¹⁴ Do everything without complaining or arguing. ¹⁵ Then you will be blameless and innocent. You will be God’s children without any faults among people who are crooked and corrupt. You will shine like stars among them in the world ¹⁶ as you hold firmly to the word of life. Then I can brag on the day of Christ that my effort was not wasted and that my work produced results.

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

Wow, I wish we could just easily read a bible verse and feel the truth in it.  But generally, we get caught up in what we the people make us feel at the time of something going on.  When you are in the middle of something even if you did not do anything wrong, you can feel the weight of others panic, frustration and allot of times accusations.

Sometimes people just have a way of taking something done in kindness where it takes from you what will never be given back and truly raise the layers of insignificance and need to keep you from every serving in any capacity again.

I can assure you we all were created in God’s image and given live by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.   One of my forever favorites is the Loui Giglio Lamin story and conference of How Great is our God.  That alone shows and tells us the truth over all things that no matter what others judgement of what we do, don’t do; what we look like or don’t look like; what we have or don’t have clearly does not matter in the eyes of the creator.

Lamin is the glue that holds us together and we are clearly made in the image of God that Jesus Christ poured his blood out in to the ground and Jesus than breathed dust into life and humanity that somedays are far reaching being humane in anyway.   The intent of love and unity was clear.

Yet we are forever chasing bigger, better, wanting more, better performance, better response and absolutely only talk with, to, or invite those who do not fit the mold we have in our minds eye.

Easily and freely talking about or directly to without the remembrance that every single soul was created with purpose and unique blessings as well as the least of these.

 

Anyway

We all have a dream and for as long as I can remember no one has ever been a stranger and unity has always been something I wish for everyone.   Yet, always so far in the distance.

So what a ride this weekend, being requested to assist in seeing a beautiful soul baptized, feeling, participating and serving with God in the house.  

Although getting kudos and acknowledgment for working hard to make a difference or even just showing up to make a difference in someone else’s life doesn’t hurt…

Speaking from recent experiences, riding that wave blessed while continuing to grow forward one baby step at a time.   THANK YOU, JESUS!  

Without your creation, your sacrifice, your father God wanting relationships.   Never would I have been able to ride the wave and survive the falls, the being pulled under, not falling, or getting knocked off when on the top.   It is you and you alone that allows me the blessings of the challenges, the tragedies, the gifts and all the things we think we deserve because we work hard and sometimes are truly acknowledge with simple words and acts of kindness or sometimes more.    

Your timing Jesus.   Help me see the Yes’s, understand the No’s, and absolutely wait on your timing.

So many sufferings; still the hard cold war at the hands of evil for no reason but their selfish dark fulfillments.    Jesus heals the broken, comfort those in need, shine bright and rescue your people.  

Just like you are parting the Red Sea: Father protects and give rest for those stuck in the wars.   Bring justice to those who scheme and ploy for their own personal gains.   Cut the rotten fruit out Jesus as one has done in the past.   Wake us up as there must be a way to bring God truly back in this world.

May Gratitude pour out and fill the empty cups, so they run over in abundance for all you have allow each day we get back up.   If we are to serve, may you direct the very steps of what is to be.  If it is not of you, may we, may I not be part of it.

Thank you for this new day, the sweet aroma of love and the ability to not fall apart as I am chiseled away.  Your will be done.   Be with every connection I have and am blessed to know.

May we never forget where we have been; but may we never continue to live there.  For greater things are left in you in any tomorrows we are given.

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

Yeah! The thing about working, living, or assisting folks with emotional needs.  One minute things are perfectly fine; but as soon as something triggers them the world has come to an end.  It could be something they see, something they hear, the way they hear your response or just not liking the response that you have given.

This impacts not only manic personalities but those who are tied closely to them.    Anyone that lives near or with someone who suffers from addictions and wreckless behaviors and just won’t stop; or those who are overwhelmed themselves from the sudden outbursts that sometimes become vocally or emotionally abusive or stressing.

It could be your spouse, your partner, your child, even you.

So, what is it that we are supposed to do when the weariness grows heavy.   Share a burden with those you are supposed to care about.   We should never be carrying the weight all our own.  First of all take every single piece of it to the foot of the cross.

 

Only God through Christ Jesus can give us the peace needed during any trial or tribulation and only God can fix, heal, comfort, and change a living souls situation.   Anything we do is only temporal buffers to where they get to decide what they want before they act again next.

Yes, of course all the time professional healers should be the discernment and guidance.   But I will disagree 200% that every single person having depression or anxiety must be put on some pill.   Especially just after a 30 minute meeting with someone they never seen before and sent home to be part of a growing statistic.

 

As a Parent, Aunt, Sister, Grandmother, friend and child of the creator who is the same being that created ever single thing in this universe.   That has allowed me to care and not just look the other way.  I find myself over time enabling or caring too much for things I cannot control.  

If I truly did not feel I cannot imagine where I would be in this world right now.  Nor would I know what would be happening with the heartstrings that have been allowed to intertwin around my very being.

As I watch those heart strings slowly self-destruct and chisel away at their very blessings I can only pray and thank God for the moments of here and now.

Timing I wish my day to day had a view into God’s timing to know what next or the power to change things for all who suffer.   Before they do.  But then that is the dreamer that comes out knowing how badly Christ suffered just so we could live.    What is it that I would change so others would truly never have the opportunity to find life every day they are given and called to get back up.

 

How do we rise up?   Not alone that is for sure.    I would have never thought I lived to be where I am today much less be called way out of my comfort zone to allow this mind maze pour out for the world or even lead different programs in helping to be a seed to light in this world that can get so dark in 0.60 any given day.    I wish I had the answers to stop the hate, stop the drama, stop the crazy that just melted down and innocence is being destroyed.

All I know is we have the ability to believe in something.  We have the power and strength and courage to choose.   Right, Left up or down.    We need to own it our choices and make a difference and work towards change for the better when things are not pure and worth shining on.

We need to own the fact of giving our children a chance for a future no matter how many days will be given.

I wish I could take a child’s pain or even the anger and the attitude they feel they must incur and start living day to day to be something or somebody because society has said this is how it should be.

Never mistake any of my kindness for weakness or even one tear drop at any time.  I can assure you my emotion or caring has nothing to do with what I am willing to do in standing on the ground that Christ Jesus as allowed me to see and walk.

 

I will forgive the sinner in a heartbeat, but never allow the sin to burn me twice.  I have learned to take all the trust that was destroyed in this world and love from a distance.   Leaving the rest up to the same Lord almighty, that breathed me into life from dust to start with.

 

Jesus for all the broken pieces in my life; all the connections you have given me to do life somehow, someway.  Thank you.   In your mighty name may the same God that raised you back up to his right hand; heal those silently crying or screaming out to you.   Hear the unspoken, give strength and guidance in the choices for life.    Mercy and Grace pour into every soul I am blessed and turn on that heart lamp and guide in the power and name of Jesus for all that is good, all that is clean and all that builds us up.

Placing all those beautiful mixed up broken pieces into God’s canvas and allowing us all to see who you are and always will be.

On this day where this mind maze is watching helplessly those struggling to understand how loved and needed, they really are.   Those who will never fill the void even when they are gone because they chased what consumed them.

Calling all God’s angels to shine bright for all those that need us and Christ more than ever.

 

God Turn this world around~

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

Don’t ever forget who you were created by, and in the image of.   Even when you stop hearing the music for the times in your life that the layers get so heavy you can barely breathe.    You are created in the image of God.  Check out  Loui Giglio DNA and Laminin    so don’t ever forget how great and amazing the creation of life really  is.   Here is the full session How Great is Our God Laminin Louie Giglio Full Movie

It is an older conference that was shared for the world to refer back to or stumble across or just every now and again be reminded that someone needs to hear and see words of truth.

I am not a theologian I have said this all my life.  Once I got past my selfish me’ism in the growth of my journey.    I have allot of history and blessed to say many years of life full of what in the world is considered ups, downs, good, bad.  Worthy or discarded trash.    It is all in the minds eye of the beholder of thoughts that spew what they think and release next called their own views or perceptions.

Who am I?   Always Me.   Gifted another day to get back up.

Our struggles and deep joys in abundance are no different now than what they were thousands of years ago.    The difference is how we react, or act upon each day we are allowed back up.   None of us are will ever be truly worthy of the life that Jesus breathes into us.

No matter what is going on around us, what we are going through, what we have what we do not have, what we have done or what is being done.   We are not alone; it is the same blood that has poured down that cross into the ground where Jesus was crucified. That he then breathed dust into beginning and called us life.   Are and always will be held together by the same sacrifice he has made to give us eternal life in love, for love and most of all with love.

When we finally understand who we are and called to be in life we do more than just run home.   We are set free, with our souls forever fly high with the Holy Spirit: EVEN IF, EVEN WHEN!

It seems somedays for all of us the struggle is too much.    But what I can say from my own personal experiences from that throw away kid to putting everything I am and have in people, places and things and having it torn into bits or used for selfish ambitions leaving me bleeding out left to be consumed by the darkness.

Thank you, Jesus, you have given me the strength and courage to continually get back.  So, I may take and have to hand paint by brush a 1500 square foot exterior house to bring my soul back to center.  Or take on projects or eve dive into others just to find those broken pieces or fill in the gaps with the new colors and design you want me to take on.

Today is here and although stuff will happen as it did yesterday, it will soon pass as yesterday is gone and all we can do is hold tight to your promises and keep getting back up and fighting forward.

Learning not to hate the very people, places and things that broke them in the first place.

Coming out of the darkness sometimes takes time.   But surrounding ourselves with the body of Christ and staying in deep relationship with him.   You know him! God the father, Jesus Christ the son who was sacrificed in love, for love and life so we could live and the Holy spirit.    And we are and will be filled with even the slightest flicker of hope and light to shine on.

Do you believe?

We all believe in something, someone.  In fact, at times, we put all we are into those things and forget who allows us to be in the first place.   Then when that rug is pulled out and we are the last man or woman standing we are truly crushed and unable to know how or where to go next.   Or worse yet we allow our hurt of what we do not understand to become anger and hate towards anyone and everyone and allow it to pour out into the world.

 

So, no matter if it is something like hiring a professional company and paying lots of money to do something and the job or project goes sideways.   Or just simple little day to day just adding up.  Ground yourself in the goodness of God.   Be it finally hearing the music to allow you to dance deep within your soul or just finding his beauty in a wide open plain or beautiful skyline, rolling hills or vast oceans, mountains, or natures creations.

 

I surrendered a long time ago trying to save the very gifts of life that were allowed to me.   When in the end it saved and filled me with so much abundant peace and love.   I will never be able to fully describe it.

I didn’t pick it.  I wasn’t raised up in a family of God.  Nope I use to joke that my family from the beginning of time put the capital D in dysfunction.   Just when I grew up realized we all share that gift even if we don’t want to own it.

No matter what or who I have in my life.   I am blessed, beyond all the messages from messes or lessons, painful or not.    I am beyond deserving blessed to have met Jesus right where I was.   Just as you are and can be.

 

Thank you Jesus, you know each and every thing for every second before our time, during our time and absolutely after.   No matter how many prayers I may pray that you do hear and do fulfill.   We each must call upon your name daily for ourselves.  

So please Jesus, for those silently crying out hear them, fill them, be in them.

Direct our steps, fill our souls, and absolutely help only speak and give the seeds of life.

 

From healing, to direction, to comfort, protection.  Peace on earth and all good will to every man, woman or child.    You are and always will be.   The truth, the way and abundant life!

 

Thank you for all I am and can be with you.

A whole new thing it’s a new day, new way, new opportunity, New Year!   Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you for allowing me to rise again.

Thank you for allowing my family one more time.

Thank you for the memories as this being the first year, I can’t have that long conversation with pops for his birthday.

Thank you for the ability to feel so much comfort looking around.   Counting my blessings and it is far more than that Sunday morning feeling!

We all need you Jesus.  No matter if we choose to own the truth or not.  We can talk the talk when anyone asks and keep up presentation.  But you God know us with every single broke thought that we some how manage to put back all wrong on any given day.

Jesus, I pray for all those in my heart for healing.   Jesus, You know All things, I believe.   Be it the lonely aunt, the mothers fading memory, the addictions, the voids that will never be filled without you.   Jesus you are still healing me every second of every day I am given.  Please give that healing to all I am blessed connect in this journey.

Be it in the living room, out on the river, far up the mountain looking down or crawling out that valley… You Father God, Prince of Peace have us.

More than anything I will ever deserve, yet you allow me to call you friend, lover of my soul, daughter of the you King Jesus!

I will forever need you as much then as I did in the beginning or even right here and now.

Oh Lord, you know I trust so much, thinking why I should not; no one owes me anything.   Yet I get caught up in my own storms when I do that: Yet you Jesus are showing me how to build that boat and surrender to all you are.    Show me, lead me, direct my steps, give me the words, give me the strength and all that courage that is needed for those storms that will pound more than the flesh we are given to travel within.

 

You are and always will be~   No matter who comes to know you or not.   No matter who is given or taken.

Thank you for allowing me to know this.

Thank you for another year even if 2022 was one of those stuck at times out in the wilderness just fighting to keep focused on where you were leading me.  Or getting lost cause I thought I could do it on my own.

 

Happy Blessed New Year

Prayers, wishes, for all my connections, friends, family near or far. A very healthy blessed, exciting new year.  May we always know the worth of life we are given.  Be it our own or the souls we are allowed to connect.  May we understand the price of blessings every day allowed back up and connect.   May we never take for granted getting back up.  and always pay it forward with love, kindness and gratitude no matter how long or short the journey we take.

Merry Christmas everyday not just December 25^th.    What a beautiful name Jesus: Thank You! 

It is not without missing those who went way ahead.  Cathy 10 years now; you are never forgotten my friend, my sister through marriage.   Pops, our first year with mom and her first ever truly celebrating Christmas her kids together another year.    The bittersweet times we have shared over time; but change truly eminent.   Thank you for the opportunity allowed to be part of your calling and have the peace even in the overwhelming moments of life, liberty, and the grand pursuit of truly knowing you Jesus!

Old friends resurfacing, loved one’s missing, others lost in the world.  Watching heartstrings dealing with their own knots all tied up without anyway to help.    Then serving to help share your word, your name, and your love to over 900 souls.  Where they learned who you were from even the beginning of time.

As I sit blessed, nothing fancy, but not without.  I pray for the souls of the youth trusting in each other as they make mistakes, and the choices bite hard and leave scars.   Or for those who never knew good from darkness.   Teach them father.   Shine the light boldly on all who participate in negativity, harm.   Your justice Jesus!   You are the judge, Lord; we are just the guides.     For all those suffering, in the dark, in the cold, in the storm, in the hell that they have fallen.   Wrap them up father tightly in your loving arms.   Filling them with direction, with love, with peace so they know how much they mean to you.

 

You know all things.   Good, bad, in different.    We need not point out the flaws.  Leading our brothers and sisters and reminding them not to sin.  But it belongs to you.   No matter how much it hurts.   We give it to your mercy and grace.     We pray, we lift them in in person, and in spirit.  We all get to choose and we all absolutely 210% own what happens next be it we want to or not.

   Forgiveness!  Love and grace!!

From the twinkling stars to the beautiful lights on a tree celebrating a holiday that is for your birth but filled with so much that does not include you.   The reason for the season of life is every second we are allowed to just exhale.    

 

In 2022 there is so many reasons of heartbreak and reasons to not want to go on.  So many reasons we beg for healing and help.  Or we lash out through all the pain we have flowing through every single cell in our bodies from what we did, didn’t do or all of what others have done to us or taken.

 

As this year wraps up Father.   I am a child of God then, now, and always.  I am forgiven and free; as I am not worthy but fight forward to continue to be more like you will, your ways.    The deep yearning of humanity is so different than I ever was in days gone by.   For this I don’t fully understand but I am beyond grateful.

In this crazy world and those days, I feel more human than I should.  May your spirit continue to guide all that I can be.   Thank you for all that has been and all that may be any tomorrow.

Heal this hate Jesus

Stop the wars, allowing true unity in peace.   Removing the madness, the mad men.  Reconcile the broken hearts to you.   Lead us to the cornerstone that is our eternal firm foundation.  From the prison walls, dark damp hollow ground or endless tunnel walls.

 

There is no material things that will ever fill the void or bring the eternal light that carries us through but that of Jesus Christ.  For this I am thankful that I am able to be called upon His will to proclaim even on my worse days.  May your will pour through the airways and light the candle of life everlasting.   What that looks like maybe it is the streets of gold with beautifully jeweled pearly gates maybe it's just the sunrise or sunsets. 

One thing for sure it will all be made new when we all get to heaven with you.

No more looking from the outside in.   We either will be in your grand house, or we will not with hopes and prayers for all those who never got it in time to choose.

If only all the little seeds planted just instantly took growth.  But I get it even what I do not understand why some take kindness for weakness.  Or caring for selfish ambition or opportunity to take advantage of what was meant to beautiful.    One day we will all see.

No matter what we build up in the here and now.  In the blink of an eye, matters not when we are called to be reconciled!

 

Thank you for this year and though it may not be over, maybe it is only you really know.   I am forever grateful for every lesson, message through life I have been given.  Though I am awake or just dreaming with my eyes wide open.  This heart and depth of this soul is yours.   Near or far, filled up or emptied out.   You give and take away.  Strength lacking in the weariness I will never be able to do this on my own and am forever grateful for you.

Thank you!
