Prayers (Thinking out
loud)
Every friendship,
or moment to breathe our dreams so deep that we feel more real than anyone lying
next to us. It is a blessing and reflection of hope that as long as we are
allowed back up each day. We have opportunity to keep trying and do our best to
make life happen for our own and those we connect.
Fall in line as we
pretend in the world that has its own relevance of truth has never been my
style or mission to do so with an agenda of anything to personally gain.
Forever homeless in
your heart never having it filled with loving truth and people to fill it even
with broke pieces. Well, I would rather
live homeless in life without shelter then live a lie of not caring and just
purposed to take what I can when I can where I can just to take it and fill a
room of nothing but collectables over broken spirits, broken souls or even
myself ending up lost and spinning in a world because I tried to be like
everything in it.
Take me back Jesus.
Despite where I am
going; each day you allow me to get back up and just breathe life in once
more. Take me back to that feeling when
I craved all you are. That warmth and
love that flows through when we know you are right there, and nothing will ever
rip the sail of where you are taking me.
Where all the
obstacles of this world and all the hurts that every soul including those deep
within try to crash and consume us.
Never knowing you
in the beginning but never letting you go now. Never let go of me or all your ways that
give me life.
Well, those early
morning thoughts before I went and served my commitment made with a kids fun
and sun splash day. Finally, back
home after going and checking on my family in the hospital and not doing well
emotionally. But Jesus our God the one who allows me to
be any given day has it. Anything that
I am connected anything I have been given is all on loan.
When the day comes that
blesses us and the next, we are knocked off our feet. Jesus wants us to trust in him for all
things. To live for the moments right
here right now. The beauty that you can
plant and grow forward.
You may see nothing
but wild weeds and a bunch of insects that cause painful bites out of pieces of
your days, but God still has you .
No, he does not cause
pain or darkness. And again, no way has
he ever stopped what we choose to do from happening even when the collateral
damage is babies, and innocence.
But if you have a
past and you have baggage and are still here.
The Lord promised as long as the skies and heavens are above the earth,
we and our ancestors will live in this world a long time. With that are we not more blessed when
there is no drama, no hate, no judgement, no political or selfish ambitions or
agendas that leave us so broken.
If God has allowed
us up again this day, why are we wasting all the moments on yesterday?
Nothing is perfect
but the creator himself. Why are we so
caught up in performing and putting on the masks and shows pretending to be or
do what we really do not mean?
The only road to
found is openly acknowledging we are lost and calling upon the author of life
for guidance of what way and how to get there.
But to please take that wheel and drive us just like when he carries us. As long as we believe and build that
relationship with Christ Jesus personally.
Not to walk behind a curtain and confess our sins and ask for forgiveness
from man when He himself is carrying his own demons and should be face down to
change.
Jesus I am not sure
what all this is about. A long day playing out in the son; a visit to see
someone I love so broken and watching it chip away at those next
generations.
What is what can be
what will be! Father God You are and
always will be. Rise up in me and all
I am connected how to get past what I have no control. I have no grip, no spice to really make
it stick that it will be okay, and the sun will light us up.
Most importantly is
not the change but what the change will bring. When we quit, we are quitting ourselves!! When we have families that love and adore us,
we are showing them how not to fight forward and that it okay not to be okay as
long as we do not stay there. We are
teaching them to live in the past and never seek a future were created
for.
All he wants us to
do is believe and keep growing forward.
If something is not working learn ways to change it until it does. To be accountable for our choices and the
results that transpire. And to love,
honor and protect the life he gave each one of us and the blessings of life
created from our own bodies because of him.
Just open the door
to your heart, to your mind to your spirit and seek Jesus. Dive in
all you can study and learn and start living through the hurt, habit, and
brokenness up ahead or from yesterday.
Only we can choose
ourselves. And not for nothing baptism
is the relationship choice that you are confirming that you believe in Jesus
Christ and Father God and that you know you are not perfect and that you know
you will make mistakes along the way. But
you purpose to wash the old you the doubt the habits the stains away and will
do everything you can with what you get to work with to be your best self in obedience
in love, in life for and with God’s will in mind and deep in your spirit.
None of us will
ever be perfect. None of us will ever
get it right. But we need not want to
really know Christ yet hold back because we are afraid, we will be damned if we
take the dip but mess up after.
God does not love
us any less. He created humanity to
live, to love, to learn and show mercy and reflect the grace we have been
given.
I am no expert but
have somethings that I have been blessed to know just enough to be dangerous. So just like I do. Dive in and never stop learning. Do not take things by the cover of the book
or shell of a person you are looking at.
Dive in because everyone has a name, everyone has a story, and everyone needs
grace even if no one really deserves it.
Praying with so
much on my heart and mind for so many I know and am close to all the while knowing
it is that it is.
So, with that I
wish you all a peaceful rested weekend and that through all the flooding, all
the fires, all of the evil and darkness and feeling so lost in this vast world
that needs God to come now, yesterday and wash this world clean.
Until he does hold on! Don’t let go and call Jesus to the carpet and
make him show up in your life. And be
there when he does. I cannot imagine a
world for me if Jesus were not part of my life, mind, spirit. We are all made and needed for so much
more.

“Bring me all your feelings, even the ones you wish you didn’t have.”
Ephesians 6:16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of
faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
1 John 1:5-7 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at
all. If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness,
we lie and do not live by the truth. But
if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus , his son, purifies us from all sin.
