Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Well then Sweet November where have you gone?

This whirlwind spinning ever so reminds me to not blink.   What if we could live in our own little snow globe version of that perfect everything and beautiful in peace in love beyond words ever captured but flowing freely through all that it touches as that glitter or snow washes over everything.

 

So, the past two days I was supposed to be off, getting some downtime.  Well, that does not happen when you step up and accept the blessings of opportunity given to you.

Yes, every single thing we have placed in front of our hearts, minds, physical beings or within even an inch reach.   Is an opportunity to grow, to change, to be!

So, thank you Jesus

For every day you give me; even if, even when sometimes I face plant to make me be still and listen.

 

Don’t cry over what was, what is so close, what hurts!

Life happens

Sometimes we get a really long great ride with no bumps or scratches along the way.   Yet, others cannot be given a moment of peace.

But wait

Where are we looking?

There is a silver lining in every cloud.

There is a message to be shared, to be learned from in every mess.

There is until we no longer can get back up.

We get to choose who we chill with.

We get to choose who we allow to sell us the latest and greatest pity part or story that takes from the very life we are given to live.

If we are meant to be with anyone; they will be in your life.   There won’t be any need for crying or feeling bad.  

If you listened to their story for a bit and played alongside.  Even if you know they are fake to fulfil their journey they are taking right now.   That  is a choice you make; but when you know the truth way in advance even if you hope and prayer is the truth sets them and you free.   But it never comes to be unified.    It is not meant to be!

 

Riddles and rhymes, Ice or fire.  Does not matter.   It is what it is until its not.  You can be in love for, with and want that soul to feel, to be. Yet, never ever see the temple that transports the spirit within.

We all believe in something right.    I believe in Christ Jesus.  My deal not yours but let me tell you.  I so wish if your life seems to be a mess and you just cannot get a break.   When you tried all else.     Try a new habit and call out to Jesus making him your new best friend every day right where you are.

Find the tunes and the beautiful souls that have taken their blessings and use them to shine bright.

Find the powerful messages from those who biblically study and teach what they have biblically learned in line with what God’s word is.

Circle up with those that are not out there walking around acting like they are all that without the bag of chips.  You know those that show up to hear God’s word once a week yet go out and point fingers, judging and condemning those that don’t fit their mold while running with the circles doing the same darn things thinking nobody knows.

 

Somebody always knows and you know what until you become face down and really meet Jesus you will never know or possibly even care that he is sitting next to you looking at you face to face right where you are 24/7.

So what if don’t believe that.   If I am wrong well, even before I met Jesus I believed in God.   I just did not get to really know him or me until I met Jesus.

And always tried to be a good human and never do anything to anyone I would not want done to me.

Once I met Jesus and Ione day realized what it is like to be blessed in life and what it was beforehand.    I know my creator; I know what I never want to live without.    The abundant peace knowing the mercy and grace given any day we get back up.  With the only thing Christ seeks in return is our very attention, loyalty, faith and to accept the love and share it to grow forward.

 

Yeah, that’s my thoughts on it after a few super busy long days.   Wanting to right but just having way too many distractions and not having the energy to get up in those moments I wake and things flow and I should be capturing them.    Yes, I know better. Keep a notebook next to me.  The fun of loving to write and the ability to just release all that sometimes consumes me with just a few words.   

I can say it has been one heck of a ride these past 2 years.   But when isn’t it?   I mean there is always something or someone.  There is always something sad or broken happening in the world we live.   No matter how many great things transpire, something seems to overshadow.

 

Well guess what, that shadow does not have to plunge you into doubt, or darkness.

You own the choices you make or take on.    Keep fighting forward.

 

Don’t feed the demons and if they are nibbling on you; absolutely call out to Jesus and have Him direct your steps and show you what, how, when.

Don’t let negative rent any space for free or by getting what you think means something even though it keeps hurting or leaving you stuck after.

Not everything if anything will ever be perfect.   But there will be some really blessed memorable moments, and people and even some things.  That will always fill you up with warmth and love even long after the time has passed you once had with them.

Oh well what do I know.   Just rambling and closing out this month end as we journey into December where the frost will come, the lights will go up and the hope and faith of many will fall beyond reach.

Give it all you got and never stop fighting forward for that is good.  For yourself, for those you care about around you near or far.

Give God the respect and benefit of your freedom of will and choice to meet him and Christ Jesus right where you are.  Try it!  What’s the worse that can happen.  What you might have some peace during the storms.     Know who created you, know where your soul will go for eternity.  With or without Him; you cannot change destiny without the Father, Son and Holy Spirit alive and within you.

 

I guess that’s my story for today and I am sticking to it.

Much love, peace and prayers of abundant healing, comfort and blessings to you and all you consider part of your life.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow

Blessed and thankful to be up another day.    What a great past few day to see folks (family, friends) some I have not seen in almost ten years.  And even meet new friends while gathering in thanksgiving.

I know better than anyone how time is fleeting as each day given progresses us closer to the heavens.  

It is not big secret between being really sick as a kid, then in the hands of darkness, to my own journey putting me at gun point and hands of destruction.   Later just trying to take my own self out.   To major surgeries.   I have had the blessing believe it or not of really riding that roller coaster of life.    So, when something out of the normal starts happening with me; I try to just get myself back home out of the way of harm or people and work it through.

So although I was not expecting to have some weird reaction to what I think was the ibuprofen I took for a knee that had been bothering me the past couple days.   Which by the way I have in the past taken!  

Well, I had some reaction to what I think was the trigger.

I think it was about an hour after taking it, on my way to dinner and I started feeling itchy.   Which never happens outside of a little cooler weather change that lotion takes care of.

But as time was going on then like when I first had heart surgery 14 years ago when they put a 35mm patch in my heart to keep me from bleeding out.   Started getting that kaleidoscope vision.   They call it ocular migraines and say its nothing to worry about.  Although something just told me to stay in one place.

So, we visited a bit then I had to get home.   

Once home I just found myself in bed and dozed.    Waking up feeling super sick I headed to the bathroom.   However, I never made it.     Not even sure exactly what was happening, somehow, I felt myself up against something really cold and it was dark.     Realizing I was laying on the bathroom floor I pulled myself back up and headed back to the bed.   When that next step I seen coming and went down again.    Thinking Lord just let me to the bed.  If its my time just let me make it in my bed.

I was lucky even if this is not normal.   Some bruising where I hit the first fall and gosh, I have braces on so it could have been really bad. Not only could I have broken a rib, cracked my head or the second time getting up face planting with braces.   Thank you, Jesus it was not!  Minor cuts inside my mouth and some bruising on my back and back of my head.

Some time later family came home to check on me and as I got up and this time made it to the bathroom started getting sick.   No, I didn’t really eat anything all day. Even at the gathering. I just wasn’t feeling it.   So, I know it wasn’t the food. 

Even if I have not been really good about sticking with my high cholesterol meds which prevent blockage and the fact remains, the Ibuprofen most likely made my gut act up but the other stuff which is most likely time to talk to my doc again.   I see him once a year and things have been great.   But these past couple years have been stressful and not exactly the most physically active compared to what use to be.   Not to mention my diet this past year has not been focused to say the least.

Internalizing life is who I am so all kinds of stuff could be.    Anything!

I will get it checked out for sure.  Even if I am not looking for all that testing or cost again.

I spent black Friday under the covers all day sleeping on and off and today feel pretty good.  But taking it slow.    Not pushing anything just in case. 

One of the downsides to having any implants is at some point they can cause a blockage.   Which is why I see my doc every year.    I am praying its not time to plan some other fix.

But anyway, I am up and taking it slow.  Thinking about what my next couple days should look like.   And all I can come up with is whatever Jesus says will be.

 

Kind of appropriate this year has been lots of change with many thorns digging in.  To where I actually started stepping back to slow down and see what happens next.   Guess I just gotta maintain that faith and keep watching, while hoping all my fellow friends, believers and family keep prayer God’s mercy continue to wash over and through all I am or am to them.

 

 I have talked for years about our time stamp in and that which we leave is the unknown when.   Sometimes things just get shook up because.    Could have even been my own internal anxieties even though I have taken my own precautions, just being around people even when I am not up on them these days, well you just don’t know what you don’t know as this freaking Covid pandemic has proven across the world.   That and all the agenda’s of so many pushing this or pushing that.   Well, I guess that is just another topic that could take a lifespan in itself.

 

None of us are getting out of here alive in the vessels we were given to travel in this here and now.   God has been good then, now, and whatever future he has aligned for me.

 

Life is what it is while we are here, and I am far from perfect or obedient in the true eyes of Jesus.   Any of us!  But especially me.  That little Irish temper and mechanisms that kick into gear sometimes without even noting as I was living the world for half of my existence.  Believing in people, places and things and doing what I had to do in efforts of survival or just getting the heck back out of harms way that I found myself.   Thank you, Jesus, for being the shepherd of my soul then and now.

There is no need to find that hiding place anywhere but in you. And although I don’t take life lightly, I am slowly in your timing Jesus learning to listen and not just react to the fire drills that come in every instance we forget who our ground wire in this life is and should be.

From wandering lost out of the woods, to the guided path in and out of dessert places, to those crazy lights and raves in NY city to just sitting in the middle of God’s open country with nothing but nature flowing freely with beautiful abundance.

May we never stop looking up even if or when things get a little too hard to understand or deal with.   May I never stop looking for you Jesus.

Maybe we freely flow with our spirits riding high or just feel like that soul in a bubble looking in from the outside. Filled with peace, love and all that is good; or broken hurt misplaced pieces that need to be glued back to the better places in life and our dreams.

We all get to choose how to deal with the little or big anomalies in life.

Prayerfully we won’t panic or freak out in angst or bitterness. 

No matter what; it is what it is until it’s not!    Be your best self and yes be logical and take time to care for yourself and others who could use that boost. Even if just a simple prayer from a believing heart.

Anyway, now that thanksgiving is over, although being thankful should never be.   Time to see what is next up ahead.

For me find out what triggered this episode of almost that could have went in any direction.   Dive in to see what I need to do to be worthy to the new career challenge I took.   See where God is calling me in his kingdom.   Maybe there will be a bunch of things to do, maybe just sit back and watch.   Only God really knows but one thing for sure, I will need, we will need to stay tapped into Him through his Son to find out.  Wherever we are headed, may our spirits always fly high in truth, love; yes, so much real love and Gods Mercy and Grace that only walking with Christ Jesus allows us to know.

Like some of those old rhythm and blues, funk, soul or just memories may the beats keep coming in harmony for a pure and healthy life to each being here and now or beats in all the talent we are allowed to be part of.   It does not matter what is going on if we do not know the meaning of who you are Jesus.    Show us your will, with heart opening widely in love.

 

So as this day moves on Jesus thank you for all the opportunities!  Big or small; important to just me or anyone and everyone.    May we know not everyone gets the chance to know you or choose in the end.   So, before it is too late may we choose you now.

Be it makes us look crazy, stupid, or filled with something others want.  May it be you they are chasing. 

Thank you then, thank you for any tomorrows that I am brought to life; thank you for here and now.

Happy Blessed Day or Evening to you!

For me its around the noon hour and I have been up and going early.  Going to get hugs from those I love.   And just chilling out and diving into some devotionals and what better info to share than that on a National day of Thanksgiving to be reminded to always give thanks as there is always something to be thankful for.  And the ability to just draw Christ near by drawing near to Him.  And most importantly being our best self to do what is morally and valuably right in the eyes of God.

 

None of us are perfect or will be. Only God is! Even when we strut around thinking we are.   But hey we can all give it our best shot and reach those hands out to help others up and not just to judge.

Not sure about anyone else but I pretty much said it in my ride to go see some family.   Wishing everyone peace, harmony, and deep, deep joy.   Not just that 15 minutes or 15 days or 15 years of happiness that depends on people, places, and things.

Now and always.   May you find what it is you are looking for.   May you honor in gratitude and thanks that which you have received.

 

May the same God that allows the wind to blow, filling our lungs fill you up with health and eternal prosperity.    And if he already has, may you never forget who he is and always have a relationship with Christ Jesus!

Thoughts shared to my friends and family and anyone that needs to hear this.

 

 

As I am blessed to open these eyes another day.

As I get to shower dress have coffee breakfast go to work clean my house fix something that was accidentally broken. Or just go thru the motions.

As I pull myself together in a flash or put the broken pieces of what I have left back together.

As my fading vision or maybe fading hope. Loss of life, abilities, hearing everything.

I am still here with Gods whispering to me thru the breath I am given to exhale.

I look around knowing there is still so many opportunities for however many minutes left. To breathe life and know there is always something to be thankful for.

As I know I do too much of this, not enough of that.

Spending not near enough time with those I love and care for. If at all. Yet they are planted deep in the knots of my heart strings. And deeper in prayer.

I am thankful to know it is what it is until it’s not.

And the facts we all get to choose.

So no matter what when how or why. We get to Choose.

Choosing To send or hold onto, all that is too heavy keeping you from life or breathing life in at all. Send it, pray it back to the cross.

Get up. And know you have been created to live.

To give thanks no matter if you are physically alone or surrounded by many yet lonely.

Know you are blessed to live.

Created for love and still here to be what others give thanks for.

Every broken moment or pieces of anyone of us fit perfectly into Gods mosaic canvas.

So, no matter if you are rocking it and having a blast or going thru it!!!

Know you are loved and have purpose.

I wish you a very blessed Thanksgiving.

  

Speak life, Live life and be life! 

“4 Things you can’t get back”  

The stone after it’s thrown.  The words after they are said.   The occasion after it is missed.   “Time after it is gone.”

Now although I changed up what some or many or one unknown author has written.     We will never get back any time that has come and gone.   But the key to any future will be what are you doing with what you have left?    Are you spinning paralyzed in all that would of, should of, could of?

Yesterday is gone!   Take the pain and use it for the purpose of what you can learn from it, grow from it or even help others through whatever it is in their world out of control.

 

Be a light.  Not only for yourself to learn who you really have been created to be.  But what about the light, and nourishment of just sitting beside someone, or that smile that feeds mile of hope grown in a single second you share.

Is it hard I would be a lying fool to say no.     Every single soul on this earth given another day to get back up this day has something they are going through even if they just do not see it yet.

Every single soul has a thorn be it a loss of those we love with our very being that left us and we are reminded over and over they are not coming back.  Or that birthday on a holiday making us miss them even more when the flash of laughter and how they lit up a room floods us.      That thorn bleeding us out that we put everything we into that something or someone and we just didn’t make it.    Either the world had different plans and we were just one of the many pawns.  Or that which we poured all we are into hoping and waiting just never came to be.  Maybe no reason at all, maybe they were just using us. 

Maybe just maybe we have everything this world we feel we could have ever wanted.  Yet we have nothing at all.    Or maybe we are still lying to ourselves and find our being to be absolutely perfectly unflawed and we deserve the right to treat others like they are less.   All the while we have our little imperfections seeping out that we numb, with something.

 

We are worth more in life than anything this world will give or take and each day we are allowed back up there is something to be done.   Even to just smile, listen, say thank you for then, thank you for now, thank you for any tomorrows you may be given.

Choose what you believe and who you serve.

Know just because; well, that will never change the gift of life you were given or who you were created by.

None of us are perfect, none of us are going to get it right as our creator imagined it to be.  But all of us are worth his creation and breath that allows us up each day.  

May you/may I find strength, courage, forgiveness, and freedom in Jesus Christ and in this life out of harm's way.   May you be thankful even when or if it hurts.  So that your light helps those seeking direction the ability to live as well.

 

Everything we are, everything we have is just on loan, all of anything belongs to the creator of this universe!  God Alone    Be good stewards with all that is little or much.   Be thankful you were worth this new day.

Get up and keep going and start over where you must.

 

Have a blessed day or evening. Know in Christ all things are possible.
