 Date: Thursday March 17^th   Happy St. Patrick’s Day

 

Some fun facts… I am sure there is more maybe all true maybe just a myth but thing is when you grow up Irish getting where Nannie grabs both cheeks to talk to you and you are taken to the traditional parade every year and yes the celebrations.   Well, you believe in the blessings and maybe even chase the rainbow for that pot of gold.

 

You need not be Irish for this one!

 

Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day.

Irish Blessing

 

Saint Patrick’s Day | History, Traditions, & Facts | Britannica

St. Patrick’s Day, feast day (March 17) of St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He escaped but returned about 432 CE to convert the Irish to Christianity. By the time of his death on March 17, 461, he had established monasteries, churches, and schools. Many legends grew up around him—for example, that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and used the shamrock to explain the Trinity. Ireland came to celebrate his day with religious services and feasts. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated on Thursday, March 17, 2022.

Psalm 23:1-3 MSG

^1-3 God, my shepherd!
    I don’t need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
    you find me quiet pools to drink from.
True to your word,
    you let me catch my breath
    and send me in the right direction.

“People of the Promise Land” “Letters Of Hope from Revelations”  @We Over Me @Whitney Capps  “God promised to make Abraham into a mighty nation.  Like every promise God makes, He kept it. From Abrahams line came the nation of Israel, God’s chosen people.  They were set apart by Him and for Him.  God’s chosen people would dwell in God’s chosen place, the promise land.”

 

From the seven churches  Laodicea through Sardis to right here and right now.  God’s tender plea has always been for us.    Jesus made it personal and sealed it with God’s love.

“if anyone hears my voice …I will come to him… he with me.”  While Jesus wanted the church to change, it’s the individual who must respond.” !!!

“Jesus doesn’t call us to the carpet to trash us; He does it because He loves us.”

He did not go to the cross because it was fun.  “He gave it all for us to live.”

 

So somewhere over that magical rainbow and all that Irish luck even through the atrocities of this world that we never will understand the streets of gold are not in that pot filled with coins or little cute or not so leprechauns.     Its all right here and now in the relationship you build with Christ Jesus.

That is the great news not just good.   Be it looking back to all the situations you have ever made it out of and wiped your brow trying to understand how you did.    Good bad or indifferent.  Give thanks and be the light that even flickers a little hope for anyone you connect in passing or are blessed to have in your life. 

If the good Lord allowed, you back up yes, we need to be grateful.  No matter what we ignore and want more or complain about here in now.  There are so many others that more strength and faith that never know when they won’t have that chance again.   Yet they take every breath and fight forward getting back up and shine in the strength and courage of God’s angel army.

 

Things are hard, things have changed, man have they ever.    Will it get worse I am sure and are we all impacted.   Yeah… just like the pandemic and the unseen virus that did more than bring a unity that no one will ever get to busy to forget about.    The war is real, physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Light it up with the good news and declare victory over all that is wrong through the name and blood of Jesus.

Meet him daily.   We all believe in something.    I believe in love!  I believe in Jesus and all he is over every drop of life he poured out he is exactly that.

If only I could recognize and feel that love from the outside in as it sours deep in my soul pouring out wanting more.    For you, for me.  In a world that we will never really grasp until eternity arrives.     All we can do is just breathe as much life while we learn and keep wanting to grow more and more forward.

Adoring those that bring us that skip in our heartbeat or step.   Appreciating all that was, all that will be knowing to whom we were created and to who we belong.    Just call His name…Jesus!

It will be alright even when it is not.  Don’t quit.   Dig in fight forward recognize and ask God to show you His will because you either allow Him in and for you or cry more later when its too late and you cannot make it through the pain or what is yet to come.

 

We are all broken pieces to this life puzzle.   But sometimes in the putting back together we become something more beautiful especially when we are unified with purpose sharing mercy and grace that is poured out for each one of the souls that walk this earth.

When did it get so real?  Always has been in my lifetime however it took me 32 years to realize what truth was.    We all get there in our own time.   I pray we all get there now because time is running out.    The devil is a liar, and he has consumed his prey and the demons that are unleashing all the death and sorrow on innocence will spread like wildfires before the rains and white horses come.

 

Live your best life now and call upon Jesus’ name to dwell within you.   Don’t be just another good person that stands up and fights for humanity.    Fill your soul with Gods love and promises.    Even when it hurts know the strength, he gives you and know where it comes from.    Put the armor of God on now before it is too late.

It does not make you any better or worse, but it seals your peace and life eternally.  And along the way while we are here fills you up with abundant unspeakable underserved blessings when we are not being pounded on by the devil.   

If you are not in a wave, you are coming out of one being pounded on by stuff.   If your out of one there will always be something or someone else around the corner waiting to drag you into the misery likes company.   Trying to break apart your family, trying to make you think everything you have lost stops you from living or even that of lasting suffering even if it seems that way.    Give it all to Jesus.   Let Him in truth every breath you have give you strength.    Let him fight with you in prayer in hope in all the mercy, grace, courage and Love.

Well, it’s a late day for me and my head hurts from all the stuff I am doing for the choice I made and career I am riding.    So, I am blessed to know he still had more to be shared.   And I pray if for nothing else you rise up and be your best self no matter who, no matter what.   And never stop loving yourself, never stop loving those you have been blessed with.  And as they leave because whatever the reason makes it there time up with you on your journey.   That you keep on living and take the lessons and the blessings and shine so bright teaching and lending those behind you hope for tomorrow.

 

Much love, peace, and gratitude now and always.   God be with all of us, and his son Christ Jesus consume all we are for the greater good.

May you forever and beyond know who you belong to and own the blessings you are created to live and be.

^12-14 So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

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

Wake up and give thanks; God is not done with you yet.  You are loved, you have purpose.  Know the choices you make impact how you Are staying blessed, Staying healthy and allowing your light to shine for others around you to continue to grow.

Keep growing forward…  my waking thoughts out loud https://youtu.be/yucbDO9XnMk

 

Allot of people can have impacts on our everyday choices and we can impact everyone and everything we connect, pass by, or become deeply engaged with.   It is no one else’s fault for the actions we take.    Life or Death, good or bad.   We are responsible for the choices in words, actions, and deeds daily.

Sure, sometimes we are handed a bad hand in the card game of life or the lemons we are given to make something tasty and worth while are so rotten all we have is the bitter taste left behind.   But we get to choose in the moments, seconds we are allowed to spin, crash, and burn or find a different direction of opportunity to continue growing forward.

No, I don’t see the world through rose colored glasses.  In fact, I wish I could.  If anything, I am a magnet directly to the real world and all the sad broken pieces in people, places and things.   Often missing my own opportunity to seize the seconds in God’s beauty be it nature, people, music, things. 

I work too much, spend too much time wondering if family will be okay.   And absolutely let too much of the world overshadow and rob so many good blessings of day to day or awesome opportunities I have been given, taken, or made that have left ever lasting memories into this soul to take with me when I get to the other side.  Which I know I will compare when I get back up the awesomeness of eternity to what I thought was beyond; beyond!

I am always me and very human… 😊

Anyway, it is what it is until it is not.   And though I can only share based on my life experience I do know this.  We are never alone.  What you may be facing someone else has been through or others are going through so much far worse and when we get to the other side of what is eating us up, we realize just how we should have redirected our faith and purpose for any given day allowed back up to redirect and put the fire into something useful and create beauty out of the ashes that we think we have.

 

This is me, my mind maze, and thoughts so I get it if you do not agree or are just so low you cannot see the hand of God waiting to pull you up to look out over all that can be.

Life is unfair.   Trust me when you have a class of fifth graders comparing whose life is worse because their daddy died, or parents don’t want them, or they cannot remember what their parents look like because they are in and out of jail because they are heroin addicts, and they live in foster care.    You know that the broken pieces life took from you as a child are insignificant if wasted to not give back and be the strength, laughter, goofiness, or anything else to distract what was to grow forward into what could be.

 

I could give a thousand reasons why this world hurts and we all have our own some alike some different.     Recently losing pops knowing he lived a great giving live as a fireman, EMT to serve and help others all his life and in the end would not help himself.   To remember my grandmother died when catching her bathrobe on fire cooking for my aunt and a couple months later my aunt who jumped up to help put her out burned 90% of her body died as well leaving behind a 4-year-old and 2-week-old.       Close as a kid yeah… but the pain of me not visiting or having someone to care for me compared to two cousins growing up with out parents had more lasting scars.    The fact of all the wolves out there ready to pounce be it the talkers’ given ideas to the real demons or those who just watch not stepping up in anyway but to participate in darkness.

Allot can happen as my life changed as it was supposed back then and even now.

Every day is not promised and is or should be considered a gift.    If we all could find our strength and courage in unity as I’ll say it Ukraine has done in all their uncertainty at the hands of a psychotic dictator that most likely had his own hurts, habits and hang-ups morphed into something more sinister to take out on humanity because the lack of his own.

Who knows why someone could be so evil and harm and destroy so much in humanity?  Besides God and he allows freedom of will run its course.

Thus, leaving us all in the bubble of what is yet to be.

My heart hurts all the while faith restored that somewhere there is purpose for the pain we grow through.  Each day we are allowed back up.   From the unity and spirit to not quit and fight for freedom of something more, something better something that shines so bright whoever is around us can grow from.    Be it third world wars or individual battles within our own beings.

I would say I wish I knew the outcome.   I don’t want to see what is on its way.  I just need to remember God sent His only son to teach us, to die for us so we could have life everlasting.    His promise, His pain, His purpose should always be the driving force to allow us back up.   More importantly our relationship with him to lock in our destiny no matter how the here and now world looks should be a daily priority.    I know how starved I feel if I ignore my daily communications and time with God.     I know how much peace there is when I remember whose I am, and nothing is wasted.

Watching each day and those I care for and even allowing myself to allow the weariness of the world to consume me at times.    Remembering none of us our perfect; only the creator can be.   Even when we strive and allow our ego’s morph us into things we really are not.  Just because we are blessed to have talent and skill in the good, the bad and even the ugly.  That gives us that temporal high and illusion of control.

Life is what we purpose to make it.   We can chase the platform and get up so high living in what the world calls elaborate success where we must have someone dictate our everyday schedule, move, and need protection because someone always wants what we have.

Or we can remain humble and know in the end none of the matters in the end if you do not feel alive in life because of our choices.

 

Anyway, Thank You Jesus for allowing me back up another day.

Direct my path and show me what, who, when, if next.

I know Lord you are with all those in harms way, I know you are with all in this miserable heartbreaking war.   Just as I can imagine but never know if it is breaking our hearts how it must be for you.

Lord, may we have faith in you and do what we must to keep getting back up and get to the other side with and for you.

2 Peter 1:5-8 MSG

^5-9 So don’t lose a minute in building on what you’ve been given, complementing your basic faith with good character, spiritual understanding, alert discipline, passionate patience, reverent wonder, warm friendliness, and generous love, each dimension fitting into and developing the others. With these qualities active and growing in your lives, no grass will grow under your feet, no day will pass without its reward as you mature in your experience of our Master Jesus. Without these qualities you can’t see what’s right before you, oblivious that your old sinful life has been wiped off the books.

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

History has already been written and just like a mistake if it continues to repeat itself it is nothing but a bad choice and not worth reporting or being written about.

 

So why is it humanity dares not to do be better, to do something more, to write positive growth into the future of someone else’s historical read?

Our freedom of choice and will the bittersweet curse and blessing of life!

Wars, rumors of war and all the innocent beings annihilated at the hands of evil bullies that will face a wrath bigger than anything humanity will ever be able to fathom.

People stand up even if alone.  Stand up and ready yourselves as the battle has already been one by Jesus Christ.  But the war of this world and all nations and individuals within will continue.  As we find ourselves any given day battling even our own self.  

We do, we don’t, we will, we won’t!   Then we find ourselves looking back at what we done just by one single movement.

Who are you standing with when you make that choice?  Who or what is your go to that has your back?

Here and now sustained by the unseen yet you say you have to believe  in the love of only what you put in your hands physically even if later you toss it to the side forever in disregard that it was never needed in the first place.

 

Everything in this world above the ground from the dust we were given life is temporary.   So, what is so hard in reaching beyond the stars and reading the book of truth and knowledge to the almighty creator and the same who breathed life into the stars that shine bright being the same one who gave air in the lungs you just exhaled from?

No more feelings no more must have it in our dirty little hands.   May the God of Abraham rise up on the inside of every connection I have ever had or will ever be blessed in life as a lesson, gift or just to be.

Heal this world, Lord.  Wash through the warzones of our souls.  Pour out the hardness of darkness and flood every corner of this universe with your love, mercy, and healing grace.

May the innocent suffer no more unless it is their own wrong choice but not that at the hands of dictating trolls who made their way from under the bridge to consume not for anything more but to just collect for their pile of what is washed away in the end.

May we rise up in hope for with and in you Jesus?   May I not miss a day you allow me up ever miss the why of and from you that I am here to begin with.

May we understand we are all dead men and women walking here and now.  But we roar loud and clear through out eternity as our souls projected by choices in what we live for, in faith of all that is unseen be it good bad or indifferent. 

As we look off the balcony of life’s ship through the storms of life we get to choose.   May your will be the choice that shows us the way through it all…

Letting go in you filled with so much more than the temporal immediate rush that washes through all we are.    Never discounting to have loved, learned, and given opportunities allow every soul up and moving the choice to acknowledge they too lead by example.   Prayerfully in hope of all that the heavens mean for eternal good.

Beauty beyond any and all that may be seen with the fading vision of our now.  Yet spectacular unexpected peace mercy and grace forever lighting up the electromagnetic firing of the universe and minds of every being within.

The rat race getting up for all the must do and aches and pains allowing us to know we are still blessed to make a difference.   No more pain in your kingdom Jesus for you are, you have been, and you will forever be always.

We are the bride those who adore all you allow even when we do not understand.

In love, in Christ you will always be as in the fire or lion’s den.   We are yours Jesus no matter if we choose to believe or not.   May we see, be and become the light that shines honor and glory of all you are.   May we be consumed by your love and everlasting fire of hope.

 

If for no one else may this bag of bones, you gave life always remember who you are and the love and all you have for all humanity.  

   Even when feelings overwhelm any day given or the drive of must get this done overtake.  My it always be you leading the will and way of life you allow every day full of opportunity each moment you allow us back up.   Knowing on that day that never comes here and now… In love in Christ, I will be forever at your side with all the angels of eternity beyond peace or anything we will understand here and now.

The Rescue

^3-5 All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.

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

Nothing like jumping up at 2am with a loud crash not knowing what the heck is going on to find out the fur babies of the house got where they should not have been and knocked things crashing to the floor.

Gosh who would I be without all this stuff.  Who would I be if I lived in a bubble and not meant to absorb the constant sounds and noises of the world?  Be it news, day to day or that sound sleep being disrupted.

Whew!  Yes, emotionally tired some days more than others.   Somedays just listening or seeing something sending me into an uncontrollable silent cry.   That just ripples through all that you are.

We are only vessels in this world, and we are not meant for any of what God already has control of.   Even the headlines.

Babies walking 900 miles to safety alone crying the entire way.  God use him for the greater good of hope and light to such a dark world.     Nowhere is it written that the life we have on this earth it would be free, easy, or even nice.

May the tears flow cleansing us from the inside out; but may we never stop growing/going forward.

We can never go back to the beginning and do it over making what was go away.   But we can remember yesterday is gone and if we are given today.  Get up and find your place with Christ Jesus.

In a building, by a stream, on a rock taking a deep breath to know you made it this far and He is not done with you yet.

Seize the opportunity to dive into Jesus’ strength, courage and all the unseen hope that he had when he took those nails.

We will never be enough to qualify, rectify or justify God’s sanctification through his son Jesus Christ.   But know through him, with him and allowing him in your spirit will give you more abundance than anything this world will give or take.

 

Everything here and now is temporal. Sadly, even our beautiful babies and the creation that God has allowed us to be blessed with at any given moment.     But the Holy Spirit and blessings of mercy, grace, strength, courage, with Jesus is life eternal.   And while we are still getting back up the blessing of all that is bright throughout the pain and sorrow of any unfinished battle and rumor or war.

How I too have to sit with Jesus and sometimes just listen knowing he is right in front of us, right beside us, right behind us.   All he wants is to dwell within us in humanity and God’s promise.

2 Corinthians 1:20-22

Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.

 

I don’t know about anyone else, but I so want more of all of Jesus and what He is and the love with abilities to see through his eyes, love with His heart filled with all the confidence and strength He had knowing what was about to happen.

Yes, I have read through the bible, yes, I have challenged, questioned, and wondered what the heck.  Going back to do it again and diving in to learn more.   Yes, I am more  of the world some days than anything else.  

Having my own jagged edges and missing pieces when they are right in front of me my misdirected steps allowing life of the world to be all consuming.  All the while I cannot be anything without Jesus Christ and the very breath he has allowed in these lungs.

Sometimes it hurts to exhale and have faith.  It is scary wondering how, why, or even when.

But once on the other side knowing it is what it is until it is not and the very gift of abundance in all that love has done for and within me when Jesus did not have to.

I want the world to know what is so indescribable.

Through all the mean hateful bullied ways of some.  I cannot let go and I absolutely never want to outrun the love of God.

Fear not as God will wash away and justify the injustice.  Be the strength and help those who are in the least adaptable, loveable, negotiable situations.  

Love humanity for life not for what it will produce and be taken away in the blink of an eye.

Thank you, Father, for all the brothers and sisters in your light, in you or you in them.  Thank you for the light and life through worship.

Jesus protect your children who call you Father, Friend, Brother, keeper of our souls.

May the strength and courage of this new world wash through all that is broken and show hopes way.

Protect, heal, and allow your will not ours to be done every day we are allowed back up no matter how hard or easy.

Shine bright Jesus Here and Now across this world!

Thank you for the ability to see where I once was, and all that you have allowed me through.    Open the eyes of your people Lord and let them have your strength and courage to get back up and make your mosaic beauty out of so much brokenness of this universe.

Thank you for another day filled with so many opportunities be it right or left, north or south, laughter or tears.   You the potter have already seen the end replication of what will be.   Thank you for loving me and teaching me who I am in you.

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

With all this craziness going on in the world and all the death and destruction.  Don’t wait until tomorrow to love those God gave you today!

I have spent the past couple days catching up with family for relocations, birthdays and even talking through what next after death.

None of us are promised tomorrow and the darkness wants you to believe you are not worthy to live today.

Some of us get 100+ years while others that capture our hearts only get a day.

We are just getting started as long as we are allowed back up.   Hold tight and true to the faith of all God is and beyond forever will be.

We cannot take back yesterday and damn it is hard to erase those images we see in our minds eye from the world that surrounds us.

Know who you were created in the image of.   The same one who created the heavens and earth.

You are worth more than any of us will ever give our selves credit for.  And it is far more than what we look like or what we can acquire.  By hard work or the greatest hustle ever.

Trying to understand and filter out what is truly important in every day choices can be hard.  Until we dive in and really purpose to believe and live by faith and feed our mind, body, and spirits with all that is good, all that is true.  Life is nothing but one big bucket of propaganda.

 

It may serve the purpose of the here and now immediate self-gratification.  But in the end, it is meaningless and robs us of all we were meant to be blessed with and for.

While we are out chasing the dream why are we not breathing in Gods promises and living them.   

It is a beautiful thing to be able to be part of going and coming, seeing beautiful things and even being part of sharing such.

But life happens right where we are.   Though it seems the normal is to force others to go along for the ride we are in.  But making our misunderstandings and shortcomings anyone’s within reach.

It is not.   We lose life every second we are allowed to breathe.   Yet we waste so much on what robs us.

As we propel through life either face down or strategically aligning all the stars that we think we have in control.

Do we ever really dive in to hear what Gods promise says?   I struggle I won’t deny.  It is so easy to take off running even if my goal is to never hit the floor before opening my day in thanks and conversation with the Jesus who gave it all so I could chase bits and pieces of any day that at some point become irrelevant and just fill space because I forget who I am in Him or why I am even allowed to be.

Life is precious in short.   None of us are better or worse than the next.   Our choices matter how we will get back up if we are  not sent to our final destination.

Life is too short, and everything changes at the hands of our choices or those we are trapped to escape that just do not care.

May the God of all things show his abundant mercy, grace, healing, and love  to all who follow.   May we as a nation rise up and call upon the Lord now before we think we can in harm’s way.

Jesus give your people strength, protect the innocence and your children.  The widows and orphans and the numbers are counting not just those discarded here and now.  But all left as collateral damage of all the unnecessary wars between good and evil.

It has started and you are on your way Jesus. There is no doubt.  Just as the world sits and watches trying to do something for those in need in this war that never stops.   You are on your way!

Give your people the means and way and will to step up, rise up to do something to help stop this madness.   Show us Father.  Stop the demons, stop the darkness. 

This is more than what was and not even close to what it will be.

Show me, show us who you are and who I am to be.  Who we are to be for and with you.
