Prayers (Thinking out loud)
Dare to be different and not fit into that worldly
mold that says you must be this way or that way to be anything at all. I have always dared to step out and be my
own even if I do get caught up in some like patterns every now and again. I am always me and nothing in this world
defines who I was created by or how, or even the why.
I may never understand half of what is or is not;
but I know God created each and every living soul with his own hands, mind, and
spirit.
The world is His giant canvas, and we are the
colors and clay that he designed then gave free will. We are the choices that make things so abstract,
hard to visualize or even be at times.
We make His beauty into one giant chess game of
life where battles of the mind, spirits, and flesh over power our own or even
strangers. Thinking we are winning by
taking from those around us.
Pawns, Kings, rooks, and knights. Battles against each other and at times deep
within our own beings. The apocalypse within
our very own beings has been on-going and, in this century, just more publicized
across the world then maybe ever before.
Diving into Jesus; gaining a greater peace than the
mercy and grace that flows through one’s being, when walking with Christ Jesus.
We all have our human flesh side that takes over
and how we deal with life; be it when we are on the mountain tops or the
valleys and trying to get back up.
Neither here nor there, up or down. What is your anchor that allows you to
choose your next words, actions, deeds, or nothingness?
We all believe in something. Many put too much belief in other humans only
to be let down because their choices do not align 100% with that which we think
should be. Some put everything into others
as long as they can feed off what they give out freely. Yet once it stops, they run for another to align
and consume.
Living life like that smooth Tennessee whiskey
where those sweet moments until you do not know if your heart will ever mend
when you come down from being stoned on that love that ignites with the one that
no longer exists.
We will be alright there is no worries there unless
that is just who you are.
When we realize yesterday is gone and we were
allowed to get back up today. May we
refocus and purpose for all that shines bright even in the dim dark places of what
we call life.
Staying humble or learning what that means is
something different for every soul that walks this earth. Everyone has their own perspectives and no
matter how we do our best at times it just won’t be enough for those we are surrounded
by.
That is okay… We just need to learn to be who we
were meant to be for our growth and purpose of the space and time we are given.
Created in the image of God we were all created
for love, mercy, and grace. Many will
never reflect that and unfortunately there will be so much collateral damage
along the way. But those of us who dig
deep and truly believe will work towards being our best selves to even flicker
that light of hope.
Learning to not take life or anyone in it for
granted and getting back up absorbing the lessons when we are on the other end.
Happiness is temporary but holding on to that hope
and joy deep in our souls is beyond spiritual. Knowing the difference during the moments
given is priceless.
Many including myself believe in the God that is
written about for centuries, I believe in Jesus and with that the peace that is
like that comfort blanket will always wrap me up and hold me tight even when I
am in pieces no matter what the reason on any given day.
On any given day or night when God whispers that name,
that memory, that place and fills you with abundance of all things. Acknowledge all the beauty that was and let
go anything that did not go according to your plans. Knowing the plans of the universe always win.
Anyway, on this new day with abundance of so many
opportunities awaiting throughout the time you are given. Grasp on all that is good and work past
all that just doesn’t fit.
How?
Tap into a true bible-based spiritual place of
teaching and worship. Challenge what man
dictates, circle up with no agenda friends and purpose to grow your spirit for
the better. Podcasts, music, music, music! And teachings that you can confirm and
affirm. Fill your mind with hope,
light and all that brings growth. Until
next time much love and peace!
