1 Peter 1:15-16 

15 Instead, shape your lives to become like the Holy One who called you. 16 For Scripture says:

“You are to be holy, because I am holy.”[a]

Footnotes

  1. 1:16 See Lev. 11:4419:2. Everything about God is holy. True holiness includes justice, mercy, truth, and righteousness. To be holy is to be absolutely devoted to God in all that we do, demonstrating who he is to the world. Holiness surrounds God’s throne and we are seated with him in heavenly places (Eph. 2:6). The Hebraic concept of holiness is “set apart”; that is, we are a people set apart for God, even as God is “set apart” from all gods. Grace has imbedded holiness into our lives, yet we are to make right choices and to yield to Christ and God’s Word as the Holy Spirit lives in us. Holiness is not merely actions we perform, but what we absorb and manifest as we live our lives in God’s presence. Christ is our holiness (1 Cor. 1:30).

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

The power of music and harmony among the souls that is deep and rich like some great movie on the big screen to just taking us back to places that warm us through and through.  Carried on the notes, sharps, flats, ballads, or crescendos.   Carrying us through the rhythms and beats of life where sometimes the abrupt change when you know you are the better for something to stop or just dive right in and own the fact that God is, God was, God always will be the keeper of your soul no matter what.

Grant it he will not tolerate or allow evil to occur from the hands and hearts of this children without due process of his own justice removing the rotten fruit from the vines and branches.

And mans law will address with the best they have for the here and now in a world where everything is so messed up and people are truly human.

What was is behind us, what is only for today  what will be is yet to be seen.

Choose wisely how you feed your spirit and the demons within.   And yes, we all have our demons of whatever they may be.

No one is exempt from the fight in authenticity and 24/7 being our best self in relation with Christ Jesus and planting seeds for beauty and life to grow.    Instead, we get tied up in what we think will fill us, rescue, or bring that fairytale to life.

Sometimes unknowingly, other times because we have already sold our souls and we now just need to feed the demons.   Other’s life just happen and there we were or here we are.  Spiritual warfare is inevitable if we have called upon the Lord and seek God for all things.

There is no lukewarm; we are either walking with Christ and doing our best others are just walking and the world is driving us to all what is temporal.

Crazy is but insanity is when crazy does.

I am not here to judge I found and own my crazy from long back.   However, I am about keeping it as real as I can.     I generally do not care what anyone does even when its heartbreaking as they are impacting my family or my life.   I will give the shirt off my back until someone makes me a fool, in lies, narcissism or just doing things I cannot stand by and watch that they will not change and destruction and/or death is on their horizon.

The scars that cut those I love are the deepest.   So much talent, so  much beauty, so much harmony lost.  

Why or how I ever get to be connected I will never understand.   

But I also have no time to chase the reasoning.  If the powers of all that is good wants me to dive in or know it will come to life.   Otherwise, it is left in the hands of all that is flowing freely in this universe.

 

We all get to choose our choices matter.   Everything we do, everything we say, everything we act upon will all have a result and it most likely will never be what we plan.

Sad but true that there is not a day that goes by we do not read, see or even participate in things that brings brokenness sometimes even tragic loss.

All I know is if the good Lord of all that shines bright and brings beauty, blessings, harmony and beautiful music even if no one else can hear it; to my life.  I choose to believe in that.  As the Lord knows I have made my share of mistakes and felt the burn of all that is dark from a very young age right up until here and now.

Battlefield of the mind oh its real.   Where there is not a day you don’t want to quit and just roll with it because you get tired.  Or even just tell those that who take advantage or try to plan you how to go step off that short pier over a deep cavern.  That is putting it nicely.   

I don’t know about anyone else, but I get so tired of trolls and lumps that all they want to do is make their life your business and problem.  Instead of getting out there and being their best self and being that good human.  It is always so much easier to have excuses and take, take, take!

Quick way to annoy me and I am the most laid-back soul ever.    Keep crying the blues and making excuses while you sit around doing nothing to make change or work for life for yourself.

I have been made to work since I was 14.  I had to pay rent to live in my own home as a kid.  If I wanted anything I had to work and buy it myself.  Not just clothes or cool stuff.   Food, necessities you name it.

Have I always had a big heart with careless gullibility’s that people have taken their toll taking advantage?  Oh, heck yes!

But life is what it is until its not.   I could have been a statistic so early on; and Yeah, according to the world I am one anyway.   But I am still allowed up to keep trying.

 

I never picked this life.    I won’t carry on making excuses because I didn’t go right or left.   I won’t cry the blues that I work hard and do so much and become paralyzed.   Crying over what was, or what I thought should have been and being justified as such.   Nope.  It is what it is; or was!

I will get back up and do my best to feed my spirit holding onto my soul with God into the light wherever it allows me and mine to grow.

Releasing all that is fake, all that has not come to terms and sought out redemption and revealed truth.

Far from perfection but perfectly placed where I am supposed to be as I know to whom I belong.

 

I may be vexed or harassed even stumble and face plant.  But I will never quit in my belief that I belong to the holy spirit and Christ Jesus, Jehovah God!   As do no matter what everything that has been created through the blood and bone of this being under the umbrella of God’s love.

He will redeem all who have been harmed by the darkness in this world.  Even if we here and now do not get to see it firsthand.

So, the twists and turns on this ride of my life.  May I and every soul I am connected be continually blessed in life and truth.    That truth will call for biblical armor and being filled 24/7 with all that is positive and worth growing.

 

My thoughts in this maze firing all over the place.  Weary downright tired, needing change, blessed beyond all imagination yet still going through it some days like any other soul.

Could be better, could be worse.  Beyond grateful and blessed to know life!

#LetItGo#LetItHurt#LetItHeal.    People are people no matter who they pretend to be.  It will never matter what title they carry or what is in their bank accounts.    Choose wisely what you want to believe in.  And when you do realize you cannot take anything in this temporal world with you.  Love people for who they really are and not what they have or can do.   Let them live life and live your own as authentic as you can while you find the waves of harmony and add your song into the mix.   

 

We are created for so much more than just what the world says.  Christ died so we could live and we through the father have created in His image.

Ephesians 5:1-2

Living in God’s Love

Be imitators of God in everything you do,[a] for then you will represent your Father as his beloved sons and daughters. And continue to walk surrendered to the extravagant love of Christ, for he surrendered his life as a sacrifice for us. His great love for us was pleasing to God, like an aroma of adoration—a sweet healing fragrance.[b]

Footnotes

5:1 The Greek word mimetes frequently depicts an actor playing a role. God wants us to mimic him and be filled with his thoughts, his love, his deeds, and his character.

5:2 The Aramaic word for “fragrance” can also be translated “healing balm.”

Keep me Father!

Your spirit and all the good it breathes to life no matter what was, what was, or what will be.

To be first we must be last.   To learn it really is not about me.  What a journey that I would not change for the anything.  As it has given me the handgrips to get back up.  Even in the most painful days.

As I often wonder when that day will be, in which I cannot move and get back up.  Not just for a minute, a day, a month, a year.

Somehow, I am able to acknowledge you through your creation in nature, in song, in people.  

Reminded we are not promised a day much less a tomorrow.  Even when it hurts to see those spirits beating all odds suddenly taken home.

Be it illness, wrong choices, accidents, or the hands of others.   As long as we are still here and allowed back up.  We get to choose to shine anywhere and everywhere we go in just being kind and loving.

That we do not take others personal even if they are launching an attack on us for their own selfish ambitions or unattended hurts that seep out unto the world.

Sometimes I have to run to the quiet even shutting down and making the music stop.  But yet every perfect harmony and dancing beat is what allows life to flow through this soul.

Mankind your creation Jesus may have the moments that allow pure pleasure on high and low notes, but it is your blessing and sacrifice that allow us to be here to do so at all.

If only we could learn to be real, playing together with no expectations but that of watching some rolling hills populate beauty and life each string that is played out.

The thumps and bumps of life like that bass or kick that brings bounty if we allow the rhythms to absorb all the good.   All the while like the feedback of hate that squeals louder than any other misplaced wire or performer standing too close to live mics.

Life is not a game although so many are pawns like in a game of chess.  Life is not a performance although we in the world are doing whatever it takes to get our 15seconds or 15minutes or 15 years of fame.   In the end selling our souls and become the demons that try to consume us as we suffer alone when we do not know you Jesus.

Even when we do grow weary at times for the battle is so real.  

Nothing happens in this life that you have not already seen or even allowed to go through your hands God.  I know I will never understand a speck of it.

Yet here I am another day given with letters, words, actions filling the direction of any and all opportunities that come my way this new day.  To grasp, to run from to always acknowledge you Father.   As without you I am nothing and there are none.

Many will never get that as they still just go through the motions making the best of it as they know how.   Some filled with hate and hurt, others filling up with this and that or others; yet the void is just as empty as it the day first noticed.

I am no different, I have just been blessed with the realness of you.  My cravings may leave my desires hidden but I want not!    That abundance in love with love for love that pours through these veins still crave what it would be in truth like to know from the outside in for eternity and not just pretense or temporal pleasures.

Maybe someday to know; maybe not.  Yet, while I wait always knowing I have you.

Be with us all Jesus

May your voice echo through the atmosphere so all will hear you even just once.

May we turn to your beauty, your peace, your willingness to dare to be something more than our selves or what the world later is counted as loss.

Thank you for the beautiful lights that have been on my journey and the souls that feed me even still today.   Thank you for never giving up on me and most importantly this moment. Thank you for allowing me to learn who I am in your eyes.

What If by Matthew West [Lyric Video]

Matthew West- Truth Be Told (Lyrics)

Matthew West - Do Something

 

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Thank you, Lord, for all the courage, strength, and air in these lungs to get back up and keep trying to do whatever it is, every day given.

I wish I could say life really was like a box of chocolates never knowing what you are going to get when your reach for something and then be like Forrest Gump and sit back joyfully savoring the sweetness that is pulled out no matter what the surprise.

However, reality and the vast universe we are given to absorb pieces of or be absorbed does whatever it does best.

That could be something beautiful or devastating.

I wish I could say my heart stopped aching as soon as I knew I made it into 2022.   However, it just skipped a few beats allowed me to get up and move and then reminded me how we are not promised anything and if we really want something worthwhile.   We really need just work for it and not depend on or ride on the wings of others.

I received a call from a dear friend for prayer yesterday as this family is being pounded over the past several months.   Where they almost lost a daughter in a law to Covid who had to have emergency surgery to deliver their unborn baby at 35 weeks then for months mamma lived in ICU not knowing a thing that was going on in the world.    God showed favor and both baby and mom are doing great at home or as great as anyone recovering from Covid can.

But now yesterday receiving that hysterically crying saying I need you to help me I need prayer I need everyone praying.     My nephew collapsed and the prognosis is he will not make it.

Sweet Gregory 28 years old and was not supposed to live past age 5 due to disabilities.   Showed the world it does not matter what you look like or what is wrong.  When you want something and work for it.   God shows favor when you believe.       It has been years that his seizures stopped, and he worked, he rode his bike everywhere to and from work and meeting people leaving his mark.    Yesterday unfortunately he had a stroke and brain bleed, and the prognosis has not be ended; but it is not good.   

    He blessed so many in this vast universe and oh how I wish we could pick and choose and like the day many years ago I was readying for major heart stuff.   Telling God let me just do this or that and get everything ready for those that will be left behind.   It will make sense that way and although it won’t stop the pain of the loss, they will have a better chance moving forward.

 

If only we could pick or choose when we get to go and say our goodbyes.   Allow the family to hug and love on him one more time and see that huge smile he always had.    Because even now if he wakes up, he will never be the same.

My heart aches that beauty such as this is so bittersweet to know he had more than what they said he would, but never enough and is down for the count so young.

 

The blessings and curses of knowing such beautiful souls to seen taken away so very young.   No more than the travesty of such beautiful landscape is destroyed by man or waste and disregard or disrespect of harmony, and all Gods vast blessings are disregard and later cried over when the world is shook up by things, we no longer can make a difference to control.

 

Yes, control is an illusion I had that figured out a long time ago.  Even in the most dire situations our plans are not that of the Father.  And the sooner we give it all over to him we are filled with that abundance that allows us to get through each day.

Feeling a little Matthew West today as I heard What If, just about the truth being told.  Not to mention this pandemic and quarantine is making everyone feel it as they grow through as much as they can.

Same here, blessed to be a line of prayer defense even though I am far from worthy to talk to that man upstairs.  I have faith he hears all our hearts, words, cries 24/7.

Life is too short to get caught up and too many riches and beauty of life are being robbed from us left and right, north to south.        All those things you want to change have faith and do it. 

Something that stuck with me all my life it seems is your poor planning or mine is not my or someone else’s fire drill to fix.   Its not my problem, its not for me or you to enable bad behavior or allow others to get that free ride because they are really good a talking the talk and never walking the morally valuable walk.

 

Don’t get it twisted thinking I am not about helping those in need, those who have been trying and giving it all they got but just cannot get over the hurdles.   Verses those that are lying, conman or women.  Really good at telling a story that you believe so you can feed their demons.

 

I have seen and lived both sides of that coin.     I have helped those that truly needed it and were beyond grateful then I have helped those who were really great players against the game of life.  Although they think they were the king and queen chessman because they seemed to be winning for the moment.  Yet in the end everyone losses. 

I pray we can all start with you Jesus on level playing ground going forward.  That we all acknowledge you took our every sin and poured life out to the earth so we could become flesh from the dust the earth moaned forward.

Thank you for all you are.   Be with all that I am.  Be with all those in need of comfort and healing.   Heal this land, stop the suffering for those whom you call chosen.

Light up the path for those needing to see, hear and acknowledge you.  Yesterday, today and any future days ahead.

Turn that page and here we are because you Jesus allow air in our lungs, blood flowing and pumping through the veins and up to choose what we will do with the blessings of this day and all the opportunities within the time we will have.

Thank you!

May we exceed uncertainty and find, be and create the light for all the unknown.

May we embrace all the possibilities and never ever shun anyone for their own creative thoughts, words or actions that bring life.

May we earn and learn what independence means in and with you Father God, Son of man Christ Jesus.

And anywhere we cannot, may we know what it means in humiliation to be humble.  Remembering the blood that poured out on the cross flowing freely to not only wash your chosen clean, but to flow into victory of abundance in love, in harmony, in peace.  That only You Jehovah will and can ever give everlasting.

Though they help, no devotional, no poetry, no song, will ever do without the deep entrusted relationship between you Jesus and mankind.  Willingly among the riches of life even as we miss it. 

As not everything in this world that shines is golden or good.    May we find your spirit within our own for all that is created and the greater good.    May we fight hard and steadfast to grow forward and never ever forget where we have been; but always leave the life of the rearview for new horizons up ahead.

Your will Jesus was to obey and give all you are to the Father in heaven.    May we come to know the strength, courage, love, and peace because of you we are allowed.

Titus 2:11-12

God’s Grace, Our Motivation

11 God’s marvelous grace[a] has manifested in person, bringing salvation for everyone.[b] 12 This same grace teaches us how to live each day as we turn our backs on ungodliness and indulgent lifestyles,[c] and it equips us to live self-controlled, upright, godly lives in this present age.[d]

Read full chapter

Footnotes

2:11 Grace extends God’s kindness and love to us every moment and makes us “worthy” of his acceptance. Grace is unconditional, unmerited, indescribable favor from God.

2:11 That is, grace has revealed a salvation available for everyone. Or “God’s marvelous grace has appeared to all, bringing salvation.”

2:12 The Greek word for “ungodliness” is singular, while the word for “indulgent lifestyles” is plural. This has led some scholars to believe that we are to turn our backs on both the root principle of ungodliness and the specific acts that result from ungodliness.

2:12 These three adjectives—“self-controlled,” “upright,” and “godly”—refer to our behavior, our behavior toward others and toward God.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

As I start this year reading through the wonderful gift of a new book. “The Red Tent” by “Anita Diamant”   PICADOR a novel that was a New York bestseller and glimpse into life of the women of the Bible like no view has always seen.

An amazing feat like no other as is that of women in this century.     Slavery, pain, beauty, and purpose.    With so many lost along or losing along the way and steps in the journey they take daily.

Happy New Year, happy blessed 2022 to all or any who follows me and shared moments through Pieces Of Me Over Time.

 

Blessed we made it out of 2021 and up again thankfully so to the one that gives breath in the lungs we breathe deep and slowly exhale or panic filled with any anxieties at the spirits of what we do not understand; Yet!

Our choices are our own without a doubt.   We can choose to feed the demons of darkness that rob us from life and time that we can never get back.  Or we can feed the spirits of light while purposing to all that is good.    Being that flicker of light even when it seems no one sees.

 

Life could be so far worse; life could be so much better.   We may never know.  But what we should acknowledge is life is what it is until it is not.   Life is what we purpose to enhance it to be.    So be it we make mistakes that add things that should not be.   Harder times to work instead of leaving us moments to reveal smarter ways. 

Sometimes brokenness of others, sometimes brokenness of our own being.    But all times blessed that we are allowed back up to make a choice in our freedom of will and choice.  Even if, even when!

As a mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, mother to biologicals, mother to spirituals.    Friend of all and lover of God.   A journey that by rights should not have been but allowed to be so.

No one deserves anything on this earth.  When we figure out, we over me, or its not about me and the Me’ism that feed our selfishness.    

Although in the world we live and all that it teaches we are too be something famous and collector of things that will at some point be discarded for others to pick through if they do not break in to take along the way.

So, little I still know about the balance and holding on to all that is been granted and good all the while fighting the demons that come for rescue all the while they pretend to be all they will never be.

 

What will this year be?  Whatever Jesus breathes life into or allows.    Prayerfully my bloodline will suffer not.   My friends and connections will be blessed in peace and promise to prosper, heal, and continue to grow forward.

 

Letting go of what does not grow forward and planting good wherever steps may lead.

Perfectly placed any days we are allowed back up.   Perfectly blessed when taken home to be with the creator.

Life in and with Christ be it circled up which is a blessing when love is shared.  Or alone within whatever the creator allows.

Strength, courage, and great peace in Jesus Christ… may God allow the blessing for me and all I ever connect.   Learning the balance of when to hold on, when to let go and never being stuck in between.

Thankfully blessed beyond purpose, reason and deserving.    Life is because we have been granted it to be so.    Just as the starts are placed, we are.    Never doubt your worth or promise and when unsure ask Jesus to join you in the journey and lessons of what is to be.

Love, mercy, and abundant grace.  Get up and own who you are.
