John
14:1-3 (NIV) New International Version
Jesus Comforts His Disciples
14 “Do
not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God[a]; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has
many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going
there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
So who am I to question what is deemed to be on
the WOW hits each year. All I can say I
started out looking for what made it to any of the CDs each year and deemed it
to be worthy of my motivation today. Of
course, I don’t dare question those that really feed my spirit especially if
scanning through each year search, they show up multiple times.
Hope you get something positive out of any of the songs posted if you are one to listen~ As noted all music is off of youttube.com
I can absolutely relate to life through music even if I don’t own but one
WOW hits CD. Okay maybe two.
I flip flop my music between my Christian artists,
good old rock and roll, hear and there some country, pop, hip hop, about the
only wrapper I listen to end to end is TMac
and the boys like Lacrea, NF, etc. Although
I love all music!
Although, I am not into or care about music that is foul or screaming about who is going to do who, or what they are doing.
Leave that crap to the imagination
and people’s private business. But yeah,
in reality sex, drugs and rock n roll sells right!
People getting their freak on and not bothering
anyone or doing any wrong or harm to anyone is their business just as it would
be my own.
Of course, though in the world
we live makes it seem as no one is happy with what they have been given. With the new normal where they step out all
over the place. And / Or all over so many unsuspecting along the way.
It is funny how I was scrolling somewhere and
there was an article of something like can you guess which famous artist my
father is, and he doesn’t even know I exist.
Please you don’t have to be famous or come from anything of significance into the world and never have your biological much less anyone care
enough to love and groom you through into society to be a productive positive
spirit. That is the truth. I am sure there are more illegitimate beings in the world according to the world standards then there are by happy Ozzy & Harriette white picket fence homes.
But what doesn’t kill you only makes you one hell of allot stronger than being spoon fed
and handed everything.
I know first and being from a broken home where my mother was divorced before I was born and ended up growing up in a single parent no parent home making the world my playground.
We are what we purpose for and if we make mistakes
along the way until our souls are taken North or South, we get to choose to
correct the mistakes or just own it.
At judgement time we all will have that opportunity
reconcile our destiny. But just one thing. Don't ever think you have time to meet Jesus at heavens gates and still make it to heaven. It doesn't work that way. You need to do it here and now and purpose the change and be authentic with him every day you are given alive. Cause once we get to the gate our real father is waiting and what He says goes. Not to mention he made it clear to get to heaven to meet and be with him; you must be in relation with his son Jesus.
That does not mean any of us are right or any of
us are wrong in our day to day.
However,
it is what you do in kindness, or evil dark controlling mean spirited
intentions that matter here and now. It is truth by meeting Jesus, right where you are and being your best self with him every day you are allowed back up.
Nope I don’t know for sure! I just know who I was before I met Him myself and who I am today. Most importantly I know the peace, strength, and blessings that I am given any and every day I am allowed to keep trying with that moral compass in hand and calling upon his name daily in gratitude, in faith and in every situation.
Besides that, I am just this mind maze that freely pours
out.
You may see my big heart and kindness
in the end could be what should have never been.
My caring about anything or anyone could have
just been my broken pieces getting fulfilled by doing good even for those that
did not deserve a thing. Or they could
have been the beginning to my eternal blessing awaiting.
Personally, I won’t know till I get there. But in the meantime, I will keep being me
and doing what I do. When I can and where
I can. It is between me, myself and I
and the Lord above.
And no doubt if he
is filling me with grace, mercy and keeps my heart pumping and chasing whatever
it is in Him I need. It is what it is until it is not!
Changing where needed, getting back up each time I
go down. And like sweeping up the floor daily.
Brushing off and letting go of all the things that cut behind me.
I have no hidden agenda even though what you do is
your business and what I do is my own and unless you really want to be a part
of this life. Mind yours and I will
mind my own.
That too does not mean if something is happening
where someone is in danger, being hurt or taken advantage of I won’t say
something. Or trust me try to do something.
That spirit within me where if I had to take someone out of this world to protect a
child or elder. I would do my best to
make it happen in the blink of an eye.
I know what it is like to be a child and have
adults turn a blind eye and allow harm take place for their own personal
gratifications or not get involved. When your father walks out before your born and your mother falls apart and cannot regain strength. Well perhaps it is the way and will of God to learn how to survive and be strong.
Back to those thoughts of always helping. Or wanting a line up... Who knows perhaps maybe I will be cursed in the
end; because I certainly don’t hesitate to tell God to line the evil dwellers
that rob the world and harm innocence up against the wall for judgement and ready for their
execution or punishment!
The world and people in it can be beyond ugly and
we are not in shortage of turning heads. I just hope the light of the world shines brighter every day and people really do start having a conscious and not just a hot switch.
I can only pray that the poison of this world and the centuries washed by the floods are really that of Christ Jesus and the blood that poured out then
and the abundance of many calling him off the cross even here and now to dwell
within every soul God has chosen to call son and daughter. That not just each soul; but every soul finally looks up and answers
the call.
More so that the calls of Christ become so loud
that no darkness will ever be hidden again.
That in the end every soul will always be loved by God even if lost and
sent back to the depths of Haiti’s
Interesting how going through songs with no agenda
and what comes pouring out. And that free- flowing harmony of whatever is brewing can actually burn up the ships that set our sails to live.
I just hope the burn is all the vessels that
allow any ties into darkness and remain face down until we are absolute who we
belong to, and who we are when we are allowed to see the image of God within our
own reflection. More so I hope we are burning brighter for all that is good or can be. Not just for temporal desires and feelings that can destroy us.
It does not happen overnight and oh so many will give it their best shot
and miss the mark.
But God will never
let them go because right up through their very last breath they never stopped
wanting Jesus and all he is.
All about choices is it not?
Going way out in left field for the scenario like a cartoon; I remain blonde by choice as the color suites me,
so they say. And my hair stylist tells
me I look far too young to just go all natural.
Yup you really needed to know that right? LOL!
Bottom line that I have continually come back over
and over to is the fact we all get to choose.
We have all been given freedom of will and freedom to choose.
Please put it to good use and make something that
is worthy. Make the legacy left behind for any coming up behind you worthwhile and hopeful and filled with what makes us grow.
It does not need to be well known here and now and
robbing you of life. But something that
dash in between the times you checked in and the time you are taken back out
they can smile, be filled with memories, hope and love. Not just being controlled by anything or anyone that can destroy you. Not just working yourself 24/7 to end up with things you cannot take with you when you leave. Not anything that robs those who love and care for you; from you!
If only it were that easy right.
The world is hard on us. Or can be. Best advice I can ever tell anyone is when
you get knocked down; learn something from it and say thank you as your
brushing off getting back up.
Never think
you need to do life alone because you see it go so badly for your family or friends.
But don’t give yourself away. Don’t make life based on the feelings you
have because each day, each month or perhaps each year things change and a new
different version just like music hits come out.
Never assume people know how much your care or how
you care. You can love someone and not
be intimately loving them. And they are
not your spouse, significant other or family member. Heck just like that you cannot like or want
anything to do with those family members who you should always care for.
Yes, we should all have goals but stop living with expectations of the world like they are going to matter in the end.
Stop doubting yourself! You don’t have to start out with anything
to become who you are meant to be.
Know what you are meant as, for and within the eyes of Christ!
Not what the world makes you.
Anyway,
I did find myself here today and with so much pouring out of this mind maze. When I really was not feeling the need to write anything yesterday. It is what it is and hopefully someone somewhere will find something good out of this that pours out.
Prayers and blessings that you love yourself
enough to know that you are created in the image of God and allowed to come to
this place to be so much more than anything we can fathom. And no, it does mean some rich and famous idol
that in the end is melted into nothing.
God loves us and calls all of his creation His
own!
So back to the WOW Hits of the past 27 years. Maybe they were, maybe they were not. Maybe they should be or maybe it really just
does not matter.
What matters is what feeds your spirit and your
soul and where is it growing to?
No matter what bad or ah so so has happened in
2021 and all those years before. What
really matters is here and now and what you will do with the next steps you
take in gratitude or grievance for your choices going forward if you are
allowed back up tomorrow!
Me LORD JUST KEEP ME in all the moments!
