1 Corinthians 10:13 

The Way of Escape

13 We all experience[a] times of testing,[b] which is normal for every human being. But God will be faithful to you. He will screen and filter the severity, nature, and timing of every test or trial you face[c] so that you can bear it. And each test is an opportunity to trust him more, for along with every trial God has provided for you a way of escape[d] that will bring you out of it victoriously.[e]

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

Happy blessed Tuesday after a long weekend for some; me being one having an extra day off in celebration of peace and unity and working together on the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. and his sacrifice to bring awareness that the world is a much better place in harmony then allowing dark and evil to run and ruin us.

Yet, even knowing what good can come out of harmony our world struggles in disarray hate and so many lies filled with hurts, bad habits and even worse hang-ups.

 

Ignorance is bliss; if we turn our head away and pretend, we do not listen; if we walk by and chuckle and pretend, we do not see, hear, or acknowledge what is happening to those who need a helping hand.

Not to be confused with hustlers out there that stalk and prey on kindness and find it easier to consume what they do not work for than to feel good about themselves and have a legacy that lasts an eternity for all those they are blessed before and after with.

We all get to choose to try and be our best selves and be good humans and selflessly try to contribute something to the planet for the future of the littles that will one day have to survive in this vapor.

That does not mean leaving them abundance of material things; although that helps when it comes to barter and trade that will be needed at some point.   But teaching them skill, teaching them boundaries, teaching them love.

Allowing them to see love firsthand and don’t get it mixed with physical activity of lust and sex that many give away all they are for thinking it is love.

Not knowing the difference between real love and just giving yourself away thinking that it will last.  Well in some cases I am sure you will think your life is over and you are in the pit of hell because you cannot take back what you give away.

Love from the soul, the very being that allows you to breathe and choose.   The choices of making your best decisions to be part of something bigger even when your goal is to have the best you can be, do, see, or have.  You never forget who you belong to, who your maker is.

This is my puzzle with the many pieces of me that flow out sometimes daily sometimes here and there.    Get your own if you want to analyze, criticize, monetize scrutinize anything ize.   Do it on your own abilities?   The world is full of judgment and every one of us are guilty of judging others for our own personal moments of making us feel better of taking our short falls off ourselves and pointing to others or just without thinking it being part of who we are.

In the end there is only one judge that matters and if we spend our days chasing what everyone else is doing to cast judgment or even sell ourselves short because we are constantly spinning in judgement and doubt against our very own beings.   We lose precious life that can never be replaced.

 

We all get to choose every day we are given and allowed back up.  No hidden secrets, no mighty schemes or plans just precious life given by the maker of all the heavens and earth.    Not politics, not what you are wearing, not famous record label signings or lifetime expenses of college degrees where you are forever overqualified to have a job that pays for the debt you went in to become someone worthy of the world.

 

Let’s face it; we will all be a hero to someone, loved by someone, and just as hated or picked apart and discarded both someone else.

The battle is spiritual as the war has already been one.  And as long as the negative can control you its winning and robbing you of the simplistic beauty in everything around you.

Having great things, a fat bank account and to do whatever you want to do is a blessing.   But is also a curse if you allow it to dictate who you are.

We are not what we do.  We are not the words and pieces tapped out from all the yesterday’s gone by.      We are the future, and our lights must shine towards the Father, Son of Man and Holy Spirit for all that is good, all that is pure and all that is forgiving.

 

Forgiving ourselves, forgiving anyone and everyone who has marked us. Or we have marked seeking forgiveness.    Never to forget where we have come from.  But never forgetting the promise of Gods blood that poured out on that cross so we could acknowledge we are worthy in the eyes of God to live love and be our best selves.

No matter what!    You have been given a new day to get back up fighting forward and making, taking all the opportunities to be your own best or contributing to someone else in need.

Prayers, blessings, and abundant love in and with Christ.  Prayers of healing of all things in need, for me, mine, yours, and all we connect!    Jesus knows what is needed no matter our silent cries or abundant noise made in the spin trying to find who, when, where we are trying to be.

 

Heal us Lord

All the sickness; mind, body, and spirit in you!

1 John 4:20-21

20 Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see? 21 For he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also demonstrate love to others.[a]

Footnotes

  1. 4:21 The real proof of our love for God must always be in how we express love and treat others with dignity and respect, esteeming them in love.

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

Find your peace and purpose in the silence.  Find your way and shine bright ever step of the way.

As it is so easy to say that the thorns of others passing by you or stopping to pick pieces of who you are in this thing called life which is just one big and twisted garden of all sorts of weeds, wildflowers, and beautiful intention.   Well so easy to use the cuts or even the stuck thorns to keep you from breathing, from living from getting back up day to day and just keep fighting forward waving to the rearview and saying hey thanks it was real, it was good but not really good to stick around.

Man I was on a hot streak for a while with Godly triggers of waking in the middle of the night and writing some pretty profound stuff.   We all do it that write as a hobby or career.   I have a few gifted writers blocks in my curio as over the years long before blogging I would journey and share and then life, God, me not sure exactly would just feel the need to stop.

Tired of sharing the real you in pieces where those days you would like to face to face tell those who have served injustice just what you really think or be part of the lining them up and watch God’s wrath wash them clean one final time.

Tired of believing the good in people and learning along the way.  We are not what we do.   Just because a preacher preaches good bad or indifferent does not make him or her a good soul.

Just because and someone is a top performing artist in the Christian music industry does not mean they really are devoted and living life without worldly concerns or issues and even at times wrong doings.

Just because an entertainer has abundance, doesn’t mean they have a good pure life.

Many are trapped in what the let the fans and world who made them idols into the box that holds them.  And because the box pays well their focus became the stardom and shadow of who they connect and not just living life as a the real them.

Hell, we don’t live life as the real you or me somedays.  It doesn’t take fame to figure that out.

Although those are some pretty quick realistic truths to related back in scenarios for many who need a vision.

Life is what we make it and that can be hard, it can be blessed it can be everything or nothing at all!  We can hold on to all the cuts and pokes and prods and bleed out everywhere we go.  Or we can try to find one thing that teaches us something and get back up blow kisses and put that foot one in front of the other.

Forgive me for the blunt analogy however you can be peed off or peed on.  Or you can switch all that frustration, rant, torment, wanting to get even and find the lemon and make some really good lemonade any day of the week.

Trust me when I say if you have nothing or think so; you really have everything!

The journey will be real for every single soul in this world that is allowed to live.  God will defy the odds for many and then others the unexpected and never understood will happen.

Giving a lecture to a bunch of middle school children about obedience and respect and even listening and not talking out of turn which is common you would think; much less the blatant rebels that show up and tell you know, do whatever they can for attention and be disruptive and/or even act out and accidently on purpose throw something and bust an adult in the mouth because they didn’t want to do what they were being asked to do.

Why would they not act that way.  Isn’t that what the majority of adults are showing in the world to be normal.    Lash out, throw temper fits, defy authority, or just defy the reason why you show up somewhere voluntarily anyway not because you are forced to do so.  But if something does not go your way you do whatever you feel because you can!

 

So, what about the kids that act out.  You talk to their parents but because they have no rules unless it impacts their immediate need.  They just make noise.  In the meantime, like a dog that will eventually go down once it draws blood.  Our children are in danger of being consumed by the rabid materialism, entitlement and when I don’t get my own way.  I will just take it from somewhere or someone else anyway.

That may be physically planning out and scheming to do so just to feel that something that’s missing.  Or that may be just mistreating everything in their path including themselves.

Our nation needs so much hope and prayer and God right now.   Yet more and more will fight you over who God is.   They are right God is not alive; in them!  If they are in disbelief and fighting with you over things that we should not even think twice about.

 

God is alive when we have that full relationship with Jesus and invite him to come live within our souls and seek him 24/7 good, bad or any situation.

No, I am no authority, I have just lived life and see, hear, and deal with people, places, and things.

 

We are so quick to judge what we do not understand.  Instead of seeking wisdom and growth and understanding that God's garden is filled with abundance; of everything in every color in every size, every shape, and every scenario.

That child that is fighting what they do not know how to talk about and struggling just to live.  To that child that knows no boundaries and thinks it’s okay to do, say, be whatever they feel like at the time because someone will always bail them out of the trouble, they are in.   Those children with disabilities, misunderstood desires, or forced changes at the hands of demons.

What is our future I wonder?

Mine choosing when to right if or when I am feeling it or just remain silent cause the love in that dream was abruptly overrun by gunman and darkness in the lies and monopolies of the world games people play.

The crushing truth slapping you in the face when you believe so much in those who light up your spirit to find they are more human than what is marketed out to the public.

Forgiveness heals even though we are not meant to ever forget!

Get back up, grow forward, and find your purpose to plant your seeds for a future that is fleeting quickly.

Father God hear the hearts, prayers, cries of those who believe in you.   Hear the need for direction and purpose for any kind of a future in this realm or the next.

Release us for all that binds us, trips us, derails us from you and the study of you, and the want of you Jesus!

Cover families with the blood through the umbrella of those who pray hard and wide for all of their families not just when they want to pick and choose for something that may be gained.

One giant sticky bun with all that chases the sweetness trying to devour our world and all those who are in it.

Sounds so morbid and dark but reality stings.  Yet you Jesus take the sting from death as you took it all the way to the cross.

 

Father the world is gone mad.   Somedays maybe I have as well.   Believing in anything but you; be it person, place, or thing.   I am sorry for that which I have made it or even missing the mark and not responding and what I let slide by.

You are

You will always be

Life eternal worrying not about what was, what is or what will be.  You have it all in your hands already!

Show us the way; show me the way, please.   As, just getting back up and doing better is not an option any longer.  It is everything and nothing but all in, with and because of you.

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]

Read full chapter

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).

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.
