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

Never underestimate the feelings, dreams or things you or anyone else you are connected go through, feel or even act upon.

 

We are all uniquely and beautifully made by a power more caring, more powerful, more aware than anyone or anything on this earth will ever be.

 

That alone says much being there are some pretty powerful, talented and extremely smart human beings in this world.

 

There are those that put their time, their talent and all those pistons firing in their own mind maze for the greater good.  Trying to do heal, trying to save, trying to make the world a better place one step at a time. 

 

 Then there are others that just have not realized place in this world yet and they are out trying to find their way.

 

Sometimes by riding on the coattails of others, sometimes kindly weaving their way through and brushing off the mistakes while growing forward and others.  Well, strong arming, bullying, forcing, robbing, stealing any little piece of anything or anyone they can. 

 

Often wondering looking back to the 70’s and looking at the here and now of the 20th century and all that is to come.    Wondering are we really going to be that SciFi movie we have seen on TV.  Seriously how did the writers even of the Simpsons cartoon know how close in 1993 the episode would be to 2020-2021 with the war on government take over and the pandemic.

 

Sure, if you do your research you will know all governments have had their hands dirty for more than a lifetime.  No different from the Pharisees.  Just in our time what is happening is more evil in the masses and not small groups at time.

 

But this is neither here nor there.  We all know the conspiracy theories with many truths and even more wild ideas to feed the chaos and destruction.     

 

Crazy how we should all be living our best life and doing what brings light and life and never leaving us living in or with regret.

 

Things happen no matter what or who we are.  We all do things or allow things done with plans and process to feed the needs, dreams, desires for the life we are building in our own here and now.

 

The question should be is do we trust and obey the God who allows us to live no matter in the peaceful bliss or in the real life Sci-Fi?

 

Are we feeding our hearts?    What fruit are we nourished our very souls by?

 

Picking and choosing what we will publish, scream out or announce about others.  What is it that we are reflecting of our own beings?    If we are so free to broadcast all that our own family members or those we supposedly care for or about.  Why is it we do not step up and call out and broadcast about who Jesus Christ is?

 

Why do we not dive in, learning more and more every day who and what the God of the universe is; and who and what He said about his only son and what the future would be, could be?  

 

Why if there are so many who do not believe that Jesus is real; why do we fight so hard instead of just walking by and doing whatever it is they do.  Yet they argue, fight and do their best to prove the opposition.

 

I don’t know I assure you; not even sure how or why I ramble on about such things. Other than the facts of my life is here and my stories of almost deaths and destruction full of brokenness, let downs and constant belief seeing the good in everyone even when they are self-serving their own personal desires for temporal gains at my expense in one form or another. 

 

Thankfully, I grew up and learned only God has really loved me the way every kid dreams.   Every grown adult wants to feel and blessed with the common sense yes, the desires we want to fulfill can be beautiful or the most dangerous things we ever entertain.  None of them should always just be taken for granted. 

 

Everyone of us need our own rescue.  Everyone of us has our own story; big or little we all have something we don’t talk about, but it just never goes away.

 

Others have those triggers that we have let that little things we did talk about all to those we thought was with trusting loving and caring souls that only collected it to manipulate and massage the facts in a way to use us for their entertainment or control issues.

 

 

Watching so many young adults even today where they are in these so-called loving relationships where one dominates, controls and emotionally, verbally, and sometimes even physically abuses them.    While the victim makes excuses.   Or worse yet, they just get comfortable in a victim mentality and in the end, they have their lives taken from them completely.

 

 

Humanity is worth so much more than any of us allow it to be.

 

And as this mind maze twists it is just like us going to a church and confessing our selves to someone behind a curtain and walking away thinking we are washed clean from what we have done to others, with others, or about others.

 

No man can wash away any sins we commit.     It might make you feel better to go confess your sins but that is not what the bible means.

 

Yes, confess it and bring it forward; but you had better be sure you are giving it to God through Jesus Christ.  If you need help meeting him, staying within the swim lane of being washed clean.     Yes, find a true bible-based church where iron sharpens iron and men help men find God; and women help sisters  grow forward.

 

Where our brothers and sisters in Christ become your no agenda friends and the only agenda, they have is to be their best selves in HIM as the hands and feet and help healing and light the world paying it forward.

 

I have seen the best and worse in many.   I have seen so called elders of a church openly shake their heads and talk out loud where a young man full of tattoos walked in and by first look as he was walking looked under the influence.   All the while that elder never took the time to know the young man’s story.      That young man once a roofer working to build homes fell off a roof one hundred feet and lived.    Lived with a traumatic brain injury yet still getting back up and finding his way to God’s house after many months in a hospital.

Or what about those adults who condemn that young teen girl pregnant and all alone.   As they say they know what is best and have all the answers; but not once do they come along side her to see what she really needs.    At least few and far between do they without their own agenda or thoughts of wrong and right.

 

I even remember when I was 21 and my uncle telling me I should not be having another child; asking me what gives me the right to bring another life into the world and what kind of life would they have.

 

Looking back, it was hard being a parent at 18 and having two by 22.   But my children gave me life.   Gave me purpose and gave me the love to feel needed were no where else was it coming from.

 

Hard, a big hell yes.   Putting myself through school, working multiple jobs and raising my kids.  In and out of broken relationships and lots of mistakes.    I was blessed with finding myself and  a beautiful legacy with my children and grandchildren.

 

Grew up with them, and probably didn’t get half of it right.   But they both are alive and learning to grow up and forward themselves still today.

 

Later as time does.  I learned that very same uncle fathered a child when he was 17 that most of the family never new about and today that cousin who looks much like my other cousins who never got to know their biological father has his own family and life.

 

Crazy how the world spawns and spirals and we feed off it or into it.

 

I am blessed no matter who hears what they want to or ignores when I say.   Meet Jesus right where you are.      I would rather walk through the fires with him them ever alone in this world that has so many short circuits burning out of control.

 

Help guide your children and your children’s children!    Allow them to know who God is, what the Bible is, and who Jesus was, is and always will be.

 

Nothing in this world will be perfect.  There will always be somethings that feel like heaven while others are ripping you apart as living hell.     But nothing will ever give you the spiritual peace than that of deeply wanting and making purpose to allow Jesus to rescue you.  Even if it’s from yourself.

 

There is something to be said that in order to be first you must be last.   

 

 

So once again in this early morning blessing before the caffeine is flowing and the day to day run starts.    These pieces of me and all I have been given to allow to flow out.  Prayerfully hope you find your way, find the blessing and that peace that nothing will ever take.  That which only having that personal relationship with Christ Jesus will bring.

Deuteronomy 6: 6-7 (NIV) 

These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

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

 

Romans 88:28 AMP  We are assured and know that [God being a partner in their labor] all things work together and are [fitting into a plan] for good to and for those who love God and are called according to [His]design and purpose.

1 Corinthians    But we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolish to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

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

Thank you, Father God, for this day given!  Thank you for all you have filled me with over this journey.  Be with those who are precious to me and tug my heart strings ever single moment of every single day.

 

Through you Jesus, I am calm, I am at home.   Those times when physical words do not come out, my soul calls out your name and those moments in day to day I am in heaven.  

 

Unable to explain or even at times even move.  I just know I am held in your presence as peace and love wash through this being  when on many days of constant up and running.   Thank you for the moments you give Jesus.

 

No matter what surrounds me, acknowledging you are there I am forever loved and gifted with peace and tranquility that nothing on this earth can give but you.

 

Thank you for allowing me to know this and know I will never have or get enough of you.

 

Please Lord hold on to me as I so often just run never looking fully up.  Forgetting nothing transpires without going through your hands first.   And those things that just do not go away no matter what I do to keep moving from the grasp.   Lord I know your will be done.

 

May all I am connected come to know this peace, this love this light that sometime is so bright I cannot hide and others just a flicker yet still breathing with that same small voice whispering get and know who you belong.

 

You absolutely wreck me Jesus.  Knowing to be anything you need me to be to stand, lay and just be the love only you fulfill.     Forever through out eternity, love and faith beyond any time and space any human could ever fathom.

 

That passion for life, for love, for all we are given.   Jesus only you get it.  Only you know.      

 

The end of this story is out of my hands Lord.  You have always been with me.  You have always been with all I love dearly and do not understand. 

 

Jesus control here and now is just an illusion.   We think we have it all together more than those we are gifted to lead or help.   Yet most days we are just a same kind of different.    Never understanding and finding ways to get out of the ruts we find ourselves in.

 

 

Jesus take the pain, the sorrow, the hurts and all those things that block our views to the light on the other side or that silver lining.    Jesus we are really in your hands, then now and whatever any tomorrows bring.

 

Be with all that flow through this soul Jesus.   

 

Those days we are so alive in swimming and enjoying the flow while others this world just tries to keep us in the depths and barely treading water.   Father God, you are and always have been that spiritual faith that allows us to just breathe no matter where, no matter what.  

 

You will always be as long as we allow you in.  And even then, you are still there even when we run the other way.

 

Thank you for all the lessons, all the blessings, all the beauty and all that which is still yet to come.

 

If only every single soul I ever connect could know you, feel you, openly and freely let you shine through.   Until then Jesus use me as you see fit.

 

Lifting all my spiritual brothers and sisters up to you Father God.   Lifting all my blood blessings up to you and all those I have yet to meet.   Jesus may the crazy madness of all settled spirits Madness @Hillsong United

 of this world  be come to bow as you rule from the heavens beyond any reach we will ever see.   Rule @Hillsong United rule over all hearts destined for your greatness of love, mercy, grace, and abundant growth. 


Give me your promise Lord, you know what I yearn.

Even when there is nothing in this world I can or will do to ever deserve.

 

You raise me up each day therefore I’ll never burn

So, give me your promise Lord

 

In life

In truth

In action

In every word~

Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

Psalm 36:9   For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.

 

Jesus Freaks @dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs Revised and updated addition True  (Stories of Those who Stood for Jesus, the Ultimate Jesus Freaks)


“But we continue to preach because we have the same kind of faith the psalmist had when he said, “I believed in God, so I spoke.”   We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus , will also raise us with Jesus and present us to himself together with you.  All of this is for your benefit.  And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.”  @Paul The Apostle Martyred in Rome, A.D. 65 (2 Corinthians 4:13-15)

 

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

Martyrs then and now!  Yes, still today people are dying just because they believe and confess love, truth and what life is like for a God of the universe unseen, but we know He exists.   For an ultimate sacrifice of death and rebirth through his son Jesus.

 

You really do not get it; whatever it may be until it is real, attached to a real person, place or thing.    There are so many out there that pretend and so many more that are the real deal.  Ready to lay down their lives for what they believe in.

 

Life is relative for those walking it.  My realities are not yours; they could be but not necessarily all the time.

 

Those who suffer from depressions and anxieties their stress, fear and worthlessness is real.    There is nothing you or I can do to make it stick that they are created in the image of God and filled with so much beauty and purpose.   They have to find that themselves.

 

Although there will be many along the way with endless promises and even mindless manipulation that those who need that affirmation by flattery or just being held even if its by the wrong one and not forever.   That will be broken.

 

As a parent and a survivor of chasing love and fighting my way out of the dark from an incredibly young age far into my adult life.   Watching young adults and children suffer because life just isn’t working for them.    It is hard.

 

Sometimes beyond hard.     Watching your own children give up so very young because they believed and put all their worth into someone and it was taken away and they just never got over it.    Man, it sucks. 

 

  All we can do all we are given is to be our best self each day we are allowed up and learn to breathe through it.

 

Along the way sometimes we are beyond blessed and sometimes we are picking up the pieces of whatever is left from the storms that come to pass.

 

All the time we are still Gods creation and chosen and no one should ever be able to take that away from us.

 

Yet even when we walk in Gods promise like the so many Martyrs throughout time to even those who simple are beaten and broken by the elements of day to day.   It still happens.

 

I remember I heard once for every death a new baby is born.    I don’t know how true that is.   But what if there was a way to meet them in the vortex before they head in to the world?  Just fill them up with all that is good and joyful.   Those things that shine bright, those things that are colorful and loving and kind.

 

The world would be so much different.  

 

 

If only!

 

So many if only moments.    I have no regrets I am still living and that in itself is a blessing.  My life was one which the same man that ran over my foot while backing out of the driveway when I was a kid, was the same fool who my mother sent me with less than a year later to take me somewhere and I never made it.    The same one as a kid being lied to when someone was supposed to be driving you from Jacksonville to Tampa tells you the ride is too long, and we have to stay in a motel over night; to be awakened fighting for your life from a sound sleep in so much pain you will never forget.     Even when you lost so much time after that and do not even know how you ever made it back your own family.   

 

If I could change anything, I would stop all the harm to children and elderly.

If I could change anything,

 

I would have loved to really get to know who Jesus was before my 30s and being I had my children at 18 and 22 absolutely would have gotten them to know him as I do now and not just that authoritative figure or confess your sins and keeping living life mentality.

 

However, one thing I have learned is my son and daughter and grands all know who God is, who Jesus is, and I am blown away at times how Jesus shows up right when He is meant to even though I was not born into that protected so called Christian family.

 

Problem is sometimes just like me, maybe just like you we forget who is really in control or neglect to lean in on him.   And let the stress of day to day consume, poison and destroy any gifts we are given.

 

No matter how much of ourselves we give away even our lives all we can do is plant the seeds and we all get there in our own time.

 

Yes, pieces of me overtime come out.   I can be a hot mess myself.

I can forget my place in this world and to whom I belong while just wanting to feel that which God gives me from the inside out; to feel in human form.

 

I can forget and quickly snap and oh by far.   the pieces are just that.    With so very many opportunities where I should have been taken out of this world.

 

That time where I said was lost and I do not remember like a time zone lapse.  Where just being in a fog, being taken and used for some one’s payment to get high, or a stranger taking you to the woods and telling you to never tell anyone.

 

From those adults that teach you how to get high yourself with magic mushrooms or huffing paint.   All before the age of being a teenager.

 

Trust me when I say there is always someone out there that knows where you have been or what you are going through.    There will always be close calls, violations that you were not even in the world long enough to earn and certainly not deserve.

 

And you will survive through it and somehow along the way God will send angels to get you back up.  Then one day you will just learn to constantly get back up over and over.

 

It will be the days that you want to get back up and you have enough.  When you realize the same power that rose from the grave, the  same power that breathed us into existence is the same power that wants to live within and show what life really is like even when its hard.    That power will fill you with a peace, a love and hope that you will never understand, fully describe, or even deserve.

 

If there is anything, I could change  it would be for everyone I know everyone I connect to have that love from the inside out and then choose if they want to give it away or do everything to live for, with and in it.

 

My journey through the school of hard knocks and the stress that has even today played out.   Even with all I know I still allow what can’t control hurt and keep me up.

 

Walking with faith deep inside does not stop any hurts, habits, or hang-ups for any Christ followers.  It just allows us that deep unprecedented peace that flows without anyway to really understand when the world is falling around us and we are either hit with the layers, purposely catch the layers or are even making them ourselves.

 

We all are meant for each other, and we all want something better.   Be it peace, be it material items, places to go, collections of what toys we think make us feel better.

 

Sometimes some collect people.  Sometimes there is no reason, we just cannot seem to get past all the negative.    Sometimes no matter how blessed we are, no matter how many have stepped in to help lift us.  We still just cannot seem to not fall apart.

 

Many professionals tie it back to manic or chemical imbalances or even disorders that cause things to be in a constant cycle.    Most times without reaching deep into your spirituality or even dig in where you can change things to make a difference.   They just overlook it and throw prescriptions your way.

 

Many times, they are right, but I still believe if you were to take it all the way back to the beginning and who and how we came to be.   Long before the birds and the bees or being the product of any outcome.     God would set us straight and Jesus would be more than just the story of the ultimate Martyr on a cross giving his blood and life to flow in and with us.

 

As I watch those, I care about fall apart.  As I want so badly to believe in those who say its real and okay to fall into.  As I watch the world rip everything to fit their own little square peg world.    Changing things that really make no sense, some cases doing more harm than good.    As I look out past everyone because sometimes you just do not want anyone to see through your own scars, desires, or misguided beliefs.

 

Still no matter what is spinning you know the love and peace you choose to want is what allows you up each day and despite anything or everything.   It becomes the only thing that matters.

 

The only true no agenda fulfilling being of love, laughter and even redemption when you should have went left but you seen that squirrel and went right to just be and feel the freedom in the release of such freedom reflecting beauty.

 

Diving into His word, His song calling us together to the foot of the cross while Jesus stands with us North, East, West or South.   Good bad or indifferent.    God with us always.    Is the not only eternal peace, eternal life but that protection, that guidance, that which fills us up when we lose all of what never transpires or leaves taking pieces along the way.

 

It is okay to cry.  Cry out to Jesus~

It is okay to hurt. None of us will hurt or suffer as Christ Jesus did up to the cross or on it~ 

It is okay to need comfort~   John 14:16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—   He is strength, courage, healing the Provider of all things. 

 

Anyway, these are my thoughts and perspectives this day.   We all get to choose what and who we want to believe in.   We all make mistakes and sometimes we believe too much in some and put them on those platforms that we hurt when they fall from grace and we realize they are just human too.    Others we neglect to see things as they really are.   

 

It is what it is. No matter if real tragedy or just the world falling down around us.  Or that angst of that almost, that one.   

 

All I can say is give it all back to God and ask him to comfort and hold you so tight that you may not see him but feel him every moment you are allowed back up.

 

Cannot explain it, at some point you just know.   

 

Lord may none who have died believing in you and planting seeds be in vain.    Lift all of your children up Jesus and just pressure wash all the mud and muck away and allow your light to boldly shine on.   Heal us Lord.     Teach us how to love, how to be, how to live and how to forgive as you do.

 

Heal this land; mentally, physically, and beyond spiritually.

 


Thank you for allowing me the pieces to be better each day for and with you.

 

No matter the diagnosis, the storm, the lost loves or almost to be just something in an imagination.    Lord you are still in control.  You are the one that holds us and lets us know it is okay to fall apart and get back up with you.        Many may never get it, others will relate, some will shake their head others find humor and some pity.  But you alone Jesus know every single step, every soul take.   It is you that will utterly understand the meaning of life and allow us to learn when we cling to you.

 

Thank you for never giving up on me.   Thank you for allowing me life.
