Drop The Mic | A Conversation With Bishop T.D. Jakes and Pastor Steven Furtick
Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
Funny
Sunday I was dressed up and elfin around at the Jingle Jam event, yesterday afternoon
I driving home with terminator glasses on like a 90 year old from an eye
examination that was way past due.
Thank goodness I did not have to explain to any authorities why my eyes
looked like I was on some really good magic mushrooms.
Crazy
how life just keeps going on when you keep getting back up.
That
is the key trying to grasp on to all that is positive even in the darkest hours
How
cool I stumbled on this conversation with Bishop TD Jakes and Pastor Steven
Furtick.
I talk
about people out there pretending to be something or someone they are not often,
and Bishop says it profoundly and it just flows in truth!
So,
our words are just as important as our actions. I had a conversation with my little sidekick
the other day because of her mood and what was coming out of her mouth. As I was reminded to check myself but also
remind her. Careful what you say. One word or entire conversations or blogs, vlogs
or anything else. For what last words
come out of your mouth to someone’s ears and heart may be the very last thing
they ever hear. Or even you may never
be able to ask for redemption and really allow them to know how much you love them,
and they matter.
None
of us are promised tomorrow. None of us
are promised today!
So, no
matter how crazy it gets, or it is. Don’t
feed the demons!!!
I say
that to myself and many often. Those
demons can be so many different things from idols that should not matter. (Money, drugs, stuff, people). Everything is temporal and no matter what we
are saying, doing for what we think is the good. Works does not get us to heaven. Great music allows our souls to dance and
open up the windows for growth and love, but it does not get us to heaven. Giving may serve a temporary need or
purpose. But it does not eternally save
us from the darkness and sin we ourselves have not let go of.
Someone
is always watching and usually it is a little mind absorbing everything around them
like a sponge and trying or not they are picking up your bad habits. Your bad language, your dress style, how you
treat others. How you speak and treat
your elders.
Now it
may be okay that you walk around like a thug or wanna be gang banger or even
hustler taking all you can take. But if
you care one ounce for any littles coming up under you or behind you. Give them the chance to do great things that
leave a positive impact for a future and legacy worth talking about and working towards getting better over time.
In
that conversation with my little when I reminded them how words matter the hurt
overtook them and they ended up very upset because they never intended for some
of the meanness that was coming out.
But in
that craziness, we call life. How often
we all do not realize until it sometimes too late. Then we feel broken ourselves or worse yet
the humiliation we don’t want to learn from makes us react with more heat and
anger. Not because it was planned, and
we really wanted to hurt anyone or make others feel like we do at that
moment. But because we don’t know how
to digest and react. When in essence we
should learn to pause and pray for however long it takes then come back
planting new seeds for positive growth.
We all
believe in something! Is what you
believe in planting seeds of growth to build up steps to a future? Or are we just leaving it in the hands of all
that have different perspectives, or wants they are driving them…
Very thankful
even more blessed that over time that I have been able to control my own
thoughts and reactions to my own day to days.
For all the choices I have made to be part of, to do, to be. All those that have built me up or taken
pieces of me. Every moment of every day
all mattered and some still do. Owning
the direction of what calls me to tap out when and where I do. Yet not writing another imaginary lover love
story of movie script dreamer romance novels and everyone lasts and love eternally. There is no secret I love old Victorian movies,
historians, and Outlander romance realities the camera brings.
Even
if I am in love with a dream what makes me any different than the billions of
other writers out there. Because pieces
of me are what bring me life and to bring me life and acknowledge what grows
forward why add to the mud and muck that I can be stuck in or on any day
given. Why not speak about the freedoms
we are given in choice in will and all that God breathed that rises up within
the beats of my heart given any second, I exhale.
My
experiences, my knowledge make me no better or worse. Be it I make 5cents, 5dollars or 500thousand. It may bring more stuff, more problems. But makes none of us any more than the
other.
Your
choices are your own. If you want to
live your life like a song continually playing out or a movie script. I pray the script is well written and
blesses those you come in connection with and not just to give you 15minutes or
15 years on a screen that eventually deteriorates or is forgotten.
Nope
this is not about what we have or what we do.
It is who are we and why are people connected to us and are they
forgiving and willing to sit, cry, hug, hold you up, pick you up without
expectations. Or is there always a cost
in the end because the demons are screaming louder than anything else and you
just keep allowing them to be fed in that cycle that spins until one day
everything stops.
Thank you,
Jesus, for allowing me to call you friend, keeper of my soul, king of kings and
only connection to the God and creator of the Universe.
No one
needs to try and figure out how I tick.
Just when I figure out you are trying, I will try to change
something. I am always me. My resume and hard work may allow me doors
to open and opportunities to be part of.
But they are not me. My writing
may release thoughts that trigger good, bad or indifference. But who I am; just like the who you are is
exactly who we are all created to be thought he eyes and creation of Jesus
Christ and the blood that poured out on that cross so we could be!
Anyway,
it is what it is until its not and this is what is free flowing today from this
mind maze dump.
Adjusting
to everyday change, and fighting forward to hold on all that are, all that is
good. We all got broken pieces and junk
that needs to be filtered out cleaned up or let go. But what we have is really not who we are
when we strip down and look in the mirror and understand the God of the
universe is the same God who allows you to be in the first place.
The
forgiving, loving, all merciful abundant God. Give it all over to him, don’t try to
judge anyone else or your own self for that matter. I am good at being my own worst critic.
Words
matter, actions matter. You, me we all
matter! Love those around you. Kindness matters which is so different than
ignoring bad behaviors.
Alright
I am done today, I think… With much love in all that is good. May your every hearts desire be passed
through the hands of Jesus and His will give your end result that fills your
life in hope, love, mercy, grace and all that is beautiful to be shared with
everyone and anyone you are blessed to learn from or connect.
