John
3:20-21 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
20 For every wrongdoer hates
(loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks
from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be
exposed and reproved.
21 But he who practices truth [who
does what is right] comes out into the Light; so that his works may be plainly
shown to be what they are—wrought with God [divinely prompted, done with God’s
help, in dependence upon Him].

“The human mind is the pinnacle of My creation,
but so few use it for its primary purpose—knowing Me.” “I communicate continually through My Spirit,
My Word, and My creation. Only humans
are capable of receiving Me and responding to My presence.”
Psalms 34:4-6 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he
delivered me from all my fears. Those
who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame. This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
2 Peter 1:16-17 We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received honor and glory from God the
Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son,
whom I am well pleased.”
John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and
destroy; I have come that they may have life, and that they may 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 it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”

Prayers (Thinking out

No doubt I cannot do this life on my own and it is far more than just
having someone come stand by me to say you are not alone you got me…
There is something to be said about when you just fill the gap and have
people near, so you don’t feel lonely or to be used or use up their time, talents
and abilities to feed something you hunger.
We are / I am blessed with all I am allowed to do life with and all I am
allow to share, speak, act upon. Just as
much if not more for those who have come into my life and fed my spirit with
great messages of light and hope or just genuine lessons for life.
Crazy how things happen in life and yes sometimes if I were talking
luck, if I did not have bad luck, I would have none at all. Which is awesome I believe in faith and life
is what it is and not depend on the luck of the draw even if I sometimes hear
it or say in conversations.
September has been crazy again here at the home front and I am
frustrated and in bewilderment of what some of the lessons are other than
learning how to become more independent and learning how to fix things. Crazy stuff with my pull pump/filter
pipes blew apart not once but twice and I learned I need to replace my pool filter sooner than later;
now that I even have such things in this mind. Yesterday going to check my mail taking a stretch
from work. To find water in the end of
my driveway. Tracking where it came
from led me to the actual county water main box. So, I did what every homeowner would do and
called the utilities company only to find out the leak was piping on my side of
the blue wire 😊 And they could not do anything but shut the water
off.
I am weary even though smiling about it today. All the fun stuff that layers up day to day
being blessed to be a steward of a home and shelter for others. As well as day to day and all the other stuff
I squeeze in to take my mind off of what I have no control but hold the
heaviness sometimes way too much.
Reminded all things come into the light,
reminded nothing grows without rain and sometimes rain comes in storms. Reminded
all learning may not feel joyful but is necessary in the process of God’s
transforming power to come alive in you, in me.
There is always something to learn in every situation that occurs. And for me just because I have been successfully
walking with Jesus for a very long time now; it is not near long enough.
The facts remain no matter what we are giving, taking, learning, or
running in; Is it in God’s will or our own?
I won’t lie; I had that rush of overwhelming anxiety and sadness come
over me thinking I had to get on the plumbing issue to have water turned back
to my house.
Something I knew I could do; I just needed someone experienced to lead
me in the exacts so I didn’t spin and waste time and money. Yes, I could have called an emergency
plumber and paid the emergency fees and costs. But honestly as of late even those reputable
companies have not been available or worthy to be paid with all the impacts of
this Covid crises.
So, I posted questions, got information. Went and purchased something to cut the broken
pipes and take them to the store and first find all the pieces, put the model
together in the store then come home and start working on it. Never
being alone, I was blessed to have one that I love like my own come by and help
me really squeeze it all back together in the ground.
Which I am glad because some portions were very tight and even hard for
a grown man to push together once in the ground.
Anyway, yeah it has been a tough unavoidable couple years since the
Pandemic took over. Not saying life has
not had its rush of fools and breath-taking roller-coaster ride moments always.
But I wonder; has God got your attention yet?
Yeah, even though he has had mine I still am at times overwhelmed. Needing, wanting, filled with inabilities,
while fighting forward and crashing in the times that one more thing just came.
Then today I am allowed back up and see the beauty that grew from all
the storms that passed by. Or the like
that butterfly once out of its darkness is so vibrant and beautiful.
I need God; and am not ashamed to openly admit it. Even if I were surrounded by all the top
guns in the world protecting and caring for me. I still need God more than ever before.
It does not stop my moments of being upset, or cursing when I hurt
myself, or crying when I get mad, or even quitting a billion times a day and
crying out to him. Just because I met
Jesus one day right where I was. I have
to show up every single moment to do my best putting my best self all in.
I won’t deny thinking back on my youth and thinking I was in love and
being wrapped up with my baby daddy and the fun, craziness and even fights we
use to have. How I miss some of those
moments. But those are only moments that if we are blessed,
we have that special someone to always be.
Sometimes for only seconds to moments in time. God is forever!
Doesn’t mean I won’t fall face down on the moments when life goes wrong,
and I have no one to share the balance with help me understand by reminding every
little thing will be alright.
Or being in those moments where I take what others do or say too
personal, or even react and make it personal to someone else.
Doesn’t mean I don’t desire, sometimes burn like a kid with money in my
pocket just unable to wait to spend it on anything unknown as long as we make
it happen.
No matter if the world came to an end right here right now. We need to roll with the punches, pick
ourselves back up and be our best selves with or without the glam and glory of
having what the world says is all together.
Again, never confuse my words meaning we do not get to live, love and
experience love to the fullest, beauty beyond anything to compare and even laughter
so hard we cry in share joy more often than any hurt.
But when we cannot turn the volume down on the spirits trying to take
you down and out. Turn the music up and
make it clear darkens or any of Satan’s little gremlins in spirit or human form
will never win against the God you call upon in the name of Jesus.
When it hurts. Do your best to
breathe through it. Doesn’t mean it
will go way; but you will learn the new way to keep moving. Shine on and just keep smiling and keep them
wondering.
Ask for help, talk about it with those you know even if they cannot do
anything. They hear you and will pray
long and hard as you would for them.
Oh, have I not mentioned prayer in a while? Sorry; like some of those things you just do
and when it comes time to give directions you have to walk through it step by
step to remember not everyone gets your assumptions.
Me I know I assume allot as I shake my head sometimes wondering how I would
of, should of or even could of. But its
all good in the grand scheme of things and where I have been and where I am yet
to go. Pray is like a vitamin you need
to take multiple times a day. Just to
talk to Jesus and vent to release all the hurts, habits, hang-ups, wants needs,
and daily praise no matter what comes next.
And for me; music under the loud headset, from Marley to Mac to CCR, Ed Sheeran
and around the world to just allow my soul to dance it out, praise it out, or
even sing it loud and release all that shines bright as stars and moon are
closer than we think as our spirits sour with the angels.
Anyway, that’s it for this mind maze dump; knowing I see all those
detour signs and so many different things could start pouring out.
What I can say is Release unto the one that gives you the abilities to
even be. Hold tight to trust, love and abundant
anything coming from Christ alone.
Not 15 minutes of fame even if it’s a lifetime for us its 15 seconds in God’s
timing. Learn to hear, see, and do his
will even in the little things. Give
all you are to him as he gave all he was as a man for us. Those temporal moments of what triggers
addiction to needing more will never be enough with out Jesus. Darkness wants your entire being including
your soul. Do not let it win.
Seek forgiveness in those indiscretions we all get caught off guard and
see we are there. Be true to yourself, be true to those you connect and never
ever pretend to be in something you really are not.
For now, peace out.
Pray Hard every day you are given.
Surround yourself with brothers and sisters and lovers of God through Jesus
Christ
Live, laugh and love abundantly even when it hurts~
Thank you, Jesus, for the moments I am still a hot mess growing through.
Be with all that makes life more meaningful…
