(Biblegateway.com) Bible Verse of the Day
13 No temptation[a] has overtaken you except what is common to
mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted[b] beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted,[c] he will also provide a way out so that you
can endure it.

“I AM LEADING YOU ALONG THE HIGH
ROAD, but there are descents as well as ascents. In the distance you see snow-covered peaks glistening
in brilliant sunlight. Your longing to
reach those peaks is good, but you must not take shortcuts. Your assignment is to follow Me, allowing Me
to direct your path. Let the heights
beckon you onward, but stay close to Me.
Learn to trust Me when things go “wrong.” Disruptions to your routine highlight your dependence
on Me. Trusting acceptance of trials
brings blessings that far outweigh them all.
Walk hand in hand with Me through this day. I have lovingly planned every inch of the
way. Trust does not falter when the path
becomes rocky and steep. Breathe deep
draughts of My Prescence and hold tightly to My hand. Together we can make it!”
John 2:19
Philippians 4:19
And my God will meet
all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light and
momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs
them all.
Habakkuk 3:19
The Sovereign Lord
is my strength; he makes my feet like
the feet of a deer, he enables me to go on the heights
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank you, Lord,
for the dreams, the love, and the courage that Martin Luther King had and
although gone too soon, gave his life fighting to teach us lessons of unity in
peace, forgiveness, and equality.
We all have our
dreams and desires, but many will not save the future or mankind. Many will not lead the way in equality and
not just for proving I can do something just as good if not better than the
next person.
Today as I fiddle
around my place I am reminded as the company I am blessed to be employed by recognizes
this holiday.
I wonder if our
Nation will ever get past the unrest it currently spins in. This time, this season, this chapter in all
the history books far more than fighting for equal rights.
Our nation has
protest for everything and even when the voices are heard, for some reason the
significance is not changing the world for positive growth.
We are all out
here proving something, all out here fighting for our way because we try to
prove that our free choice matters. Even
when we do not go back to the beginning to include Jesus in the mix for the truth. That which without God, without Jesus there
would be no freedom of choice. There
would be no humanity.
Lord this world
not just in the Nation I live, but the entire world needs Peace and
healing. I pray there will more Martin

EVERYTHING ALWAYS
TIES US BACK to JESUS, always back to the beginning of time. Although we in humanity forget without
history we would not be here today.
Either of and with his message of hope and love; or of the demons unleashed within the darkness for
all who choose everything else but God.
Not everyone was
good and yes, this day of celebration for the efforts and strength MLK took to
the streets, took to the world. Giving
up any possibility be with what many consider normal and unbothered. He did it with purpose, within intentionality
and with faith and hope all while believing in the God that is bigger than any universe
will ever be.
I know we are in
the 21st Century so why is this mind maze not recognizing those who
even this year went down in history.
And what about other great men that still are out here doing their best
in giving life, sharing hope, sharing messages that allow us to never give up.
I have a long
list of those when it comes to spirituality, music, or even radical change that
no one else remain steadfast and work through the errors of humanity and hold
true to what Jesus intended.
I am blessed to
be alive in an era where we get to choose and stand up for what we
believe. Where if women want to go
prove they are just as equal as a man they can; if they wish to throw
themselves to the wolves and be chewed up like a piece of meat they can. Where Men can choose to hold on to the
promise and not falter leading the way.
Where men can choose to dive in and be like the rest of the world or
stand tall in leadership, love and purity loving God and loving people as Jesus
does.
My perspectives
and mind dumps surprise me too at times.
Although I myself
am not one to be told what to do and hold minimal trust in humanity. Some more
at times than others and some extraordinarily little.
It is days like
this in remembrance through all the hypocrisy what such souls as Martin Luther
King lived for and died for matters.
What Jesus from
the beginning lived, taught, suffered, died, and lives within us if we allow it? All matters.
Our world needs
healing and although it may sound like a tulip fest with a bunch of hippies’ peace-loving
humans have their own view of love and harmony as they drop acid and get
crazy.
We need healing;
we need more radical change; we need more hearts in action of Martin Luther,
Billy Graham in our 21st century.
We need to learn
to disagree without destruction.
But now that I
think of it, we need that desperately in our own homes with our families; with
significant others; with our children.
We need to remember
what loyalty and respect mean. We need to
teach our children such things. Yet instead,
we read in the news where so much hurt and anger has transpired it has become
more than fighting for one race or the other.
We have to step in and save babies from monsters.
The world has
become a cultural cesspool of give them this pill or justify that action
because they do not know better.
No big surprise biblically
speaking. It says in the Bible children
will dishonor their mothers and fathers.
And Lord knows there have been decades of minds where grown people think
it is their right to do what they will with young or weak humans.
But at least for
awhile those souls such as Dr. King; stepped up in faith and proved to the
world that God never intended for the world to be this way.
That we are all
made for more and all worth far more
than those who get on power trips just because they can and destroy and shatter
lives.
Oh well; yes, a
deep subject! However, knowing and
feeling blessed that as a woman with the ability to read, write, speak, and
act. How blessed I am to be allowed up
another day. Not without my own
shattered dreams or pieces of me stuffed back and forcibly fit into this mosaic
image on a little speck of the canvas in a world created by someone for
something far greater than I will ever be able to envision.
No matter what
dreams or aspirations I may have spin; no matter what I can or cannot do. I know if we are here, we have a greater
purpose through any pain the world and those we are connected give or we make.
I know that
despite what I cannot; there is even more in Christ I can. You can!
From all the biblical
mercenaries, leaders right up unto the 21st Century were more and
more we are disgraced or embarrassed those given the talent and gift to lead let
humanity down.
We get to make a
difference. It starts with you; it starts
with me. It starts in our home it starts
on the streets.
Can we not fight
the good fight for what allows life now, life in the future?
I don’t expect
anyone to ever agree with me, this is pieces of me. My thoughts pouring out.
The same soul that
seeks that unconditional forever. The
same soul that craves a love filled by a man called Jesus.
Nothing in this
world is promised easy, free, and even pain free.
But it is known
we matter; we are created in the image of God and we get to choose.
I pray healing
and we choose to be more like those who dare to try and make a difference for
Love, Mercy and Grace.
Remember it
starts with you and me~
STARTS WITH ME
