Okay here we are again
What’s up everyone. Getting up
today just trying to chill out while knowing my God is in full control and when
our time is up, and He calls any of us home we just go.
Here we are with all that surrounds us in a vast blessed world we were given,
and we threw all the blessings to the wayside and chased all that filled
moments of what we thought was what life should be.
And when the moments of war ravage and rape innocence or evil dwellers
creep in like the sheep in wolves clothing and rob hearts, rob bank accounts,
and rob life we wonder how that could have been different.
When we believe or want to believe in humanity no matter how burnt we
have been while held to the torch of life.
Yet so often we have to come back and realize people without excuse of
sin and harm are just people chasing their own demons.
Like the storm chasers that are out waiting for Hurricane Ian to land in
Florida and report on the devastations about to come especially for those who
laughed off the warnings. Or even perhaps
thought they were untouchable. Even for
those who prepared, and it just was never enough.
Only God knows and when it is time; nothing will change that. Yes, I am right in the line of fire on this peninsula
that I moved to 20 something years ago and although not far inland but not on
the water but close enough in 12-24 hours will be wondering if it is our time. Picking up and trying to save what cannot
be taken with us when we leave, but just remaining what they say hunkered down
and stay as close and safe to loved one’s as possible with a plan.
Where would we have gone up the coast where when mother nature's fury
spawns it covers all of us.
Fires in California, floods all over the world. Storms in the night or storms in someone’s
day to day life. What we do in the calm
is what matters.
Though I am far from perfect in that space. Still learning, growing, and doing my best
to lead by example. There are still
times when the human comes out. Be it where
stress pours out because I have to stay busy or just anger because I forget who
I am and what Christ must think when he looks back and says, “oh that one” She forgot who I am and who she is in me.
Humbled often yet not near enough walking in humility when trying to be
saving grace for others. At least not until after the day to day we face. At which point we all when we believe see Gods Grace!
The older you get, you never forget.
In fact, sometimes you yearn for those days when you paid attention to
that adulting 101 class that just seemed to fly by.
Yet always if you know who you are if you really have been blessed to
meet Jesus and find who you are within the depths and beyond heart and soul. You will always remember to whom you belong. Praying God will keep you in the moments
where you feel Him in everything that consumes our days.
What really matters that you are chasing? Can you take it with you through
eternity? I know dumb questions to so
many. Most want what is front of them
until something bad is happening or the depression sets in. The unfortunate part where some leave this
earth before ever getting to know the Basic Instructions for life
Before Leaving Earth.
Me I cannot remember the exact day I woke up one day and realized I am
not who I once was. I can tell you when
I was living the world and when I changed and sought after something better and
lasting filling all the voids and even the reasons why. That day I only wish happen for everyone
far sooner than the stuff we put ourselves through.
It can be overwhelming, kind of like a child in the middle of a cold war
with all they knew ripped from them; the love of your life gone with no excuse,
but they just don’t want you any longer; or that same love never really existed
for the compassion and passion soul satisfying reasons you thought; or what
about putting all we are in a career and having all the material items in the
world, anything we want. Yet, each day
in the depths of our very being left so alone.
No matter what we are chasing, what we are running from or what we are
hunkered down and ready to withstand. None of it matters without the spirit of Jesus
the one and only creator living within us.
Love, mercy and grace the unseen faith and lighthouse to all the storms
that flood through the veins of the very vessel allowed to take one more breath
this very moment. Even at the brink of devastation
or extinction.
Where would we go, not listening to all those who have the answers and
say should. What would we do, ask the
hundreds of thousands living in the woods around your neighborhoods or swallowing
that pill or pushing that needle in.
How can we rectify, justify, or recognize what to do for that child
thrown away. The future of our world
our children! What about them, as they
are robbed from life, innocence and left for vultures.
Maybe it is the great purge taking place with our government bodies
lining their pockets and turning their back on moral values and truly helping
the future grow forward. Instead shedding
light on the same dirt their opponents in the game of power played with they shine
open to reflect the dirty secrets and misery of others first so they can set
their place on life’s game of chess until someone comes and knocks them off.
Thankful in all that I have seen and experienced and beyond blessed for
the reprieve and forgiveness overtime I have been given. Praying all I am connected, good, bad, known,
or unknown God consumes every single soul in love and life. For love and
life!
Thankful he paused and pauses this mind maze. And without a doubt aligns me and my focus
where it needs to be. Be it work, life
or trying to find that balance.
We are all broken people! Never forget
that no matter if we are performing or not.
Keep it real deep within that spirit you have been breathed in for another
day to choose what you will do, what you will say. How you will react in the good, in the bad
and in all the unknown.
I could be out here writing about all my long-lost loves, or my very own
romance of what it would be loved from the outside in. I could write about all the ups and down of
being a parent, how unselfish we have to become when we open our hearts and
doors to what is not our responsibility.
I could write about the best
romance movies, or what it would look like to in this head of mine if I truly
lived life for the flesh and all the temporal seconds that fleet us.
What deep gratification to hear from those years past and it is seeming like
yesterday. What it feels like to be
on the other side looking in. Or truly
knowing the blessing is knowing we are gifted with the vessel and ability to
choose in all the freedoms Jesus gives while passing through on this journey
called life.
I will never say not to love hard, because that is exactly what it is especially
when trying to hold what is meant for only moments in time. Even
if we haven’t seen it yet or never will.
Never look down on anyone that does not fit your circle, your view, your
expectations. In fact, it will be your
blessing to give them a helping hand.
We are all guilty be it we know it, see it or not that person in need on
the side of the road or before, during or after the storms of life come.
Know your boundaries and know why you will or will not!
Live, Love and Laugh and on those in between moments Let it hurt! Let it
heal! Let it go! Need for nothing
but the one who sustains the very air in your lungs. Dive in and feed your soul in truth and
light! BibleGateway.com: A
searchable online Bible in over 150 versions and 50 languages.
No matter
what you choose, know without the gift of life from Jesus none of it matters. Love those you were given while you have
them. Love yourself and lead by
example. Someone is always watching and
trust me it is not what you have, that makes you, You!
Until
next time I am blessed for another day as you are. Make it count. Be the light amongst all the darkness trying
to consume every second of any day.
None of
us can do it on our own; and though I would not want to ever lose those who I have
been given in this life. But I am beyond
blessed to have met Jesus right where I was and allow Him to fill me with all
the promises of hope, life, and light.
The peace beyond all that hurts or twists us up is indescribable for
all days.
