 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

We get so caught up in those bad habits they become our reality blinding us from escape when all we wanted was one true escape and something that is lasting and true.   Leaning on me, leaning on you.  Never quitting each other no matter what we do.   Knowing when we believe and fight forward, we find reality in the timeless truths that can never be taken away or lost even when we cannot see, feel, or touch what we want most. 

Look around and if you cannot see with your eyes wide open, see with your heart and listen to all those who have nothing, yet they laugh and have joy deep down inside as if they have everything.  So do you, so do me~

 

Maybe this is it, maybe there is more.  Even if there is will, we appreciate what we are given when we have it.   Most times we set it down like a child getting all new toys at Christmas and just forget about it as we chase the next and the next.   

Love wide open happens when you love yourself first in truth of what you are really made of.  Setting boundaries to love unconditionally yet never be that doormat, all while filled with forgiveness but knowing if they hand you the scissors you will surely cut the ties.

 

What is it that we want from this life that is our own filling us up to overflow pouring out all that is bright even in our darkest hours if something has chipped away?   It does not matter who or how it was broken and chipped what matters is what will we do with the pieces we have left?

Sometimes everyone knows you but never recognize who you really are.  Allowing us to change to be what they see, what they demand, what they allow us to become slaves to.   

The party in the garden didn’t turn out so well for Adam and Eve.  In fact, humanity pays for the betrayal for eternity as each generation pays for the mistakes those before us make.

What we do with what we have on the other side here and now matters most that will eventually get us where we will be later.

 

So, what if we screw up making big mistakes or small.    What can we learn from it, from them, or anyone that has taken those broken pieces for their collection even if they do not know that is what they are doing!

 

Do you recognize who  you alone are and were made in the image of God?

 

We will never be enough for even half the people we engage or connect with in life.  In the truth being told we are all broken, jagged edges to the beautiful mosaic canvas God is waiting for us to fill with the colors of hope, peace, mercy, forgiveness where he will top it all of glazed with abundant grace for all who continue to do their best and hold on to his son Christ Jesus.

 

I don’t know how or why I would or even could feel and tap all of what we have here and now out and know even on the bad days, even on the days were we need His rescue.  Perhaps being the dreamer deep inside, perhaps all the waves of misfortune from the day I came into this place called earth.      Perhaps the fact that God himself in all the space and unknown where the spiritual wars have been on-going before the beginning of time.   As they will far past the end of our times.   Perhaps some of those dreams that make you jump in the middle of night and reach out to someone trying to warn them of what may be coming.    He also reminds us how loved we are no matter what…    

 

I will never measure up to those I once chased just wanting that one chance to be what they believed or wanted.     Yet God has had a way to prove to me I am more than enough as I am a child of His chosen.     Daughter of the Prince of Peace that allows us to find our identity in love.  

Perhaps the whispers of the name that comes to mind in the middle of the night are true and meant to be.  Perhaps they are just lights shining for something more waiting for you to truly give yourself and let go of what wouldn’t, couldn’t or didn’t and you fill in the blanks for the world has so many opportunities that can go there.

The unfortunate loss is that of our own personal time and space while we chase all that should not be, or just wait for what think will be.    We have to want to live and to be, to do.   We must believe in the blood of Jesus that has washed those who raise their hands up and hold on in faith and not just out in front looking for someone to fill them up with all that is temporal and robs us.

 

We may not see it, but Jesus is right in front of us, next to us surrounding us and just wanting our invitation to allow his spirit to come live within our own.     Just as rehab is not for those who need it, it is for those who want it.      I may pray my heart out but only God knows if that soul I am praying for will ever soften and make the changes and want themselves.    But it will not stop me from believing Gods army of angels cannot come down and consume us helping us find our way back on the path of life ever after.      

The angels of mercy, accountibility, healing, strength.    There is nothing stronger than the blood of Jesus or anyone that represents the best intentions.      Not man, not legal, governmental, or even hustlers of this world.

Though it may be dark now but through God the son Jesus Christ will always shine through.

God is not here for those who think they are perfect.  He is here for all who call upon his name daily and believe and trust in his mercy, grace and salvation awaiting.

 

So, I may be deep in love with a dream that may or may not turn out in truth to be.    I am one that will always need Jesus.    No matter what is, no matter what will be.   If I leave here tomorrow or a billion tomorrows from now.     We all have a story and I need all that God is to be leading me through mine.   Even if I get derailed, detoured, and fall off the path.    I know He is with me; He is waiting for you as well to call upon him daily.    

Father God for all of us that need you including those afraid to call upon you.   Afraid they will lose life and things will change.   Yes, they are right to be first we must be last, to live we must die to ourselves.    Father God send your angel army and fill us up.   You know all things and may that blood of your son that poured out and fille the land as your breathed life into the dust and formed humanity.    

Come now and heal the land that has been so disrupted in darkness and hate.  Brokenness and lost abilities to give without giving all we are away.   Fill us with the light of hope and energy filled with your abundant mercy and salvation waiting for those to call upon you.

 

Believers and non-believers.  Lord give me strength to fight forward and do what is right in your will not my own.    Be with all I am connected and fill them up to see the truth and work towards something better than chasing all that is temporal.    Heal the sick and broken!    Never stop healing me.

Psalm 63:1 NKJV O God, You are my God; early will I seek You; my soul thirsty or You; my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where there is no water.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

We never really know.   I know my ex-husband since I was a kid and we grew up together, got in trouble together or did things kids should not be doing.   We thought then we knew everything as kids.  We were never a couple as kids we were best buds and we and all our friends hung out and trusted the circle not giving it a second thought.     Later in life we crossed paths again and did become a couple and after years of being together went ahead and got married and it was just a couple short years after the marriage that we learned we never really knew each other at all.

 

It seems at times if we do not question moral value, judgement, or even wrong directions we see up ahead.  Things can just keep going digging us deeper in.   You know what you do not know won’t hurt you.   But as soon as you seek the truth or ask why things change.

 

Now I can only say this.   We are so quick to jump in and say we commit until we have to work for it.     Yes, I have good reasons for trust issues.   No, I won’t go into details about all the things I said during our team effort of trying to being a couple that turned out to be everything we kept saying we did not want it to be.  And no, we did not focus so much on what should not be to lose what was.    In fact, I have always been trusting and push others to be their real selves until it costs too much.   Even then sometimes people just cannot be up front, truthful, or real.

 

We push ourselves through and for sometimes too long we just do not want to wake up to see what has been right in front of us all along.

 

Be it our personal relationships, our family, our friends or even our spiritual relationship and growth.    All relationships take effort.  All relationships be it partner, lover, sibling, parental, work and so on.  Every single relationship takes effort and communication if you want it to be meaningful and lasting.      Too often we take it for granted.     Kind of like thinking if we show up for a church service on a Sunday or major holiday we are covered when things get really hairy and crazy in the world we live.   

We want a job, but we do want to work for it.  Or we even go as far as letting our own children if we raise them grow up feeling entitled and expecting the world will or should give them whatever they want on a whim.

We make all of what we collect more important than what life itself has been.

Always ready to point the finger and blame it on everything and everyone else but our own lack of judgement, actions or even the cause from our actions.

 

None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, and none of us deserve anything.   What kind of legacy are you planting go grow forward after you are gone?    Who will really know you and the real you and not just what you do or did while you had the life and mobility to do so.

 

What have you given back to the earth that you came from to help keep it growing or are you a taker?

No not talking about no tree hugging although if we thought more about our environments more often and more sooner.  Perhaps some things in life would not be so far out of reach now.

 

I have to admit, I grew up and learned how to raise chickens how to the were to be killed and cleaned for food.   I learned how to sew, how to plant and grow some stuff.   But I too am guilty that I never did it justice or made sure my children learned how to plant a garden and grow their own fruits and vegetables or whatever we needed.     And although I still eat allot of chicken.  If I have to kill it and clean it; well, it’s not happening.

 

In fact, I am so thankful my son married a beautiful soul that knows how to make, grow, create you name it and does so.   As for my daughter she is still looking for that instant gratification that I exposed her to in this microwave nation we live.

Me working two jobs and going to college raising two kids after a divorce didn’t leave me much one on one time.  Although we did allot; if I could change one thing I would absolutely go back and teach them all how to survive and own it and no matter what they put into  it to not expect anything but to be grateful for everything.

The good the bad, the full of life or loss of life, the growth and the almost but not there yet moments.

Over time no matter what direction we go in or what we do or do not do.  It will be alright.  The suffering or pains that we set ourselves up in will go away in the end and the lasting question is not about what happens next in the world but once we check out what happens with our eternal souls that never die.

I personally maybe wrongly but put my faith in the maker of all the universe and what is written in a book called the Bible and those who dive in and pull all the good out and shine the light of hope and all that of no more suffering, no more tears.    That which takes obedience that yes even I still lack today as hard as I try.

But for some reason, somehow inviting Christ Jesus to be with me in everything.  I just know that no matter what is wrong; everything will be alright.  No matter how bad it hurts, no matter how broken and dysfunctional, no matter how scarred or lost.   He will light the path and give me the rest I need.

No other person although they can give me temporary pleasures and allow me to feel good, bad or indifferent on the outside and sometimes really get under my skin and make this heart skip some beats.    It is Jesus and the hope of life ever after and all the nations that is the beat of what I want my heart to always remember to be.

We are not promised tomorrow, and yes, this world and the life in it is so unfair and unkind.  As babies come in and are taken as soon as they make it.  To those that we are blessed to create yet terminate because we are not ready to be a parent even though we do the deeds to procreate.

I cannot even begin the unfairness on all the human trafficking or child suffering or even those who have done great things and are now elderly and left in the hands of darkness, suffering and pain.

The world is so unkind and unfair.

But no where in the bible was it ever written that it would not be.    My goal is to stay on track and just keep trying to be my best self and do my best in what I am given and if it is not good enough know it was never intended to be.     If I was not enough for that soul who swore they wanted love and life forever.   It was not meant to be,  if I were not enough to direct the steps of my children it was not my place to manipulate or control their minds to be exactly as I wanted it to be.

If I work hard and do great things but it is not enough for that promotion or job.  There is something else that needs to be done and that is not meant for me.   If, when where or how and even with who.     It is all yet to be seen and although our steps lead us through still waters or the darkest valleys.    We are more than what is going on in the right here right now or almost.

 

We are children created in the image of the God who breathed us to life from the dust of the earth to the dust where we will return.

So as the great TMac has been blessed with words and prophecy through his journey and many songs.  Rise up and seek that new horizon.    Each day you are allowed to get back up; be grateful in all things and rise up beyond what is and stop wasting time chasing what you think will be.

 

Be your best self where and when and if it is not good enough, if it is not working out.  Make the change.    And when you depend on anything to get there.   Depend on the creator our Lord and Savior creator of all things and His son Jesus Christ first and always each day given.   Giving thanks and praise or even whispers in the dark or screams of joy or pain.

Expect nothing and be thankful for the everything that comes from it.    We do have to die to ourselves and selfish ambitions that Me’ism that controls us and prayerfully, hope filled fully give even the smallest acts of kindness even in our darkest moments.     Even when it sucks and we don’t deserve the bad remembering we do not deserve the good either but we are blessed sometimes more than not.

 

Thank you, Lord, for wherever this mind maze dump is coming from.  Thank you for yesterdays and any tomorrows.  And forgive me for making it about me more often than not.

It does not mean it has to be about anyone else.   So, I thank you for allowing me to want to get back up and keep trying even when I quit so long ago.

 

Be with all I am blessed to be connected, giving strength, peace, comfort, and abundant healing even if, even when or if we lose faith in who we are because of all that spins around us.   May the echoes of your love Jesus shine through and wash us in the same blood that died on that cross to allow us life breathe into us washing away any thing holding us back to grow in all that is good all that is pure all that is real.  Through the pain we all need to bleed a little to know we are alive and matter from the thorns every rose in the garden of life can bring.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Sometimes we must just go off by ourselves and take that time to just lay it all down at the foot of the cross to you Jesus!

Sometimes you need to just disconnect in the virtual imaginary and tap into real life.

 

Busy weekend making memories and experiences for and with some.  While life and misfortune surrounds every moment of every day; where someone or something is lost it takes effort to hold tight and just keep trying to shine a light if not for yourselves but for those outside of who you thought you ever would.

The critics and cynics will always be.   The players that are really good, and even those who lose themselves thinking they can play but they never learned the rules of what happens when they sell their soul out in the selfish ambitions that take them over.

To just pause and breathe in and know that very breath is because of you Jesus and give back even a flicker.   Thank you for allowing me this day.

 

 

Though I may be out of sight I am never far away comes to mind.   And I am grateful for all I am allowed to be, do, or not say this day and any others.

Lead me Jesus

You know all things of every being, in this entire universe.  From the sadness and loss of death and destruction to the turmoil that we become collateral damage to, with or even create.   Be with us all and lead us to be our best selves and always try to do our best for those around us and not just our own self ambitions.
