Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
To
be blessed in this journey is only that of who beholds the truth in the way of
the one who allows breath. To try and
understand from the outside looking in.
You will never really understand where it starts or where it ends. But every soul connected along the way. Has given meaning, love, lessons to each new
day.
Thank
you, Lord, for allowing me up, thank you for allowing me broken pieces along
the way.
Thank
you for the deepest desires that very few have washed over me like that 100-foot
wave. As the days come and go. Forever You God. No other words, that is all I understand
right here right now; that is all I can believe and reveal as I go.
Waking
up thinking why I left that alarm on, and why do I have to have so many pets in
this house. Once they even hear me roll
over it is a done deal.
Feeling
a little meh!~
Last
night coming in from the market and going to grab the milk dropping it and the
jug splitting wide open from the seam and milk going all over the kitchen
floor.
Nope
I do not cry over spilled milk ever. Even
the broken glass containers that sometimes shatter in this life no longer
matter when you look at the grand scheme of things in today’s world.
Meh!`
why?
I
have nothing to get up for today it is Saturday after all. Minor details of knowing one is alive and
still movement in this body. Thankful
Lord regardless of what is or what is not you gave me another new day.
Getting
the pets fed and out, now sitting down to tap out some of what this mind never
turns off.
First
thing thinking of Love, thinking of God thinking just how beautiful to feel
something so meaningful. Perfect with Ed
S. comes to mind. One of my favorite
thoughts dancing in the dark or the daylight it does not matter. Just being held knowing you are loved.
Where
you just breathe in the essence of the depths of one’s soul. Sneaking those moments before world invades
and suddenly the persona of expectations take over and suddenly, we cannot even
recognize why we started or much less how we will allow it all to end.
Looking
in from the outside always sometimes more than others. Just knowing this is not where your dreams
begins or ends. Just never knowing how or
what to do. So the only thing you do know
absolute is the peace and love that walking with the maker of heaven and earth
allows.
Not
settling, not even giving up. Just knowing
you are a different shade of pink and they will always be a different shade of
blue.
Wanting to believe what once was in the depths but you know there is so much you do not even want to know.
Not flawed, you would have to be looking for something with expectations and really be granted the power to point out the flaws.
Just
the package deal we get sometimes is far greater than we want to step out of
the comfort zone in truth to take on knowing in the end love in purity and just
living simply is all that could ever be.
Yours,
mine too much too beautiful to ever allow the souls to be mucked up by a world
that uses up truth leaving us broken in the corner never to be felt or seen it does not matter for any boy or girl.
No
matter how crazy or hot that fire inside through words is ever described. Just always having that great respect for the
blessing of knowing reality and desire and hope just somewhere in time.
Great
adoration for oh so many, that sweet soul spirit leader that you would do anything
for God to help shine the light through.
But
no where in the cards, in this vision was there ever a plan for you.
Forever
my heart smiles even through the tears.
Like
for that which is special forever in my prayers.
It is
never a game, never chasing fame, never part of the collector’s plot. That love for who the depths of you only
never for what is to come or what you have got.
Feelings
deeply, life movement through any thought more so in every song.
Calling
out this wandering spirit to come back home.
Much
needed time away, as God has opened the vast window to the airways. So much cooking up within, just for life in
this broken world not sure what to believe all the while holding my voice in
what is bursting at the seams to be able to say.
I
will never run; this is truth on any given day.
However sometimes you have to lay down your arms and just let it go and
be what may.
Never
will I take away anything out of a journey for anyone on any given day. Sometimes you just
have to know your worth, owning your journey and choose your happy.
So,
when God whispered your name and had me look your way. Not for a minute did I believe you were being
the real you.
Playing
along cause is it not that what we are supposed to do?
It
is all good because I am out long before anyone plays foolish games.
I
personally do not care what you look like or even what is in the name.
I personally
know I have never been like anyone else and my heart will forever smile and
never be the same.
I
personally know I am forever a Jesus Girl; no matter what seeps out or is forever
hidden deep down. No matter the smiles
for I know whom I belong on any given day.
Here
and now as the world spins. Not even as weird as it may seem.
Dig
deep walking forward no matter what we do.
Always have a pure heart, and hands that are forever clean.
Unfortunately
depending what path, we have taken, the world will always make that harder than
it ever has to be.
Yet,
we get to choose. You or Me. We get to choose even that which we can never
touch but forever see.
Father
God, you know and see everything. Let
what you will to grow and what should not just let it be.
Guide
and protect those of us who daily get back up no matter what was wrong or right
but get back up to grow forward having no issues to shine your light.
This
great land you allow us to wander, needs you and all your angel army to come
end the darkness now.
For
me Lord, Give me one reason not to cling
to you, give me one reason to not share that what is flowing through these veins.
Anyone
can be a great storyteller; anyone can have anyone they choose.
I
am just a speck in this airway whom you allow to get back up. Torn, broken more ways over the years than
any given day.
Pieces
of me of you in this beautiful mosaic abstract game of life. Stuck in the middle of that sweet and sticky
huge bun.
How
many will take what they do from anyone because they can. It does not matter my insecurities, honest
jealousy, flaws, and scars.
Life
is what it was, I am not nor ever will be who you are. I am always me; beautifully broken to and
through the eyes that see. To the
creator I am everything He has ever wanted me to be.
Even
if I cannot willfully pretend, I could manage anything more for which scares
the hell into me.
Rise
up in unity Lord all you have called to be.
Allow Love deeply blessed before
you the one true King.
Never
stop allowing love from a distance and call to order, call to action the great
healing that right here right now is needed.
Bless
the soul lost who pretended but ended up not enough for existence in this world
to be.
Release in all I am what you want me to do
or who you want me to be. Forever hold
me in your dreams you know you are always in my thoughts as I pray you forever
think of me. https://youtu.be/Vf0qw6aVt_E @
“You’ll Think Of Me” @Keith Urban
One
day we will see the light, be it here or on the other side. Just always know Jesus is the only one truth
that will allow anything to ever be. https://youtu.be/BhasSpSBdEE @ “Ever Be” @Kalley | We Will
Not Be Shaken
Sometimes you just need to absorb the alone time so the weirdness works itself out.
No one knows what will or if tomorrow will be. Never explain how or why you feel anything
All it does is leave us feeling and looking foolish.

Leviticus 19:18
(NIRV)
18 “ ‘Do not try to get even. Do not hold
anything against any of your people. Instead, love your neighbor as you love
yourself. I am the Lord.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank
you, Lord, for this new Friday that you have allowed me up to find your beauty,
your blessings, and so many opportunities with any choice I make.
Everything
always happens for a reason and we can chase the world trying to find out why
or how we can convince the maker of all things why we should change those
reasons. Perhaps because we are
scared, broken from previous reasons or it just does not make sense. Which would be the reasons we do anything.
Be
it try to figure things out, prove something or just walk away. Whatever the end result is from our own
choices on how we handle anything.
However,
when it comes down to needing to know why.
Biblically
speaking Peter tells us about always being ready to give an answer to everyone
who asks concerning hope but not once does, he say give reasons or
reasonings.
Sure, we can try to reason, argue, or even
force our believes why we hold on to hope and faith. But if someone is not with the same faith or
beliefs as you. All you do is end up
spinning on that wheel that eventually throws us into the pool of the world.
Swimming in the sea of sharks with vultures
over head to strong arm us into proving we are wrong, and they are right even
when they do not have a clue why but the exceptions of what they can physically
hold on to.
Always
someone out there watching, always someone wanting something of you but not
willing to give even the smallest slice of who they really are. Even when they are right in front of you all
your life you sometimes really do not know them. Much less those who you never get to meet.
Just
random thoughts as always, thinking forward, thinking back, and knowing all I
have in me is to hope for the Lord Jesus Christ to reveal himself Trying not to get too caught up in the
unknown, lost in my own dream world or promises of the unseen of this world we
live.
Hard,
sad in a way, safe in others. But at
peace just giving all I am to the one who allows me air in these lungs and
holds the key to my eternal soul. All
the while allowing and feeding from the fruits of His spirit to grow within.
Him,
Jesus yes, the one that has been holding me my entire existence all the while I
am working on patients for as long as I can remember.
Knowing
everyone needs to be careful about what they ask for.
As I
know over the years, I absolutely learned to stop asking to learn patience.
Just
as I have been asking to reflect caution and boundaries for what I have been known
to have is a heart.
Too
big and not enough judgement I guess was a blessing and a curse. Naturally blessed with kindness and good
spirits to share; along with love feeding my own need while I without caution
love people for who they are. Feeding my
own needs through outreach, and genuine care.
Peace
yes reading down the list of those Fruits of the Spirit; I work on the peace thing cause everyone that
knows me. Knows how I sometime get
excited over stuff.
Yet
no matter if that excitement is worry or just plain happiness for someone or
something.
I
truly have been blessed with the spirit of self-control especially as I grow forward
with Christ.
Oh,
but there are still moments when I reflect if I could have known then what I
know now!
Sometimes
no other words are needed to describe how blessed and fortunate we become when
we find our way and walk in obedience and truth with all that God is, was and
will be.
Even
on those days when you know you are dealing with people, places and things not
always on the up and up or a fit to be anywhere near what you want to be at.
Anyway,
for those who would like to know what the Fruits of the spirt they are.
Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness,
Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.
I can give you the various verses where to
read up on them but one thing I have learned is we do not really get it or
appreciate things unless we do the work for something ourselves.
That
includes especially growing forward with God and really knowing Him through His
Son Jesus Christ.
Joy
I can say is not that excitement of buying something new that you think you
have always wanted.
It is that deep lasting, fulfilling harmony
that fills your spirit with everything bundled into one. Leaving us with such
great peace you cannot explain why you would ever deserve it.
Yes,
Joy can berobbed from us! Heck yes,
daily especially in the world we have today.
Where everyone is trying to prove their points, everyone is trying to be
in control, and when something goes wrong it seems to all lead back to hate and
anger of some sort.
Not
to mention when you are genuine and you really believe in people, to find out
they are not who you think they are.
Or
when they are who you know they are, but they do things for reasons outside of
what they are tapping into you for.
Yes,
I know that rabbit hole opened up and that could go on a long spiraling adventure
we start talking about why we do the things we do.
Yes,
sometimes just our own choices point blank and those others where we convince ourselves
and we believe in others. Hoping for an
expectation even if unplanned but just deep within the veins knowing how much we
think we need or want the outcome.
We even with all the danger signs we convince
ourselves to believe in all that is good for anything they are doing, saying or
we are doing for them.
Only
to later find out nothing was as it was painted in that picture in our minds.
We
find out just how selfish their ambitions sometimes really are. And we are left
to beat ourselves up and try to get back up for thinking with that big ole
heart for the 100th time.
Enough
there, Because I can say Trust me, I have had to pray allot over the years for
acting out of my heart and not paying attention to common sense. Letting go of souls you have become
connected is a bittersweet ride.
However,
God has blessed me with the fruit of the spirit to continue to love and for
this I am grateful for every soul that crosses my path.
I
will never understand the reasons why I am loved and taught by Him with so many
various lessons in this life.
Long
before I ever started walking with Jesus, I believed there was a God of the
universe. Even if I never knew what
that meant or who He was.
I used
to believe all the challenges I was allowed to grow through were just tests to
see if I still believed in something better.
Even
when I never really knew what better could mean.
I
will always believe everything happens for a reason.
I just stopped chasing what that is years ago.
Stopped trying to solve for better reasons or any reason that would make sense
why so many things happen to, around or with anyone I am connected that are
hurtful and crushing moments in life.
Stop
trying to figure out why or why not. I struggled
for a long time trying to fill gaps and find resolve.
Tried
so long to figure out what my purpose of even existence was or should be.
I
am not sure I ever really did. But I stopped chasing it long ago.
Finding
my worth in, with, and through Jesus Christ was the biggest life blessing I
could have ever had and will be where I will stay in my believes and actions
for any remaining days I have in the here and now.
That
is where the greatest unexplainable peace fills any gap or crevasse, I may have
ever fallen into along this journey.
It does
not make me perfect for the world or even times in my world.
It does not have to.
I
will leave that blind faith and all the peace of holding onto hope to the God
that holds the universe.
Crave,
desire, want absolutely. I will never
stop wanting that one and only; to be loved from the outside in as deeply as
the love I have been blessed from the inside out.
But
even if I am wrong in walking in obedience and holding onto that moral compass
daily and just believing there is always something better with Jesus.
The
only thing I have to lose is the shortened time of being in and of the world. For all the peace, all the health and well
being I have been given by not just doing what is so easily available.
Even
if I die on my own in this world that you
can be surrounded by billions and still very alone. I now with God I may fight feeling lonely and
wanting to just be held in someone’s hands, someone’s heart the depths of someone’s
soul. But I will never be alone.
The
peace and gift of life I have been given to have my own strong will and ability
to know the choices I make matter. As
everyone in this universe.
That
alone outweighs all the missing, broken human promises of any world. Or any let downs and losses thanks to just
how things and people are these days.
However,
with that being said out loud and this day ahead.
Thank
you, Lord, for another new day, Father please
lead and guide me and all I am connected through any storm and teach us how to
be selfless in shining forward your light and your will.
Heal
all who are feeling the pains of being stepped on by those who just do not get
you. Or even those who do that are on
the edge about to lose their way.
Guide
and comfort us Jesus through all the uncertainty ahead.
Thank
you, Lord, for all that You are teaching me.
How
to cling even tighter to you is something I never want to forget!
Guide
and protect and heal the ways that are of untruth and just lost.
Father
God please heal or remove all that is not of you with me, or all I am
connected.
Thank
you for this day, this week, and this journey.
May we all come to your table? May we all love as you loved us? It is a question only each of us can step
up and answer.
For
you will always be there waiting with arms wide open.

Psalms
23:1-4 (NIRV) A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd. He gives me everything I need.
2 He lets me lie down in fields of green grass. He leads me beside quiet waters.
3 He gives me new strength. He guides me in the right paths for
the honor of his name.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid. You are with me.
Your
shepherd’s rod and staff comfort me.
2 Corinthians
4:16-17 (NIRV)
16 We don’t give up. Our bodies are becoming weaker and
weaker. But our spirits are being renewed day by day.
17 Our troubles are small. They last only for a short
time. But they are earning for us a glory that will last forever. It is greater
than all our troubles.
Never stop looking up no matter how uncertain or unfair or even unforgivable the world and people become. Grasp the blessings every second you have them and bury them deep in your soul

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Oh
goodness, the thoughts that pop in this mind maze as soon as I open my
eyes. Smiling as I am blessed again another
day. Despite what aches, what feels
empty what needs fixing, what needs changing.
Don’t
get it twisted, comes to mind;
As we should know it is what it is, that which has been painted on
the canvas already.
That which is just as real.
But no matter how often we change the color,
the results remain the same until your own frame is resolved. Dig deep in
the silence where the truth speaks loudest.
Where
the sounds from the waiting and impatience clash loudly, sometimes with the madness
of unknown just taunting all that could be while putting all that was back in
the faces of what holds the key to change in the world’s reality.
That
which makes us so weary, and many times giving up or just doing crazy things
trying to make it period.
Our minds make
or break whatever may be next in a split second. We all get to choose even when we didn’t, we
must choose what next.
I want to know what love is. Oh, the songs and thoughts that fill this
vessel. https://youtu.be/7jC93d_xoEY @ “I Want To Know What Love Is” @Foreigner
Something
about having you God who we must find and know it is you that will raise us up eternally. While the beautiful souls that feed our
spirit along the way, filling all our wants, needs and even containing those desires
that tend to escape sometimes.
https://youtu.be/GoyE9A7zjko @ “Keeper of My Heart” @Kari Jobe
Something
about the songs they bring to our souls and life while trying to put the pieces
together in this vast canvas that we are to make and enjoy life.
Raise
me up to more than I can be by allowing me to find who we really are created to
be.
Together
or apart as long as we are with you Jesus!
For
the storms that come around us, through us, from us will always leave their
mark. Yet what we do with the aftermath
is what matters most.
Sometimes
Lord, even when we are walking with you all the way. You just do not move the waters. Sometimes it is that which is to wash through
us to see what abstract distractions await up ahead.
Can
we really trust ourselves, when we are given those gifts of other souls in our lives? Or even just the material things that fill us
up and we smile for all that collects dust.
That
which we think because others say so that which we allow others to make or
break us.
How
can it be any other way but you first?
For
the mercy and grace, you have given this soul alone. Despite all inadequacies or feelings of
insignificance due to the lack of what you created all of us for from the beginning.
Washing
us clean and allowing us to breathe every day we are allowed up. Walking in obedience is nothing compared to
what you have sacrificed for humanity Lord.
Why
would I ever want anything that does not have all that you are in it, Jesus?
Everything
happens for a reason; I have known this my entire life and at some point, I
stopped chasing around trying to figure out what those reasons were supposed to
be.
Just
to belong, just to be and feel that depth of love that only you can bring only
you that will bless. That forever Agape
washing through me. Love from the
outside in through out this world.
I
am not afraid of what will be for me, my loved one is or even those that are
walking in darkness and spreading the hate, and pain along the way.
I
know you God are in control. Always will
be, always have been with and for all who cling to you.
Peace
that indescribable faith that we are filled with no matter what. Even when the tears do not stop
flowing. Even when we are so broken, we
cannot get back up off the floor.
That
faith that love that once sweet soul king that fills us with awareness of
beyond all time and space leading us through eternity.
God
if you are for us who could ever be against us. If you have allowed me to crave and want
so badly I can almost taste what is to come.
Then show me what in my own worldly frame, I need to correct; I need to allow; I need to hold as tight as I can to; I need
to release back unto you Jesus.
Lead
me, lead us your children shining brightly along the way for Your will, Your
purpose God!
To
wake up next to, in forever love. Young,
old perfectly broken. Knowing the
choices are our own and we get to decide what we want to keep next to us or toss
out like yesterday’s newspaper.
Times
change us Father, People change. What
once was not matter what we do becomes not enough. Or we find never really was. When the truth hurts, we grow forward. When we never know the truth there is no hope
for anything to ever last.
You
Lord will never change, never leave us.
While everything in this here and now will always come and go, always fade,
always be replaced.
You
God will always be. https://youtu.be/8IFoutAn9w0 @ “You’ve Always Been” @Unspoken
Show
me what I need to change Father for you alone.
Not for anything or anyone temporary in this world.
Be
with all I am connected and especially those I love and have so much adoration
for.
Protect
our children, protect our elders. Heal
what they are going through right here right now.
May
our men rise up and lead in love, with you Jesus. Standing in your love and showing their
children right from wrong and knowing there will always be something greater
than what this world is.
Be
today’s modern-day revolution on the way or just disgustingly corrupt souls
that have made their way to positions that will destroy this world.
Lord
it starts with each one of us.
You
did not give us life to stand by and watch the darkness drown us in what we think will fix it. Your actions give us love and life to work
in obedience, faith, and unity to make a difference.
May
we all hear the Gods whispers and direction.
May we find that deep peace even when we are filled with brokenness,
doubt, or even hope. For He alone will
lead us to beautiful places and still waters that calm our souls.
May
we learn who we are in you and stand in your love Jesus no matter what that looks
like. As long as we know our fears have no chance in hell when we walk and
stand on your love Jesus! https://youtu.be/1T2tMt0Ky6g @ “Stand In Your Love” @Josh Baldwin

and they gather such branches and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If you remain in Me and My
words remain in you [that is, if we are vitally united and My message lives in your
heart], ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you.

Isaiah 41:10 (AMP) 10 ‘Do not fear [anything], for I
am with you;
Do not be afraid, for I am
your God. I will strengthen you, be
assured I will help you;
I will certainly take hold of
you with My righteous right hand [a hand of justice, of power, of victory, of
salvation].’
Psalms 62:5-6 (AMP)
5 For God alone my soul waits in
silence and quietly submits to Him, For my hope is from Him. 6 He only is my rock and my
salvation; My fortress and my defense, I will not be shaken or discouraged.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Thank
you, Lord, for allowing me up another day. Actually, wide awake before
any of the alarms start going off reminding me of so many, I wish I could just
go hug right now.
Thank
you for the moments sorting through the silence as I dive into your word.
Knowing
once I am up where all the noise and distractions take over, the spin will
start again. Competing for this or that, Agenda’s, wishful thoughts, or
even the needs of that which surrounds me.
Thank
you for the ability to tune out moments in time with you
Thank
you for allowing me to dream and imagine.
Thank
you for those who I am connected.
Thank
you for allowing me to know who I am in you Jesus.
As
time presses on and I finally start this day.
Knowing
I am blessed as the hot water washes over me, reminding me just how blessed I
am, no matter what storm, what pains.
No
matter what I feel I care for, no matter what I have or do not
have.
I
am still here and now. With a shelter I have been allowed to
acquire, hot steaming water for whatever the need, air in the heat and heat in
the cool.
As
the sweet scent of Japanese Cherry blossoms spreads over me and I pull this
hair up. I know it is the simple things that we take for
granted that really matter most. Even when I myself do not acknowledge
the thanks and remembering those who cannot even brush their teeth much less
have some minor extras.
Those
visions of something different, those desires of who we long to be side by side
or even those which just to see them once. Those things that new lotion,
clothing, item for the home. Or even the basic necessities we do not realize
how much we miss until there are none.
How
this vast world of realities are blessings from you God.
Be
it out there in the worlds view making a difference, planting seeds as we shine
bright or just that what sets my soul on fire or makes my heart smile.
God
what is it that I need to prepare for? Awakened
by the earth shaken and collapsing yesterday,
jumping up with mother as if she called my name, then those thoughts of love
teasing and knocking at my door. What
is it I need to know? What is it I need
to do? What is it I need to be?
You
Jesus, know better than anything or anyone of this world that I am never scripted,
maybe sometimes a routine I have fallen in. Or one I am running away from.
Absolutely
unsure what I am or am to do with what you allow me each day.
Not
dwelling, as each moment with you just allows me to breathe and acknowledge
what it could be like without.
Knowing
there has to be so much more than just surviving, just going through the
motions. Just proving to those who once my number is no longer
called, I will be easily replaced.
More
than knowing just how insignificant time or actions can really be. Or is
it a blessing when we find you Lord. When we finally understand who we
are in you, we know just how blessed we truly are.
I
am nothing in or to this world without you. Maybe a game piece, maybe
something to be tossed out once used up. Discarded before ever even
knowing how to crawl, must less all the paths I took trying to find my way when
I was walking through this journey in life.
Cautious,
shutdown, spending all my now time with you Lord in my dreams, or looking up at
the clouds.
Playing
it safe, or just too scared to really believe. Not that
strange as it may seem.
Gratefully
blessed that you allow Always Me!
Be
with all that is in the depths of this soul, this heart Jesus. Hear
even the unspoken cries, healing and directing all they can be.
Prayers
for connections yes, friends yes and absolutely my family!
More
than just the pieces that are rearranged any given day. God this world and
all I am connected need you in a might way.
Pieces
of me, be it broken or just moved around. Lord all I am belongs to
you. I surrendered long ago. You know the love I
carry even if I may never be allowed near where I long to go.
No
matter if I am onto of the mountain with you or broken laying naked on the
floor. Once I opened that door asking what you want from me, what am I in
existence for.
Finally
eyes wide open, just knowing it is you, and that power that raises me up
daily. Even when I am unable to move stuck in confusion, back
peddling trying to remain safe. Knowing if I cannot see it,
it does not exist without a trace.
Yet,
I do not need to understand even when pushing back. You God
would not allow anything to cross this heart or even be thoughts that
start. Unless you have something, you wish for me to do,
experience, or share me in part.
No
matter where the pieces of me end up, or even start. Lord may your love
be all that will be always.
Guide these words, these actions. Never let me go! With it
being you, they see.
Hear
all who are reaching out to you Father God, show them the same blessings and
grace you have shown me over these years.
Heal
those hurting physically, emotionally. Heal and reconcile all back to you
Father. Forgive me for all that which should have never
been.
Accept
the forgiveness that I have for all that which this life has been marked
with. Forgive me for making something out of things that should not be,
but more importantly forgive me where I cannot trust and believe.
Prayers
for my family for healing and may they have the courage and strength to know
and walk with you.
Thank you for loving me as I know I try block or run
from. That which I do not understand shutting down, long before anything
starts just so I do not risk feeling maybe wasting time, being hurt.
Knowing the scars run deep like that which flows through this earth.
Thank you, Jesus, as I am forever grateful and forever
yours. Mold me, Lead me, I am nothing without you. Show me
where and who I am meant to be.
Heal this land Father God, show us how Lord!

Isaiah 40:31 (AMP)
31 But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for,
and hope in Him]
Will gain new strength and renew
their power; They will lift up their wings
[and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become
weary, They will walk and not grow tired.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
As I look up as each morning you allow me up and
out the door. Seeing that beautiful
promise of each new day that awaits on the horizon.
Jesus Thank you!
I know I do not post pictures or rarely reflecting the pieces of time
that touch this soul even when I share them out on social media. However, if I could paint the picture of what
truly flows through when I look up and see God’s promise of love, hope and ever
after, the canvas would never be big
enough to capture His beauty and love.
Sometimes I feel like I am on the outside looking in knowing this world
is not my home.
But looking through the eyes of God, love has all
the darkness and unrest surrounded. All
that is confused and fighting, dangerous and lost. Stuck in the middle like a fallen insect
into the ants’ nest. The violence maybe
brutal with the misfortune of innocence sacrificed but, in the end, Love will
wash through and wash away all that is dark and broken. In the end only love matters where truth,
purity and all that God intended when he allowed us to be.
No matter what I feel, no matter who I desire, run
from, or someday run to. God will always
lead the way because now that I found
who my father really is. This little
girl will never stop dreaming, all the
while I am holding tight to his robe and finger walking through this life. Knowing when I am down even if I do not
make it; His arms will forever hold me tight allowing me to just breathe until
I see the other side. For sure I will
never hide in what use to control this life.
Even if that looks like I run and hide behind the
peace He alone has given me. Healing
has never been so great for those who call upon His name.
On this new day allowed, the love that flows
through the dreams with eyes wide open.
Growing forward chiseling in each time I start to slip. Imagination doing overtime but deep inside
faith in abundance for I know what I can never fully describe.
Thank you, Jesus, for giving me one more day of opportunities.
Broken, aging, blessed beyond anything this world has or will give.
May be my happy ever after is just allowing the
love you God have filled deep within this soul, to flow to whoever you allow me
to connect even when I cannot touch.
Lord only knows I gave up so long ago; yet you keep allowing me to get
back up. You keep allowing me to share
so much. Even when I do not have any
other explanation where it comes from.
I trust you Jesus; your ways are so much higher than
my own.
I will never be enough and if I let my journey
remind me, I will always be insignificant.
Always just wanting to be held, just needing you to meet me here
again. Meet me and never leave. Love so pure, no expectations but to just
believe.
More than anything physical could ever temporarily
be. From the deepest parts of this
soul the Lord holds all that is that will never go away.
For this forever blessed, never able to see any
other way. So, if I seem to have let
go, it is only because I am unable to make you in the world understand unless you
are real, unless you are with me in and with Christ. All I want is all you are but there can be
no other way. Forever I will have you
in my dreams, forever that someday.
He has saved me from the elements and from myself long
ago. Life is never fair, and it was
never promised so. On somedays it is
still hard to get up hard to swallow. But
deeply knowing through all my attempts and failing to matter. It was God alone who made it clear He alone
holds all the cards. What next and all
the beginnings that will start when something else comes to an end.
Six feet may not look so bad when the world is spinning so
out of control even when we are stopped.
Just know it is the one King who will give the peace that nothing else
can ever release.
I ask the question that I was presented with while reading
@Oswald Chambers “Hope A Holy Promise” “Do
I have enough Hope in God to not do anything even though it seems as if something
must be done?” Do we have enough Hope
in God?
Only each one of us to ourselves or to all who come in our
path can answer that question.
It is so hard to not just try and make it happen, quit, fix
it, whatever we do to get through. So
easy to just be like the world and fit in until we do not.
But we are all made for so much more. We are made for and to love no matter what
that looks like. More than that
physical bond with your forever to puppy hugs each morning they come out to
start the day. God is beyond anything
we can or will ever be able to fully comprehend.
If you do not know him personally or if you have given up
and walked away because some where along the line humanity had their own take
and rules on what being the church should be.
How we should treat others or what we should tolerate to be a good Christian.
I can assure you though we are the hands and feet of Jesus
when we truly let Him in. It is more
than rules or cult regulations. Love
above all else, respect starts within, obedience never doing works to mean
something. You can not work you way to
heaven, you cannot get there through anyone from here.
Yes, those who genuinely believe who call out in prayer are
His greatest intercessors. However,
God needs you to come to him. He is at
the door, let Him in right where you are.
Talk with Him every day once,
twice or 24hours always.
Challenge what others are teaching, dive into the bible
learning what each verse means and is saying.
Love yourself to not be lost forever.
None of us get it right but when we are called in truth it
makes it easy to just want to see the world with Gods’ end in sight.
Thank you Father for each day you allow me up, for each new
day you allow me to share Your promise and even that of me keeping it real no
matter how humiliated, embarrassed loved or even insignificant I feel.
Eyes wide open or wide shut. All that flows from these veins is pure,
even if half the time I falter not really knowing what to do.
Bless and heal this world Jesus through all you have called
upon. Show us how to stay safe while
making this world better than okay. Wash
over all who are lost, soften their hearts, bring them to their knees before
the throne. Heal what has made them who
they are. All that are on self-destruct
mode and the world is at risk of harm.
Man made viruses that have crippled this world, losses and
pain will never be as much as what you have done and went through so we could know
who you are.
Lord may we shine on for and with you. Show us the way. Please bless all my family, all my friends,
all my connections. In truth with and
for you.

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Still
Learning! No matter what we must remain
teachable each day we are given movement.
Each day I am allowed up I am still learning something new of the world,
souls in it and even myself.
As I
start each day knowing if I do not start with God first, my day is just rushed,
or falling behind depending on how I jumped up to take off running. Either way the day is in a day of angst
robbing that peace. When things occur,
work, life and losing balance. It is
like being trapped with a perfect storm deep inside.
My thoughts out loud of why I talk about God daily, because I am blessed, not because I am forcing anything, or that I am perfect. The thought alone makes me laugh.
I talk about Jesus
because He with God’s perfect plan is what fills me with Peace and that which fills me and us up with Mercy and Grace.
That which we do not give ourselves or those that come and go through out our lives.

That which we do not give ourselves or those that come and go through out our lives.
For me in most cases, being a result-oriented
person, it is one extreme to another.
Really great and productive results, or one more negative result to add
up to the mountain already blocking my view.
This morning To Die For that Sam Smith tune, just kept coming back to this mind and I know this song touches me deeply knowing how all my life I have just had that want to belong, and to know now what I didn’t know back then.
The things we do wanting
to just be loved, either chasing and giving who we are away or burying
ourselves in the business of our careers or talents and not being who we really
are deep inside.
Today tough thinking how God himself gave his only son to die for us; and wondering what that feels like with a world of billions over and over, where humanity continually rejects His Love.
Humanity allows those mountains filling
the path with land minds and exploding volcanoes with all the lies, all of what
hurts, all of what can be dark.
Not everyone gets to pick the battles they find themselves in the middle of.
Some of us slowly create our own.
Sometimes we
do not know the person we have known all our lives. Or even that one that we said we will spend
the rest of our lives with.
Sometimes they turn out to be more than we
could have ever imagined; other times we find we are trapped right in Satan’s
den.
Life happens I know I rattle about playing in Satan’s sandbox and how we will end up very dirty and broken.
Truth is in many cases, we are so dissolution and wandering freely we never even pay attention we are playing in it.
Never do we need to purpose to end up there willingly walking into the playground. Satan is good with the facade's and lies of the world.
But even though that is a true statement it is too deep for me to go there right now.
My thoughts around the facts we are all not born in
this world in that comfort and loving family unit.
Sometimes we are born right in the middle of
war zones. Wars were hate and violence
are the only means of survival.
Where
all anyone knows from decades of legacy is that trust is not an
option, sleep breeds new pains and family is whoever has your back.
No matter where we come from, no matter
where we have been or even what we have done.
The opportunity is up to you to believe in the one who
created all of us and know that we all get to choose. We all get to choose what we will do with
any new days we are given.
We all get to work through growing forward
in life and ask God to fill us with healing, with peace with love.
I know I was never around when he spoke this universe into life.
But I do not
think he would have ever sat there singing I just want to die for someone so I
can have a universe that is so self-righteous and hateful I can watch my son
Jesus be crucified over and over being they did not accept it the first round.
Yes, just those random thoughts I am
allowed to release out of a mind maze
that is surely full of twists and turns and lots of experiences.
Thankfully even if some do not agree; I
have not totally went crazy yet although there are days I just want to go.
So I say this, I have always believed in
God, but it was never until I took the steps to know who Jesus really was and
what that meant that I found myself stop asking what my purpose in life is.
Do I still question or speak about my
insignificance? I am sure I will the
rest of my life when I am overwhelmed by my own unanswered questions or
unfulfilled desires.
It is heart matter to choose to walk the walk or
dedicate who and what you can to help others and still see great loss.
But I know God is in control and I
absolutely know where I am going in the end.
I can see that very clearly of what matters and what does not for my
life.
Struggle with boundaries that makes me
laugh out loud. Although I am very disciplined,
I always get too close to the fire.
I cannot ever say I do not know where my
kids get it; after all I am the one that says you will never know until you
try. And if it is going to give you
quality of life you must try at least once.
Which makes me realize not everyone has the same idea of what is quality.
Different topic for different day.
I can get sidetracked really quick on that. But like Bob Marley sings. And that soulful reggae music takes you to places that just help you relax and find those happy places.
Don’t Worry! Every little thing will always be alright
especially walking with the one that took on more pain, sorrow, torment, and brokenness
than we could ever experience.
Life is what it is until it is not! If the Good Lord breathes air in your lungs one more day.
Make it count, get out and shine
bright planting the positive seeds even if in the sand. The vultures and thieves of this here and now
world cannot get to all of them. At some
point the sun you shine will help someone else grow.
I smile because I know to whom in the end
I belong. Besides, I love making people
wonder. Especially anyone who thinks
they have me all figured out. I used to
say if you took everything I have ever written in my life, took my resume for
all that I have crammed in this little head.
You would get super lost.
Life is what it is! We get to choose. We choose to hold on and dream or let it all
go and find something different. In
any case whatever is happening or not happening is because of the choices you
have made or need to make. We need to embrace the life we are given. Always try and succeed where you can doing your best in whatever you are given to work with!
So, on this Monday readying for a long workday
starting at the cross and coming back out with some Marley. Let’s feel alright. Shake it off. Whatever is in complete, whatever is heavy, whatever you just have to wait. Give it to God and shake everything else off.
No matter what we have going on or what we
are going through. Praise the one who
gives you life, who gave you love, who allows us to choose even if we are
unable to see the expectations, we have deep inside that agenda box.
Truth everyone knows is we do not have to
have any of even a glimpse of what we have able to still get up and talk
about. Yes, things can get better, or worse!
Just be thankful and make every second
count for what you have right here right now.

unselfishness, mercy, tolerance, and patience] be known to all people. The Lord
is near. 6 Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in
everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with
thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God
============================================
Well Thanks @TMac. Sparking some thought around your afternoon #SpeakLife “Trust that an ending is followed by a
beginning” Yes, the cycle of all things to start must
always have an ending. Sometimes things
end because of all things starting.
Life balance process. Just super
blessed God closed some doors opened more, but more importantly opened the
narrow gate with Him and allows me to walk with him.
Whatever comes or goes
since coming up out of the water and keeping Him close daily. Does not necessarily hurt when it does work
out as bad as it once did when all I had was what the world offered.
Thinking may people
will take and twist things to make what their feeling not hurt as much. Sometimes we justify what others say to fit
our needs.
Bottom line is back to
choices all equate to beginnings and endings.
No matter what is, or what is not.
Feeling good at the end of the day helps you sleep. But did you really make the choice for
yourself?

Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Well Father here I am up again, mind you before I wanted to; but allowing pets in the house someone needs to step up and care for them when they are ready to get up and out. Feeling like I need to be stretched every way possible, as this fifty something body hardly working anything these days took on that twenty something year old mind working on painting this house.
It is therapy for sure, just unlike the last one I did what ten or eleven years ago. Absolutely lets me know I am still alive.
There is something about the therapy in painting even if the thought of doing a three-bedroom, two car garage home myself these days is absolutely a crazy project to remember once done.
No, I have decided I will need help once I get to the point to all those peaks. But I can do as far as I can reach. Be it takes a month a year however long Father.
One brush stroke at a time wipes away all that is insignificant, all that should have never been, all that the burning deep within craves needs to be put away until the day I can openly get out here and serve you again Jesus.
Nothing else matters. Though well meaning, good intention and fully alive. With absolutely a pure heart and clean hands. Today, tomorrow any realities thereafter.
Thank you for this day, and all that is beautiful.
Seeking to meet you in timelessness, needed you then in great adoration need you now, need you forever! This is my story given moments in this world where one second, we are at the top of the world forgetting what and who is important and the next digging out of what we do not understand or could never find.
You give many chances in and through you Father God for reconciliation of all that is beautiful. All that once it is gone it is done.
You allow nothing without reason. Even if we get confused with the freedoms and choices allowed. Making a mess becoming lost in what you own and want found.
Be it me or any of those beautiful souls in this vast universe. We are all one! Your beautiful creations with promise, visions, melodies, and scripts yet to be written or found.
As I am listening and tapping out the overwhelming feeling of gratitude remember the times, I have been able to stand on that stage with my brothers and sisters in Christ and praise you. The moments I have been able to sing beautiful name with my beautiful sisters Lindsey and Megan in harmony and just all you are God washing through me.
Times may have changed who and where I worship with, but I know just as we choose to be, do, or allow to consume us. No matter where I am Father God let it be it you that always consumes and leads me.
Happy Father’s day God! Thank you for never giving up on me wandering in this jungle with all the predators and broken hearts. In a world where you must stand for something, where you must either lead or follow because in the middle you are trapped and caught up in this vast game of chess.
Only difference when you are a pawn the pains are far more scaring than just being knocked off the board.
Your name alone Jesus with so much power, grandeur and promise allows us life, to love, laugh and live. Never giving up on us even when we take that left when it should have been right.
Father God, reconcile all to you first and then exactly where you want them, want us to be. I believe in you more than I can even believe in myself Father. The one who loves this orphan unconditionally. No matter what crazy worldly dreams and thoughts spawn through the veins that give me life.
No brokenness from what I can do or others I care for will do. Thank you for allowing me to worship you no matter where I am. I pray for that day when I can get back up there and harmonize with my sisters and brothers with and for you. Leading me and others to the cross. Washing through us, softening hearts, healing all that is broken.
Lord all that I am is yours. Heal my family from all the ailments and elements that are beating down the door.
All my connections their hearts open wide to you filling them up with your light to shine on for so many they touch. May those that once were filling the huge stadiums and buildings remember it is because of you they exist at all.
Change the hearts of those that can never have enough, get enough or even those that fight to understand why they will never be enough.
Protect and guard us and let nothing we do be in vain, but reflect love, hope, mercy, and grace
May all I am connected come to know your precious love Jesus of what it feels like to be loved from the inside out.
Lord, forgive me for how I lately want so much; thank you for allowing me to not just go react to what I have craved my entire life. Just to belong! You see, you hear, you know all that is in my heart, all that is in all the hearts and souls of every living being here and now.
Are we all just wandering in the desert again or still I am not sure Father God. But this nation is so lost, I am so lost.
I will never be able to do this on my own. Many things this once skinny little white girl could take on and do. So many things off the bucket list to just reflect in this invisible check list.
Nothing compares Father to the abundant blessing that I will ever be able to explain. But the peace and comfort. Even when I see through, when I pick up, when I am face down crying out.
Thank you for loving me; and teaching me to love myself for who I am. May the world know such peace?

Best thing about being real. Pure heart, clean hands and raw truth. Love, Hate it’s your choice. Me I choose to share pieces of me over time from this soul. No matter what the pain or burning desires are churning from the depths inside.
Touch my heart, touch my soul, hold me tight never letting go. All in Gods been then, now and forever will be. Take it all but know without Him. You will never be set free. Without Him you will never really have me.
