1 Peter 1:18-19   (NIV)  @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

¹⁸ For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, ¹⁹ but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.

 (@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)

 “Rest in the stillness of MY Presence.”

Psalm 46:10  “Be still know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Romans 8:1-2    Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Rest in you Lord in times of trouble as the flood waters come rushing through all our lives and we have no anchor washed up on the rocks we land beaten and broken if we do not have you, we will not, do not survive.   Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) - Hillsong UNITED

 

 Even at times we do hold you close we find our minds and the worldly noise taking over to consume us before we find our way back up.

 

Those days I am under the weather and just not feeling what I should be reflecting.  Those losses, those scars pouring out for the vampires of the world to suck the life out of us if this is how we allow our minds-eye to see and think.  When we do not purpose to be focused on you the monsters will always get in.  Katie Sky - Monsters

 

 

All that is,  all that will be, is for my good Jesus. Somehow You Do @Reba McEntire

Be what may only we can say no, not think that way or this way.  

 

 We have been given freedom of will and choice, why would we think to listen to anyone but you.

Yes, that in this world we live leaves a wide-open free-for-all.  Interpretation and perception is in the eyes of each soul.   We all have us on version of what should be or is.

 

   Judgement though yes if we do not follow the rules here and now that are put in place to keep us safe and allow us to grow forward, we pay the price.   But final judgement belongs to the Lord.

 

It does not matter if my sin is bigger, worse, or different than yours.     They all add up and if we do not get our souls right here and now before it is too late, we will pay the ultimate price of suffering on the other side.   Through it all there is so much but even more truth that only you God can heal and allow us to really live.   Colton Dixon - Through All Of It

Faith over fear we must purpose to.   This world is crazy and if we think of all that can happen and let all of our phobia’s hold us back, we are forever frozen in time.

 

Paralyzed by all who have let us down or cut us so deep within at times we forget to whom we belong and breathe.   Jonny Diaz - "Breathe"

We forget to live the best we can for the one who allows us the very life we cannot understand, appreciate or even at times acknowledge.   

Or what about that which we chase the world and all that is in thinking it will be what gives life when in the end we never have enough or the very life we were chasing consumes us and we do all we can to numb it and hide from what hurts to live.

How if we have an image can we ever let anyone see the real you, the real me.    The truth that we keep buried in the depths; even when we belong to you Jesus.   Even though we are children of God we still get so lost and fall off the lighted path.   Zach Williams - Less Like Me

 

Yet all the while you are always there with your arms spread wide waiting for us to run to you.   Your hand stretched out waiting for us to grasp on.  Cody Carnes - Run To The Father

 

 Waiting for us to turn the noise of the world and all that we think we can achieve and listen to you.

The beautiful tones, tunes or even verses we do not understand playing out like instruments we enjoy and forget.    All those lyrics coming together with so much talent is so beautiful.  Leading us to hopefully Jesus, as your word is truth.   Blake Shelton - Bible Verses

 

Feeding the light into the world and the spirits so many lost souls starving and needing you.     It is more than that blessing of what makes the heartbeat again. 

It is what are we doing every other minute of any day we are given.  

Are we diving in?  Do we open the good book and try to understand what you say Jesus?

Are we carrying you in our veins when we walk out of church that once-a-week visit? 

Are we allowing all you are to flood the gates of life and pour into us with all those who are doing their best to be messengers of who you truly are Christ?

It is not the church building, though it protects us from the elements.  TobyMac - The Elements  Jesus is within us when we truly call upon your name every day allowed that we call you in Father God.

 

We may fall, we may stumble and get really dirty, but you will always carry us once we truly belong to you.  TobyMac On Your Own - Lost Demos

 Blessed a bride of Christ, daughter of the most high King.   Children of God we all are. Third Day - Children of God

None of us know what tomorrow will be.    May we know the difference to not be consumed and become collateral damage at the hands of what darkness eventually wins.

 

Teach us balance Lord.

May your chosen be the light to shine bright and help those who want you to find you.   It is you Jesus.     TobyMac - It’s You

 

 In our darkest moments of our own or at the hands of others; comfort us Jesus.

In the silent static where we are stuck in the spin; calm us Jesus.

Heal your children; guiding all to lean in on you and hold on tighter then ever before.   As we rise up and fall down.  May all of it have purpose in and through your will Jesus.   May we live, love, and celebrate the days we are given because of, with and for you.

The great spirits are entangled, the beast within us screaming to get out.  It is you Father God that spins the world on its axis.   

 You could change everything in a blink of an eye.  Yet your promises and freedom of will and choice allow us to choose what brings life or death.

Romans 14:11   (NIV)  @BIBLEGATEWAY.COM

¹¹ It is written:

“‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord,
‘every knee will bow before me;

 (@Jesus Calling 365 Devotions with Real-Life Stories @Sarah Young)

 “Keep your eyes on Me.”

Psalm 141:8  But my eyes fix on you, O Sovereign Lord; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.

Isaiah 48:17    This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:  “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.”

Psalm16:11 NKJV   You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Interesting morning Lord: taking the second vaccine yesterday and although no symptoms like many describe.  Perhaps because I have been pumping up on Tylenol every 4 hours to keep from fever, aches, and pains.    Absolutely a different kind of tired with that faint something is different in the background.

Thank you for this day no matter what it is and all those that have come before.   Thank you for the challenge to think and double check as I just feel good but off in a different way.

I will be spending the day in rest and resting this mind.    As I read through this morning “Not everyone you love will stay.  Not everyone you trust will be loyal.  Some people only enter our lives as a lesson or example of what to avoid.” @LoveWideOpen.Com

How each lesson through my time has reminded me of who I never want to be like.   Loving others through you, with you is the only truth in the end that will heal, give hope, and allow many more days of getting back up.

Thinking about the reasons why I took this vaccine and all the unknowns.  Knowing you are in control.  Knowing I am trying to do my part with deep hope you Jesus would have intervened for your children who stepped up for this if we were not supposed to do so.    You know all things.

Me ready to find that some sort of normal doing my part; diving in staying busy trying to be that one lesson no one else needs to go through to learn.

Feeling that love of those closest to me finally able to hug on those that has been too long.

Life is what it is until it is not.   Prayerfully we while making the best of it along the way work towards doing it selflessly learning how to turn off our selfish ambitions of me’ism that uses up all those that come along, in and out of our journey we are allowed.

 

It takes training and patience, and we have to become obedient to what we chase, what we follow, what we let in.  We have to stop playing that spiritual tug of war with you Jesus.   Please take this, please fix this; no wait I found a new way of what might work.    

Slowly that vapor fading away be it at the hands of my own demise in all that is meant for good or bad, selflessly, or selfishly.     At some point we all fade away back into the dust you formed us from. 

 

That dash in-between what you allow us in and out Jesus.     What we do with it, what we will be forgiven for, of or burn throughout the eternity we are left with when our time stamp ticket out arrives.       You gave us freedom of choice.

Please show mercy on those struggling to know how to stop the cycle, how to heal in you how to even know you are with them always.

Faith over fear.   Like that teenage lost kid walking through the inner city, she grew-up in at night and a major blackout takes over.  When suddenly one of those punk friends sneak up behind me walking thinking it would be funny to scare me.     I was always a fighter for survival and never letting anyone near me back then unless I gave in.

What about the girl that was pinned up against a church being beat up because at such a very young age she was sleeping around with other boyfriends?   

No not me, I was the mediator, somehow just in the right place at the right time to safe them from being beat to a horrible mess.    Not sure if they ever learned as later that friend, even married in a volatile marriage at that; ends up sleeping with the one I was living with for many years.

So crazy;  Forgiveness is a mighty thing!    Some people are just lost and their own worse enemies.   Thankfully, they are still living in the here and now and with one person that loves them beyond all the indiscretions: yet suffering horribly with health issues.

I remember so many years ago it seems when they begged me to forgive them and take the healing stone and give them a chance by praying over it.      

 

Me a lost soul myself not walking with you then; but what did they know when I forgave them and learned to pray it would bring me to the foot of the cross and needing you deep within this being to be anything Jesus!

All my life fighting for that truth and realness in all relationships be it me jumping in being a mediator for all those girls be it just too loose or those just at the hands of abusers because they had the bully control.

Something to be said being robbed from childhood and not knowing what life really should have been to know a mother, father and know someone was always there to protect us as children in our growth.

 

Not sure but guess this is where this mind maze is going today.   Thankful you never gave up on me Father.   

Seeing so clearly, I have never been on my own even during the darkest times that I never understood or should of, would of, could of moments in this life given.

You allow us your strength and courage with that freedom to change.   Even when we do not know to what or where.    And once we allow you in Holy Spirit nothing is ever the same!

No matter what you will never let go.    Even when so many in the world discard what is meant for beauty, love and indescribable joy used up bubble-gum.

 

I used to fight for having my significance in just someone.    That gap that a child yearns for from a mother and father, a lover from their life partner.    Just that which when they hold you; you are allowed to just exhale and rest and know that single second is a lifetime.    

Blessed to have realized that you Jesus are that glue that has put me together and held me tight leading me out of the darkness more times than not.

 

Those moments where you allow me to remember and see the light on the other end of each journey that did get dark.    Thank you!

For then, for now and for anything that may be.

May all I am connected know you, and purpose to learn and walk with you.   Heal this world Jesus for all the broken pieces not just an unseen virus.    Heal this land for the brokenness we each carry forth.

Heal all that I am for your will.  Love all that I am connected in your truth.

 

May we all want a love like you Jesus Love Like Jesus |Hyper Fenton & Moflo Music (Featuring Dr. Scott Fenton)

Thank you for this new day with again beyond deserving anything much less the ability of time and opportunity to lead by example, to just breathe, to be something more than just that which comes easy or what we think is free.

Unfortunately, it all comes at a price.   The price of obedience fighting forward to be something more than the hurt, anger or that just like everyone one or everything else that surrounds us.

 

I am beyond thankful that I find my way to you Abba!    All that I was, all that I am, all that I can be, and all that ever would possibly be without you is  non-extant.  You are the glue that holds me together no matter what that looks like from the world’s eyes.     Whole Heart (Hold Me Now) [Live] - Hillsong UNITED

 

There is much going through this tired mind today.    With that I need to take a break and regroup.

 

Taking the 2^nd vaccine today, looking around at all that still needs to be done.   Looking around at children in this world near and far that need more than a chance.   That need adults to lead the way and show them what it means to fight forward and not just for what they can be bought with.   Wondering just how that landing will be; or how did I end up here.

 

That one moment where nobody wins as I take my corner and regroup.

 

Father God you know all things over the coming minutes, days, weeks, months years.

Lead me!

Be with all I am connected, giving those without a conscious a wake-up call. Give those who are trapped in the spin of the lies, and whispers in the dark peace and light[KF1]  to continue on.

Bring healing and hope to all who need you now.

Be with your chosen, your children, your church.   Be with all they are connected as everything they are, everything they have, everything the touch belongs to you.

Flood this place for peace on earth and bring humanity back to simpler times.

Psalm 8:5 NKJV  For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honor.

 

Genesis 1:26-27    Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all creatures that move along the ground.”  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Romans 8:6   The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Thank you, Lord, for the beautiful red cardinal visitor today in my pool cage.   Thank you for the reminder someone is always looking out, someone is always watching.   I cannot even begin to imagine if the truth is someone in heaven is thinking of me and came to see how we are doing, who that would be.    We have lost so many beautiful souls far too early.    

 

Thank you, Jesus, for the reminder of peace and beauty and faith over fear. Thank you, Lord, for the reminder that you make all things new shining in abundance of beauty and purity. All Things New @Big Daddy Weave

 

  So many fires I have seen others go through, so many I have walked in.  Some making it out many not.  Fires @ Jordan St. Cyr

  Believing, trusting, and loving you Jesus; well, I cannot imagine who I am without you.   I wish I understood why it is so hard and takes so long for us to just meet you where you are? 

 You are in all things! It seems so cliché.

But a love like this I cannot imagine anywhere else. Love Like This / No One Like You (Spontaneous) / Break Every Chain // The Belonging Co   Even when I allow those small things to creep in.    Thinking how hard it is to not be me or more like knowing the balance of what to hold onto and what to let go when you alone Jesus brought me out of the desert.   Trying to hear the scream of stop child that is not your place.   All while so desperately wanting to hear well done my good and faithful child.

Through the depths of all these conversations with you Holy Spirit lead me through forever and onto eternity when it is time. I know me Jesus, and to whom I belong; I don’t trust this caring too much being, so I have to believe in you and let you lead. Spirit Lead Me (Lyrics) ~ Michael Ketterer & Influence Music

So many things I wish you would turn around Jesus and maybe you already have. Maybe it is just not my place to see it, be it or know it.   Maybe it is only time will tell.

 

  It’s the climb for sure that when we finally turn around and see no one was really with us but you it is the climb and all we have, have been and over come that makes us understand what really matters and what to hold on to.     Though this dreamer somewhere deep inside still waiting for that rescue so often talked about.   It is you that somehow, I know it is you working all things for my good.  Cochren & Co. - For My Good

When there were none, when there were many, when there is so much uncertainty, when there is so much beauty, pleasure and what seems to be perfect harmony.  When it seems, darkness is upon us and we will never escape, never break free.  Even then Jesus, I know you will never let us go.   Micah Tyler - Even Then

 Lord when we hold on to you, we find the full spirit with Christ Jesus and all his glory, beauty, courage, and strength in all circumstances.   Filling us with peace in all things.  

When we finally come to know you the abundant grace lives through us.     Why does it take so long to find ourselves willing to call upon your name?

 

If only I could blink and fix the world; yet here I am and even when I do fix pieces of me, I must  allow something else to break. Kierra Sheard ft. Tasha Cobbs Leonard - Something Has to Break  I can barely keep up sometimes unable to breathe; so, what would ever give me the right to try and fix anyone else or any of their things, their IT?     The day you blessed us with life and allowed us the privilege to think for ourselves.  I thank you beyond any deserving, Lord God!   That is a huge what were you thinking; but bigger thank you to have the ability to find you and seek your will, your direction while we get to choose. 

 

No amount of talent, looks, gifts, knowledge, self, or others will ever be enough.   No matter how high up we think we are; no matter how big we are; no matter how good or bad we have be using our time for.   We all fall down and the only one that will matter looking down at is Jesus Christ then, now, and always.   No matter where this mind maze takes me; this will always be.    BETHEL MUSIC - Ever Be

Thank you for all of IT Lord!     I do not know what is; I only know what was and what I allowed to be and that which just happened to touch me in the realm of some others tsunami waves.   May all your children know your presence, heal us and this land, Lord.  

Show us how to shine brighter everlasting now beyond eternity.  Here and now for more than just what people think of us; more than what we can give or have taken.   May each day given never be wasted.
