21-25 This is the kind of life you’ve been invited into, the
kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you
would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, step-by-step.
He never did one thing wrong,
Not once said anything amiss.
They called him every name in the
book and he said nothing back. He suffered in silence, content to let God set
things right. He used his servant body to carry our sins to the Cross so we
could be rid of sin, free to live the right way. His wounds became your
healing. You were lost sheep with no idea who you were or where you were going.
Now you’re named and kept for good by the Shepherd of your souls.
24 He personally carried the load of our sins in his own
body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a
good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!

Thinking
Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
Up and out the door by 7a.m. after staying up half the
night binge watching another Netflix series that I nope should not be
watching. Lord knows there is so much
darkness in everyday reality. Yet somehow
you caught a glimpse of that action drama all about corruption and the drug
world and all the wars of mafia gangs. And
let’s face it; hook, line and action.
Staying up leaving me exhausted all the while day to day must keep on
keeping on!
Far from perfect and beyond thankful for the grave that
you Jesus took in my place.
All our best laid plans constantly driven like an off-road
race or event. Where you cannot see past
yourself but you keep hitting those bumps twists and turns and hopefully there
is someone really logical and loving in the driver seat sometimes so you can
just throw those hands up to enjoy the ride.
As the weekend is gone the sweet memories of seeing so
many little individuals getting to be blessed as I was invited to run sound for
the annual blessed with a dress.
Hair, nails free dress shopping and then allowing them to have
their own fashion show.
Seeds of Jesus planted and who would of thought that the
growth within me just seeing those smiles and excitement.
God is good all the time when we look past what we do not
have or what has not been answered to that we continually pray over again.
Why do we do that and not give gratitude for the ability
to just let our feet hit the floor and breathe again.
Sometimes I carry the weight before remembering Jesus
already took the load of all burdens.
So why do we forget and try to take back what has already
been removed.
I will never be a theologian, nor will I ever try to
pretend I have the answers.
Like staying in those broken relationships that almost
kill you, but you don’t want to start over.
Not that you cannot, but something makes you want to keep trying to fix
what you don’t even have the right to know is broken.
I made a rule in my house some years back and told my
family we are no longer allowed to be rescue rangers of the four-legged or two-legged
life forms.
I still have the cats from the last stray cat that had
babies and I ended up with kittens from 15 years ago.
Would I change my journey if I had to do it over again? I used to say no; but truthfully if I am
allowed to know then what I know now.
Absolutely. Never would I have
thought I needed something or someone to make me worthy of life itself.
Never would I tolerate and try to convince myself that if
I just keep being what others want things would be everlasting.
Learning to love myself and be myself for whom I was created
to be should never be put on hold or sacrificed to fit in or keep anyone’s
life.
There will be people that come and go in and out of your
journey. Some will be there through
your lifetime others just moments in time.
Man, alive in Christ all things are possible. Jesus has absolutely walked me through fire
and kept me from burning alive. When
there were so many times I just tried to self-destruct. As a parent, aunt, sister, grandparent, friend,
and whatever other labels. I can only
pray that the blood that runs through my veins and has washed me free of the
life’s quicksand. Pours over Christs
umbrella that protects me into every connection for all that is true, all that
is beyond good. For my family, friends
and all my connections.
But if it does not. I know it is in Christ alone that
every individual need to have that relationship personally. Though I can shine and light up and perhaps
that light that may illuminate. That growth in anything planted must be cared
for and it starts with each individual.
No matter what that looks like, no matter what that shows
up as or sounds like. The help you are
looking for is already here waiting for the calling you are not hearing. Not at midnight, not at noon. Jesus Christ is right where you are be it in
a room or riding the waves of this great life in a balloon.
Darkness and destruction is inevitable in this vast world. Yet no matter what the battle we do not have
to give up. We do not need to give away
the life we were blessed to come in this world with and give it away for all that
just sucks the life out of us if we are not careful. The modern-day vampires trying to suck the
joy out of your spirit and soul, while never getting enough or never doing for
themselves or even just misguided lost loved ones. Unless they are babies and even toddlers
know the difference of choosing yes over no.
As adults even if it is the fight of our lives, we still
own the choices we make.
As I have recently had to deal with life and that of some
close that depend on everything and everyone around them to make choices for
them. And the clean up of what is
unexplainable to me when something happens when you do not care for even the smallest
blessings we are given.
I can only pray the curse is broken and we all just get
back up.
There is so much being able to think for oneself and doing
our best with whatever we get to work with and not be paralyzed to not just
breathe and lean in on the same sustainer that allows us up any given day.
Anyway, just thinking out loud all and then silently and
this what it is for today.
Thankful for the blessings of life.
