Matthew 24:35 (EXB - EXPANDED BIBLE)

35 ·Earth and sky will be destroyed [T Heaven and earth will pass away], but the words I have said will never ·be destroyed [pass away].

 

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Rest if you must, cry, scream or throw that temper fit when you are knocked off your feet by accident or purposely by those you put your heart into.    But whatever you do in the end; brush off and get back up!

 

There is nothing in this world that is not temporal or replaceable.  No, you will not find the exact same flavor, color, shape or even feel the same once you have had to do this.   But you will be stronger, more wise and someone will need your strength somewhere in your journey.

Hard to hear, hard to swallow even more so hard to do.      When your part of the collateral damage that flies around and breaks pieces of us off.   By accident or on purpose at the hands of anyone.     Just never go down without a fight and do not surrender to anything but the God who created you and gives your life the breath you exhale.

Sometimes things just happen, and we will never deserve it, and we will never understand it.    But never quit chasing your dream and goal of who you were meant to be because of anything or anyone else.   Always dare yourself to fight harder, and fight forward in love, in strength.  You are worth more than anything this world will give or take.    You are necessary and beyond loved. 

No matter who shows up.

No matter what the world says you should be.

No matter where you took at hit in the wrong place wrong time or wrong choice.

You are and always will be a beloved creation and beauty from the depths of your soul from the same creator that hangs the moon earth and all the planets and stars.

 

No matter who needs to know this today.  It is the truth!

Life is harsh, we get knocked down, kicked around, and played a fool all around this giant game of life chess all day every day.     You have already won, no matter what the world or anyone.  Family, friends, unknowns.    You have been given this new day show the world you are not done.

Lord for all the lost who have damaged, destroyed, and broken so many in their path leaving scars that will change them forever.     Heal them and let them know you.   Judgement is yours Father God.   No matter what, no matter when.    It is true when the darkness cannot get to your chosen, it goes after the heart strings.    Sometimes it wins in the moment robbing precious life, robbing precious abilities.   But never will it win eternally.  

 

Heal my blood, heal my friends, heal those I am connected in need.   Protect and guide those who think they have it all figured out yet cannot step up and keep it real any moment of any day they are given.     You word, your will.     Remove the rotten fruit that spawns the hate, the self-destruction, or anything shadowing all that is good and grows in life and light.

Guard my heart Lord as the first thing I want to do when it comes to my family and friends is help the resolve.    If I spend all my days doing so, I am back to before I met you.  Filled with hate and anger and no better than those who serve the injustices against the unsuspecting.

Thank you for this day and as I have no doubt things could be so much worse for so many, including anything negative in this journey.   You are in control.  Thank you for allowing me up to swim my best upstream stroke possible.    No matter what or when the storms of life will come.  And they will, be it by wrong place, wrong time, wrong choice.   Or just a season!   You are in control Jesus.  

Here and now, lead all that I am.  Lead all I know.  Most importantly, Thank you!

Isiah 9:6    For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.  And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Zechariah 9:9 NKJV “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem!  Behold, your King is coming to you; He is just and having salvation, lowly and riding on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.”

Romans 8:15-16  For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.  And by him we cry, “Abba Father.”  The Spirit himself testifies with that  we are God’s Children.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you, Lord, for this new day and thank you for this day of overdue rest. 

 

Happy blessed Monday, July 5th here in my here and now.   Prayers and blessings that you have found peace and rest and whatever fun you choose to celebrate this U.S. holiday weekend.     I did nothing but slept in.  Then got up early this day to carry my laundry off to a laundry mat because my 13month old washer has been down waiting for the technicians to make it to my house.

 

I have to say since the pandemic so many who have had trades that keep the world going just are not available anymore.    They either advertise they have a business and just never call back when you try to reach them or like a doctor’s appointment you have wait weeks to get someone to come fix something.

 

So, depressing that they do not make anything to last yet over charge you and then things have something go wrong a month outside the warranty.

Yes Tasha: it is going to be okay through all that out of our control to prevent or even that which we just mess up and make our own messes.  Although I hate taking my dirty laundry out of my home; it could be so much worse.

As I think about the news, I received this morning when my granddaughter was watching fireworks last night some mean drunk thrown out of the place where she was watching fireworks.    Not only trashed her car but drove down the road and wrecked and I am not real sure if anyone that got hurt.   But she is devastated.

 

A kid who has been working her way through high school and college two, three jobs just bought her car and was enjoying the moment of the world while on summer break from classes.

I wish I could protect her and all our kids from such stupid unnecessary damage that will change her and so many for life.     But the truth is the world and all of us in are really jacked up at times.

Sad but true just being in the wrong place at the wrong time.   So many that are feeling the heaviness of this world are drinking too much, drugging too much, and taking all their hurt and pain out around anything and anyone that walks in their path.

We all have growing pains there is no doubt; some of us and I have lost some really beautiful souls in this world that could only get by if the medicated themselves and when they finally figured out, they did not need it.  The damage was already too late to reverse.

 

You say Lord we are enough, and I know even somedays knowing how much I believe and love I too struggle with what is the point or purpose when it seems we try our best, but we cannot see the seeds we pay forward in planting even start to grow.

Today I am a little off.  I think it is from that deep tissue medical massage I took on Friday I didn’t drink enough water yet to flush my system.  So, it is very easy for me to ripple the down flowing spirit to come out in truth.

 

God truly only knows what we are going through or have been through be it in feelings over what we work hard for, and others take from us or just how at times we cannot find who we really are in this world, and we get caught up trying to be what everyone in the world says we should be.

Building that image and letting others manage who we are and saying we want something different but never doing anything to change and make it happen.

 

One thing is for sure if we truly rely on the image that the world creates us to be than its all one big act and the curtain eventually will fall and there will be nothing on the other side.

 

We are not what we own, what we acquire, what we do!    We are not what we look like on the outside we are created with a greater purpose and meant to love and be loved.

I guess from experience what that really means in truth; God only knows as well.

 

Easy to get downtrodden and want to give up when we loss 20 steps falling behind at the hands of others and losing them or losing what we have worked so hard to come forward.    So hard to keep getting back up and do that new thing or at times even peak open the curtain to see what it could be.

I pray be it for me and the funk of feeling something is really missing and just having a hard time getting back in my rhythm working out and meeting that personal goal I have had in my minds-eye.   To the let down of fooling myself and believing too much and having some sub conscious expectation different outcomes will really come to life.    All the while I know its not my place to worry or even get caught up.   It belongs to the same God who allowed us to come to this world as when or if he will heal any of us for anything going on.  Or when he will let life transpire further or the day comes, we have to pay up for all we ignored or thought we  had in control.

 

I am not sure where I am going, I will always remember where I have been.   Doing my best to never expect anything even if I wish things were different for so many.      And even on the days that I do too much, and I am reminded I am not that 20-year-old that can bulldoze my way through getting things done and if I fall and it hurts, I just get back up and brush off and start again.

I am weary being the padding and the cushion.    Tired of hearing stories I am to believe and seeing something else.     Tired of the good and innocent of this world getting steam rolled over and although knowing I made it okay even when it hurt.     What is meant to be will.

 

Life is not a performance!   It may seem that way for so many but when we say we are Children of God and in a place to do good for anyone and everyone that truly needs it.  We should never be worried about putting on a show.      Yet no matter how good a person we are in many situations we just cannot get away from it. 

I believe whatever is going on with me will get worked out with the man upstairs.    I serve a God of the universe and although I don’t get some of the unspoken layers that seem to have me twisted lately.    I know when he says move.  I move when he puts up the detours and roadblocks I listen and take them.

 

I don’t like political agenda’s and I will be the first to say I have a hard time being told what to do or handling disrespect from anyone one in any situation.      I am not perfect in fact I have so many flaws I am sure I would make a great connect the dots activity.     But I am beyond blessed and I know everything, and everyone connected to me is as well.   Even in the hard times, even when it hurts, I will still call you out Jesus and praise you.  Because you know firsthand what pain and sorrow really is.

 

So even when I or anyone in my family, anyone of my friends or anyone I am blessed to connect no matter what.   I you Lord are the maker of all things and will see us through making what is taken away so much better.  

I cannot explain it, as I am blessed beyond deserving.   Yet I get tired at the hands and feet of my choices for or from others.     I am waiting, I cannot do this life on my own, yet I will never settle again.   No matter what!     Heal and turn lives around Jesus.   That is your calling and if mine is to serve somehow some way.  Then show up and show me how.

Until then thank you for the news that could have been so much worse, for the early mornings taking my laundry out for the world to see.    Or watching it come to life from so many I know.

Wash it and all of us clean Jesus.   Let the curtain fall and reveal the truth and lead the way for your movement and stop the madness and all that man does.   Stop the madness I create myself by getting caught up or just being that gullible believing soul.

 

No matter what thank you for loving us and giving us life and freedom of choice and will through it all.     May we find our way to glow and grow forward even when it is becoming dark.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you, Lord, for a life in a free country; despite what is or is not what we think it should be.  I live in a free country that allows us freedom of life, freedom of choice, freedom of speech. Where we get to choose how we will act or react to any given circumstance.

 

Thank you for allowing me life changing events on this day and the opportunity that I have been given to get back up again this morning.

 

Prayers be with all the countries ruled by dictatorship that are not allowed anything, especially the mention of your name.

We do not get to choose where we are born into; but we get to choose to be grateful for all we are given wherever we are.

No matter what our choices lead us into.  We are responsible to own and work towards planting the seeds of life for anyone that comes up behind us.    So, if we do not like things in our life if we do not like where we are or what we are doing.  Even in a non-free country.  We get the blessing of freedom of will and choice to change our hearts and change our minds.

 

Sometimes we have to cut those we love the most free to feel that deep joy down in our souls.  Feel it for more than five seconds or any amount of time.   But to feel it grow in faith and forward. 

If you do not know who God really is just know as long as you are given a new day to get up and exhale.   You still have the opportunity to meet his son Jesus right where you are.

Tap in to your no agenda believing friends.  Tap into podcasts, find a bible-based church and ask the questions. Read, listen, look find his beauty and creation in all things.

  Tap into music that grows harmony and moves you through the vibes of each day.    No we  do not need a church building to be a Christ follower but we absolutely become smarter, stronger and filled with more promise of life when we surround ourselves with the hands and feet of God when we come together to serve and give even the smallest abilities and talents for the growth of the kingdom of Christ.

I don’t ever want to lose the feeling of hope I have been given.   Even on my dark days and yes sometimes they come more often than not.

Be it health of anyone I am connected.

Lies from anyone I give all I am to trust.

Lack of respect.    Hurts you more than it hurts me.  Yet lack of trust from all we believed in that failed or fell apart with layers those walls up.

 

Jesus heal and break all the walls of love within you and all I am connected down forever.   Heal this land.  

May we want no more all that is temporal.

May we acknowledge in gratitude and paying I forward all the blessings just to be alive each day.

We need your love Jesus.   I need your everything.  Restore all that I am in this battle of wills and infinite spiritual war that you have already won so long ago.

Show us our purpose reflecting all you came, created, suffered, died, and came back to be.   Live within us and teach us gratitude in every nation every tribe.

 

We are all one in you Jesus.   May the madness stop, and we come together and be more like you.   May I be less like me.   Needing patience and new hope in humanity and reason why we do the things we do or even grasp tighter in courage with you!

 

Thank you for the lessons, blessings; show me Father what is it I should see and be part of.

But even if you don’t may, I never lose grip of your love that is deep within of me.
