Wow

So many mixed emotions with no time to think.

Life

Storms coming right at us.

Baby birds flying out of the nest before you even realize they are so ready.

Aging parents needing constant care.

Work, life, and most days imbalance; trying to keep up with it all.

 

You wonder how you could have let strange nonsense rob you from those moments in time where the words of life and light were just seeping from your pours.  Looking back like yesterday when that dream woke you out of a sound sleep with the shudder of a reality days after to be across the world.

The beginning of the worldly heartbreak and so many changes.

Knowing God was not done with any of us yet.  Be it confirmed on the other side or just being allowed to get back up one more day.

Knowing you God are with us every moment, every second of every breath we are given.

I am blessed despite this roller coaster of life and yes, my hands are still held high.    Even if times I feel like I am falling out.

 

Blessed another day

Blessed with shelter

Blessed with family

Blessed with choices to participate in the drama or kick it to the curb

Blessed to be connected

Blessed to dream

Blessed to breathe

Blessed to choose selflessly or selfishly in so many situations

 

If only the world could know the blessings of the most simple things in this life are the most sacred!

What is it that we are chasing or running from?

What about those young adults that have been given life and reproduced so many lives and now out of the blue you learn by their request for money they are consumed by drugs and all you can do is pray the God they spoke about will show up big for them and end the darkness they fell into.  

Losing the present moments for ourselves, for our loved ones, for the gifts of life and babies we are allowed.

Living life on our own terms is a great thing.  As long as we remember to whom we belong!  To whom allows us to breathe deep.

You don’t have to listen to me or anyone else that walks past you day to day;  but what about that one small voice that stops you in your tracks when you know right from wrong, dark from light, good from bad.  What about that gut feeling you cannot get away from?

What about that knowledge that Jesus is real and up until recently you had always believed and lived in unseen faith.  But something got so heavy that you just turned all those silent voices off, masking, staying busy, working, or running into or away.

None of it will change the fact that we are created in the image of God and Jesus Christ died poured out his life for us to live and once we accept that nothing will change that He is within our very being.

We cannot force anyone to understand, believe or those who believe yet think they are okay doing what is wrong to change.

That is between them and God himself.   All we can do is run towards the light.

I am far from any theologian or authority.  I only have many moments of life that have been lived good, bad, and indifferent.   Getting back up, brushing off and driving towards the growth forward.

Spinning sometimes, you know stuck in the mud if you will or knocked off the road into the ruts until I could climb back up.

Not perfect in anyway but perfectly blessed to know this is just the beginning every day I am allowed back up.  And when I cannot get back up any longer, I will be flying high with all Gods angel army!

My being in love and living in the dream that may not align with anyone else or everyone else really does not matter.   Life is what it is until it’s not!  Nothing will change that so to live the best we can with our best self with all the best intentions for me is with Christ, in Christ and most importantly because of Christ.

Now if only all I am blessed could only find that blessing as well!   Shaking off the sadness, while the organized chaos will forever be.   Sometimes overwhelming us, is okay as long as we know who holds our existence in His hands for all that is pure, true, and reflective of growth and light.   May you find yourself all in even when it hurts, even when it heals and even when we do not have any answers.

Stop wasting time on what we do not understand

Stop hating because many will never fit into your lives Snowglobe even if it is continually shook up

Stop chasing what is temporal

Live, Love, Laugh and know God is, was and will always be through Jesus Christ

Coming out onto the main road after doing the school drop.  At the light waiting for my turn when all of a sudden that  rush of emotion floods through.

Wondering and quickly reaching for the radio power button as I am asking what is it God that I need to know?

 

As the words play out with affirmations no matter what God is with me, with us.   The goodness in the storms and the courage when we stand strong in faith of all the good, we do not see while radiating even the smallest flicker of hope in love and grace.

Funny as I think back how hard I once was in my youth and filled with so much world.   To where now I could see a commercial with babies, puppies or kittens that trigger tears streaming freely.

 

Why do we name things like the Peace River that those who settled near are never at peace because they are constantly waiting for the overflow and floods.

Why or how can we go from one direction to do a total 180 and become so different.  Good, bad, or indifferent!

 

God!

We will never fully know or understand but will have that tranquility when we dive deep within.    We don’t know who or why someone named a river that we could never control then allowed homes to be built next to it.   Maybe for the temporal solace and unseen faith that gives us those moments in time.

 

You, We will never fully understand or know the gift of mercy and grace until we meet Jesus, right where we are.   Allowing him to dwell within us and consume all that we are.

WE ALL GET TO CHOOSE.

The beauty of this life is no matter where, when, or how.  We all were blessed with the freedom of choice and what we will say, do or respond or not any given moment of any given day we are allowed back up.

 

We can plant the seeds of hope and light, we can fertilize, or we can be come those weeds that choke the life out of everything that comes in contact with us.

No excuses

You want to be dope smoking, pill popping or worse user and call your excuse an addict.  Go for it.

You want to go out and be the worlds most renowned rescue ranger and sour on the kudos and love from all you do for those you come in contact with.  Go for it.

You want to hold a daily pity party with poor me and be lonely and pitiful. Go for it.

You want to get back up, brush yourself off and keep trying while fighting forward.  Go for it.

 

Those emotions

As a friend

As a parent

As a daughter

As a sister

As a grandparent

As a child of God uniquely made but boldly love so much that Jesus Christ went to the cross and gave all he was so we, so I could have life from that blood that poured out into the dust that God breathed to life.

Beyond blessed I am not who I once was, no matter who gets it or not.

As you are!

 

My story

That broken used up little girl tossed out long before even knowing what life was.

Proving to all who doubted they knew nothing at all.

Those tears wondering in my human kindness why the generations of today cannot fight forward and value who they are past what people see.

At some point we must learn what forgiveness is.

From Jesus, for others and our very own beings.   I am my own worst critic knowing in a heartbeat will remove myself for the mistakes I make.

Stop letting negative rent space in any part of our days given. 

Looking around at the heartbreak and day to day there does not need to be a reason why we become overwhelmed by sadness or grief.  Just get back up and fight hard forwards to not stay there.

Love and cling on to all that is good that feeds your soul, grows your spirit.

If you cannot find a good person to bounce with. Be one!

If you cannot find that lining in the cloud or that light on the path you walk, run or even crawl.  Be one!

 

Or don’t, only you are responsible for the choices of what you fight to live in, for or with.

None of us really know when our time is up.   We think we got it; we think we are in control with the decisions we make.  Yet, control is truly an illusion.

For all those who light up the way; Thank you.    For all who have moved on out of this world into the next.  I so hope when it is my time, I meet you dancing up on those streets of gold in the grand celebration where no more pain, sorrow can ever touch us.

May I never run out of fight, hope, and where withal to keep getting back up.   No matter what triggers the tears or the smiles.

May all I am connected know the heart of Jesus and dive deep in his love and promises for life.

Life is for living, not chasing, not taking, not giving away, it is what we make it.  Love all that you are through every second of every day the good Lord has allowed you to breathe in anything on this planet.

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

Overwhelmed hoping and praying what keeps coming back is not true.  Given others the benefit of the doubt that they too are true and selfless when it comes to caring for the elderly.

It is all in God’s hands.   I must pick my battles as my life is in a war of its own with the battlefield of our minds being the ultimate land mine field.  Just like that child a little bit wild thinking no one knows while everyone does.

I wish I was bullet proof for even Jesus as man bled out and it was the same as you and I today.  The only difference is the blood that poured out of him into the dust allowed the breath of God to create life called humanity in the here and now.

 

Way to deep

But the blood and screams coming from this earth would of, should of could have been so much different if at all with Jesus the son of man.  Had he not in obedience loved like God expected.

 

No amount of money, no amount of certification’s, no amount of flattery will ever change the truth, the light, or the way to bring pure life!

No matter what we are given or going through.   There is a blessing in every single moment we are still allowed to be.

I don’t know how to explain or why this comes to me.  But it is what it is until it is not.

 

A prayer closet or corporate prayer

Real or show

God knows, God sees, for He is, was and will always be.   Though it is hard not to judge the actions or lack of from others. We need to remember no matter how good we think we are or got it; or how bad.  Every one of us will answer the day of reckoning our time to leave this place called earth.   God is the one and only judge.  No matter how good or bad we or anyone that holds our heartstrings live.

 

We can drift away, wish away, want someone to carry us away.  But the only one that really will and can fill any of the many imperfect glamorized words we consume or give.   Or broken pieces we neglect try to put back with so many things of this world.   It is Jesus!  The father, God.  Son of Man, Jesus! And the Holy Spirit that changes us beyond anything we could ever do ourselves.

 Beyond thankful even most days so lost watching time fleeting.    Sometimes a bit empty as I look around and wonder why not me.  Other days remembering nothing was ever to be easy and ever will be free.

 

There is a cost to every single connect but the ultimate priceless gift is that of life through the blood of Jesus Christ.

 

Significance!  Know who you are, know to whom you were created in the image of, know to whom you belong.

Be grateful for those who have impacted your growth forward.

Be thankful for the abundance of each breath given.

Yes, it is beyond hard and sometimes conception just how.  When all those who burn in your soul at times seem like they do not even know who they are much less you.

God has a purpose for any of the pain and plans bigger than any project you can align.

I have to believe he will always be as he has always been fighting for me.

From that little kid wandering along picking myself up and washing the distain off or each day that this heart breaks for that which overwhelms in sorrow or even the beauty of watching others life journey on.

As the stress of thinking a category 4 or 5 hurricane was coming directly for us to know it landed 3 hours sooner south.  And all that internal anxiety even knowing what will be will.    The rush of thoughts and heartbreak for those caught and some not in seriousness needed or soon enough. 

The feelings of sometimes you question God why here, why now for whatever is transpiring.  Knowing it will be him alone that says it is time to move.  Not the fake or false predictions or actions coming out of the mouths of corrupt and selfish souls.

One day those cardboard testimonies that trigger others the need for change.  Until then get back up in the power and love of Jesus Christ calling God the father in your very being.   He is waiting and all this other stuff no matter how much you wait, want will balance to where you are not giving away what you cannot get back.

As this mind maze speaks in broken pieces or riddles waiting for the next superhero movie to translate that the joker is really the demons trying to derail all we are given.

Until that day that makes sense why innocence is taken, love turns to hate, more truth reveals the truth in them never was.   Or the truth is just now  in the presence of God.  You too will find the gift of life being reborn in His resurrection living in your soul day by day or the darkest seconds of night.

Nothing will ever stand against His given mercy in the salvation of the Lord overall.

Everything outside of that is bonus of lessons, blessings, and gifts of choices to be made.

Be it they make sense to anyone else or not.    Know to whom you were created by, in the image of, to be in relation with and for.

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

Okay here we are again It has i

What’s up everyone.    Getting up today just trying to chill out while knowing my God is in full control and when our time is up, and He calls any of us home we just go.

 

Here we are with all that surrounds us in a vast blessed world we were given, and we threw all the blessings to the wayside and chased all that filled moments of what we thought was what life should be.

And when the moments of war ravage and rape innocence or evil dwellers creep in like the sheep in wolves clothing and rob hearts, rob bank accounts, and rob life we wonder how that could have been different.

When we believe or want to believe in humanity no matter how burnt we have been while held to the torch of life.     Yet so often we have to come back and realize people without excuse of sin and harm are just people chasing their own demons.

 

Like the storm chasers that are out waiting for Hurricane Ian to land in Florida and report on the devastations about to come especially for those who laughed off the warnings.   Or even perhaps thought they were untouchable.   Even for those who prepared, and it just was never enough.

 

Only God knows and when it is time; nothing will change that.  Yes, I am right in the line of fire on this peninsula that I moved to 20 something years ago and although not far inland but not on the water but close enough in 12-24 hours will be wondering if it is our time.     Picking up and trying to save what cannot be taken with us when we leave, but just remaining what they say hunkered down and stay as close and safe to loved one’s as possible with a plan.

Where would we have gone up the coast where when mother nature's fury spawns it covers all of us.

Fires in California, floods all over the world.   Storms in the night or storms in someone’s day to day life.    What we do in the calm is what matters.

 

Though I am far from perfect in that space.    Still learning, growing, and doing my best to lead by example.    There are still times when the human comes out.  Be it where stress pours out because I have to stay busy or just anger because I forget who I am and what Christ must think when he looks back and says, “oh that one”  She forgot who I am and who she is in me.

Humbled often yet not near enough walking in humility when trying to be saving grace for others. At least not until after the day to day we face.   At which point we all when we believe see Gods Grace!

 

The older you get, you never forget.   In fact, sometimes you yearn  for those days when you paid attention to that adulting 101 class that just seemed to fly by.

Yet always if you know who you are if you really have been blessed to meet Jesus and find who you are within the depths and beyond heart and soul.   You will always remember to whom you belong.   Praying God will keep you in the moments where you feel Him in everything that consumes our days.

 

What really matters that you are chasing?   Can you take it with you through eternity?   I know dumb questions to so many.  Most want what is front of them until something bad is happening or the depression sets in.   The unfortunate part where some leave this earth before ever getting to know the Basic Instructions for life Before Leaving Earth.     Me I cannot remember the exact day I woke up one day and realized I am not who I once was.   I can tell you when I was living the world and when I changed and sought after something better and lasting filling all the voids and even the reasons why.    That day I only wish happen for everyone far sooner than the stuff we put ourselves through.

It can be overwhelming, kind of like a child in the middle of a cold war with all they knew ripped from them; the love of your life gone with no excuse, but they just don’t want you any longer; or that same love never really existed for the compassion and passion soul satisfying reasons you thought; or what about putting all we are in a career and having all the material items in the world, anything we want.  Yet, each day in the depths of our very being left so alone.

 

No matter what we are chasing, what we are running from or what we are hunkered down and ready to withstand.   None of it matters without the spirit of Jesus the one and only creator living within us.   Love, mercy and grace the unseen faith and lighthouse to all the storms that flood through the veins of the very vessel allowed to take one more breath this very moment.  Even at the brink of devastation or extinction.

 

Where would we go, not listening to all those who have the answers and say should.    What would we do, ask the hundreds of thousands living in the woods around your neighborhoods or swallowing that pill or pushing that needle in.   How can we rectify, justify, or recognize what to do for that child thrown away.    The future of our world our children!  What about them, as they are robbed from life, innocence and left for vultures.

 

Maybe it is the great purge taking place with our government bodies lining their pockets and turning their back on moral values and truly helping the future grow forward.   Instead shedding light on the same dirt their opponents in the game of power played with they shine open to reflect the dirty secrets and misery of others first so they can set their place on life’s game of chess until someone comes and knocks them off.

 

Thankful in all that I have seen and experienced and beyond blessed for the reprieve and forgiveness overtime I have been given.    Praying all I am connected, good, bad, known,

or unknown God consumes every single soul in love and life. For love and life!

Thankful he paused and pauses this mind maze.  And without a doubt aligns me and my focus where it needs to be.    Be it work, life or trying to find that balance.

 

We are all broken people!   Never forget that no matter if we are performing or not.    Keep it real deep within that spirit you have been breathed in for another day to choose what you will do, what you will say.  How you will react in the good, in the bad and in all the unknown.

I could be out here writing about all my long-lost loves, or my very own romance of what it would be loved from the outside in.   I could write about all the ups and down of being a parent, how unselfish we have to become when we open our hearts and doors to what is not our responsibility.    I could write about the best romance movies, or what it would look like to in this head of mine if I truly lived life for the flesh and all the temporal seconds that fleet us.

What deep gratification to hear from those years past and it is seeming like yesterday.     What it feels like to be on the other side looking in.  Or truly knowing the blessing is knowing we are gifted with the vessel and ability to choose in all the freedoms Jesus gives while passing through on this journey called life.

I will never say not to love hard, because that is exactly what it is especially when trying to hold what is meant for only moments in time.    Even if we haven’t seen it yet or never will.   

Never look down on anyone that does not fit your circle, your view, your expectations.    In fact, it will be your blessing to give them a helping hand.

We are all guilty be it we know it, see it or not that person in need on the side of the road or before, during or after the storms of life come.

 

Know your boundaries and know why you will or will not!

Live, Love and Laugh and on those in between moments Let it hurt! Let it heal! Let it go!     Need for nothing but the one who sustains the very air in your lungs.     Dive in and feed your soul in truth and light! BibleGateway.com: A searchable online Bible in over 150 versions and 50 languages.

 

No matter what you choose, know without the gift of life from Jesus none of it matters.   Love those you were given while you have them.  Love yourself and lead by example.  Someone is always watching and trust me it is not what you have, that makes you, You!

Until next time I am blessed for another day as you are.  Make it count.   Be the light amongst all the darkness trying to consume every second of any day.

None of us can do it on our own; and though I would not want to ever lose those who I have been given in this life.   But I am beyond blessed to have met Jesus right where I was and allow Him to fill me with all the promises of hope, life, and light.   The peace beyond all that hurts or twists us up is indescribable for all days.
