Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
Well Lord, here we are; Me given another day blessed for
opportunities to be found and who ever the souls are that are reading this. Thank you!
As this day will close out later or even for some sooner
than others; I thank you for the opportunities for all my yesterdays.
Life is guaranteed to be a ride and full of hills and
valleys. No where is it ever been written
anyone in this life will have smooth sailing without storms blowing through.
Though I am not into jumping out of planes; I absolutely
love the rides Jesus. Be it bringing
uncontrollable laughter that I cannot contain be it from pleasure and joy or
just nerves. To when the tears come and
the unknown, hurt, pain or sorrow from the twists and turns we were not ready
for consumes me or those I care deeply for.
You made us all with great detail and care; meant for so
much more than what this world can do. Or
what we can do for or to ourselves. Thankfully
we all handle this life differently.
I pray for those who suffer with self-infliction, anxiety,
addictions, self-doubting or any of the never-ending self-destruction contributors
that hold us back or destroy us. All
that hold us back from truly coming to know and walk with you Jesus.
It could be anyone of us at any point and time. We could
go from that pedestal of elation down into the pits of sorrow and self-destruction
at any given time. Sacrificing that one
last breath of hope and peace you allow; into the world of chaos and demands at
every other souls’ fingertips.
Allowing the world to define us by what we can or cannot
do and believing that is all we are; or can be; to be something of and in this
world.
Where is the love; that never-ending story without you
Jesus?
This year as the year before and the year before; I am
and have been blessed. Riding this
roller coaster filled with the oh so many twists and turns. Knowing I hate to feel; hate to let what is
in the depths of this soul out. For it
is you that carry me.
Yet, part of your bigger plan Jesus you allow me to go
beyond feeling at times; knowing what is to be loved from the inside out.
Having that love hate relationship with myself; while trying
to release all the mishaps and misguided foolish notions this love craved soul believes
at times.
Blessed to be here another year venting and tapping out
all that twists up this maze. Releasing
the riddles of this mind while holding on to things I will never let go; while
grasping desperately to hold onto what feels safe yet with no meaning.
My heart prays forever your guidance and will direct my
steps, my words and my deeds; with the necessary abundant forgiveness when my selfish
will puts me in places I need not be; protecting myself and family while forgiving
others from all harm and misfortune.
Directing us through this life knowing you are always with those who
call upon your name. Those who believe!
Lord; be with all those suffering in weakness within the
abyss of this world. Those who genuinely
know and love you; and those who have not found your grace to be enough. Those who are seeking you and those who have
been consumed and pulled away.
Thank you for allowing me this day; this past year and
all the moments in the here and now.
Thank you for filling those empty moments.
Thank you for giving me hope.
Thank you for all the connections you allow.
Thank you for the light that is shined bright by your
chosen.
Thank you for the darkness.
Without any of this I would not have life. Without the ability to know I can choose no
matter if wrong or right. I would not
exist.
Thank you for the sweetest blessings, physically,
musically, soulfully from every inch of my being.
Thank you for years past and all of 2019. Thank you for the hope beyond the sting; as
I await to see what you allow and 2020 shall bring.
Lord you know what is on the heart in this soul and
firing through this mind maze. Please
hear my prayers for all I am connected.
Thank you for your favor despite any darkness your abundant mercy, grace
and endless love blesses me.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you,
Jesus, for today and all the yesterdays I have been given. I will never be able
to say it enough.
Over this past
year or so I have been blessed to grow through many changes, twists and turns.
Things I never
expected, never even thought of. In
some cases, heartbreak has been tremendous as I watch and feel the impacts of
loss loved one’s; sickness; and those I deeply care about hurting and unable to
just give it to God.
That phrase Let
go Let God; so easy to say; however, not even for the believer to live.
Desperate even today for God’s will in me to
lead by example; to touch the hearts of my children, grandchildren, nieces,
nephews and all I am connected by blood.
Just as so with those who I am friends with or those I may someday cross
paths. To truly feel the love from the
outside in we crave; for that which is the love we are blessed with from the
inside out that only Jesus allows within the depths of our souls.
Me the fixer;
the greatest lesson of all over the years. Only God can fix things everlasting.
Yes, we can
step up and step out and even live, loving on the least desirable in this
world; No they not that what many consider least of these because of who the
truly were; but for what they were doing or allowing to be done to themselves.
As a parent and
a soul who grew up without anyone in my corner once my sister was old enough to
find her way out. I can just say I have
always been the one wanting to give my own everything I never had; or help
those in need; showing a care and love that I was not allowed to understand or
have.
Knowing over
these years I have seen so many beautiful souls lost to the world of drugs,
suicide, reckless choices or just even today living in the darkness believing
their way to give themselves away and mask all that is slowly killing
them. Yet not once believing in and
speaking about the God that created us.
However, there
also have been those rainbow moments; when my dear friend and family asked if I
could get them baptized and 12 days later, they went home with the Lord. How do I know this; the day he came out of
the water a rainbow was in the sky and the day he went home a rainbow was above
his house.
I could talk
about how the loss of family; close friends’ children; those I deeply loved and
admired or even my little buddy my pet of 15 years moved on and left its
mark. I can talk about the unfairness
and brokenness watching and hearing dear friends finding their son at deaths
door after being clean for two years. I
can talk about nieces clean for awhile and someone gave them something for the
anxiety and lack of sleep they were experiencing, and their four children found
them dead asleep for one last time.
I could talk
about when I was going through my darkness finding myself out of all that ever
happened in my life trying to make sense; or even when I was striving forward and
was taken to my knees screaming and crying at God; what do you want from me!
Even the
anxiety and fear I myself have felt for my children and grandchildren all the
while knowing It is not about me.
Trusting in
what we cannot see and living for the Lord in a Faith that we have no substance
to hold in our hands.
It is there if
we look back and just realize thankfully all the times He has been with and for
us.
I could go back
to even the darkness He kept me alive from as a child or even recently when seeing
photos from when my own grandchild who was in the back seat of a vehicle and
someone ran a light the photos where the truck slammed and spun into other
vehicles and into a pole; yet the stopped inches from crushing the door where my
first grandchild was.
Injuries yes;
tragic I am thankful no. The many
times I myself as a young person has been pulled from the pits not knowing or
having anyone leading me or even talking about knowing Jesus. What does this mean to me?
I have seen and
lived through much darkness and even so much more unknown. I cannot explain why the God of all creation
picked me when He did; or why He did. But
I do know our control is within our freedom of will and choice. I have seen the light and choose to share
whatever I can about the God who saved me from myself and from a world that so
easily consumes us leaving us reckless and always in harms way.
Out of the
darkness only happens when you believe in something greater than humanity will
ever be. The results well that is where
control becomes the illusion; where when things go terribly wrong impacting
everyone we are around or are close to. Yet we know from the depths of the being we
have been created. There is purpose in
the pain and opportunity to lead through the darkness to brighter hope in all
that love is meant to be.
Love that hung
on a cross for you and me; Jesus!
Some
totally ignore the end result and impacts of the choices they make; and yes the
choice to believe in what has been proven real and unchanged for more than 2000
years. The story of our God and creation and His son Jesus Christ!
Some and their choices are so selfish where
many have even gone as far as walking out on those who need them most. Walking
away from responsibilities, morality even their own blood line when blessed
with human life from their own blood lines.
Some well,
their choices for others just let the world consume them just so they do not
have to deal; or say it is all they know.
Most likely true; if those who have hope in something greater do not
step out and share God’s love.
I really do not
know why or when; the first time I ever heard about Jesus and being baptized
which I had no clue is in Jacksonville Florida around the age of ten. When I hopped on a bus that was going around
the neighborhood I lived in and went to a church and they did an alter call;
and I asked if I could be baptized. No
stinking clue what that meant then; but knowing all those years I made it
through; was all about God.
What I can say
at this time; is I wish nothing I have ever lived through on anyone. However; I am beyond thankful for being one
that has been allowed the abilities to know the truth; to know who I am in
Christ even if on the majority of my days I still may have struggles with all I
have made it through and for why; even if I struggle with insignificance and wonder
why does God allow me so close; yet so far away. Sometimes still really just wanting to belong
even when I know I belong to something greater and more significant than anything
in this world.
More so, I am
thankful to know I/we cannot change the yesterday’s; but I/we can choose to
live for today every new day I/we are allowed up.
I/We can find
even just the one thing to be thankful for right here and right now and demand
Jesus into our lives; and not asking him to change whatever the circumstances;
but to lead us through it while gaining understanding and peace with even
deeper meaning to lead us for what is next.
Riddles it may
seem to some. Others well those who
believe in Jesus Christ truly no matter how happy, sad, angry or ecstatic we
may feel. Knowing that there is so much
more than what has just occurred.
And not that we take away from the truth, hurt, pain or hardships the
world has to offer.
But we know we
will never go through anything that God our father of all things has not
already experienced.
We will not feel any pain even close to what
Jesus Christ has. And we do not have to
be perfect, bubbly and happy all the time.
We do know greater things in Christ are yet to come.
I myself could
have never gotten anywhere near where I am today without all who believe and dedicate
shining their light of hope through music, through missions, through telling
the story of who God really is through bible-based teachings.
If there is one
thing, I know absolute; we are not meant to do this life here and now on our
own; and there will be many wolves in sheep’s clothing seen and unseen knocking
at the door to consume us. It does not
matter who they are; or who you are as long as you have that deep relationship
with Jesus Christ; then and only then will you be filled with a deep peace and
will that allows you peace even in the perfect storms.
I pray you know
this; live this and want this abundantly for yourself and all care about; that you
know and understand you will lead by example no matter if you are trying or
not.
I pray when
things are hard; you dig in and learn to pray and pray harder right where you
are.
Digging in and
find those who do not believe in religion but those who believe in God the Father;
his son Jesus Christ and allow the Holy Spirit to dwell within your soul.
However, know this once you do; life will not
be easy. Satan will be doing everything
in his army and power to distract you; make you doubt and fear and even
fall. Be it against you yourself or
those you love the most.
But he has
already been defeated by Christ; and for this unless you allow it; can never
touch you. No matter what you choose; shine
bright for God as He has made us all for so much more than what is temporary in
this world.
And if tomorrow
never comes; what is it today that you have done for all that seems failing;
dark or just out of control?
Have you done
your very best to make positive change?
It does not
matter if you think you are not good enough or not.
What matters is are you contributing to the
darkness and the issues; or are you doing your best with what you have been
given to work with to try and make it better?
Are you pointing out all the flaws or wrongs and crossing your arms and
just leaving the burdens to others? Or
are you at least trying to be a positive contributor to something better; a
change; a word; an endless prayer instead of adding more layers or talking to
others about and not talking directly to God asking what I/we can do.
You are leading
by example no matter if you are purposing to do so or not. Someone is always watching; someone is
always going to try and do and be like who you are. If they see negativity is what you release
all the time; they too will think that is the way it should be.
If they see you
giving up and giving in; they too will quit before ever having a chance to grow
forward.
We do not have
to be perfect for only the Lord above is!
Easy comes and goes leaving
lasting negative impacts. Why not
purpose to do what is morally sound and impacting for generations.
Even if we end
up wrong; which we won’t! Even if; then
we can sleep well at night with clean hands and a pure heart.
Well I am never
sure where my tomorrow will be; or if it will.
But for today I am thankful and blessed for every yesterday I have had
in this journey. Even those I will
never understand.
I could not
have done or gotten anywhere without all who have shined the light of hope and
love ahead of me. So, thank you to all who
are leading the way to Jesus and showing us how to hold on to the light of hope
through all the dark times.
Thank you to
all my soul loved ones, brothers and sisters out here those who I reference
over and over and those not mentioned as of yet.
Thank you, Holy
Spirit, for allowing me connections to Jesus through you; and to my brothers and
sisters and beloved through Christ himself.
Prayers in
abundance for abundance of all that fills you with the peace love and blessings
from our one true God.
May the Prince
of Peace come to dwell deep within your souls and heal, lead and show you the abundant
love God has for all His creations.
May you
forgive, forgetting what does not matter and grow in hope, peace and the
abundant mercy and grace Jesus Christ grants each and every soul that chooses
to believe and walk with Him.
Thank you, @Dr. Charles Stanley@www.bible.com for all you do and for this today. “The
Will of God” First, God’s will is good. The Lord’s
plan is morally honorable, excellent, and beneficial to you. It may not always
appear to be so at first. But we must remember that God promises to cause all
things to work together for our good (Rom. 8:28). The Father is very careful
about what He permits to touch our lives. Why? Simply because He Himself is
good. Psalm 145:9 affirms that “the Lord is good to all.”
Second, the Lord’s plan for you is acceptable. It’s both
well-pleasing to God but also satisfying to you. The Lord receives you on the
basis of what Jesus did on the cross. Once you’ve received Christ as your
Savior, you’re accepted before the Father forever. And because of the presence
of the Holy Spirit in you and the Word of God as your guide, you can live in a
manner well-pleasing to the Lord. In fact, Philippians 2:13 asserts, “It is God
who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.” The
Father patiently teaches you how to walk with Him—leading you along the way. So
not only is it possible to live in an acceptable manner before Him, but God is
committed to helping you do so.
Finally, God’s will for you is perfect. When we
read the word “perfect,” we may be daunted by thoughts of having to maintain a
flawless walk with the Lord. But that’s not what’s intended here. The Greek
word teleiosthat’s used is better translated “finished; brought to
maturity; enabled to reach the goal; needing nothing for completeness.” Friend,
the Father has no half-baked schemes—especially when it comes to your life. You
may not know His full plan … but He does. He knows “the end from the beginning”
(Isa. 46:10), and He can and will bring it to absolute completion.
God’s Word promises you that the
Lord’s will is good, acceptable, and perfect. Who wouldn’t want to serve a God
that loving and full of care? Today, rest in the assurance that His good,
acceptable, and perfect will is not only well within your reach, but that He’s
also committed to working it out in your life as you trust in Him.
May
the blessings of our creator bring you all peace, prosperity and abundant love
in hope of eternity in 2020 and all the remaining days we are given.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you,
Jesus, for today and all the yesterdays I have been given.
As I hear the
birds singing through the skies; taking this deep breath trying to focus
opening these eyes. You have given me
another day filled with opportunities and looking up for you in the great wide-open
as I steadily keep trying; keep doing my best with any little thing I am given;
moving forward with you by my side.
How many times
I have briefly forgotten you are with me on some of this ride; feeling crushed;
not enough or even truly at times wishing to just leave then you so boldly
remind me how I really felt before knowing you when all I wanted was a life but
tried hard to die.
The world
certainly has a way of making our insignificance come to life. Pains, sorrows, love almost; or love that
was, including all the death or day to day strife.
Yet here I sit
knowing it does not matter of others around; when it comes to all I am in you
that has been found.
No boyfriend,
girlfriend; husband or wife. No amount
of money even if it makes us momentarily comfortable in this worldly life.
Nothing can or ever will be the peace, the
love or all the beauty that I see. It
is you Jesus the son of man who truly breathe life into this being and allow me
to really know my worth and all that I am.
Despite the
human nature or worldly goals; yes, it is necessary to have something positive
to always move forward and allow growth.
Absolutely
knowing we are not meant to do this world trip on our own.
Thank you, Jesus,
for never leaving my side even when I lay wide awake not understanding what you
want from me truly or of this blessed life.
Knowing where I
have been; not necessarily where I am going with you on this future ride. All that is necessary is knowing is the one
who sustains me; truly allowing me to know forgiveness, mercy and grace; loving
me from the inside out will now forever be my life.
Sadly, aware
and knowing not everyone in this world will know you in death and contribute or
be sucked in by darkness in whatever they call life.
Even the unfortunate
reminders; not everyone blessed with family will live in the blessing with that
moral compass, goals or necessary priorities even when they are blessed with
children of their own for a promise of new life.
Instead they come
and go for selfish earthly pleasures forgetting or maybe not even knowing your
promise for new life. All the while the
gifts they have been given left for others like lost sheep being circled up by
the wolves of darkness and the worlds tainted gossips and Satan’s pure lies.
Have faith lost
sheep no matter what happens; or what lies.
Turn to God committing to be a Bride of Christ. When things are hard, really impossible to
be. Call out to God; call out to
Jesus the Holy spirit in three; call out loudly from your heart from your
being. Praying Jesus please come take
me; please now guide, live within and protect me.
Worldly life
can be so hard; so misunderstood; promises and dreams slipping through your
hands as you time and time again keep trying for all that you thought was pure
and good.
Never lose hope
in who Christ is; even when you are at the end of your own rope.
The pain will
subside; and the day comes you find Christ your self dies as your soul truly
comes back to life.
Doing your best,
no matter what is; or is not; no matter who lives or who dies. The pain in you will subside. Just cling tightly to Jesus Christ for the
duration of this ride; anticipating being face to face on the other side of
this world into the eternal promise of divinity; alone is the peace within and
so worth the ride.
Praying
graciously without haughty pride; knowing God will fulfill your needs as surely
as the sun will rise.
So, no matter
what this day is right here and now for you or for me. Give all you are to the son of God to meet
the Father right where you are. Finding
deep within even when you cannot understand or see. Thankfulness for the abilities you have had;
and will have in any day you are allowed to rise up and do life.
Knowing you
will never be alone; but also knowing you will never do this life on your own,
and with Jesus you will never have to.
I pray all I am
connected and all I will cross paths with no matter what, who, how or why. You hold on and know where your help comes
from. Knowing no matter what was; what
is; whatever will be. God is for you
and loves you more than anything or anyone in this earthly world as we know it
can or will.
Be thankful for
all you endure and always hold that moral compass and keep pressing forward with
Jesus hand and hand.
You do not have
to have special privilege to do so; or rights or even belong to a religious entity
to start building that relationship with him.
You just have to openly want and call on Him in prayer and start living in
moral, respecting, loyal obedience learning from those who truly want and continually
grow forward from the truths that are written in the bible; including building
your family from a bible based church and not that of man. Seeking forgiveness for our misdeeds; while
holding tightly to His love and promises all the while doing our best to shine
hope forward.
Blessings be
for all who call upon our Father in the Heavens. No, I am no authority, and will most days
work harder more so than smarter. But I
know where my help and peace come from and for this I am forever blessed.
I pray you too
find a way to daily speaking life over yourself and all you are connected and learn
to walk away from all that opens the door of darkness. No matter how hard or meniscal it may seem

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
Wide awake most of the night just
not being able to sleep; then when I did fall off about an hour later jumped up
thinking I was late for work. Oh, this
mind maze of mind and most likely the cold medicine I took yesterday to limit
this stuff that has come to be after two full days of sneezing.
Laughing yet wondering how long one
mind really sticks with us and would those brief moments of waking not knowing
where we are for a moment in time be the beginning of what the future holds.
Thinking too much about what
really does not matter; yes, sometimes I do that too often. However, we normally do not know the insignificance
until it has proven itself.
These past few days have been
heavy for allergy sufferers; and had I known my area alone would have become a routine
annoyance for me I am sure I would have never taken on this blessing.
It truly was a God thing; so, had
I thought too much about it; well that too would have been something I talked
myself out of and missed.
Living life as the next big ride
or just cruising through trying to be a good human. Do we ever not think enough; or in some cases
think too much. All of the above; trapped
in the circuits where wires get crossed; and we short out missing the mark or
taking our frustrations to a whole new level.
Trying to do it all ourselves and
being angry and/or hurt with the world when it does not turn out.
Waking in a panic or just not
wanting to care. Most times just jumping
up and going through the motions and just being and doing what we think matters.
In the end where is the
love? In the end where does it take
us? In the end do we realize we cannot
take any of this here and now with us?
Even the most evil think they
can; when in truth only that which is left of our souls and the depths of love
or lack of for and with Jesus Christ is what will matter.
Landing us in Glory with our Creator
or the depths of hell for an eternity.
Either way what we do or do not do what is here and now becomes
meaningless in the grand scheme of things.
Where is the love as we look at
others? Do we see them for who they
really are? Or do we just see the outer
shell of what they do or did?
Is our plan just naturally
attraction to others for what they give us; or will do for us without them even
knowing there is never an intention of really giving or accepting the love they
offer to grow?
The world, bittersweet so many
agenda’s so many crossed circuits. With
even more selfish ambitions.
Everything has a cost; yet fewer and
fewer truly wish to give back to help growth in what God’s love really should
be.
The excitement of a child opening a present at Christmas; or the mood
that over comes us in the shifting of sunlight from peaceful bliss unto the
perfect storm.
The storms we allow to rage
within. Letting go; Letting God a term
so often mocked and laughed about.
As we in the world fight reality,
fearful of the unknown, bitter and sorrowful of all that is taken.
What is it that we truly want in
this life; all that is temporal that someone else will always want and steal?
What is it that you see in the
partner you are laying next to? What is
it that you are doing for morality and the future of this world?
It is all temporal; yet are you
giving meaning speaking life or are you taking as much as you can trying to
store up and counting your worth by that you do no longer even know you have?
How many others does it take to
know and manage who your really think you are?
There is only just one! His name
is Jesus; even when the world demands what blessings he has given you.
Are you truly tapped into what He
calls for and taking that for what should be?
Reading bible verses daily mean nothing but the steppingstones to God’s
world. Attending worship or church
sermons even when bible based are meaningless. If you are not growing forward with Christ!
How are you leading by
example? Pushing all the worldly rules
and regulations or even making up your own?
When and where have you truly lived
saying what you mean and meaning what you say?
When was the last time you truly
remained accountable, truthful and lived asking and giving forgiveness for all that
you have done to others or had done by others?
We may never change the world
with positive, moral, respect within our choices and actions. But we can absolutely change who we are and
plant the seeds of hope for God’s promise land.
Eventually if enough of us do our
best with Godly intentions in mercy and grace the forest of God’s love will
grow in abundance and shine brighter filled with a peace and harmony to
outshine all hurts, habits and those hang ups we in the world have.
A dreamer; yes, forever in love
with what seems to be forever out of reach.
Just to breathe in and the kiss of God’s promise and all He has allowed
to fill the depths of this soul. Knowing
nothing is perfect in this world and the broken pieces of me will come and go.
But the love of Jesus will endure
forever even if only in my dreams. To
never give up; never give in no matter how hard it may seem. No matter how many times I allow that rug to
be pulled out from under me. No matter
what desires turn into a worldly joke as those who lie their way through life
scheme and play life’s chess game.
The end is all the same; God
Wins! Our freedoms of choice and will
and what we do next will resolve in the end by who we believed and hoped
in. Many may not get any of this; may laugh it
off or just ignore what they think they have time to deal with later.
Tomorrow is never promised. Love and live today as it is the last meeting
Jesus right where you are. For me as ====Psalm23:4-5====
is written I will live my remaining tomorrow’s in hope, in love and wait for
God knowing: 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I
will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your
staff, they comfort me. 5 You
prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup
overflows.
Even when my own scattered dreams
are hard to find and put back together; no matter what the reasons I could no
longer hold them. Until there is no air
left in these lungs I will continue to fight forward grasping onto God the father. Being thankful for him allowing this life
to know choices; and wrong; right; good or bad.
Always be me. AlwaysMeKelly.
Tainted; torn; broken and
beautiful. Filled with abundant hope
gazing forward like a child in a candy story for and with Jesus in mind. Trying to make it and keep it real in this
world that can be so full of confusion and misunderstood abilities.
Father through all the hills and valleys you give and take away one thing remains the same. You are always with me. https://youtu.be/p4rRCjrAyCs “Hills and Valleys” @Tauren Wells
Please be with all I am connected that do not know you yet; thank you for hearing the prayers and healing those who have been going through cancer.
Please guide these souls so they know where their help truly comes from. Please never think of me ungrateful Lord for the love those who do not walk with me show. However, please direct all steps knowing if I am ever to be connected again to anyone in this here and now.
They must truly know, live and breathe you before ever thinking I can be more than anything but a loving friend or vessel to you. Especially those I have known a good many years that are grasping at whatever they can during the healing process or trying to find something different in their own new normal.
Though I do not hide behind anyone anymore these days. I wish not to be rude or hurt anyone. Lord I am not willing to sacrifice who I am in, to or for you and the blessings you have filled me with over something of the world. This life of mine is until you change it between you and me. https://youtu.be/TDuy9gH5JFg “Between You and Me” @DC Talk
=======================================
Watching a movie “Scattered
Dreams” late night thoughts; because I just cannot sleep.
Scattered Dreams pieces of me as I
pick up the shards of brokenness knowing that there’s so much more that God
wants me to be
I ask myself; how did I get here
from there and all I can do is look up in the sky and stare
Scattered Dreams pieces of me
each time something is chipped away; the walls go up knowing even when I do not
say it; all I want is to just leave me be.
Alienating myself so know one can see what is felt they will see.
Forever deep inside; no reason to
even worry your hand for somethings we just may never see.
Knowing as long as the good Lord
gives us the ability to get up any given day; we must make the best of it; even
if all we can do is just move and breathe.
Scattered Dreams, if anything;
different is meant to be; will someone please come show me; just what that
means. Leave me guide me through I just
can no longer see the world as it should be.
Holding onto God’s love even on the
days I wish I could just scream. The
yesterdays are gone forever; living today is how it should be. Tomorrow is never promised not for you not
for me.
Scattered dreams do not come with a manual how to put the plans back together again; but the same theme holds true throughout. Love conquers all misfortune all that is misleading, and all promised by any human being.

Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives
and/or feelings):
There will never be enough prayers, thanks or service to truly pay back the blessings we receive; I receive.
Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me up another new day. Though I will always remember where I have been and never fully grasp where it is, I am going. I know you are with me then, now and any tomorrow’s given. Thank you!
Life bittersweet, like that sweet Sunshower; full of broken prayers never really knowing if we have gotten it right or not. We all have demons to deal with. Unless we give it all to you Jesus; for we cannot do this life on our own. Knowingly we certainly cannot do this life the worlds way and have meaning in the end.
For all that is love, peace and all the mercy and grace is with you alone Father God, Son of man Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit we choose to allow within us.
Thank you for the blessings and the lessons and those blessings that come on the other side of painful moments. May we learn to grow through and with you Jesus during these times?
There is no amount of money; no amount of secrets; no amount of masking and pretending that will ever take away what we feel from disappointment and loss. We cannot save ourselves; we cannot save those we love without you Jesus.
No matter how hard we try; no matter what plans or schemes we make up. It will always be your will Father God and the freedom of will and how everyone of us; your children choose.
The bittersweet truth; as we watch our sons and daughters; nieces and nephews; and littles struggle finding their way in this world.
We all get to choose; through the pains and sorrows; through the good times and laughter; through the loneliness and broken promises; broken heart we all at some point will experience.
Is it not better to have known love than never be loved at all comes to my mind. With you, in you Jesus it is more than just to have known; but despite anything in this world. You allow a love and truth filled with peace from the inside out.
Thank you for choosing me from the day I was conceived; no I will never have the answers. Growing up without parental guidance, feeling thrown away; being kept alive and pulled from the demons themselves and deaths door so many times as I tried to leave before ever knowing you. Distinct triggers still today although I do not wake up fighting for my life; still am overwhelmed at times from the scent of drunkenness, wild turkey with flashes in my child’s mind. To the suicidal thoughts for most of my youth.
How I am here Jesus is because of you; even if I struggle somedays trying to find my value and significance. Even if I let myself down with expectations being gullible and get in way over my head.
The demons within myself; will not succeed; for you have called me out of the darkness. No matter what mistakes or misguided directions I twist this journey up in.
Your love wins! I will not bow down then or now to anything or anyone but you Jesus. I pray your will consume me. While this untamed heart watches life unfolds into something greater than I will ever be able to imagine.
Even if right here and right now is all there is; it is far more than life without you ever was. I once said I just hope someone is there to pick me when things go horribly wrong in this world. The fact is; no matter what I yearn for or have in the depths of this soul. You Lord have been picking me up all my life.
Accountability; yes, Lord I need someone to balance my direction. To help me logically continue this journey serving you. While keeping me from openly just giving away whatever life and sustenance I have left to maintain.
However, you know me. So, I pray Lord for your direction. Not only for myself but all of what we have no control over in this world.
I pray for our leadership; for our humanity; for peace and morality and leading the way for our littles; our young adults and all of my brothers and sisters in your kingdom.
I pray for guidance and protection for myself and all those who have not yet found you for all those who are losing ground to hold on to you. And from all those who refuse to acknowledge you.
I pray for all in the world who are doing their best to shine hope for and with you. For protection and healing; strength and courage.
I pray for deep healing and reconciliation of faith for all who suffered great loss this year and the years prior. Though as humans we will never fully grasp such a thing and our hearts break. You know firsthand what it is like to come in human form and sacrifice true love. Thank you, Jesus!
So even though this wild heart with abundant dreams and desires is fully human; that will continually make mistakes but even more so cling to you Father God tighter than ever before.
I pray your love will guide all that I am; as I am nothing without you Jesus. Guide and protect my bloodline for your will; and all that I am connected. All that I will come to cross paths with.
I pray forgiveness for all I have wronged in my journey through you; as I forgive all who have wronged me.
Thank you for this year and all the years prior. If I am blessed for tomorrows into 2020, I pray your direction Jesus. To have the abilities to be something greater than the darkness or temporal of this world.
Never then, never now would I have ever thought I would be in so desperate need of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. But here I am; and cannot do this on my own; and truly know I am nothing Jesus without you.
Thank you for your mercy and grace and this thing called life I am growing through.
Please in Jesus name be with all I am connected. Fill them with the love and hope and abundant peace through all the storms in their own journeys.

==== Luke 2:28-32(NIV) =====
Simeon took him in his arms and praised
God, saying: “Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you may now dismiss your
servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared
in the sight of all nations: a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and the

====1 John 4:15-18 ==== (NIV)
15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.
17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
====Deuteronomy 33:27 ==== (NIV) 27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, ‘Destroy them!’
====Psalm 13:5 ==== (NIV) 5 But
I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/
Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you Jesus for another new day; a roof over my head; a place of
employment to make funds to eat, and have necessities of life and to be blessed
with periodic opportunities of rest and play while journeying through my day to
day.
Thank you for the full heart this morning as I think how I struggled for
most of my life with insignificance and never having a human father
figure. Feeling as if the one I knew of
as dad had just walked out on his kids but more importantly because of me. Later to find out he was never my biological
father and dealing with two deadbeat dads that never leveled up and did their
part.
Reminding me, how full I felt as I sat in Christmas Eve service next to
three young women who have lost their father one a couple years back and the
other two this year. Filled up knowing,
I may not see you working; however, you are with them just as much you are with
me.
Sad to know that one father never did attempt to have a relationship with
you; and died at the hands of darkness with drugs and alcohol. The other knew you well but was damned from
the start born into a life of violence and taken out this year with violence
being with the wrong people, in the wrong place at the wrong time. All three young women need you desperately Father. All that I am because of the blessing you
held me even when I did not know you.
I pray you hold them close and fill them up with Godly sisters and
brothers reflecting hope and promise through you.
This world can consume us so quickly especially when we think we got this
on our own.
How many times I have given it all to you and pulled it back thinking I
knew what I was doing.
Truth is I need you more than ever.
The more I learn of you; them more I need you. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to
understand this Jesus.
Yes, you are there for everyone; however not everyone will be blessed to
accept or know anything of you.
For this in our free country; we are beyond blessed and I am beyond
grateful.
Even if; when things are beyond hard and the hurt cuts so deep. I know you are in control. You can move mountains; allow souls to
connect; fill us up with love from the inside out and bring us through the
darkest storms of life.
I pray all I am connected feel your love, mercy and grace and not that I
wish any storms on anyone; but feel your power, turn, and cling to you shining
the light of hope for all they cross paths or connect with.
This year is wrapping out quickly; and none of us knows really what
next. We have our best-laid plans. Some really good and growing forward; then
others just selfishly driven.
No matter what when it comes to my own; guide and protect me.
Please never stop directing my steps to remain accountable in you and
finding God Breathed resolution in all I do no matter what I do or whom I do it
for.
Lord, I am nothing without you.
Thank you for showing favor even during the unknown. When tomorrow never comes I know all that I
am will be with you.
While I am still here Jesus, I pray I learn to be and do what is pleasing
to you alone. I pray you surround me up
and show me the way.
For we all lead by example no matter what we are saying or doing; I pray
for all I am connected all that I ever can be. Leads back to you shining the perfect light
of Hope, Mercy, Grace and abundant Love.
No matter what!
Thank you for this day.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/
Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
As I crawl out from under the covers, knowing no
amount of thanks will ever be enough.
The best Christmas gift ever is the blessing to worship you openly
Father.
I think how blessed I was to be invited to praise
and bring the Christmas eve service and worship in at my church with other
beautiful souls. To sing the King of Kings with so much growing
talent and just feel the meaning in this song in general.
To hold on to the laughter of children as long as
we can, to be blessed with memories old and those newly made. To be given another new day to choose to
love and praise you Jesus.
The only thing in this world we are ever really are
sure of is that there will be suffering.
Suffering
of losses we can barely breathe from; losses that will never be replaced; the
brokenness all filled with the beauty and love from those we are blessed to
call family; friends and just spirits we forever love and will never get enough
of.
Thank you, Jesus, from across the universe and
back; you came to fill us up from the inside out when we sometimes hurt so
badly from all that is temporary in the here and now.
This year has been so full of twists and turns
and sure some we seen coming but our hope was not enough. Then others were just out of nowhere knocking
us off our feet barely able to get back up.
Yet when we dig deep into the foot of the cross
looking up at you Jesus; It is you alone that picks us up and carries us
forward in what our human state of mind gives up on.
Praise you Jesus; thank you for allowing me to
know you. Thank you for the freedom’s
and choices we are all given especially those you allow me.
Thank you for the moments in time. Thank you for allowing me to know what love
feels like; even when sometimes we just cannot touch it or fully understand
why.
The greatest gift of laughter and joy if only
briefly from those who do not yet walk with you. I believe everyone knows of you God. Some just may never get the significance to
really know, how much love and peace you truly allow during all the storms.
Yes, those storms that rage all around us; those
we added into the mix or created ourselves; those at the hands of others or
even those we just carry for others.
Happy Birthday Jesus; thank you for loving
humanity and allowing me and my bloodline and all those I am connected to
exist. No matter who I am or am not.
I am forever a child of the most high!
There are many Lord, that are having a very hard
time just trying to breathe today. For
so many reasons. Please send your
angels to help them through all the new normal ahead.
Guide and protect not only their souls and the
future days you allow. But show us how
to guide and protect your calling Jesus.
Show us all that has been planted in 2019 is
truly growing into your majestic garden of hope and light Father God.
Thank you for this day and gifts of love.
Please guide and protect my footsteps and my
heart through all my weakness.
Please always hold me close especially guide me
during those times when I have the bad habit of alienating myself when things
are hard or feel so much disappointment, I forget who I am in you.
Thank you then; thank you now and thank you for
whatever tomorrow’s you allow.

So they hurried off and found Mary and

were just as they had been told.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or
feelings):
Merry Christmas eve to all who read this; may the seasons greet you and all your loved one’s no matter what you are celebrating with love; mercy grace from God and the abundant hope in and with Jesus Christ. This day and all days yet to come.
May you purpose to find the peace and blessings right here right now right wherever you currently are. Not with any materialistic trinkets or need to chase what is temporary. Even if just for the air you breathe and the ability to know you are alive and have choices.
Thank you Father God; for the love and life you have given so we could have hope and live through your promise and hope through your son the Prince of Peace; Jesus Christ who shall reign forever more here on earth and throughout eternity with and for all who believe and dwell with Him.
You shall never violate one’s freedom of choices even if they are harmful and misguided. For this sin has captured the world of humanity beautifully broken and sometimes tragic for the innocence lost at the hands of darkness.
As I ready for this day, I am blessed not only for a new day of life; but to serve and praise for you, with you during this special season.
Though my some of my family does not understand how I can get up and just go praise with strangers; instead hangout and just do day to day. I had to remind them it is about our choices; and I choose you Father God. I pray their hearts will be softened yet protected; filled with boldness for all that is good and truly see and learn how to life with thankfulness of the life you provide and the choices we all get to make.
May we make them with and for purpose; in love and kindness. Courage to step out and go for all that is good while shining even the tiniest light of hope.
No, matter what; good; bad; tragic or filled with abundance of joy. What is in this world is temporary.
Your love Jesus; is forever! May my family be blessed with the love only they find in you from the inside out. Surrounded by beautiful God loving souls to grow forward. Not be caught up in what was; or who is doing what or even trying to justify why others do what they do.
Protection from all that is dark and harmful; for all who come through my doors; all whom I connect or cross paths with. Even when the harm is from their own choices. That would include me as well Father God.
Remind me of boundaries once again. However, 2019 is getting close to close out another decade; and I can look back and remember just how close I have almost lost me standing up on this roller coaster ride in life. You have always been with me; guide me and give me an accountability partner who is with and for you; showing me the way through working smarter not harder; yet still stepping up and out whenever I am truly able. Not just when my heart is playing out.
Surround me with those who truly love as you love Jesus; filled with courage, guidance, and strength, as you know every molecule and cell this being is made up with and for.
Thank you for all you have allowed me thus far in life; use my messes; my scars; and my hope to lead the way Father God lighting the caverns of this world with your promise. Without words; actions or deeds. Just in you!
Please guard and protect us Lord, even those who mock and reject you. May they learn who you really are be it they choose you or not.
Thank you for this day; thank you for your ultimate sacrifice and Love!
Wishing you all very Merry Christmas and to be filled with the peace only God can give.

May all I grow forward in all that is connected and pleasing to you Jesus.
May 2020 bless all I am connected with recognition love and grace through you alone. May all prosper and grow forward in healing and abundant life and light. Please grant strength and courage for all learning the day to day new normal as they fight the darkness that choices or lack of consume them into. Forgive this soul; guarding and protecting all I am and can be for your kingdom. May all that have wronged me know they are forgiven even if; even when.
In your precious blood, that gives us life. Thank you for this day of abundant opportunity.
May
the world truly come to know the blessings and what it means as written in Galatians 5:22-23 (ESV) 22 But
the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, 23 gentleness,
self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 And
those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and
desires.
25 If we live by the
Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.
Lord, it has been an extreme ride for 2019;
and as you remind me to keep my eyes, hands and feet directed to you. For which I am grateful; as I would have
fallen out and been lost for sure.
What
is broken can be replaced or mended in you; what you have removed you have done
so to protect those as well as myself.
For the love you have allowed me is just a glimpse of what is to come on
the other side.
I
pray 2020 is filled with your love from the outside in and touches all I come
in connection.
If
nothing else; know how thankful I am for the blessings and the lessons.
Amen

Verse of the Day (Biblegateway.com):
==== Luke 2:8-11(NIV) =====
And there were shepherds living out in the
fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord
appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were
terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news
that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a
Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.

When
they heard the king, they departed; and behold, the star which they had seen in
the East went before them, till it came and stood over where the young Child
was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly
great joy.
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young
Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had
opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and
myrrh.

Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise (the Messiah) from on high will dawn and visit us,79 To shine upon those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
To guide our feet [in a straight line] into the way of peace and serenity.”

It does not
matter who understands this or who does not…It matters what I was able to feel
from the inside out.
What a
beautiful service today; just the vibes and spirit consumed me. At one point that deep love and gratitude
that had me consumed last year overwhelming my spirit. My heart, my soul smiled. Feeling the love across the atmosphere;
filling me with the hope and blessings just to know we will be okay.
The sweetness
in one’s soul; no matter what is happening.
Truly a blessing from God then and an eternal blessing now. Thank you for the prayers and thoughts;
thank you for loving me.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or
feelings):
Father Thank you for this new morning. May each soul I connect with this day see light and hope in, through and for you.
May those who do not be protected from themselves and have protection from all others while they walk the path they are on.
May we forgive those who trespass against us; may we be forgiven for our own inequity and trespasses that leave collateral damage.
May your children boldly every moment we are given through you, fight the “Elements” @TobyMac https://youtu.be/pIR24ubUf0E
Thank you for all who have sacrificed their lives; their families; and even personal time to rest and grow in you. As they cover the globe day after day; spreading your word in love and harmony. Please guide and protect them now and always. May they rest in you alone.
Thank you for choices! We All get to choose. How we react; how we go forward; how we love or how we hate. Thank you, Father God, for the blessing of freedom of will and choice.
May your will be what consumes all I am and am connected now and always.
May no soul be left behind, lost to or in this spiritual war, we are all in.
Thank you, Jesus!
