Philippians 1:9-10  Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)

⁹ And this I pray: that your love may abound yet more and more and extend to its fullest development in knowledge and all keen insight [that your love may ^[a]display itself in greater depth of acquaintance and more comprehensive discernment],

¹⁰ So that you may surely learn to sense what is vital, and approve and prize what is excellent and of real value [recognizing the highest and the best, and distinguishing the moral differences], and that you may be untainted and pure and unerring and blameless [so that with hearts sincere and certain and unsullied, you may approach] the day of Christ [not stumbling nor causing others to stumble].

@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young

“I Am perpetually with you, taking care of you.  That is the most important fact of your existence. I Am not limited by time or space; My Prescence with you is a forever-promise.  You need not fear the future, for I am already there.  When you make that quantum leap into eternity, you will find Me awaiting you in heaven.  Your future is in My hands; I release it to you day by day, moment by moment.  Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow.  I want you to live this day abundantly, seeing all there is to see, doing all there is to do.  Don’t be distracted by future concerns.  Leave them to Me!  Each day of life is a glorious gift, but so few people know how to live within the confines of today.  Much of their worries or past regrets.  There remaining energy is sufficient only for liming through the day, not for living it to the full.  I am training you to keep your focus on My Presence in the present.  This is how to receive abundant Life, which flows freely from My throne of Grace.”

 

Thank you, Sarah Young, for your gifts you share from Christ above.  I pray every soul tap into what is available from your books and others gifted through books, on-line, CD, DVD.   Written, sung, or just played out.   Through yours and others gifts we are all able to celebrate with Christ!

 

Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

John 10:10   “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy;  I have come that they may have life and have life and have it to the full.”

James 4:13-15  Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.  What is your life?  You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”

 

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Father thank you for all who create and share their time and talents to help other souls like myself get to know you better.   Thank you for the ability to read and write and as I am consuming your words digest it back out; be it pieces or full devotions and scripture you put in front of me and direct this mind maze to act.

May every soul who exists come to know who you are Jesus and even for a moment choose you to fully understand the impacts of what their life and the priceless value you have allowed us to be.    Fully understand and own the freedom of choices and will they execute every day given.

Prayerfully, may it all be with sound mind, sound body and your will, your heart, your sight, your kindness, Jesus.  And God’s abundant love, mercy, and grace!

As this day comes to pass, as another month has come and gone for September 2021.   May the beautiful colors of change bring new hope, new promise, and life in humanity itself although a giant sticky bun with lots of little ants and insects trying to steal away the sweetness.   May the colors of love fill your canvas in beautiful harmonies Jesus.

 

As the temperatures even for a brief second here in the south drop to allow us to know the cycle of all things goes full circle.   May we let go and truly let God renew our spirit, finding our purpose and we grow forward knowing our full worth with you!

May all your people burn bright for life as you intended Jesus.   I know that is a big dream, for me, and this universe.    Yet, you are knowing all things before they ever even come to be.  Well, you know all things and yes Jesus you can step in and mold and make and change as you will.

May your Potters Hands wash us clean and wake us up; allowing the world to see your glory here and now.      I think you have the worlds attention, yet so many of us are so lost in that word of Can’t.     Jesus show the world just how you really can, and we can as we are made in your image.

I know I cannot do it on my own and our world is a huge mess of stickiness where those insects are coming from all directions, robbing life, biting, hurting, making, and leaving so much hurt and anger.

Planning as a universe to grow into the future when we were never promised even today.  Jesus; please show us how to live even getting back to basics.   Show me that even in the loss of any moments of any day.   The blessing is I am still here with more opportunity to just keep fighting forward.

That for me, for everyone is not as easy as it sounds.    We/I are so tied in knots and broken when we lose what we build up and others take, or storms come, or we just didn’t pay attention and gave it away to find those really in need are doing with out because those who accepted were selfishly caught up.

Riddles of what is coming out of this mind maze, unplanned and uncharted waters.

I just know I have had some of that weight and heaviness of up and coming and you as always remind me today not to worry about the tomorrows.   But to take the time I am called to take and be, and do~

What that looks like over any next days.   Only time will tell what will be seen.

Looking about the world in our instant views. We see the lava flowing, bodies being recovered that were missing, searches on for the darkness to be revealed.    Storms once devastating what we thought was life.   Now giving us a sense of hopelessness for those who do not know you and weariness for those who do.

Jesus reveal your truth and purpose for humanities pain.    Show me your will, filling me with you and my hearts desires.

You know all things.  Nothing will ever change all going through your hands before we ever come to be.

Bring us full circle and back to church Jesus.   Teach us how to be more than what we do, do more that matters for others and not just our collective spirits.   Show us how to shine bright.

Your love beyond space and time the one and only true sweetest soul ever King of kings, Lord of Lords.   Beyond all things.  All wants, all needs. Where nothing is everything and everything is nothing.  Jesus teach us how to love others how you love us.

When, if, where is all up to the great awakening of our souls Lord.   Banish the darkness and wash through this world allowing us to keep fighting forward for all that is to be through you.  Give us strength, courage, and acknowledgement of all blessings every day we have been given.

Until I come back to here and now.   Be my balance, be in all who I am connected.  Show me what I am and am to be.    I will never be who I was~  The world will never be the same.  May this mind never stop feeding on your greatness, love and abundant undeserving mercy and grace.   May all I am connected be more like you and heal fully alive as you were and did three days after that sacrifice on the cross.

2010-HOW THANKFUL ARE YOU (PrayersThoughts_PiecesofMe_AlwaysMeKelly)

Today 9-15-2010 marks 70 days until Thanksgiving 2010.



Now some are gonna whine and say don't remind me. Others ask whats the point and some are looking forward to sharing a time with family and loved ones; Giving thanks for every blessing they have received this year. Even despite some hard times along the way.



Well can I tell you and I know some people get offended or upset when I use this analogy.



But if I were to leave this earth tomorrow; I have no regrets of my life.



It has been full with ups, with downs; with so much unknown. It has been full of so many wonderful people and even those who didn't mesh with my personality or were not so wonderful. I have learned from.



I could list the hard times I have endured from the time I was able to walk up until yesterday. WHAT WOULD BE THE POINT!



I am blessed to get up another day to live and breath and even reflect on those would of should of could of things.



Yes there are many. The tears of pain, real physical pain through heart felt pains that I thought I wanted to kill me to make go away.



Or the tears of emotion seeing new born babies come into this world; seeing my children grow up and make a life for themselves;

seeing beautiful places and meeting so many beautiful people. You know the ones that just open their mouths and your drawn like a magnent with the message they are sharing and love that flows so freely.



Colors I have always been a colors person; loving just about everything thing and everyone. And being in awe when I go out into the gulf of Mexico with nothing but miles of ocean around or up in the moutians up north.



There is so much for me to still see this I know. But one thing I personally am thankful for everyday of my life.



Is for all I have experienced and all I have seen. And the vision and desire to put my one little me speck back out there and try to make things better for those that are being blinded or consumed and can not see and appreciate even a minute of good.



So I may make a differance today or not at all tomorrow. But I can say and maybe this is where my being selfish comes in. But like a rush of excitement and anticipation. When you know you can do something for someone that matters. Is what it is all about.



So it doesn't have to be big; it doesn't have to be planned. Just do it! You know PAY IT FORWARD... Every single day. And on those days that you just can't. And man I get them too. Just remember to give the thanks back to the one who has blessed you to be alive and be who you are and know there is Freedom of choice, Freedom of Will. So if you don't like how your life is working out, change it don't quit it; don't just be like everyone else. Dare to be different!



I have been there done that; more times then I care to reflect upon. And I have always been out there Heart and Soul. I am me Always me Kelly. I love; I laugh; I live; being happy and being saddened by things I would never expect.



But I AM Because I was blessed and given life by the sacrafice our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ died and blessed us all with.



Believe it or not that is not my to do or point. It is what it is.



My point is over the years and it has taken me many to realize we own nothing.

We are blessed with everything we allow to consume us.



Yet some of us due to all kinds of reasons lose their blessings, never had the education to know they even had them or health / wealth and circumstances out of their control make them in need. I personally learned long ago not to judge. Because my friend every single one of us live in a glass house. And you know that thing for every action is a reaction. Well that reaction of your judgment may just take your glass palace to the ground.



So Be kind always even when you don't want to.

Be free to give when you have the abilities. You can't take it with you. And it does not have to be money or material items. It could be a helping hand, a quiet ear to listen and not speak. A true I love you for who you are! You are not alone and you are loved.



Well I am thankful for anyone taking the time to read this post. I hope it gives you meaning and puts a smile on your face.



For years I have gotten into volunteering. With the City of Tampa, just with people or friends, with my church CCW and I personally can tell you time is more valuable then any dollar. I am a passionate person in everything I take on. And I believe that passion is a blessing and is what has carried me through.



But last year my passion stepped up when dear friends asked if I wanted to be part of taking home cooked boxed meals out to those living on the streets or in low income areas on Thanksgiving day. This is not handing out food for some to go home and cook. We gave them a meal. And I still remember with my granddaughter one man thanking us because they did not know how they were going to feed their children that day.



The little things are nothing compared to those crippling people right in our own back yard.



This year we are gearing up and planning to reach out right here in Spring Hill. A need that is far greater then most of us care to look at.

So far just in the 34606 zip area there have been 15 families displaced and lost their homes all with children. So far and we just started investigating there have been 76 students getting up and going to school for a better day that are currently considered homeless in Spring Hill.



I am sure there are more. Because I know coming from a single parent low income no income home. You just don't broadcast your not like everyone else.



In fact most will fight and do everything in their power; right , wrong or considered crazy to prove they can be like what is so called acceptable and normal.



My point for me maybe I will be a light to someone so they are blessed to do things God's way and not the ways of the world that are forced upon us.



So we are planning as mentioned and will know soon. Exactly which area's we will be cooking, boxing and taking food to.

And let them know they are loved.



Along with that I personally will be considering and praying just what would it take to adopt some of these folks for Christimas and get them in touch and share the meaning of Thanks and Gods love.



This will take effort. On my part and anyone who wants to come along. My goal is not to buy the needs of others. But get together an informational packet to help them network out to get back on their feet.



There are many that will eat a meal no matter what; but only some will really reach out to make that change that takes their own effort and desires.



There is a great need! I pray that others also dare to make a change.



I am thankful even if I fail that I can try one soul at a time.



Much love in Christ
