Since we have these great promises, dear friends, let us turn away from every sin of the body or of the spirit. Let us honor God with love and fear by giving ourselves to Him in every way.

“While others turn over for extra sleep or anxiously tune in to the latest news, you commune with the Creator of the universe. I have awakened in your heart strong desire to know Me.”    “I delight in your enjoyment of everything this is true, noble, right , pure, lovely, admirable.”

Isaiah 40:31  But those who hop in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not be faint.

Psalm 27:4  One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to  gaze upon the beauty o the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Philippians 4:8  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable---if anything is excellent or praiseworthy---think about such things.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Change happens each and every day to each and every soul on this planet.    Two legged or 4 or even birds in the skies.   We all have to learn to adapt and not allow the harsh reality and all the untruths that fight so hard to convince us is right and true until it comes to pass and then laughs in the face of purity and innocence stolen.

Waiting and watching begging Jesus to help me walk away from all that is impure and foolish reckless abandonment into the dark.

God never created any of his living beings to just be here to suffer at their own demise or the hands of others.

Black is black, white  is white there is no grey matter in between when speaking and living in truth.

Unfortunately, just some in this crazy world believe the lies for so long they actually expect everyone else to believe what should never be.

Destruction and defamation of anyone their character and /or any property they have obtained no matter how they got it.  Is morally and life ever changing.

Trolling and being your best impersonation thinking you won in the split second you land all that is not yours all the while taking from those truly in need.

Whatever is in the dark will forever come to light and just as the serpent’s head is crushed under the heel of truth so shall be the foolish games one plays with life and those around them.

 

Sweet sun showers of God’s blessing, and wrath will wash down on his people.  It is only then the games people play will be no more.     Until then where are the boundaries and common sense that we all have been blessed to have along with that very same freedom of will or choice.

Professional button pusher for years.   My job was to break and prove all that you put out there was not as what was written.

That is no different than my day to day.   Not to go around and point out flaws but to say If you say you are then show up and be.   If red is red than we need not misrepresent it in the multi layers of colorful reds that could come to be in today’s here and now.

Say what you mean, mean what you say.  And stop dinking around with people’s lives.

Be your authentic self; not that of who you pretend to be.

Have you ever noticed people close to you or even your own being?  How you walk, talk, or interact with different people.    Depending on who someone could be talking to they can change their accent, their body language, and even the slang they use in today’s world.    Trolls and imposters are the best they get so good at pretending to be others just so they can consume whatever they can get away with and do not care how it harms the future of those they are consuming or those they are pretending to be.

We may all be created in the image of God but there are allot of short circuits out there just spinning in their own madness trying to consume everything and everyone they can get.

We only have ourselves to blame when we fall for the line of business for those who talk great talk but never show up.   Those that always have excuses and not once see anything wrong with what they are saying or doing.

Yet back to the birds of the air; I they don’t worry about what next why do we?  Why or how do we even get caught up to even know the simplicity of the games people play in this world.

For all those with open relationships or all those who have that special life partner, yet you are out trying to or even successfully convincing others they are the one and only.    What you do is not special or new.  Sure, it breaks allot in this world of those you play the game with.   But your infidelities or pretending is nothing new in this world.     So, stop lying to everyone else and to ourselves.

Your actions are your own be it anyone on the other end receiving whatever the connection is believes in you or not.   Just be the real you!   Stop flipping the switch to suite your own needs.  

 

If you want to mean something.  Learn what it means to give and stop taking.   For those who have a billion demands or needs yet cannot show up just once.    Karma is coming back around.    So be it your trolling, impersonating, just stepping out because you want a new flavor or excitement.   Everything always goes full circle and though the one’s you have damaged along the way may not see it.   God’s justice will be transparent when you get there.    

I am walking free with everything or nothing.  Even if I should always know better yet put too much stock into seeing the good of others when I should be running the other direction.

I have nothing left to lose by giving all I am to hope and love of Christ Jesus and that sets me free even in the lockdowns or trapped moments where life storms have come and gone.

Set yourself free and let go of what is not yours to be.   Live in truth and stop the madness spending more focus on next steps then repeating the broken cycles over and over.

 

 " Say no to anything that is not a high-value use of your time and your life.”   ~ Brian Tracy"  

If you cannot see it, if you or it,  cannot show up then stop spinning as it is just not meant to be.  You cannot bring your life to be on empty promises or actions or lack of from others.

You have to own and know your worth and live your best life here and now.  Not pieces of promises and what you take from others along the way.

 

Thank you for this day given; may the powers that be that have already won the wars come rest within us and bring peace and heaven on earth.

 

Life is what it is until its not and much of any given day may not make sense.  However, in this mind maze of wisdom and experience is truth that is just not my place to open the door but fully consume the awareness what is will be and what is not is time to let go. 

 

For all that is good, all that is pure, all that is innocence.   The powers that allow us to breathe in and out giving oxygen to this globe we walk around in.  Will never give what is not ours to take when it is already committed to somewhere or someone else.     Though you may try whatever it takes to just keep collecting or even taking.   In the end you will find all you had to do was just show up in truth and love with pure hearts and clean hands for life ever after shining through all the possibilities that now have been taken away. 


So, get ticked off or whatever you wish to call it.    When you look in the mirror do you really believe that person looking back has been the authentic you in every aspect of the definition for self and anyone you connect?    If so why and how do you plan on making what’s real come to life and what is not go away?

With all the death and destruction that surrounds every soul daily.   Dare to be who God created you to be in his image not that of what people say and do of this world.

 But if you cannot it is something you must take up with your maker even for the slightest half-truths.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Before diving in and this weekends’ journey coming out in black and white.  Yes lord: why do we react negatively when difficulties arise.   Why do we make everything about our own being when things are happening around us?   Why we get frustrated, irritated, or shut down?

Be with those Lord going through it right now forgetting who they really belong to or perhaps they never really knew.  Let the will of God set sail in their very beings and help them through the storms of this life and all the chaos and destruction that is everywhere. 

 

So many out there far better than I am, without a doubt that is not my problem.   We have been made for more with our own canvas to paint and create life and no matter how hard it is or ripples here and there.   When we remember nothing is better in everything then to be chasing our tails and thinking we need to be like those golden idols that only get melted down and destroyed in the end.

May we remember each time we make it to that next step in in our climb and remember the cost and know that we will if we continue to speak the life and not give into chasing what is temporal.

May everything, I do everything everyone, anyone connected to me count for one step and light closer to you Jesus.

In all the chaos of family and each member fighting forward on their own journey’s this weekend I spent packing up a vehicle and getting up early driving round trip 400 miles to help even a little in one more spark to a light that is waiting to burn bright in their own calling.

Imperfectly contributed with time that will never be returned we thank you Jesus even if some moments got a little more colorful, we did as a family and someday some will look back and appreciate even the smallest actions that seemed to be because of friction with relationships.

 

Even the smallest adventures have meaning even if they seem to be not going anywhere at times.    If only we could just keep holding hope in those hopeless moments.     This time is different as another piece of my heart string is clipped and I have to trust in you Lord.

Everything I am belongs to you and if you have carried me through all the moments that should have neve been and healed so many scars that truly should have taken me out long ago.  

 

Broken bones, broken lives, broken hearts that seem to never mend or when they do just as I believe to try again, they are shattered all over again in a billion pieces.  Yet you scoop every bit of me back up and glue me back together feeling so much love and depth that nothing this world takes can ever be.

 

I wish I could hear you clearly when you call Father.   Sometimes its like I myself keep going that same open door and missing it until one day I jump up and realize you have been there all along. 

Though none of us are meant to be alone in this world and we surround ourselves with so many and so much.   It is you the one and only that we really need to be consumed by morning, noon, and night in the here and now and clearly on the other side of the new horizon coming.

Beyond good you awaken me Jesus.   Connect me, show me, direct my path that is your will.

No one knows more than I do what is for my day to day.   We all get there in our own time. For those that keep my heart strings in knots; Lord protect and shine for them when they don’t know where the light is coming from send your angels to help them be all they can be in you.

Protect and sustain the pure hearts and innocence in this dark crazed world we are given; I know that is a tall undeserving statement to ask.  Especially in a world that many will never care to even know who you are. 

Wake all I am connected before it is over before it is too late.  

Jesus – you know

·         the situation with Lisa and Cancer

·         the heart attack Jennifer had before she even made it in her 30s

·         the chronic sickness my own child goes through

·         the depression and illness many of the world is suffering

·         this pandemic we know it is no different from biblical times it is just our time.

·         the hate violence and all the world chasing everything at every cost of ever bit of their being  and soul

·         all the health needs of family and friends; brothers and sisters of you calling and my own blood.  

Jesus we are a city on our knees even if we are there for the wrong things.    Wake us up now before it is too late, and the souls are lost beyond anything we will ever comprehend.

Accountibility, responsibility, respect, loyalty.   Ready to give all we are for that never ending story that takes us so high we think we have found heaven or holds us so dear and close we never worry about ever being let go as your arms wrap us in blessings we will never see, deserve, or even appreciate.

 

Jesus not superhuman hero just You Lord and all you promise in peace, in love, in life, in the light. 

What next Father God?

I want it all far beyond that little girl’s fairy tale with the white picket fence where when I came through, I built my own designed lattice fencing.   Long gone is that silly Ozzy and Harriet dream.  The fence blood red as a reminder of the power of red and boldness to dear to live and stop dreaming.   Knowing if is not real it is not happening yet living with all I am just waiting to use what you have blessed me to be, to do, to love.

 

Lord show me what to do with this love as you reel in my boundaries and teach me each day how to forgive what I cannot forget and learn what I do not understand.

Thank you for this adventure and for this day.   May the grace of God never stop filling me up or the strength when those heart strings are broken over and over.

Thank for all that I am, all I have been and all you allow me to one do be.

 

May I never stop loving those you have given me for who they are and now what they do all the while I pray, they find their best selves and all the blessings and become that bright light that is always painting legacies and hope for those watching.

In your mighty precious name this world needs healing Lord.  So many brothers and sisters fighting forward for their own very moment to move even an inch.     So much loss and destruction.  Jesus we are never supposed to understand why we are supposed to keep fighting forward with and for you.      The lifeline is out Lord pull all of us in and give us renewed strength and courage.   


Teach us Jesus how to turn to you and stop making it about us or like we are doing something and you could never care or do care.    With all that I am all that I love Thank you then, now and any tomorrows I have been given.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Happy Friday the 13th for all you suspicious or superstitious spirits out there.   And yes, as it was made to my attention happy 8-13 for all those who live in the Tampa Bay Florida area.  Yes, that is our area code.  

It really has no significance unless you want it to be.   For me in my youth was always hurry up and wait to see what freaky things would happen on a Friday the 13th.   As I got older I just kinda liked the numbers 7, 9 and 13.    Not sure why… but I did stop worrying about what ifs on freaky Fridays because in life stuff happens every day.

Good, bad and anything in-between.    Life, peace, joy and let-downs, distrust, out right use and abuse.      It really is happening in every part of every day we are given.

The question would be is what does each one of us plan on doing with whatever comes our way.

Close our eyes and walk around blind.  Until something bad happens because we do not make any sort of plan or think things through.     Or the opposite; plan out so ridiculous that we stop living.

Or just react to every single thing that transpires.???

Only each one of the living souls on this earth get to choose.  

I know depending how you respond in any situation matters.   

As a parent I have always wanted my children to have opportunities I did not.  I purposed to make sure they were fully aware they own the choices they make.   And although I expect them to fight forward and make away.   They know I would always be there for them especially in today’s world where you just cannot really make it on you own unless you really are dedicated and have strong will.    Especially if you have children.

So, when I step up and out and lose my role as grandparent and become the go to.    Life gets messy.    When kids are old enough to make choices, they have to own them.

Treating people how you want to be treated with respect, loyalty and love is an absolute.   That goes without saying how you present yourself and/or what comes out of the loose lips we all at times have.

You cannot take back the arrows that you freely fire and expect over time that people will not cut you off, start shooting back or totally disappear out of your life.

At some point it is not your place to demand a child be, do or anything else that you want from them.       No matter how much good you want them to have, people in general must own their own behaviors or lack of.

It is not my place to point out your flaws or what is being done or not done.   But I also do not have to listen to it or be put in the middle of what is not mine to manage.

I am far from perfect transparent as it gets.  I have my days that I lose my cool and say things I wish I did not and especially when it comes to people biting the hands that feed them.

Like you hear all the time about being in the USA, if you do not like it.  Leave!

Well, if you do not like the fact that you are gifted because you needed something from me; if you do not like the fact that I refuse to be sucked in.  And by the way… Yes unless you are paying rent, paying bills, contributing in some positive fashion not just for me but for your own future.   Either suck it up or leave.

I do what I do because I have been blessed over the years to not have burnt up all my brain cells in the times it gets really hard and, in my youth, especially consuming too much.

But honestly, I am over being the go-to and always being available. But as soon as something does not fit, or you bring someone else  in and there is either no communication at all or it is constant negativity.       I know my role and I am out.

 

I will always be available to help lead in light.    But I won’t always be there pretending I do not really know what is going on.  Nor will I just sit back and tolerate beating each other up or being pulled into the middle or even being added to the list because I do not say something in the manner you wish to hear.

As a mother, sister, grandmother, friend, seasoned career person, and daughter of the most High God.     I know my worth and it is not to have my very moments that cannot be replaced sucked away with all the negativity that this world apparently has consumed humanity with.

 

Every single one of us need to realize our worth in God the Father and why He called down his one and only son Jesus Christ to teach, live, suffer, hang on that cross, die and come back to life again  for our humanity to have abundant life.

No that does not mean abundant happy moments 24/7.  It does not mean getting our own way or being forgiven each time we wrong something or someone.     But it certainly means we should be giving our best self and allow the forgiveness we expect from everyone else around us to flow freely from our own beings.

 

Concern for our future and the children of this world.    Without a shadow of a doubt especially being I still have a couple coming up.   But there is nothing I can do but leave it in the hands of the maker.

Along with all the other layers that are heavy.

Fake people I am not one.

Concerned on driving 6 hours in a tropical storm hitting this weekend; Yes!

Concerned for a friend who just had nodules found on their lungs and other areas of the body; Yes!

Concerned about friends going blind; Yes!

Concerned about aging parents’ health and well-being and no one there to really help every day; Yes!

Concerned about employment, mine and others in this world that have lost everything; Yes!

Concerned how so many liars, thieves, and hustlers play every single soul out every day and get away with it; while hard working honest people continually dig themselves out and lose ground minute by minute; Yes!

Concerned with what comes next in this Pandemic and all the chaos and garbage that has been tossed out for the world to now know how to handle; Yes!

 

Life sucks more than it can shine at times; but I know if we all spent more time trying to forgive ourselves, and others.  If we all purposed to consume only what grows kindness, respect then loyalty would be worth the end result.

We all get there in our own time.   We all make or have made choices that we wish were different and we all be we want it or not are accountable for how we will respond, react or whatever else you classify it as of when choices go well and especially when they go bad.   

 

Stop worrying about what that one down the street is doing.   Stop flipping out before you even hear the sentence.    Stop with all the expectations especially if you are not doing it your own self.

Judgement is not our job.  But if you choose to do so.  Whatever!!!

 

Today is the first day of the rest of your life and if you do not purpose to shine bright and if you cannot find that light to shine under find a way to be one.

Because once our time is up if you have not gotten it right with your soul and built a relationship with Christ Jesus as outlined in the bible.  

Allow our spiritual maker to lead you and grow you and heal for all those things you are slowly killing yourself for that need to be given over to Jesus.

Give as much as you are able without sacrificing who you are meant to be.  Each day you are given allows you time to be the real you.   Stop trying to live through others or bury who you are by helping others who need to help themselves. 

Train your children up the way they should go; do not leave them the legacy of picking up what they are watching and think you are not responsible for anything.

It is not a world of do what I tell you not what I do.   Those days right or wrong are long gone and are not coming back.    You are leading by example no matter if you own the accountability  of that or not.

 

Humility is a hard habit to create and swallow but I can assure you once you understand who you really are and release all selfish ambitions and become selfless.   It becomes easy to be at last and know you care for others first.   And even with that you are still responsible for not being anyone’s doormat or whipping post physically, verbally, emotionally.

We are all the same but so different; but every single soul granted life mean more to the Father than anything of this world.    Chase your peace and stop allowing others to chase it for them.

Lead by example how you want to grow forward.  Don’t settle~

Make learning who you are through Jesus Christ a habit and reap the rewards for blind faith in what matters not that of schemes or games that so many can easily talk the talk but rarely with they walk the truth walk or show up.

Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me this new day.   Be with all that is going on in this world for me and all I am connected.    Be there in the fires, in the storms, in the floods, in the brokenness, darkness, illness, just being lost light us up Father God.    Light us up for and with you.

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

As if our life is a demo and all the critics continually making suggestions on how you should approach things each day you are given.  Suggesting you need to change or to never change if you want people to engage.   A little disappointed or disappointing depending on who is given such constructive criticism.  

 Did I ask you and how can one say it is because your question was open ended was a reason that 15 people choose to stay quiet?

If today, you take a right and you meet your destination without issue.  Yet tomorrow you go forward and still meet your destination in shorter time; what does it matter if your approach how you get there?    Are you to be a grand puppet master and script your questions to make people engage in what you are trying to deliver?

No, its not all about you, it’s not all about me.   It is interaction but what the perception is or how you get there is what perception and control shouts trying to be louder than the next meaningful stripe into the world of twisted delivery.

Lies, to those around you, to the depths of who you are and what you are trying to achieve.  Just say what you mean and mean what you say.   No worries that it may come back to haunt you.  It is what it is and already has been.

 

Dedicated to the cause or dedicated because.   Only you can answer why you do or don’t do the things that you go through day in and day out.

As I make it through the day and plan to lead the Forgive What You Can’t Forget group for the next several weeks.   Lifting my eyes and hands up high knowing it is because of Jesus that I am allow to even survive.

What next gosh the pendulum is way off balance and pointing nowhere.  Just being my best self where possible and resting when I can.     I need not prove anything to any woman or man.  It is only the Great I AM that allows all I am.

Anything else is just empty negative space being consumed robbing us from life of any given day.

Find the beauty in all that comes what might.    Blind faith does not mean dreams or life ever after is out of sight.

Be you for you and own all you choose even when you don’t choose that to do!

 

I wish I knew what to do, when to do it.

   Fact is I just know the choices are mine to make as long as he allows me back up.  

Right, wrong, or indifferent.  

In the end I work through swimming upstream just giving it my all.

 If that is not good enough it is never meant to be.   

Get better at working smarter not harder would start with boundaries and letting others go and stop being their landing zone and maybe just sit at the feet of Jesus a whole lot longer than I do each day currently given.

While being more direct is not the same as abrasive, abrupt clatter. 

  Boundaries and knowing them, living them in all we are given matters.     

Love, laughter, loyalty, and respect for our own being as those we are blessed with. 

If my tomorrow no longer comes, I am blessed for all I have been able to live in my today, and all the yesterdays.  

If this is all there is, this is all that will be.

 

What if I stumble.  

Talking my life, I face plant in gullible foolish lack of boundary living choices every day.  

   The question is if I stay down?  

The question is what if we do not stumble but we get so big and forget even if our platform is out of reach just how badly it will hurt when we step off or fall if we do not have Christ Jesus in our every day.

 Oh this mind maze someday someone can go in that little space ship and ride the current to understand like the matrix.   Until then I am grateful I have been allowed this freedom and choice to try my best with what I get to work with and every now and again allow pieces of me to seep out and make room from all that noise up in my maze.

Isaiah 54:10  “Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Romans 8:26  In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
