Psalm 139:13-14 (NIV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am
fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

“I AM A Mighty GOD. Nothing is too difficult for ME.”
Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God.
Deuteronomy 31:8 The Lord himself goes before you and will be
with you; he will never leave you nor
forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be
discouraged.
2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, “ My grace is sufficient
for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly
about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.

Prayers (Thinking out loud)
As I scurry out the door to get my annual heart
check today, where 14 years ago I had a 35mm patch put into my heart to keep
from bleeding out into my lungs. I
think how careless and carefree I was.
At some point I grew up, not because of the
heart. No, I was born with a broken
heart and lived with it all my days until 07.
At the time I was finally giving in and going for
surgery I had enough of this world. And
had it all planned out telling God who I never really knew then it would make
sense if I died on the table and although some would hurt; everything would
fall into place.
Yes, that was me always planning my life and always
finding my plans were not always best.
It took a 4-year-old then to convince me that I was needed for more than
just the mundane that was happening.
So, I asked God if He was going to keep me alive
to give me purpose. Cause at that time
all I had was what the world said…
Well then here I am 14 years after a 4-hour
surgery and 6 hours after it was done, I hit the floor running. And this morning heading off to see what has
been going on.
It is what is until it is not…. I have been
chasing my own demons and running into healthy choices and running away from
them too.
Just that
cycle of life, I guess. However, I
will have to think out loud a little more when I get back….from just a basic
scan to make sure the scar tissue that grows within us does not create block on what keeps me alive.
Always
something right… For every good thing, there is always a risk of something. We all get to choose if we will try and make
the best of every situation. We get to
choose if we will spin or move forward.
None of it changes what we feel, only that of what we do.
So, as I am having this echo done and listening to
my tech who I see once a year ramble on in our conversations about this
pandemic, masks, and vaccine. We both
did agree we all get to choose what we do for our own beings. For me outside of guidelines that could
limit life choices itself and/or even impact where you can go, what you can do or
even employment of those who work for companies that require you to mask up or
take the vaccine.
It comes down to personal conversations with those
closest to you. Your husband, your wife;
your children and the possible future of what will their world be like if you
need to depend on public schooling or events, yet you flatly refuse to follow
the government and those CDC guidelines put out across the world.
We all have to pick our own poison for ourselves
and for those babies we were given to govern and be good stewards of. None of which is any business of those far
left or right or in the middle.
If I chose to have the vaccine and I shorten my
life span no matter what my faith, or day to day. It is on me. If I had littles and chose to not and I get
sick or make them sick and they are left to a very cruel world. Well, that is a choice they are stuck with.
So, for all those who fit that new me term out
there Karen’s which is bizarre; where
honestly just unstable wanted to be heard personalities demanding their way is
the only way would even have a name.
Well, all I know is I don’t like conflict. I fought my way through life just to
survive. Now that I have some wits and
common sense, I hate being challenged over things that are no one else’s
business much less wasted time none of us can afford to lose.
For me I know how I was with my temper and not
holding back in my youth and God, it scares me to know if I am set off how bad
I can be. So, I just choose to find
peace in harmony of any days I am given.
The struggles in any one day any one souls’ life
are real. Even if many choose to look
past just to get where they want to be.
I personally cannot take on anyone else’s burdens, but I certainly will
never purpose to step all over any one to get anything I think I may want. Never have been that kind of person, never
will be! No matter who or what I encounter…
Although Christ is ultimately the pilot, captain of
all our vessels. That freedom of choice
allows us to invite him in and take flight.
No matter what we choose to get
us through, keep on keeping on or staying curled up buried in what robs us from
our lives. We were made to fly but we
have to release the baggage that holds us back from doing so.
We need that
positive anchor that locks the demons out and feeds our spirit with hope so
bold we never look back in regret. We
all need Jesus!
Memories are a beautiful thing; we can grow from
them, learn from them; love from them and most of all build life from all that
is, all that was into all that can be. No matter what we are investing our time
in. People, places, or things… We all
own the choices we make. Even if the
intentions were good or bad for that matter.
For every choice there is an end result and most times it will never be
exactly how our minds eye dreams it up.
If it’s meant to be it will be. In the meantime, find your peace and
acknowledge the mercy and grace only the peace of God brings. You do not have to give up life to build
that relationship with Him. Yes, to
live you must die to the ways of the world.
However, it does not mean life ends.
It means our choices become clear and when we mess up, we grow and own
who and what!
Never shortchange yourself and boxing in all the opportunity
or ability you have deep within. Know
who you were created in the image of and if you know; own the relationship to
grow you forward.
Good bad or indifferent! Let love find you through the ultimate lover
of all our souls.
Fight a little longer even if this is your last
second…Hold on to the light and all that is good. Be that one when you cannot find someone to
be it for you.
Yes, it gets tiring and wears you down. But it is so worth it in the end to get back
up and know the truth.
Fight longer, fight harder holding on tight even
if just threads to the rob of the one true king. Christ Jesus!
That is my thoughts out loud this day…
Happy blessed Friday. Until next time may you find your peace and
love wherever you are.
