can
be; and so blessed to have loved and learned what life really can be.
May the God of the universe son of many and Christ above all kings fill
all you are and change all that is broken, all that is dark all that robs us to
just breathe. We deserve nothing, yet
we chase everything. Jesus thank you
for allowing me to call you friend, lover of my soul and owner of all that I can
ever be. Peace Maker, Healer, Strength
in the darkest times to get back up. You
know all things unspoken or being shouted.
Heal all I am connected, protect and change the ways of men, women and
children. Accept the redemption and requests
of forgiveness and light the paths of all who call upon you.
Brighter than any diamond shine for the world to see! Wake us up, protect us, guide us and allow
your will to pour out through the same lands that are crumbling and splitting
apart. Fill us up with all you are Jesus.
Thank you for then, thank you for now. In your might precious name love
us from the outside in and inside out through and through. Allow us to know your love and blessings,
your will be done. Amen
