(Biblegateway.com) Bible Verse of the Day

Matthew 6:19-21 (NIV)

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

 

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you for this day Lord!   I need you closer than ever before as I am realizing how I am trying to balance that in-between.  Trying to not lose my blessings and remain with a Godly spirit all the while I am so burnt out of people throwing their burdens and messes my way.   No, it is not those truly in need.  We are talking about those that know the choices they make, and they would rather take from anyone and everyone else then dare make lasting changes in who they are and what they do.

Those always going off and letting everyone know how bad things are but not even caring for what they have.  Not having respect for the choices, they make not having respect for those that in their circle of influence.

Your heart Jesus I need your heart and all you are to consume me.   I feel like I am being pulled up on this fence and I either deal with people how they are used to acknowledging while fighting to stay deep within your love and not ever wanting to let go.

There is no sitting on the fence in life.   You either believe and do your best or you choose your way and deal with whatever comes.

Even when sometimes we are stuck dealing with those things that occur for who we allow in our life.

Kind of like walking in a house and nothing is ever put away or taken care of.  Leaving things to be damaged and destroyed from lack of care.   Then getting highly upset because someone, some pet or something happened, or you cannot find what you are looking for because you never cared enough to care for it in the first place.

I am far from perfect, but I fight hard daily to maintain what is personally mine.

But here I am tiring fast of all those who won’t do for themselves and are beautiful, and talented and could go further than I could ever take them.   But they just won’t try.

I have never been one for excuses even when my kids were little.   Life just is what it is and if you choose to do something and it causes issues.  Stop doing it and start taking care of making change that will be good.

 

I mess up all the time.  That push and pull of love and wanting to hold on and see what really grows forward for all I am tied to; yet so aware I need to step back and maybe even remove all that I am and watch.

Clarity versus Hope.   Hoping this world will really be something for the future of our children and our children’s children.

Lord I don’t spend near enough time with you.    Reading, journaling, doing devotions.    Father forgive me its not enough.   You have always been faithful yet so easily we/I allow distractions in allowing this weariness to try and consume us.

Allowing that battle of trusting what is real and what is not or should be.   All the while losing sight on the prize that you alone lift us up and bless every cell and neuron we are created with.

Chasing the things of the world; chasing more; chasing love; chasing paper.  Not managing the nothingness that we have right in front of us each day we are allowed up that becomes everything!

You Lord are the way maker.   Without any shadow of a doubt.   May you Lord wash through all that I am.   Reveal in me and all I am connected your will and show me how to get through this mountain or valley that we find ourselves.

May we love those who cannot love themselves as you would.  May we stay strong, confident, and courageous in you never losing our grip if we get weary.

Lord you will never turn your back on us.

 

So, when moments in our days are given and we feel like we are slipping.  May you realize you will always be right there to rescue us in whatever the storms are.

Be it those in the middle of a desert war, underground trap of Satan’s sandbox, or just day to day that life shakes us up.

No matter the loss of our humanity when you need our loved one’s back or even when our time is up, and we must get back up and keep going until you alone carry us to the door and either take us home or give us that one last realization we waited too long.   When we sit there thinking about how someone broke you first or that you need to run as fast as you can because you know they will.   

Yet you are stuck and cannot even understand why you do what you do when all reality reflects the truth that is never part of God’s plan for anyone to spin in or with.

Truth always shows up!   Good, bad, or indifferent.  What is in the dark always reflects in the light.   Good hearts may get broken and those who do in the heart of love will always get back up.   But the collateral damage the darkness breaks out will forever drown those who refuse to acknowledge freedom picking up that moral compass and fighting forward and being their best self to really know what means to give and not selfishly always take.

There is nothing in this world worth more than that of love, mercy, and grace only Jesus Christ can fill us up with.

Our way maker, who is with us in the valley or on that mountain top.  Only He leads us as the women at the well, the three men tossed in the fire or Daniel in the lion’s den.

This world is no different than any of those what could be tragic stories that because of love and belief in Jesus they were blessed, and the mess turned into eternal messages of hope.   That hope I pray I too will see this world come to acknowledge as we are healed by the faith, we cannot buy the future with.

Lord no matter what is; You always will be!   Thank you for this day and this mind maze that never stops thinking, doing, or trying to figure out.

Come heal this land Jesus.  Please come wash away all the hate, all the lost and pain that the delusions of worldly actions spawn.

Forgive me and please be with all that tug at my heart strings and show me how to get back to those days when everything I did had you flowing through it.

What, then, shall we say in response to this?  If God is for us, who can be against us?

 

Luke 1:37
For nothing is impossible with God.

 

Psalm 46:1-3 NKJV
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling.

Romans 15:13

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you, Jesus!

Thank you for knowing me and allowing me to learn and grow forward.

Thank you for allowing me to know I belong to you.  With one breath there was life and one sweep of a hand it is finished.

Guard, guide and allow me to see your ways and not be one to add to the madness of this crazy universe.

So easy to get caught up and stuck in what should be opinions shared that later turns in to hate and violence and everyone just doing whatever they can to be heard.   No matter how it hurts or destroys those around them or not.

We need healing in this land Jesus.  But you know that already. 

Hope in you Jesus and all that is written, all that you came to this world for, all that you suffered for, all that you died for and all that you give life in spirit for all who invite you in daily for.

Yes, we all get to choose.   Be it day-to-day, plans we try to make for something of yesterday or any tomorrows we want to see.  Be it following rules or choosing to take a vaccine or believe in what others in humanity can or have done.

Hope in you alone Lord, and your grace will lead us to the eternal home filled in the heavens of all that is good and while we are here fill us with peace and mercy through all the storms.

I wish Jesus I could confidently say I live to worship only you Father.   Forgive me as I am still stuck spinning in the flesh and trying to sort whatever life is supposed to be here and now.   Even though I know I am nothing without you.   I still fall short making you my priority on any given day.   I fall short keeping my eyes focused on you and absolutely knowing what is comes from you.

Sometimes its simply hard to sort it out.   Sometimes those wolves in sheep clothing have those magic works or sort of charisma that distracts us, and we are unable to see what really is or is not meant from you.

Laughing at myself knowing how much I am loved by you, as I openly write this truth.    Yet it is because you love us, you allow us the awareness and blessings and freedom to choose and learn along the way.

 

Lord there is no greater anything but that to worship you.   I just pray one day I can really live just to worship you alone and stop getting twisted and tangled by the day to day here and now or the desires of my heart.

Lord

Protect our churches that represent you alone!

Protect our children that are the future of this world!

Heal the elderly and stop their suffering!

Unify your children to shine brightly and boldly your kingdom and all the love, mercy, and grace you flow from every one of us!

Stop the hate Lord, show us how to stop participating in the hate and negativity that is burning this world to the ground!

Show us the truth and how to worship you!

Thank you for this day and this day 8 of 2021.

No matter what is, hold me closer than ever before as I am clinging to your legs as a child never wanting her father to leave.  

Breath of my soul, life in these dry bones.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you, Jesus!

There will never be enough of anything I can do sharing gratitude that is or will be enough.

You see the real me and every other living walking soul on this planet.

Those out there with hearts bursting with love and those that are just such big game players where they believe what they say so much to convince you they are real they miss the fact you see right through them.

We are who God created us to be.   Nothing more nothing less.   As soon as we acknowledge that and use it for the good the better everyone is.

I want to be rich.   Having everything means nothing when you don’t have real relationships to share life with.    Not those that are with you for what you can do for them or give them.    

Rich in love, Rich in Jesus, Rich in mercy and grace.  Rich in knowledge how to lead the way and reflect its okay to be not okay some days.   It’s okay to always praise our maker even in the storms. 

Listening to Hauser today and his release from Pearl Harbor.  What a beautiful example to find the beauty and praise in something so painful.    All that died, all that suffered, all the destruction.  

 

Yet listening to him playing and imagining as you look at just how things have changed from that dreadful day.

I think about how much we need that change right here right now.

I am not as grateful as I should be.  I have lost my faith in people.   I have been giving myself for so long or what I can make to give.

Struggling with why people are not just straight and honest.  Instead playing games and asking for money while sweet talking and talking smack.

God forgive me if I am too harsh but when people are all talk and never show up.  It just doesn’t cut it any more for me.   Not in whatever life I have left on this earth.

I know I was cruising for awhile just going through life loving and thinking I was still growing.  But I was really static, and you allowed me to be woke up.  Allowing me to learn what I really want my forever to be like.    

Its you Jesus.   If I cannot have anyone in this world, I need it to be you Jesus.

 

In life if I connect closer than arm’s length, I need no agenda friends and the real you the real them.  No more playing games with people, no more searching for whatever they can be given.  

 

You have shown me through all those scars I was never on my own.  

Lord I am sorry.  For what I didn’t do, for what I do make it when I should not.  Most importantly Lord show me the way.

Lord help me past this human condition.   I don’t want to pretend, and I absolutely no longer want any pretenders running empty draining the life out of all they play these games with.

Most importantly I cannot watch them breaking anymore.

 

Thank you for this day.  Thank you for all I am dealing with.  Thank you for all I am connected. 

Love all of me all I can be just as you choose Father God.    Lead me to and with your lamp in this heart.

Heal this broken nation Lord.

Heal those that would rather pit humanity against itself and destroy whatever and whoever they can just so they can have their wrongs or rights to be heard.

Show us how to unify through you alone Jesus!

Ephesians 3:20-21

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen

 

Romans 8:6
The mind of a sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

 

 

Isaiah 40:30-31
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint

 

Revelation 5:13
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them singing: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!”

 

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to see through my unbelieve and what I am doing to myself because of it.

 

Not unbelief in you Jesus.   The unbelief in that which transpires all around me, with me, or even to me.

Burying myself in helping and wanting so much for everyone else.  Looking in the mirror of reality and seeing how I have let myself go, let myself stop dancing.

At peace yet still tattered and torn over things I am trying to control or pushing and they are in your hands.    What happened to that common sense of owning what is within your own circle of influence and letting everything else work itself out.

Seeing the big picture is great until you lose yourself for all that is so far away.

Wanting the best for others is a beautiful thing.   Helping is better.  But living everyone else’s burdens, wants or life when they won’t own it themselves is absurd.

I have to get up and dance now Lord or I might has well go down for the count and just stop.

My days are not getting any longer, my loved ones well only you and they know.

Lord it cannot be about me.   It cannot be me spinning caught up in non-Jesus walking  believing relationships or anything they try to convince you are or they are not.

Father it has to be you.    This crazy world is enough.   You are the truth and the way no matter what.

May the truth reveal itself for those playing on the fence.    Your will be done father.   No more games with anyone I am connected.

I am not better or above.  I am yours!   That simple.  

 

Show me to love like you would Father.  Heal this land!

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

 

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):

Thank you for this new day 5  of this new year Lord.

As I looked up in the early dawn seeing the stars and partial moon bright and just hanging there.   Knowing you are so much bigger than all things this world has going on.

No matter what is or what is not.  What hurts or what is beyond ecstatic and happy.   You Lord are bigger than all things. 

May we rise up

May I not change who I am in you

May the abundance and reality of you shine bold and bright washing away all that is slowly suffocating this world

May we rise up like Lazarus

We want yet we do not fully dedicate and work for it

We hear only what we want to really listen to

We give what is not going to be missed

We take whatever we can get away with

We tolerate instead of letting our children figure it out on their own then we break when they fall hard

Stepping in, stepping up sometimes for all good intention’s others just for our own gratification

The how, the why, when  only matters with you Lord.    

Where are you now, where is your strength of encouragement that makes humanity want to be the light

So many unanswered and not even necessary questions.

We are not go just go through the motions

We are not to chase all that is worldly

We are to seek that balance of all that is good, moral, and human

Loving unconditionally while not worrying about if we are being loved or cared for back

It is far easier to pick up that moral compass and turn your back on what will destroy us than that of understanding just exactly what it should be

 

Taking the focus off of self and trying to balance works for long time until it doesn’t.   But then sometimes that one day’s pop up and you realize you too are part of that equation to be love and be loved.  

That one day pops up and you realize how beautiful that dream would be, or that if it were ever true could grow into something beyond beautiful.

 

It is so much easier staying in the desert and being the hands and feet than to think about if only.

Walking the walk and fighting every day given to hold on to that moral compass and keep doing our best  is real.

Sure, some will say they have never had an issue, but if everyone were to evaluate their life and why they do what they do.    Many will have to admit that deep truth and relationship with Jesus truly is missing.

Being Christian does not put me above anyone in fact it makes this mind and body work towards goals of respect and obedience daily.     It makes me want truth and it opens me up to be flattened more times than not no matter how street smart I grew up to be.

It is not easy but anything worth having forever is worth the fight.   Being I am after eternity I know God has won this war and my battle is whatever I allow within my reach or choose to chase after.

 

Temptation be it all my life or 20 years.   When it comes to wanting to be loved sometimes, we fall harder than others and sometimes we don’t fall at all

My goal regardless is to set my eyes on all that is unseen, on the God above as I look in the early morning skies or afternoon sun.

Seeking all that is pure, all that is merciful, all that is love.

As I fight the demons of worldly trust as I keep climbing over the wall of scars formed long before meeting you Jesus.

The great thing is.  It is not about me!    No matter what is or is not.  It is not about me.     Even if it does not make it hurt any less for those you grow to love and adore.

However, my God is greater than all that I will never understand, want or anything in-between.   For this I am blessed!

 The best thing we can start doing is be a light.   Have confidence in who we are and that we are created in the image of God.   And encourage and be the confidence and the light to help our children, our youth, our broken just how beautiful and needed they really are in this world.

Know your value outside of haves or have nots!

Plant the seeds of positivity and watering and feeding wherever or whenever you can.   Know that God will do the rest. 

We are not just a piece of meat for the world to use up for their own desires or temporal fantasy.     The mind, the cells, the lamina that bind each and every vessel together creating who we are is beyond science or the goals of those who will never feed their demons enough.     Protect your virtue, protect our future, protect our children.

 

Wake us up Lord.

Be with my family as with the deep sorrow we pray for Aunt Mary to make it through Covid and that Uncle Howard now RIP.



Crazy how the layers pile up yet somehow we peal them back one by one and keep going.  


2020 was so bittersweet here fighting hoping 2021 was going to be easier more real than ever before.   Yet here I am laying awake hurting fir my family and a great soul lost.   Angry in a sense people have not fully grasped how real Covid is until it hits there family. For me so far 6 with one fatality.  

I hate saying goodbye no matter how or why.  I guess that’s why I stay distant. 

I hate really caring deeply for anyone and it’s not enough. 

So what do we do.   Tap it out as I lay wide awake in the middle of the night. 


Blessed absolutely 210% blessed and I know it.  It’s not easy living but every day you are allowed to get back up. Fight forward and give thanks to Jesus.  

My uncle could have had long suffering but God allowed it to be quick.  

It may not sound anything but crazy to anyone who really doesn’t know Him or his son. 

Maybe I am.  It’s okay I will be that Hippy Jesus Freak and  just keep trying just keep believing in His living spirit and all that is written while trying to learn everyday allowed 

I would like fir once in the here and now for that  forever to really show up.   For once in this journey to really mean something for me to just be me.  

As I know it’s tone to stop beating myself up over what I can’t control and start finding me for me.   You know just dance and stop worrying about everything else ir who could be watching.  Life is way too short.  

I’m not strong.   I am a survivor trying to lead the way and help others know they matter.   Stability trying to give kids a chance for a future while not breaking because the world could really care less  

Loving hoping needing wanting all Jesus has blessed for me   

My connections are part of me   So whatever it takes whatever Jesus says just do it  


Stop listen meditate find the music and dance
