3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his

Exodus 16:14-20 (NIV) 14 When the dew was gone, thin
flakes like frost on the ground appeared on the desert floor. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?”
For they did not know what it was. Moses
said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat. 16 This is what the Lord has commanded: ‘Everyone is
to gather as much as they need. Take an omer[a] for
each person you have in your tent.’” 17 The
Israelites did as they were told; some gathered much, some little. 18 And when they measured it by the omer, the one who gathered much
did not have too much, and the one who gathered little did not have too little.
Everyone had gathered just as much as they needed. 19 Then Moses said to
them, “No one is to keep any of it until morning.” 20 However, some of
them paid no attention to Moses; they kept part of it until morning, but it was
full of maggots and began to smell. So Moses was angry with them.
Philippians 4:6-7(NIV) 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation,
by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the
peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and
your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 (NIV) 19 And my God will meet all your needs
according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Hebrews 4:16 (NIV) 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
How often do we Lord just not listen to direction and hear you speak?
How often we
must do it our own way, taking more than we need, doing our own way and not
seeking or following your direction.
Thank you,
Lord, for allowing the moments in this world where you allow us to just know with
you, everything is going to be alright.
No matter what is, where it is, when it starts
or when it ends. Father God you are with
those who allow you to be.
Psalm
46:10 (KJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will
be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth
Psalm
46:10 -12 (TPT) 10 Surrender your anxiety![a] Be silent and stop your striving and
you will see that I am God. I am the God above all the nations, and I will be
exalted throughout the whole earth. 11 Here he stands! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our
side! The God of Jacob fights for us! Pause in his presence
No day will any of us be worthy to be at the foot of your cross God: we are all truly broken, misguided fools. Sometimes more purposeful than not.
Yet you created us to worship your name. Created to walk in love and harmony with your Son Jesus.
Your blood shed to allow us life more than an existence in the here and now.
You give mercy and grace allow your spirit to flow through the veins of who we are right where we are.
Lord as we look up past all that we are chasing, all that we are doing to get there from here. May our eyes be on you.
The world full of hunters some boldly out there just openly being who they are not caring what will be for anyone or anything their choices wash over.
Others playing the part in wolves clothing, playing games, sweet talking. Playing out anyone and everyone. Making their way off others; all the while they have lost sight you Jesus truly have created them to be.
No not everyone is made to do that 9 to 5 job; just a not everyone was created for the front lines that are creating the needful for the many suffering at today’s silent killer.
We were not all meant to be healers, servers, cleaners, musicians, poets, storytellers, preachers, teachers and so on.
But we are all made in the likeness of you Father God; made to love and to use all that we are blessed with to the best of our abilities to bring light and harmony in the darkness.
We all have dreams, some literal others those which we seek so badly to achieve we make idols not caring what happens along the way until we get there. Only finding we are in a continuous cycle that will eventually slowly reveal the eternal burn of never being satisfied.
Eventually without you Father God for the means we took to get there that robbed us or others of the life; that you gave for so much more.
Jesus, it does not matter that some will stop reading or listening to my words when the truth is right in front of them; it does not matter if they walk away thinking they got this laughing. It does not matter that the great pretenders of this world think they are in control.
Father God rain down on us! https://youtu.be/eVEmHsVxjYQ “Let It Rain” @Eddie James
Let it rain, making all things new Jesus! What we have is not working, what we are doing is not changing anything. Let it rain, show us your will, changing lives right where they are.
We Jesus, are your lost children; even though we think we know exactly where we are and what we are doing. Father calm the storms, stop the worldly chess games where those that are really good at the hustle use so many for their pawns in their personal gains. Story tellers in their own right.
How unaware we all are when it comes to you Jesus; none of us are what we do.
Though we all may climb to the worldly top, thinking we have made it with the amount of what is in the bank account, fancy cars, and toys, homes and flash.
Have you stopped us here and now Jesus to show the world just what it is like to see that friend, lover, loved one; blood blessing called family? Showing us what it is like when we do not have anything or anyone to leave this world alone. All that is stored up washed away in a split second as the storm winds blow, all that once was important within the walls of what was called home; tossed out on a curb or driveway. As none of it can be taken with us when these vessels are no longer available.
What happened to stepping out and caring for those in harm’s way, protecting your children, the widows the orphans.
James 1:27 (NIV) 27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Perhaps I have been a dreamer for longer than I can remember only now openly disclosing it in back in white. I do not cry out why me any longer now that I know you Father. Although long before I met you; I was so very lost and hurt not understanding. But always wondered like that favorite song I always had as a go to as I was out having fun and singing karaoke https://youtu.be/K7UloVeCxTs “Grandpa (Tell Me ‘Bout The Good Old Days” @The Judds
I am a dreamer, sucker for the great romance in movies, the love stories in history where we can go back in forth in history and time and never lose pure connections.
Do we not know that it is only you Father God, that will give and allow such things?
Do we not know we have to purpose and should work together selflessly, doing all that we can along the way?
Do we not get it, just as Saul died, all will die unto the pit of fire, when do not keep the word of the Lord?
We can pretend all day long that we do not understand thinking if we do not commit, we will be okay by doing what we do, laying up with this one and that one. Lying, cheating, stealing, pretending.
Truth is if you know of the Lord, you are already aligned to be judged when your vessel no longer works.
I by far am one to cast judgment, although I perhaps have more reasons than any to become hard and fight forward for selfish ambitions. I choose not to be that like what the worlds says I should be.
Collecting back all that I have lost, given away or had stolen.
For I could be bitter and hard wanting to get even with every soul that even remotely reminds me of those who hurt, cut, and abandoned me from the day I was able to walk.
How easy it is to climb into the worldly sandbox to be and do just as everyone else seems.
How easy is it to live by excuse, chase what is temporary, turn my back on anything or anyone that does not trigger something good in my vision?
How easy can the bitterness set in because I truly have not seen or had that one thing I have always longed for.
Too choose, so long ago not to be like everyone else.
I choose to not go because everyone else is going, do because everyone else says it should be done, hate because everyone else does, choose or play in politics because those who I care about are passionate and get crazed one way or the other.
No, I am not turning my head, or lying down to die. Far from it.
I choose as I have so long ago to not conform.
Maybe just maybe the journey this life has been on; was to allow me to see the truth.
Surviving many lessons at the hands and choices of myself and others.
Maybe it just keeps me set apart enough.
Whatever the case; I know the blessings I have been given of life and how many times I came close to losing it.
To find Jesus, calling me out, picked me up and gave me this here and now to share.
My life verse although I may refer to it as my own stubbornness. Romans 12:2 (NIV) 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The day that I realized I was on my own in this world gave me the ability to survive; the day I met Jesus, I found myself and my life had meaning.
I need not be like everyone else in this world. I need not have what they have. And for that what crave in the depths of this soul, to just mean something, to be loved, wanted, forever from the outside in as Christ alone has me from the inside out.
Well the facts remain, although sometimes I allow myself to go in the total opposite causing myself to work harder not always smarter.
Knowing the choices of this world do not always eliminate the inadequacies and failures or ability to see the worth of myself or many different people, places or things of this planet.
I absolutely know, I will always need you Jesus!
Do I care too much; oh, heck yes. Sometimes my good intentions and following things that bring light or joy that feeds this light into this soul. Well I adore too much and others well just not enough. Spending too much time doing this or not enough in God’s word or doing that.
Fighting the elements yes one of the most meaningful albums in my time her in the twentieth century. Fighting my way to survive, caring too much for those that care only about their selfish reasons and ambitions. Still allowing my inner self to need to be realigned back in you Jesus as I find myself climbing back up off the floor. Not caring about material things, when I should. Just wanting something any connection to be real for truth not for need.
Yet here, when I care too much for what others play out. Fighting the unseen, and sometimes spinning far too much for that which should not matter.
The good Lord knows exactly what that means. Allowing me to find my peace in Him alone, and not turning away.
He has allowed this heart to always love and seek the good in everyone.
Just as He has allowed me to wait, and not believe in the pretense of other abilities to flatter their way through life taking all they can, while laughing their way onto the next.
God has allowed me to lock Him deep within this spirit and everything I am.
Right, wrong or indifferent. At this stage although it is never too late until we are removed from our vessels. No matter what I feel on any given day.
We all own our freedom of will and choice. I choose to know I am a child of God and belong to Him alone until He says move.
Not just for a few kind words, or a good looking or well-versed man trying to sweet talk their way through life. Not for the fun and excitement one brings with empty promises or radical harmonies and ways that draw attention.
Not for what someone says or does.
Did I plan to be right here right now? I can assure you like every other little girl. At one point in this life I dreamed of being rescued. Love ever after, that one forever companion that no matter what would always work together and through the good, the bad and indifferent.
Never did I ever think about how cruel the world can be, and how it makes people cruel and inhumane at times.
How some find no problem using and abusing anything or anyone in front of them.
Scars oh yes, I have many and thankfully so. It allowed me to find how great our God truly is.
Beautifully broken and put back together on God’s canvas, blessed beyond all deserving.
Still dreaming of the one, as I smile. Absolutely, but God will always be first in the days I am allowed.
The true light in all the darkness, or clarity in this world of chaos and pretense.
This may seem absurd to many or fully understood by others.
None of what the world thinks of me, truly matters.
For I am just a speck in this vast universe and outside of an occasional soul interested in connecting and walking the like journey I am on.
It is what it is until it changes, or it is not my time any longer. Who am I ? https://youtu.be/bvTz6k7cTIA “Who Am I” @Casting Crowns
Seeking Christ trying to find my way forever asking him when to stay and when to move.
I have nothing without God alone, just another soul lost in the darkness trying to find my way. Trying not to be consumed fighting the bitterness and all that the joy vampires of this world take from us as they continue sucking the life, laughter and peace from all God’s creation.
I am no angel, by far; I can show you my tattoos and reflect upon the stories of laughter and tears before I ever came to know who Jesus was. Dancing, singing, kissing in the rain; laughter and tears as that what was dedicated for a life ever after turned into pain. I did not walk away; that is clear and that is just insane. It was just the end to that moment in time, and all those foolish games.
Face down screaming in a drunken stupor what do you want from me, again and again. As you showed up God, sending your Son Jesus, allowing me to find my way through all the pain. Giving me revelations, where I will never be the same. https://youtu.be/FEn74zP1glQ “Revelation”@ Third Day
Not all prizes, gifts or things we bring to others, should be or are enough.
Just as your pet cat loves bringing captured treasures leaving them at the door proudly; as we humans sometimes freak out, as we must clean up and know this is just what they do.
We all want something from this life, from something or someone.
We all do what it takes to make us high when we are feeling low.
Prayerfully, we will all turn to God through His son Jesus Christ first; finding our purpose in what cannot be bought or filled up with any of the material things of this world.
Those things that in the blink of an eye during that perfect storm are gone forever.
Thank you, Jesus, for this day; no matter what comes. Right, wrong or indifferent; Thank you for all who have helped this spirit grow towards and with you. Thank you for all the life lessons, even those I am finding my way through.
Please Jesus, be with and guide all who need and/or seek you.
All your chosen!
Far beyond me Jesus, only God knows what is and is to come.
Hear all that is in this heart, hear all who call out to you bringing healing and comfort. Protection, strength and courage.
Truth and justice for those who are going through things we do not talk about.
Guide all I am and all I am connected not just me or that which flows the same blood.
May the laughter others cannot control as they are playing out or playing over others be silenced. May your truth reveal itself no matter how much it hurts.
May we bring back loyalty and respect for you God, for ourselves and for each other; for more than just covering our brothers back in the wrong but for all days where family once meant something.
Heal this world Jesus, stop this madness; may our front lines rest in you?
May we finally see clearly through you?
Thank you, Jesus, for this day, and all you allow me, if not for one soul turn to you and find the peace no other reason but knowing God is always what matters first.

Love so deep, warmth covering every inch of who we are, in motion that nothing will ever replace. Understanding of the sweetest rose blowing in the wind in your vast ocean of unknown. Love fierce, wrapping so tightly in the birth of renewal; forgiven and free in you Jesus Christ. Rage on planting the garden that no serpent will ever destroy for all our days.
Thank you, Father God, for the tunes, the harmonies and even the noise. For all understanding is far beyond me and all I will ever be only Jesus, knows why God allowed me allow me to be born of this world through trials, and journeys near of far; so removed yet so close born again in Christ and free.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/
Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you for this day Lord, that is right do what you are famous for God!
As all kinds of crazy things go through this rested mind today. From even those whispers from the darkness trying to get me to question why I am here and why I have given myself to you for so long. Over to the questions of why I allowed and let myself go. So, I would have that excuse of not being worthy of the world’s standards.
Truth can be pretty messed up; but I remember the last relationship I had after my divorce way back when. Still lost before I ever finally crashed at your feet. Engaged to a soul 12 years younger than I was. Oh, the jokes back then, even though he was absolutely of age and legal. Even though after four years I found myself physically throwing his immature nonsense and every belonging including furniture he tried to buy me with out into the front lawn. How I can smile now. But goodness gracious. The entire thoughts of how I got there, and my reasons well it is never what we assume I can assure you.
Smiling now; but there were some pretty intense moments back then, from putting up with his drunken misguided shenanigans. To the times when I finally really did need someone I was used up, played out and one angry soul.
How these memories come well we all need reminders of how far we have come and something to look back and smile at. We need to purpose to just breathe in the goodness even if we have to make it. Help someone else smile and laugh, lighting up the darkness.
https://youtu.be/KwX1f2gYKZ4 “Graves Into Gardens” @Ft. Brandon Lake | Live| Elevation Worship
Finding your way through any of the brokenness or paths that you feel lost forever on. Well there is nothing better than Jesus coming to the rescue. As we put so much into people who are human and let us down. But why because we put all these expectations on them.
Imagine if you had the ability to get inside truly get inside every soul’s head that you know . Like some kind of TV show. You’re looking at this big computer screen as you swipe right or left and reading their thoughts, memories and going through all those triggers that gave them all that instability that rubs off on those who love and care for them.
Going back into the archived folder of their mind seeing why they do things they do today or what are those true good or bad things that set them in to motion.
I said a few times recently, the objects in the rearview mirror are always closer than you can see. Same for all that is going on with any given soul you are connected.
So why do we encourage what we do not know, or why do we get upset over that which yes is wrong and hurtful even damning behavior of others.
Why do we do that wash, rinse and repeat cycle many times before we finally get it.
Not really a question I can answer, nor do I want any of you out there to start doing the analysis and giving me the answers for sure. I am sure I could be someone’s project if I allowed them into this mind maze. And truly none of it matters.
Not for me, not for you. If I kept count of how many times the good Lord has picked me up and gave me the glue, love to hold me back together. Well He makes all things work together that is all I can really say. https://youtu.be/OcDRp0zWGIw “Canvas and Clay” @Live| Pat Barret ft. Ben Smith
God is not finished with me or you yet! When what I seem to feel is foolish even if legitimate by the world’s standards. Or am, I really doing what is right; by hiding away from the world and opportunities to meet a Godly, wholesome life partner. I have to first come to terms that God reminds me often I am right where I need to be. If it’s not beautiful you Lord are not done with me, not yet anyway.
I know it doesn't make sense unless you dive deep into who Jesus is and what you truly mean to Him.
The ability to know love from the inside out and truly come to terms with love beyond all time and space. Eternal soulmates, no matter how near or far away it seems. The best is yet to come.
God, the keeper of all secrets in the depths beyond any lost abyss or mountains that touch the sky.
The story of and long before, being blonde by choice for many years into the time out that God still has under control.
No matter what, is, was or will be. Life began at the foot of the cross. So, what if I stumbled, before bowing down. Washed clean and held in the arms of Jesus, nowhere else I would rather be! https://youtu.be/kmnyPB_M4Kc “In The Arms” @Terrian
Avoiding my identity and worth for so many years before I was freed in the greatest love story that will ever be. Never really knowing who I was except what the world defined until one day I just woke up.
Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to know what truth and love really is. Knowing through the tears all the laughter from deep within.
Be it the memories of dancing with my sister as a nine year old kid dancing in the yard to “Woolly Bully” @Sam The Sham and The Pharaohs https://youtu.be/kmnyPB_M4Kc on the turn table and laughing our heads off, or all the steps taken on this journey. How I got from there to here, only you can answer Father!
You Lord are above all things and in control of then, now and any tomorrow’s we have. May we be filled with the love, laughter and mercy only you can give. May we learn to reflect the same kindness and strength you allow us; to those around us.
Though we may drift away over time forgetting, getting lost or just drifting away. We will always be blessed in and with you and all the music you allow to feed our spirits Jesus. I want to get lost in all you are Jesus, and “Drift Away” @Dobie Gray https://youtu.be/OnDu1HHOo78
This world will always have a way of taking what is good and twisting it and making us doubt at times; or making us feel insignificant more than not. But life is a vapor, just blowing in the wind. We will do much that means all that you want us to reflect and not even know it; just be being who we are and other times we will become masters of disguise thinking we are in control and have it where it needs to be. Never really knowing what IT means until time has passed.
We will see your creation destroyed or even destroy itself. Without just cause for any of it. Many will give up and give in; quit. Masking all they are going through with anything they can do or get. Many will just remain numb. Many more will dig into you and hold the ground of truth and promise. Even when they fight the boundaries of uncertainty to the end.
You Lord alone, fill us with the spirit of power,
self-discipline, that allows our messes to become messages of hope and freedom
in you for all the world to see. No matter how crazy or accepted that is
to the world.
2 Timothy 1:9-10 (NKJV) 9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not
according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was
given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, 10 but
has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has
abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
No matter how many memories, how many tears of joy or pain; thanking you daily Jesus for allowing me up will never be enough. For the life, for my blessings of children, for my mistakes and corrections. For almost, no, maybe and all yes’s! For my connections, for my family, blood and just those who have been there near and far. For all the days you have numbered.
My prayer is all I have ever connected; all I will connect and all that I am. Know what it is like to fall in love with you Father God. With the blessing of all that is unseen. All that will never be out of reach. All that is the greatest love story that will ever be. Healing, and power in your blood that washed me clean. Waiting for all to come to the cross, to Jesus Christ the Prince of Peace. The place where mercy reins and never dies! “At the Cross (Love Ran Red)” @Chris Tomlin https://youtu.be/Zev5tHjCB_s
Who I am or what I do will never need to make sense; for it is God alone that heals all that is broken, stops the panic in all the unknown, and allows us up to breathe in the beauty and promise in hope of all that is good through His love alone. Peace in the loudest crashing waves during the storms, wars and turmoil of consuming darkness of unknown whispers and lies.
May we all know the truth for whatever is ahead in and with you Jesus. John 14:6 (KJV) 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
I remember when I lost my mind so many times but it’s okay no matter what you think these days. For no one has ever been here but the one sustains this soul. Maybe we are all crazy, maybe not. No matter what have faith and believe in the one that created the stars and moon and holds this great universe. But if you choose to allow Jesus in. No there is no greater love or peace than that at the cross of surrender.
Maybe I am Crazy, “Crazy” @Gnarls Barkley https://youtu.be/-N4jf6rtyuw
maybe it’s just the world around me that has gone mad. One thing is for sure; this is far bigger than what is in front of us. It is time to truly forgive that simple in black in white. Yourself, those who have wronged you. Praying they too are washed clean in Jesus Christ. Seeking your own forgiveness through the Father. For all your sisters and brothers. Purpose daily going forward to do your best at doing what is right.
Each day is a blessing with so many opportunities. Stop wasting it on would of, should of, and could of’s please. Stop giving yourself away just because its free, its easy. By now you have figured it out if it was worth the price, you would never have to keep paying it over and over. Jesus died and paid it all for us, so we would not have to. Just choose to dig in, learn and believe in all that is unseen; all that God meant to be!
Have a blessed day or evening wherever you are or end up. Be a good human, love, respect, remain loyal to truth and hold tight to the moral compass. If you set it down; today right now is the time to pick it back up and turn the light on for all that is light and harmony. Grow forward in God, the Father; Jesus Christ the Son and allow the Holy Spirit to fill you up with peace and abundance!

Daily Journal/Thoughts/
Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thankful for these scars, thankful for the rain coming
down, thankful for the imperfect me placed in your perfect reach and mold
Father God. Thank you for this new day and all that is ahead.
Even those things I have no control and drive me crazy for or by others.
May this day count Lord for all I step into; may this day
count for all you allow up in the here and now. May none of us,
especially those of us who know you personally; may none of us just go through the
motions to fill the gaps with bad behavior and easy choices.
Carrying on just to get by will not do Jesus. Guide my
entire household, bloodline and every connection I have been blessed to have in
these years alive. Not just those I like, every single soul good, bad or
indifferent. Giving purpose and conviction with that moral compass
in hand and motivation like no other. May every ounce of breath and
strength come knowingly through and from you Jesus.
Even when we are down for the count. May this new
day no matter how low the valley or mountain we are stuck at right here right
now. May you shine bright where we see nothing else but the will of
Jesus Christ.
It will never be easy but in this world none of us were
ever promised easy. In fact, when we get back up saying Hello Future, Let
It Rain. There is nothing sweeter than that of your mercy everyday
Jesus.
Objects of yesterday are always closer than they seem in
any rearview mirror. But we have the power through it all in the
freedom of will and choice to have Jesus breathe life into us and grow, fight,
crawl or run for that matter directly towards all the unseen hope, and great
faith that allows us to love.
Never will that be easy; in fact, for every time we show
love, and someone opens old wounds or creates new; pouring that bittersweet
poison over us as they walk away laughing onto their next play.
Just know this; if you are still getting up; take that mess, pain and
whatever and say thank you for allowing God to use me and show me what I am really
made of.
Dance in the storm, love in the son!
Heal with Jesus deep in your spirit. No, it will never be easy, but believe and never give up, never give in for what does come easy. When times seem impossible, so much pain, hurt, sickness or being so alone your invisible and what does it matter. It all matters, and those lies that you can’t are just that lies.
Look around there is nothing you are going through that God himself did not already see coming. So, times are hard, people are hateful and dangerous, kids are lost and starving and so much innocence is being taken from this world by Satan’s army.
Everyone has an opinion; everyone has the answer. Everyone plays on our weakness; beauty of this world is what seems to be external until it is used up and destroyed then tossed to be picked over by the vultures of this world.
Stop believing you need what they have or offer. Yes, we must work and do our part; and kindness is not an option. Kindness, love, respect for self and all you connect is a must.
Parents cannot make that unruly child be a teenager or one who is grown stuck in teen years. Do anything if they do not want to. All we can do is pray. We cannot make anyone be loyal to us; we cannot make anything, or anyone ever truly love us.
Where when we walk out the door the plans change for whatever they are thinking they need to get by in their own mind, time and space.
Don’t change who you are to be for what someone else says you should be.
You know that convincing talk by any woman or man with all those empty promises and how great it would be great if you did this, you did that, you looked like this, looked like that.
Stop giving yourself away for who you are created to be, just to appease and be used up by others of this world.
If someone truly cares about you, if someone truly cares and wants to be with you. They will love you for you; they will not demand any change.
They will help you flourish for just who you are meant to be in the eyes of God.
That does not mean getting educated, learning, growing and being involved in what serves God’s purpose won’t happen.
But never let someone force you to do or be anything you are uncomfortable with that is degrading and forever changing your beliefs. Don't put your moral compass down just to fill a void or what you feel strongly as a need.
Don’t sell your soul for what this world gives when it is all temporary. None of us know when we will be taken out of this world. One or one-hundred or anything in-between.
Far from perfect I will always be, but I can assure it was not until I allowed Jesus in; that I could truly see.
I don’t always want to feel; just keeping it real. People you believe in cannot believe in themselves; watching them destroyed, taken and never knowing if they truly made it to heaven or hell.
Desperately spending my entire life just wanting to be loved truly someone’s one and only, just really be loved from the outside in as Jesus loves me from the inside out all to himself.
That sweet soul, soulmate you know. Always with you no matter where you go. That someone to talk, laugh, cry with, dancing here in earth and throughout eternity and the skies.
I can only imagine what it will be like to meet Jesus when we come face to face. He knows every reason why I am this being. Thrown away from the day I was born, left in the hands of those taken out early or doing me harm. Yet here I am without bitterness, sometimes so weak others beyond strong.
Jesus wants that one on one, every day with anyone of his daughters or sons. Get going, don’t walk this is when you run!
Stop looking for love in all the wrong places; step up, step out in faith walking towards all that is pure. Even when you cannot get it right. Stop creeping in the wee hours of the previous night. Stop looking at your phone look at your babies in direct sight.
Stop being angry and give it all to Jesus Christ!
I wish I had the magic answer, twitch of the nose. You know that I dream of Genie would be an amazing thing right about now. Oh, so many things I would do to change this world of here and now. All I got is my prayers and words that come. Staying true to self and the one who I surrendered who saved me when nothing in this world could, nothing I could do not even for even myself.
Father God, thank you for this sanity of words coming for release.
Thank you for every day I am given even all those very long nights.
Prayers Jesus for this world and all who you call your own.
Prayers for all who are lost, all the healing that truly will make the everlasting difference and not just a show.
Prayers for direction in our steps, prayers we do not give up as you are far from being done yet!
Just as you use moments and your chosen. Father God, Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit; come down heal this land and all that are in it. Let the lights shine bright for all who call upon you. Show us where to go, when to stay. Show us how to step up and stand helping those who cannot. Or even those who do not know how to start even when we can.
If tomorrow never comes; let it be you on our exit that we full force sprint towards before it all done.
Thank you, Jesus, for all, and what feeds this spirit. To be held, this is what it feels like allowing me to just lean in with you!

Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
There may be
somethings better out there but for me; awaking another day, the sun shining
and hearing his promise of Yes and Amen. No matter what we are
feeling, what ailments, aches, pains. Mind, body or spirit. Our God
is good, and He will never let us down.
If we cannot feel Him (Jesus Christ) or feel the blessings it is because we choose to not dig in, believing in all the unseen faith and hope with his love, mercy and grace.
Perspective is everything and although even for me this is not the best of times. Cooped up nowhere to go in a house with humans that know of God but not believe and have that personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Where all I can do is pray and lead by example while remaining human myself and not walking around judgmental or hypocritical. All the while holding on to my own concerns of what if’s and what next. Including each time one of them walk out that door what will they bring back with them.
All I can do is pray and trust in Jehovah Jira the Lord who will provide. Far more than catching a virus or any other illness. But where is our future if we dig into it and all the stuff that surrounds us. As reminded in today’s devotional. “TRUST ME, and don’t be afraid. Many things feel out of countrol. Your routines are not running smoothly. You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let Me lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Taking refuge in the shelter of My wings, where you are absolutely secure” @Sarah Young
Waking up and down starting at midnight and continued all night. In-between waking and dozing, reading everything I have in line for plans right now but not able to get the book of Matthew out of my mind; unable to shake why was the book of Matthew in my mind, so I start reading unable to keep my eyes open. Even going as far as at 4 up and dressed for work but knowing I won’t be worth much if I stay up. So, I start listening to the Bible audio version when I realized waking back up at 6:30 this morning. Picking up in Matthew 17 where I left off last time reading at some point overwhelmed in peace at some point and waking knowing no matter what.
Jesus has this! One of the many other devotionals I was reading reminded me whatever is going to happen we get to choose. How we react or respond, in visual, body language, words. All matter for our own well-being as well as those around us. Even if we are not where we want to be, not being treated fairly or even being healed as we think we deserve we should be.
What will the decisions you make bring out? "Is it going to bring out the best in me so that I can be blessed and in return a blessing to those around me?” No matter if they are feeding my spirit with positive life speaking actions and words or not. It all starts with each of us individually. And that in itself is super hard and challenging on some days like lately; and easier when things are going well, and I can feel the vibes and blessings of all those Yes and Amen God promise moments. My entire life has been assigned full of various battles at various levels. Daily distracted, often confused and sometimes so caught off guard by not understanding why I have been totally derailed.
If I hold onto even what is in that small rearview mirror, even while knowing although so long ago still closer than it seems. To today and anything that transpires. Well I could easily be down for the count.
I choose to fight forward getting back up; no matter how imperfect the days are, or I am for that matter. We are not meant to just lay down and take it. We were made to stand up in courage, faith and the strength of God and keep doing my best with whatever I am given; growing forward for the greater things that await.
It does not matter if on the other end of that hope it is all doom in gloom. But I believe be it here or on the other side of eternity. It is far greater than we will ever be able to imagine.
We are all going through it. That it can be described in a million ways; be it unemployment, homelessness, illness for ourselves or those we love, let downs, deceptions, things we never planned, trust, addictions, loss of what we thought was everything.
That is just what seems to be normal day today in this world we live. Layer it up with a pandemic unseen virus and corrupt government and those in power making medical decisions using the lives of those impacted by the virus or the first responders that are putting all they have as good humans to serve those in need.
All of us are impacted; leaving me to be thinking about how close we could be to one of those sci-fi movies I always loved to watch.
We are all in this together, I choose to keep trying to get back up and feeding my spirit with all that is good and positive. Doesn’t always work, especially I have always been labeled a foolish dreamer.
I see beautiful colors and try to find the good in everyone I connect; and well although I may be slightly gullible those who live in the world disagree it should not be a problem if they choose to hold conversations dropping the f-bomb or any other volatile conversations.
We can only choose what we will tolerate and when you have those closest to you family or friends. You know those that you sometimes feel trapped or stuck with because their beliefs or choices that do not line up with ours. You never have to be disrespected ever! You never need to tolerate being bullied and if you live in their place you need to learn the respect and how to gracefully walk away from what can turn out toxic.
You do not have to be all lovey and smiling agreeable to everything someone puts in front of you. It’s okay to be kind yet have your own perspective. Dig in, get under earbuds, headsets. Lose yourself in positive harmonies no matter if it is music, devotionals, movies, conversations. Whatever you need to do; feed your spirit keeping the positive alive. Taking time to mediate and do devotionals finding who you are and who you are with and in the eyes of Jesus Christ.
Find your Happy and Own your Journey no matter what, or where.
We are all in this together; be a good human beyond just doing nice things. Dig deep and secure your eternal future.
The wars are real, the spiritual battles are in full force with doubt, fear, anger, hurt all of that and more. Even if you don’t feel the love of others; love yourself enough to know Jesus went to the cross and died for us in love taking on our sins that would and have come. To give us life everlasting.
Believe what you must; believe in yourself. In love, show the grace that is shown to you and if it does not show others how you are or can be.
Anyway, my mind maze dump for this day. Much love, and prayers for all. None of us are promised tomorrow. Share your positive vibes no matter how far away they seem. When things are hard, keep praying harder. God always hears us. Have a blessed day or night wherever you are in this upside down world.

Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my
perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you Father God,
for being in control of the time and space with all the in between. None
of us know what the future holds and many if not most forget to acknowledge you
for all the blessings big or small of the past.
Thank you for this day, for this mind maze and the roller coaster waiting at the top of the tracks.
If only we could all start right here right now just giving thanks for this new day you allow us up with air in our lungs, movement in our bodies, sight, hearing or whatever even the slightest allows.
If only even in the dark moments, we forget and say it is not about me and I am thankful for even the briefest moments of yesterday.
Many are on edge, as I find myself sometimes without trying. Forgiveness sought after and given is a must on any day. Holding the tongue when the frustrations consume you as you try to make some understand not everything is about them even if they want it to be.
Stress, anxieties, we all do not handle the world the same; especially when you may be the only faith-based Christ follower in the bunch. Knowing of God and being in relation with Jesus is far different than saying you know of him but refuse to commit to a relationship.
I cannot judge, I cannot turn away, however I can only pray my way through this continue in silent prayers for the choices one makes, and that they do not negatively impact the children or future in this dark world.
Listening to those who are friends of family, and they proceed to bring stories of why so many high-powered governments and well known highly paid actors, and people of power due to money are all in and tied to this conspiracy coming out. All tied to an ongoing child sex ring and the big Epstein recently jailed on charges and taken out to keep quiet. With this virus being the top of all reports going out to silence the darkness of all involved and just how many we looked up to are truly dirty and dark. How awful and the price being paid by millions regardless if it is or not.
Oh, dear Lord it has begun. Just as the Wisconsin based Three Square started microchipping its willing employees to no longer needing to carry cash or cards. Now they can pay with the implant. Or how about getting to a point where once free America will soon be forced to no only stay inside but forced to take vaccines for this virus that had a patent years back before it was ever released into the population and killing millions across the world as we once knew it.
Yes, long before the 2020 shutdown and the finger pointing of who released this evil. It was in planning with patents and research. Yes, those who supposedly have a cure were part of that just as they were in previous times. The question is what can be done about it; when the darkness is consuming the world as we know it.
Never knowing who or what to believe in this world we live.
I am not screaming doom and gloom; as we all have to make the best life, we can with what we are given or learn to make. Right here, right now not getting caught up.
I swear, I remember hearing about the 1951 broadcast “the day the earth stood still” and I feel like I am in a twilight zone episode. Unfortunate or fortunate I have already read the full Left Behind series many years ago.
None of us really know what will be up next, only that the world is truly going to show it is gone mad. Selfish, bitterness will rise up as it always does. Not enough people that truly care and want to make a difference will. Our losses are already tremendous, and we will lose sight the battle of good and evil has already been won.
Instead the insanity of all that is temporal will rob, steal and starve the hopes and dreams that God set in to motion for good.
That little black book that anonymous is digging facts up and releasing and all the theories of all the top players are part of this from Opra, Tom Hanks and to who knows who else.
I believe the darkness has always been there, I have always believed top dogs with the most money and their pit crew of doctors, lawyers, musicians, law enforcement; well you get it.
They all have their own games and reasons for playing. Even at the expense of other peoples and especially children’s lives. When darkness and power come together, nothing but evil transpires. When the light shines bright and it will, and everyone eventually reflects the truth.
Sometimes the one who is thought to have the power to reveal and play out his hand, is taken out. That is a fact in every realm of this universe.
Kings and kingdoms will fall down.
As I shake my head not in disbelief that any of this can be true.
But in awe that so many are willing to chase the darkness just to be aware, just to share what is and why things are happening. So, few will chase Jesus Christ, and even many more who have also been in the playing field pretending to be Christ followers or real Christ followers, will allow the world promise them and live for what is temporary because they cannot bear the thought of what ifs and letting God guide them.
I have no answers, far from it. I do not even know truly how or why I was chosen to sit and even mention the name of Jesus Christ and talk about the blessings I have been given and allowed to reflect on all that what was and could have been to what is and will be.
Or how I am not falling apart knowing I am the only immersed believer for my family.
I can tell you how heavy the world feels at times. How alone yet at peace I am, or how I am tied in knots when my daughter is having anxiety attacks and losing it. Or the fear of what may happen to children and grandchildren of this world.
Alone at times wanting to give up yet at peace. I do not have to watch the news or go digging into the world that has a truth and lies about everyone on this planet.
Being grounded not having a routine well that is torment enough. What is next, only God knows. Because even if any of what is being openly revealed the powers that are at hand, will be until they change. And even then, what we have always known will come to be.
Nothing has ever been free. Someone is always using, abusing, selling someone out. Someone else is always selling their souls to what they believe will give them great things or greater power to rule the world.
I personally lived in darkness and learned to survive with the help of someone far greater than me. No matter how many more days I am allowed up and hear the birds or just find that new normal. I will continue to do my best and hold tight to faith and dying to self for abundant love knowing the grace and mercy I have been shown in this world. Even when it hurt!
Still in awe by butterflies and the promise of new life after the darkness. Anything can happen, you can bet your very last breath of any day on that.
For me it is the peace that even while shaken and alone here in now that fills me is more. Then anything temporal this world gives and takes. Blessed to have been able to make choices just like every other soul alive. Sometimes good sometimes bad. Blessed to be on the others side knowing more than ever whom I belong and for what has saved this soul.
So, no matter what is revealed; I pray the truth shines brightest. The strength for all it needs to hold to what is good, what is pure and what is moral. Rise up and protect those who cannot.
We know even if this current pandemic was just something that was to be and no man had anything to do with it; in the end our greed and desire for power will battle for the office of who will rule this world.
All kings and kingdoms fall. Good, bad or indifferent. Me I will still continue to avoid the news and limit any conversations of internet news I have no control or ability to even if true have a thing I can do. I would absolutely be the first to say line em up! For anyone that does harm to Gods children. Anyone in action of doing harm; we need not be documenting and recording for the world to see. We need to bring justice and end the madness and suffering of all those who are in the hands of evil. Praying God’s will for what action we take or what action He will take. Survival in this land of oz; is a must. As it will be harder now than ever before, as the world and its dictators spew rules and regulations, with unknown killers in the air.
When you find your place broken, sad not wanting to go on. Dig in and dig deep knowing you are created for more than what has been or what will be. Put the armor of God and stand up for something positive and for all those who could not and cannot.
God is with us wherever we go; and no matter what you think of Jesus; nothing can change that or the peace he fills you with even when. Because if no longer counts in the world as we know it. When it is what that comes next?
What you choose to do or say next is the path to your eternal heaven or hell. Prayers of Peace, love and joy on this day and any tomorrows we all are given.

Thank you for this
new week starting Jesus. May we fill the airways with healing and
negative release. Giving those on the front lines fresh air to
exhale while breathing in you.
As I walked outside to drop the trash for pickup this morning and already at 630am it is 80 degrees with something brewing in the wind. May you quiet the storms Father God. Physical and spiritual.
Give us direction, allowing us to protect the littles and needy. Though we should all want what is best for every soul we are connected. I know we all get to choose and sometimes those we are closest do not choose you! We cannot force love, Jesus or anything else on anyone. I can only pray for the wisdom and strength to continue growing forward with and in you. While begging for protection of the littles that are left in this world in harms way.
Even those who expose the darkness sometimes seek pleasure out of what is wrong and unjust. May we be purified Jesus and honestly, I do not know that that means or looks like.
So many going through stuff they do not understand allowing their unhappiness and anger to ripple out to all around. Yet not once turning to you to work it out. So many just filled with pure darkness. Those who think they have this and those who force their ways on others.
Lord just like this virus you are everywhere and unseen. But you are here. Wash us all clean Jesus.
Take back this nation. If not show your children what next. Which is certainly not 15 minutes of fame, filled with material abundance all the while we throw our lives away to the lies and dirt in Satan’s sandbox. May your people have the will, strength, courage and wisdom you did Jesus.
May we learn to truly love one another and not just for personal pleasure and abusing the power the worldly possessions allowed us to have. Though we are not to judge, may the Epstein’s, Bundy’s, Manson’s and all those without the fame. Be brought to justice. May all who hurt and do harm to innocence stand before you now. May the elderly, children and all the disabled who need someone to stand up for them. Be protected and suffer no more.
May those pure of heart, seeking you and the light that shines brightly be guided and protected through your mercy, grace and love.
We know we can; we just must seek your face, Jesus! No one will bring us anything. We must open our eyes, our hearts and stretch wide in hope, faith while digging in for all that you are.
Holding on tightly for the ride of our lives. Brushing off each time we are chipped away, knocked down or shattered. In Christ alone! Nothing or no one will ever do.
Thank you for this new day, start of a new week. Guide protect all those I love and am connected In your mighty name. Then, now and any tomorrows!
Romans
15:13 (TPT) 13 Now may God, the inspiration and fountain
