Love it when Facebook says what's on your mind?

Gosh what is not on my mind these days.

As I watch those, I love struggle to overcome what just about killed them from brokenness to broken hearts.

Putting all they have, and some seems meniscal to others while its everything and others so much. In the end our nothing is everything because we cannot take anything with us when we check out of here.

When I see people so easily caught up for the moment and not living in the moment. Perspective as everyone has a story and everyone is going through something.

Innocence slaughtered never given a chance with instant change what we do not like and never know what respect and accountability is from the inside out. Only the one extreme to the next violating and robbing all that we are created to be.

When I see the two sides of many faces.

Where one many see such awesomeness, gentle, kind spirits and as soon as they walk through the other door when people are not watching they become the unauthorized judge, jury and executioner because somewhere, someone told them they were filled with God privileges and need not expose their own past, or dirt of today.

As I watch children think all they have in life is what they can hold and use in the hands the are attached to the body God allowed to come into this world.

Or how the many will scream they hate this world they have nothing when the simple blessing of a meal, a roof over head, designer clothes and so much more abundantly fall at their feet and they are just burning up in luxury compared to the dirt floor, tin roofs or dumps that so many others are forced to dwell within.

What about the poor me, the victim within the no one really cares when we have not spent the time to invest in our very own beings allowed to breathe one more day.no real relationships with anyone that cares at the age of a child

Those struggling with anxiety and depression being suffocated by such a cruel harsh world or just reality of what everyone screams about but dares to do nothing to be the change.

Yes, depending on the age, it is that lovely transcending of growing up and accepting responsibilities. Where some never do and others way before their time was due.

So, what about the children, what about our future of this world? The damning stench of war and evil pouring so much blood into the dust from which we were all created.

We can all absolutely point fingers; name call and continue to say hateful slanderous things all the while not once even picking up the match to try and be the light a flicker of hope this world so desperately needs.

If you cannot find a good person; Be that one!

If you cannot see the light; Be one!

Stop casting judgement on all the backage everyone is carrying around and try to help the burden of their carrying it. Help them unload it to the hands and feet of the cross and give it all to the one who gave everything so we could live all the while deserving nothing just filled with hope and love that we would turn to all that he created us to be. And love unconditionally and allow Him to guide the truth. Not some fairy tale made up worldly lies that only destroy anything good in the end.

So, it has been a bit since my daily blog, and it just struck me as to what is on my mind do you really want to know.

Nothing is ever going to be free there is a price for everything.

Nothing is ever going to be easy. If you think it, is you will pay tenfold more because it's not worth having, being or doing.

Your nothingness Jesus is my everything. Without the blessings of all you give on loan for any of us to have and be good stewards. May the one blessing be that every single connection has you deep within their hearts, minds and souls and know the truth in love, prosperity and all that endure eternal.

Wow

When you continually change what you’re doing for so many people, places and things. After awhile it can get heavy when you just do not have enough of anything left for self-care.

There is few and far between that I would ever change as it would change who I am and how I came to know Jesus.

But even the believer has days where things are just screaming ENOUGH already!

All the while smiling deep within looking at what I have been able to see the other side through on.

This year has been a ride for sure.   Ever since Pops died and Mom came down to live at families.

I get to visit in-between work and my service to the church.

Now brining Mom over here and there to spend the night but never at my opportunity but when family needs to do other things.

And yes, frustrating sometimes as I work 12 hours a day sometimes, I have to squeeze any and all appointments in after work which then get squeezed out.

Leaving me to feel selfish or is it because I work my tail off and pay for a home that I have gotten so my family will have stability and at times I give up more than I have to offer.

Or just once it would be nice to hear and see how grateful those are that live within how blessed they really are.

Ohhhhh,  this is not a gripe session

I get it as I read someone who has a six-month-old with three other kids talking about how some days they just want to quit.

Not knowing what their support system is or if it is just post-partum blues for them.  No matter it is as real for them as it is for me on the days, I have to push things that are scheduled out months.

Maybe the selfishness is kicked in if I think about it because I wonder where my support system at times is.

I have given myself away to so many and the only one’s that come back are those needing, wanting more.

Perhaps the rose-colored glasses needed to come off with those who took advantage and I let them drain the last bit of trust and the way I look at anyone.

Not that I judge, I just do not need to be in awe for anyone for anything that cannot be in awe for their own being and the greater good of any part of their future or that of paying it forward for others.

I am my own worse critic and can absolutely beat the daylights out of myself easily.

Forgetting to forgive my own mistakes as quick as I do others.

Still does not make me want to not get on a ship and just disappear at times into the sunset.

I can say the pressure of getting a 4-point inspection done with a wind mitigation for new homeowners’ insurance is as stressful as opening my homeowners annual renewal bill to see the increase of 43%.

Of course, after a new hot water heater because the other was on its way out and ancient and uncoverable by current laws.   And having an electrician go through this 1990 shack to confirm everything was really up to code. 

Then waiting for the results of what else has changed that I need to be investing in when buying someone else’s place some years back.

Think too much about what we have no control.  Heck yes!   

Feel too much for those disrespectful moments where you would like to teach today’s generation what respect is.  Heck yes!

Get weighted down when you put your car in the shop to check why a tire sensor came on and won’t go off to see that not one, but two tires are pealing apart.     Which thank God I was not out on the highway running 70 and it came apart.

Yet here I am just needing to figure out how to get back to my car to pick it up and move forward with blessed another day.

Maybe this is why I have not been writing.   Because unlike any romance novel life is hard and full of triggers that make or break any given day.

We lift our eyes and our hearts and prayerfully feed our spirit 24/7 but even then, no-where was it ever written to be easy.   And for me well I cannot do this on my own, but I absolutely hate being a complainer.

I so empathize with those going through the continual layer's day after day.  Be it work life balance, finance, relationships which by the way you must have in everything and anything you do to some degree.  As without them well as we see the world churning and burning.   The lack of relationship and communication is nothing but chaos, hurt and pain.

Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me to release some of this mind maze as I try to keep it simple and not pour out just another want to be romance story of life.    The black and white is what it is until it is not. 

Without you I would be beyond lost.      I too would be the nasty mouthed responder when someone asks me for something.   Or even worse self-destructive ticking time bomb just waiting for the wrong trigger to be pushed and take whatever collateral damage is in the way.

I wish I could change the world, Father.  For my own and yes in reality somedays for myself so I didn’t have to see, hear, or experience reality as harsh as it can be. 

Reality as when things were so simple and now constantly ever working through day by day.   Some better some not.  All Blessed.

If only our tomorrows held our every priceless moment in front of us to know just how precious your creation really is, Jesus.

Until that day comes if it ever does.  May I never forget who I am in and with you.  May I never stop praying and shining any bit of light and hope even in all those things that will come to pass.

Thank you then, Thank you now!

Psalm 95:6-7 (GNT) Good News Translation

⁶ Come, let us bow down and worship him;
    let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
⁷ He is our God.
    we are the people he cares for,
    the flock for which he provides.

Listen today to what he says:

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

Oh, August where did you go?

 

In the rush of days through all work hours.

In the building kits of this or that.

In the dealing with storms and sickness that surround us daily.

In the watching and waiting and fighting forward

In the day to day of all that changes because of the world’s regulators

 

Weary sometimes paralyzed broken for those we love or just our own.

Our time is fleeting although God’s will never be compared.

 

We are allowed back up one more time and chasing the love of the dreams that make us feel something other than what most are left with.

 

From the broken pieces of those we love to which perhaps our own shards landed and created the shattered pieces without enough creativity or glue to get past and look back at something beautiful from the other side.

 

Or maybe just nothing to do with us at all and just the pebbles to that build up the path in our everyday journey.

 

Thank you, Jesus, then, now and any tomorrows I am allowed.

 

Even when it hurts, even when it heals and even when we have moved so far past but look back and see as if it were right here, right now.

 

The privilege of one more day!

The beauty in the ashes and beyond privilege to knowing you Jesus!

 

Where so many empty promises and static noise we the people of this world make, believe or are broken by.

 

You alone are steadfast and true.

 

I have never known anything like you Jesus in this human form.   Though I have wanted so often to feel from the outside in exactly what you feed this soul.   You are! You Will! Always forever BE!

 

If it is not today

If it was not yesterday

There will be a silver lining and beyond brighter days for our joy and glory is the glorification of you Father, Son and Holy Spirit

 

Come and let the world see you are and always will be the life raft to shine through all that seems dark.

 

Lost in love

Designed for passion and compassion

Needing the living water to quench the thirst that only you fill us with

 

May all I am connected come to know your blessing Jesus

My people, my children, my friends, my acquaintances, and those that cross the path you allow  

 

Pour through me, to flicker just briefly to plant the seed where you Jesus grow in the hearts of man.

 

Strength, courage, and destiny will never withstand who you are in love.

 

So, no matter how our industry increases at 43% driving people from their homes or watching desperately for the war to end in the zones.

We need you Jesus

I need you all day every day!

Thank you for allowing me to know that.

Whatever will be, will be – lead me and all I am allowed connection

 

Hands high

Face down

Then, or now

 

You are the air I am allowed

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

Wow a week past and it has been a whirlwind.   Crazy how one day you look up and all you thought you could possibly have gotten back to is long gone and although there are beautiful memories, messages, and lessons along the way.    You realize you can never get back anything already gone.

 

Look up!

Look around, always!

 

A snake will not let you know it is there, until it's too late and you are on top of it or worse yet have been bitten.

 

Don’t sweat the small stuff that is not in your control. REALLY there is always something far bigger lurking around the corner if you remain reckless and Waller in self-pity.

 

Stuff happens all the time!

 

All the while we worry yes even when we say we don’t but we remain so focused on everyone else around us and feel the breaking that you try to pray away and it just is one hell of a roller-coaster ride.    You are robbing yourself from life.

 

None of us know what tomorrow has in store.   None of us can take any of the money, collectibles, or anything else with us when its time to leave this earth.

 

Live now, productively, prosperously, and respectfully.

 

Pay it forward wherever you can go!   Small, big kindness matters all day every day!

 

Survival of the fittest is to always know nothing we have is what keeps us alive.  Nothing we do is who we are and nothing anyone can say matters unless we allow it to.

 

God may control our future end plans, but we direct how smooth or rough the ride along the way getting there will be.

 

There is no shame in wanting to be a better version of ourselves each and every day we are allowed back up.

 

That looks different for each and every one of us.   Could be just the fact of staying healthy, becoming successful in career, writing, playing music, being a great vocalist or putting rhymes to tunes and selling records.   Could be the authentic you, should be the authentic you.  No one else ever.

 

Hold on to what is important to you.  Fight forward together with those who matter, and you matter to them.

 

These past few years have been an awakening reminding me we never really know someone, that everyone is entitled or so we think and that in the blink of an eye nothing matters when you are on a cliff and rushing water is trying to consume your very last breath.

 

Hold dear deep within your veins and soul the memories to be cherished.   No one can ever take them away even in the darkest misfortune that transpires.

 

 

Just to be Held!

Wake us up Lord; from those littles that we collected prayers from to the silent cries, to the bold faith in Jesus’ name mediators.     Wake us up and all we are connected in you Jesus.

 

May we all get it~ Resting in the arms of God!

 

Ask Him to breathe in and help you exhale.

Thankful for all the yesterdays and all the new lessons of today and any tomorrow’s I may be blessed with.

 

Thankful for souls getting back up one more day when it hurts so bad, we cannot move.  Yet, pushing forward and sharing all the love the best way we know through music, gifts of service big or small.    We are because you Lord allow us to be.

 

Thank you beyond anything I will ever be able to repay.     One more family photograph, one more fit of laughter over nothing.   One more project making things more organized, one more song and some tunes out on the counter waiting for the lyrics to come.

 

One more taking me by the hand; Lead me Jesus with and in all you want me to be next to, next in, next up or next down.    May I never stop feeling your perfect peace and love.

 

May all I do have purpose for you even when I will never see it. 

 

From death, may we live now.

From life, may we die to self and live with and for you Jesus no matter what that looks like.

 

I need you more now than ever before!  May I never be made to miss you.
