Matthew 1:23 “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”—which means, “God with us.”

Psalm 34:6  Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

Colossians 2:6-7  So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

It is not big surprise as I purposely made it to sleep in this morning that when I got up looking around finally in the daylight; this mind starts scanning all the things I feel I need to take care of.

From little projects of organization to finding what was thought to be, but not insight.

That perhaps the frustration of the more I look the more I find from the hands or lack of others that tend to use up yet never foster good care over what they are blessed.

Yet no matter how disarray this minds eye sees things in the blessings I am given.   I am overwhelmed with the knowledge I am safe here until you tell me Lord it is time to move again.

The ripples of what goes on around me thinking what if I need to go… and then I realize I will go where you send me as you have here and now when it is time I will go again.

 

Now sipping on this second cup and the mind goes back to the truth for that one who has been chatting me up for some time now.   Telling me what they think I want to hear. When all you want is the truth…Knowing to love someone with all you are and them acceptingly with no agenda, no lies, purposing to want that like love. 

Putting Christ first and aligning their life with the best they can be, the best they purpose for and all things in truth, obedience and just being the best self with all the opportunities and blessings they too are given each day allowed up.

Those filled with flattery and so quick to say I love you but cannot even love themselves enough to really know how to get past the me’ism and selfishness that drives them for the day to day that ripples through the veins within in the arms that bury them deeper into the darkness.

Maybe I am wrong, doubtful as I am so damn transparent any given day; many think they have that one up and many cases they play with the kindness that you allow to live deep within Jesus.

That which I am forever grateful, knowing how angry and withdrawn I could become…

 

That old joke I use to say before walking with so much… Just put them on the shelf until you need them and every now and again dust them off.

 

Even my anger of all the let down from those who broke me when I would say men are allot like those old cars that I would drive around in.   They could never be depended on in the most trip needed to be made.   Either out of gas or broken down leaving you stranded on that long dark road of life.

Oh yes, it appears Jesus you have opened this mind to weave and twist around this morning.

But, oh, so thankful another day given.    Knowing things up ahead that would, could, maybe even should be… Yet everything is in your hands Jesus.   For all that I am then, now, and always belong to you.   No matter how that leaves me in the middle of a crowd yet so very alone.  I still remember that day Jesus when you made me realize I have never been.

 

This world has so many corn mazes to find our ways through; but you Lord have never let go of me even when I did not know you had hold.

If this is what it is meant to be; so be it!      All my imperfections, wrong turns and sometimes purposed misdeeds or just lost in mistakes.    It does not matter who understands or gets me.  As it is about you Father.      This world has broken me a long time ago, long before you finally got this kid from the school of hard knocks ever taught.

It is what it is until it is not.    Though craving and desires to have someone like you Jesus from the outside in…  We can forever dream eyes wide shut or open.    As long as we know who you are and cling tightly to all you are.   It does not matter what others say, do or don’t.

 

Come what may we all get to choose, and I choose you first Jesus.   You are my only hope, my breath, my very existence.    Even it has a different meaning for every soul who believes.  I know it is you who allow me life.    Even if my own free will sometimes gets distracted and I let my own self down, hoping and wanting from a world and some within it, that blows whatever direction the wind flows.

 

If it is only you, I am able to love with all that I am and everything else is what it is.   I am blessed.  A mare recipient of more than what others can never understand.

Even on the days I do not.      Today, tomorrow, sometime, or never it is you and your word and the grace of Father God and his promise of abundance and beauty in what we choose to believe, what we choose to work towards, what we choose to hold on, what we choose to let go.

If one second, I ever let go I pray you catch me as I fall Jesus.  And if you do not may all the love and abilities given from then until now remind me how blessed it has been when so many others have not been.

The hurt, the healing.   Gives us all  purpose to choose and be and try or give up.   You Lord; I choose you as I am alive even though pieces of me are all over this journey and parts of me have died while others are fighting to come alive.

You know our hearts, our minds and even our actions.    Guide me, shining your presence as I cannot on my own.      Thank you for this day and all the twists and turns and anything that goes with it.    Forever in love yet eternally yours!

Forever in love yet eternally yours!

1 Timothy 6:15-16  Which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see.  To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

James 4:8  Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded. 

Acts 17:28  “For in him we live and move and have our being.: as some of your own poets have said, “ We are his offspring.”

Psalm 145:3-6  Great is the Lord and most worth of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.  One generation will commend your works to another; they will tell of your might acts.  They will speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty, and I will meditate on your wonderful works.  They will tell of the  power of your awesome works and I will proclaim your great deeds.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Happy fun blessed Friday into what we know as the sacrificial Memorial weekend for all our fallen who put their lives on the line so those in the USA would have freedoms they will never truly appreciate or use wisely.

Thank you, Lord, for another day given and all that has gone with this week passing and all that is to come today.

 

Release me Father from these entangled not so upbeat feelings that are trying to consume me.   Be it the political rhetoric that consumes my day to day or that of others shared with me that just adds to the layers already applied.

 

Be with those who are going through the changes, be the strength for those who need to let go and grow forward including myself.

 

The frustration of those who lack the will and respect and fly on the coattails of others or just the messes constantly left behind and the only way around keeping them cleared is ignore them or leave them all together.  

Empty words, without action; constant give away and pulling back.    The waves and ripples of all those that do not believe in you Jesus.

You are the only one that has allowed me to build my life.   Not the promotions, accolades, flattery of those who feel if they keep saying what they think you want to hear life will be as it should be.

 

Frustrating yes, when you put so much in anything and you are weary and all you really are that magic carpet ride others wipe their feet on.

The world and all those in it; including myself I suppose have our own unspoken agenda’s.

 

Open our eyes Lord and as I wake fully this day let mine be open to you and not all that seems to be trying to cling and weight me down.    Give me the visions of your beauty and how to take the next steps of all that is lasting and not just shutting out or down.

 

Clicks in an office, in a church in even your own small groups of what seems to be your life circle.     Let it go and free us for all that matters, all that is purposeful and all that is truth.

Not the temporal lies or games even if this in the world of unknown is one giant chess game and today although Princess of the most high King, Queen of my own domain feeling more like a pawn.

 

Weary and just needing to make it over that wall knowing your hand is there Jesus.   For me, for those I love, for those I want to love.

All I am belongs to you; all is yours…

Send your angels of accountibility, mercy, grace, and healing.   You know all things.

Protection, guidance letting your light shine bright.  Magnifying you Jesus.

 

Yet we get lost wishing, wanting, pushing, or tossing our way through so the world or those in our view see us.   Feeling empty, sometimes downright lost when we do not have the affirmations and things so temporal.

Trying to make sense Lord; I have no answers but that the disbelief I have some in truth is more real than anything they have given me to hold onto.   The want for others and pains of not seeing them growing to fulfill that want themselves when I know they do as they suffer in their own.    Or just the foolish pride I carry at times as I try to do to much and thrive for others; yet feel at times so uncertain for even my own.

Magnify all that you are for all my days left.   For all I connect through the rainbow ride or the fires.     So hard when scarred with so much cynicism so young  in life.    Exposed so early to how dark and painful the world can be.    Wash us clean Lord and shine bright the path to your truth.

 

Thank you for this day.

Thank you for all who have laid down their lives for the freedoms even now humanity is throwing away.

Thank you for the love that we take for granted.

Thank you for allowing each of us up another day to seek, be or live out the blessings and opportunities awaiting.

 

This too shall pass, what is in the dark always comes to light.  Be it yours, mine, or any unknowns.

 

May I always find you face down or with lifted hands and anywhere in between.  May I never forget who you are in me; and who I am created by you.   Be with even those who think they are taking flight and are one up and ahead without you in their own plans, schemes, and at times misdeeds for the selfish ambitions they seek.

I was until you allowed me out of my own wreckage as I now try to grasp on all that I am. 

So, feeling like a puppet, or dancing monkey.   May this day and any given be acknowledged and we be truly filled with your spirit of peace, abundant love, and hope of any tomorrows.   May we lift our hands, our eyes, and our hearts to you Jesus!   

 

More than just happy; may we dance deep in our souls when we cannot move out of our own way without the elements trying to consume us.    In Jesus mighty name.  May we learn and be love as you are Father God.

“Clothing your mind in Me is your best preparation for each day.  This discipline brings Joy and Peace to you and those around you.”

 

Psalm 27:8 NKJV  When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart sad to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

Romans 13:14  Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of sinful nature. 

1 Corinthians 2:16  “For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?”  But we have the mind of Christ.

Colossians 3:12  Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Running to you Father is all I can do.   There is no other that holds me like you do.

Just being me or trying to be my best self; with dreams, desires, wants and needs.   Yet really all I am requires you to sustain.

 

If only all the world of humanity would realize how precious, they are in your creation and stop trying to be what the world says it should be.   Looking and being what the perception of superficial day to day calls for.  Making money doing what we do, starving ourselves from true joy and peace to look like that supermodel or just fit in that mold of weirdness that we dare to be different just to exist and be seen.

 

In the arms of you my Father you accept ups and show us the way of every hair on our heads and how to unknot those heart strings when we cling to you through Jesus Christ.

Nowhere is it written unless we wrote it out that there would not be hard days.  Those days in the fire that help mold the next path we will run, skip, or walk slowly through.

There will always be something and someone more than me.  Always  those I truly love for the depths of what their glow shines forth.  

Even while their stitched-up hearts that have been broken in a billion pieces; without any mission to give or take from anyone.  They just glow forward helping nourish the spirits within your garden Jesus.

 

I will never stop needing you then, now, and always.   For all I am is blessed to life by you God. All I am given are the blessings loaned while in this journey.    Being good stewards of our vessels, and all things acquired for good use and purpose to shine, and help others grow forward.    

 Knowing in the blink of an eye; wind of a storm or drop of rain it can all change.  Yet the ability and blessing to be our best selves with what we are given and knowing if it is not good enough for some, many, or none at all it would have never been nor intended to be.

The greatness of you who lives through the very cells created in abundance of unexplainable peace all the while the darkness and its demons try to snuff out the very light that leads us to one day meet you in the land of milk and honey Jesus.   Face to face no more worries, pain, sorrow.   One day we will be face-to-face with the Truth Everlasting.

 

So be it sitting around a table with the breeze blowing as new meaning to family and friends circled up has come to be.   Or the heartbreak scrolling across any tv set where another one of your children have lost their mind to the demons.   

Jesus

Come Yesterday!

Come Tomorrow!

Come Now!  We need you now; I need you now and always, every breath I am allowed to exhale.

Thank you for allowing me the knowledge and power of you.  Thank you for this new day of opportunities waiting for me and all I connect.    May all I do be purposed and pleasing in your eyes and will.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you, Lord, for another morning to rise.   I wish I were that educated theologian to break it down and teach and preach what he said.    To have the connection to you and to the people like the legacy Billy Graham or any of those who have come and gone long before I was even this spec in the world.

No one can make us feel, do, or believe but our own inner beings.    No matter what we go through, no matter how many twists and turns that are the same but different.   We all get to choose.   

  Choose life and chase your light in love, with mercy and grace and fight for our own obedience in truth.    

Or allow the darkness to consume us and justify radical improper and long-suffering death.   

You Father God know when our last breath will be; but you have given us the freedom of will and choice to drive the destiny’s we go start out to and what or who we will step on or around to get there.

   No matter what our choices; you gave your only son so that we could have this life full of choices.

 John 3:16 (NIV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM   16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  And as I am reminded in this morning’s devotional…John 3:17 (NIV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.,

So, no matter what I do, what I say.

No matter if I write about where every scar I carry came from or even those I know I have left.  

No matter if I write about the yearning deep down in the flesh for that one love that is deep within this being or the many lessons and broken hearts along the way.   

There is only You Jesus that ultimately grant that abundant peace even when the tears flow like Niagara Falls or the peace and happiness erupts in laughter so hard you cannot stop crying. 

   Either way the tears, cells, molecules of this being belong to you Father God.  

Somewhere along the line I finally woke up in this journey and realized to whom I belong to and all that I am, all that I have been allowed to procreate and all I am allowed to sustain. 

Every single breath belongs to you.

So, no matter if right here and right now were it or 75 more years come.   Everything in and with you Jesus will be alright. 

   No matter what is or is not; no matter what happens around me or even to me. I will overcome, we will over come just as it is writte in 1 John 4:4 (NIV) @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

 

So be it, if some Bob Marley reminds me this morning or the sun that shines bright or even the thunder and lightening in the perfect storm that surrounds us. 

   You Jesus are with those who call upon your name. 


  May all my blessings, all my victories, all my strength and even hidden courage lead back to you always Jesus!

 

We all get to choose and although I will never be that scholarly when it comes to everything the Bible means, is or will be.  

But as I learn a little more each day and every breath you have given me is a blessing and an allowance to be one spec of my best self in this big old world. 

  One mustard seed in the canvas you have given me. 

   Full of lessons, colors, broken edges, and bold deep passion.    

For this even if it means nothing to anyone else in this journey or everything to everyone… 

It is you Jesus that deserve all the credit, all the glory, all of everything I will never be able to repay you with or for.    


Thank you for this day and any more that may come.

May we turn the page and bring to life the story you Jesus died for so we could live and paint that canvas. 

 May we/I always remember to seek redemption and never purposely get caught up in harm of or towards the world you bless us with.  

Forgive me for that which I fall short and falter.   

Thank you for all you allow me to be, know and share.

 

Hear the whispers, hear the cries.   Wake us up Lord!    Wake us up…

May we live boldly in awe of you and all you allow us.


And when it is time to let go, may we cling to you tighter than ever before.
