16 But I
will sing of your strength,
in the
morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my
refuge in times of trouble.

The roller coaster ride of life. Yesterday a beautiful very busy day from 6am
to 11pm with so many blessings truly right in front to where if you missed it
you would have to be blind or dead.
Today super busy again and spinning every inch given two
more are waiting on something or someone else.
Then those heart strings getting tugged again with pops going to the
hospital.
Work life balance is great for our own, but the heaviness
when you see those you care about going down for the count really makes it hard
to keep it straight.
I wish we could blink, and everything would be
pre-covid. Sure, life was happening in
ways we don’t wish for. But these past
couple years are really making it hard in general to just live.
Jacked up government, cancel culture, people hating and
joining the hating well I guess that has always been. But the number of great souls just leaving
by the masses due to sudden or long-term illness or worse yet suicide. And those left behind so broken unable to
function for themselves.
These have all come to the forefront while we still see
armies of angles trying to fight for freedom and stop human trafficking, abuse,
hunger.
For a decade or more I wish that only good things
happened and were reported in the news, and amongst ourselves in conversations.
Instead, even at times those with Godly intentions are
caught up pointing out flaws of those who were before them. Or even getting caught up as if they never knew
Jesus at all.
In Christ I am all things even it never matters to the
world we live. No where did he say life
would be easy. In fact, it has always
been full of suffering. Even knowing
this never makes it easier when your elderly mother is crying and worried what
will happen to her husband that we all know is getting near end time in the world
he knows.
But before I get caught up any further in the sadness this
world can reflect. I know obviously how
hard things any given day can be. If
you are feeling down and cannot shake it by getting up and doing healthy things. Get Help!
Never every allow the world we live in to convince you to quit.
Reach out to a counselor, or a bible-based church representative. Or know Help is always available through the
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Recruit Gods army of angels, prayer partners and warriors
to seek prayer. Don’t think you can ignore
the pain and depression that consumes us when that life roller coaster takes a
sudden drop and there is nothing in sight.
I get it. When I
was a teenager life and all that happened to me as a child consumed me and I
tried many times from reckless behavior to even trying to take myself out.
When we look to the world to be validated and find
purpose and it seems no one is ever there and most likely at least not that
will help you grow forward.
Call out to Jesus.
Meet him every day you awake and in your dreams at night.
It does not stop life from happening to, through or
around you. But when you find your true
purpose and not rely on man to validate you.
Even if you cannot explain it to the world and all the critics. Only He can fill us up with hope, through his
mercy and grace.
We Over Me is a mentality learned. It’s not been about me for a long time. Even long before I thought it had to be.
It really is as simple as seeing through Gods eyes and wanting
the love and heart that only Jesus fulfills.
Does it make it easier to be out here on our own? No not always. Lacking a life companion, accountibility
partner, or even that balance of having friends that you get, and they get you without
judgment or expectations.
When seeing to souls yesterday unite even if they don’t
go to church. And thinking how they
both lost their first loves, they are both getting along in time, and both know
the lumps, bumps and care that is needed going forward. And they didn’t run away but they finally said
let’s make this forever in the time we have.
What a beautiful thing to without judgment or worry that grass is
greener on the other side because the world has deep hooks and roots. Well, it is a beautiful thing in my mind’s eye
anyway.
Prayers for all that are going through it. You, me, family, friends, and all those we
may never see but call upon the Lord.
His will and healing be done.
For the good, for the bad, for the reconciliations and for the strength
needed when things come apart. God is not done with us if we are still
here. Don’t quit, don’t give up.
Even if the army across the wall is ten times bigger. Stand tall and know who is on your side. When you cannot get up pray right where you
are.
Turn the music up loud and just drown out all the
darkness. Find those positive shows,
those podcasts, those online educational or services. Find your local outreach or even worship
teams that need help in anything they need playing or doing production or just
hanging.
None of us are out here alone and 1 out of every 5 souls
you connect most likely have been through what you have been or are going. Everyone has a name and story. We all just handle the weight differently trying
to balance or just making it through another day.
I really don’t know what will happen in any given days
given to me or those I am connected.
But I do know who owns all that I am.
What’s funny way back when I use to laugh that I was a
Jesus girl because it was like a repellant to keep those that you need to be protected
from away. Like some kind of repellant
so I never had to worry about players that love to charm their way into those
who are independent but a little insecure thinking they need someone to make
them worthy.
Well lessons well learned Jesus is not anything to be joking
or laughing about. But until you make to the other side of what you’re
going through and stop blaming God on all that goes wrong at the hands, and
mouth of people or even nature running its course. You will never get it.
Instead of cursing, blaming, fighting and being mad at
the universe for everything that does not go your way. Instead of being disrespectful when someone
does not jump up and do for you when you can do for yourself. Be grateful for the seconds you have been
given on any day.
But what do I know?
I get beat down every day and if I let the feelings rise up; man, I
would have quit long back even after I found my way to the light and life.
For now, this tired soul, yes just physically needing to
go sit and look out over the mountains in front of me. Watching the great wide ocean consume
reality and reflect the same God who created this world created all of us and
everything in it.
Sure, sure we were reproduced through our biological mothers
and fathers. But without the creator the
air in these lungs don’t function if He says enough time to go.
And none of us know when that time will be. So, love yourself well, meet Jesus Christ
and love the way God created you to do so.
And love others, even if it means just praying for them.
Thank you, Lord, for this day and all that is up ahead.
For all that was behind. Be with all
those whom I have, I will and am connected to.
Be with those in my family with illness, just going through it or
celebrating new blessings. Be with all
that I love dearly. Be with all your
children, who call you Father. Be with
our leaders and our babies. Light us up
Lord.
