 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Amazing how in my own life experience where I learn even though I have known someone all my life I never really knew them at all.    We put so much stock into how our life will be the best of everything by pouring our expectations into our human partners, friends, family, and connections. 

Yet more and more we reveal just how we never really know what and who someone is.

Saying what they mean or meaning what they say is left to a grand canyon of what is not being revealed.

Until one day you live through that one that you never thought would ever let you down leaves you broken and never to be the same.

 

You, Jesus, never break your promises.  Yet we never fully give you everything that we are first and always.

How beautiful for those who realize your timing is perfect.    Though we suffer in our wants and desires and misunderstood outcomes. 

Be it that husband that you have known all your life yet one day he is just gone leaving you in a broken mess to clean up and to find the setup living a double life setting up with his next.     Or what about that woman who married the man of her dreams and wanted that family and a family and children with him.   Yet, almost 50 years of marriage just kept beating herself up thinking it was her.   Then one day he revealed he did not want any children but never let her know he had surgery and the only reason she knows now because the love of his life almost died, and he could not live with what he kept from her any longer.

Lord, you steady me for sure.

Both scenarios are real, one of my own with the many I could tell.  The other just another beautiful soul who is learning who God really is and how He has been working in her life even though she realizes how much anger and disgrace for her own being she lived with far too long.

The stories in life do not necessarily have to be a man letting a woman down.  We know far to often it is an equal opportunity when it comes to what people do to each other or withhold just to get what they want.

Or taking the easy way out and never talking about what drives their need to keep moving.

Life is full of twists, turns and brightly colored story lines painted every day we are allowed back up.

One of the most heart wrenching things for me that crushes me every time is watching two people who have fought forward together all their lives and one of them leaves this planet and the other is left behind crushed.

The day I watch my brother say goodbye to my sister-in-law after 30 years of marriage and his six-foot two frame crumble.     Or how angry he was at a God he never really took time to meet through his son Jesus.     No fault of his own; by far growing up in Catholicism doesn’t always lead you to know who Jesus really is.

Knowing how loved we really are is not something everyone gets to understand.

 

I am not really sure when I finally grabbed onto that life raft of rescue through Jesus.   Well yes, I am sort of.    I have always believed in a God.    But it was when my kids were starting their lives that I really needed to breathe again.    And if it meant giving all I am to the one who died for me I was going to do it.      Even if what I do does not qualify for what they  think, say, or do.

 

We all have to choose and own the choices we make no matter what the results.    And that ripple effect of our choices wash over us for a lifetime.    Be it the death and sacrifice for our first responders giving all they are to protect, care and rescue any of us.    Or day to day in all the things that spin us or those we never talk about until one day 50 years later the truth finally comes out.

You Jesus have never been hidden yet we hide you.      You have never been silent, yet we choose to follow the static or disruptions of what we create and not what your peace and mercy bring.

It does not stop the pain from ripping or rippling through any one of us on any given day.  But Jesus you have taken on so much more than we ever will and never for a moment stopped wanting better for humanity.  

May we see with your eyes and learn to understand just who you are through your heart, mercy, and grace.   May we learn to be kind to ourselves, and all those we connect.  May we learn kindness matters but does not mean we become a sacrifice.

You have already made the ultimate sacrifice Jesus.  May we live for you and grow forward with you and all you lived, suffered, died, and came back for.

 

We can either lean in or lean back either way our choices matter to how we will handle any circumstance of any day given.    May I always be able to give thanks just to know the life I have been given and am still called to fight forward each day you allow me up.

 

Fighting can be just learning to breathe, just learning to let go, just learning to hold on, just all things that come our way and what or how we will do whatever is next.   Or even how we handle the outcomes when they do not transpire into what we have planned and the impacts ripple.    God be with us always, and may we always acknowledge He is through relationship with Christ Jesus.

Jesus no matter if we are in our own darkness or following your hope, purpose, and life into places that we may never return.   May you always be the keeper of our souls for all those who believe and sacrifice all things on behalf of humanity and your love.

The wars have always raged for generations before and generations to come.   Give comfort and life to those left behind for all those lost in the crossfire or pure evil.     Your will be done Father God.    For every child that is left for the demons and all innocence given life to fight without direction or hope.

We are not defined by this world!    What we choose matters and all the hate, all the hurt all that we take from the future matters more than that two second of power trips we ride or the truly lost bitter darkness that will torment us eternally.    Lord soften the hearts of the haters, light up the darkness and guide all our leaders to unity and prosperous opportunity in life, mercy, and grace that you give just by allowing life each new day.

 

My captain who drives the wheel of my soul through all my own rivers and rapids spinning within.   Forever missed, forever desire in truth pure abundant love in the depths of freedom and raging power flowing through the veins pumped forward by the beats of a heart that you control.      Resurrect all who even silently cry and think of you Jesus.    May your angel armies come alive and be the difference we all wish to see.

 

All that I am, all that I can be all that is your will.   Desperately in the corner of life abundance full of victories.   Mine, theirs, yours Jesus through that what makes our hearts smiles, or leaves us needing places to just regroup and hide.   May you never leave me or any I am connected.   No matter how twisted or derailed the ride.  We are and forever will be your creation and most precious prize.

Thank you for loving me enough to giving me each new day with so much to purpose and try.

(I Am Already Enough) Fearless Soul

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

What does it mean to you when you hear you are walking free in harmony with others?

Nothing binding you up, no one on your mind that crushes your spirit; all the while you never stop stepping out and paying even the slightest act of kindness for those who just need the comfort of a smile in today’s world.

Wait, you don’t care about anyone or anything else but the space you are in?

I know right; that boundary of minding your own business walking that fine line of always being ready and helping what the world sees the least of the these; or running for whatever, you can get yourself. 

So many I am sure that lost their lives daily who are shut in, shut off from the world physically, mentally,  or maybe trapped in the depths of their own pains all the while surrounded by people that are supposed to love them.   Yet, when it comes down to it they do not find out until later the secret life they led because they never really knew them at all.

Walking free, are you?

I am! 

 Free to choose, to serve and believe in a mighty God who with the wave of his mighty hands can change everything.

Free to choose, knowing even if it is wrong, He will always carry me when I cannot get back up.

Strength of my life the hope, passion, and life I am given through Jesus Christ.    Even when it hurts, even when it is so far fetched yet we try to make it come to life believing in what can never show up; because it is all just that façade in the imaginary dreams that sometimes break through and take you to the edge to forever be lost chasing demons or passions in the end do they not take you to the same end result?      When you allow the walk or running into the abyss of what never shows up ending up lost.

 

Darkness with Christ light, whatever will be, will be.    If that which you dream with and through him comes to be.  You have been blessed even more beyond measurable gratitude or any reciprocations that the world can give.   As all he wants is your time, your dedication to truth, your heart so he can save and live within the depths of your soul.

Who are you when no one is looking?   Me still that hot mess broken pieces put together in the good days and all over the place in the in-between.

 

Will we ever really taste and experience all life has to offer or do go straight to the father face down and hold on to heaven right on earth.  Experiencing love, life, through all the simplicity and beauty in everything no matter how glittery gold or jagged colorful edges.

There is not a day I do not feel the days reality how life is a gift.  As so many next to us are just dropping, fighting for life, fighting just to be.   You are enough; I am more than enough.   

Just because I do not take it to different levels or jump on that wagon to be like anyone that I connect, does not mean I am not alive and living.   It does not mean my desires, my heart, my wants and all the choices good bad or indifferent made along the way are any less or more than those who chase all that is in the world.

 

Believing in yourself starts with knowing who you are.  Never doubt dreams do not come true with hard work and dedication.   But always know that only you and the God that allows the air you breathe can make that happen with help along the way by motivation, pushing, and prodding or even the condemnation that so many will put in your path.

You can love anyone you wish but that will never mean you will be loved back.   Only you can love you for you but to really do so; you must know who you were created to be.

 

As I searched for some audio books to listen to in my travels, I find myself torn headed for what makes me laugh, or the depths of romance and the fine borderlines of what is really is love and romance and what is just lust and those moments that we should never publicly be talking about.

Needless today I downloaded a variety which always opens pandora’s box of taking me to the places I cannot go, in far away countries living the lives vicariously through those who have been there or the imagination that sometimes seems like my own.

 

Freedom to choose what you do with God given blessings, gifts, talents you have received.

Where does your freedom really set your free?  What does your freedom song look and sound like?

I can never be free anymore without the love, and purity of all that allows me back  up each new day my eyes open.   I will never be enough to repay the  blessings that I am given and even those that slipped through these little hands because they were too busy playing that spiritual tug of war with God himself.     Thinking we can do it on our own gets us into more than trouble.   However, knowing who ultimately allows you life to guide you through, in, around and over all things in this journey for the days unnumbered we take.

 

Well though there will always be that one missing.   The pit that I chased demons for in my days of youth or tried to mask because I did not understand the hurt or pains that came with where I was at that time.    Finally filled with hope and gratitude.    Standing on the edge no longer means there is only one way down.     Because now I can fly and never have to force, numb, or try to make happen what Jesus took so freely for me any day I believe in him for longer than a crisis or need.   He alone holds all my victories.    As without him I am just another soul wandering through the desert occasionally drinking the poison and living in those imaginary oases that suddenly crash back to realities of this world and just where my speck of life is and really means to anyone as it does to the creator himself.

 

Nobody really knows who you are or what you’re going through.   Many will do their best to convince you they do even managing portions or all of the life you have been given.   Just know you get to choose.     Choose wisely!   There are no do overs in this physical life and depending on what you choose will determine if you are living in and with peace and hope or within the depths of hell over and over throughout whatever eternity is.

God only knows!!!

I am okay with him being my everything first.   

 

Be it a story, be it a movie, be it a song.  Be it my life, or yours; may the Good Lord and all that he is promised for eternal beauty, peace, abundance in mercy, grace and true love fill your days guiding your spirit and opening the doors to all you can be as you and not anything you are known for doing.

I hate lies—can’t stand them!—
    but I love what you have revealed.
Seven times each day I stop and shout praises
    for the way you keep everything running right.
For those who love what you reveal, everything fits—
    no stumbling around in the dark for them.
I wait expectantly for your salvation;
    God, I do what you tell me.
My soul guards and keeps all your instructions—
    oh, how much I love them!
I follow your directions, abide by your counsel;

 Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Amazing how one word spoken can be translated and the truth stretched or grown into the various visuals of one’s minds eye.    One thing is absolute is no matter how the verses are written no matter what translations all lead back to all that is good in you Jesus so why would we not run to you? 

 The only one that can take you away is our own choices and even then, you wait patiently for your prodigals to find their way back to you.

Thank you for your faithful believers who sing praise shining hope in your promises and opening the door to find ourselves living the truth in harmony through all the rattle of the everyday storms.

 

Tired Lord today, just a bit… dreams about day to day and just working doing things that normally would not be with not nearly enough activity to keep things fresh and moving.

Never do I just want to go through the motions, yet choices are, choices need to be.  The impacts are more than just me.   So, we do our best with each day allowed up.   No matter what always clinging to your promises.

You are greater than all those wrong turns, wrong choices, incomplete, almost, or never really meant to be.     Greater than anything I have to prove or buy my way to.   You take us just as we are.   Loving us and wanting us to come as we are.   Greater than any regrets, remembering as my eyes seek you in the skies, even though I know you are deep inside this soul.   Just to be held, perhaps the world and all that is really is what is meant to be held.   I believe there is so much more, and I trust in you more than I know how to even trust myself. 

Restore us Lord; all I am connected.   Reflect your will and the way we should go.   Lord hold me together in all of this. 

Feeding my spirit, growing yet blowing in the wind.  As I turn a page looking back, I only see all you have been, done and are for and with me.   See me through Jesus…   Show me the how and what.   The why stopped mattering long ago.     To love another human in balance, in truth, in you.   Hear this heart, guide these feet, protect this vision allowing only the voices of truth to feed this mind, body, and spirit.   Giving strength when I just cannot anymore.   Show me how.

 

You owe nothing, you gave everything.  Thank you then, thank you now and thank you for any tomorrows.

 

We do but should finally wake up and realize we really should be leading by example and stop the madness thinking secrets in the dark are not noticed.  We really should be living in a way that when our kids pick up the habits or call us out, we are not reacting in defense because we have to lie our way out of it.   Right is right, wrong is wrong.  No matter how we paint the picture or sneak around in the dark.  Nothing changes the truth.

Far from perfect and a horrible liar I cannot even lie for the good of me.   So, if there is something I do not want others to know.  I just do not put myself in those situations.   I value the respect and character of who I am being allowed to grow up and be. 

If I have done something and its none of your business, its just that.  Worry about your own misgivings, choices, or lack of.

When you are living off of people you really need to respect the hand that feeds you.    Sneaking those up in the night or sneaking away when you have a role and responsibility only takes away the value of you and any possible future opportunities.

 

Your choices are your own, however do not think anyone owes you a thing.  No matter if you were the POPE, POTUS, or anyone else this world thinks is important.      I personal value moral respect and responsibility.     Not perfection or flattery or any other b.s. the world sells you for five minutes of robbing you of your lifetime.

 Wake up find your true self.

Wake up fight forward.

Wake up and fight for what you want.

Wake up work for it.

Wake up and acknowledge your blessings that you are alive and many never got this chance.

Just thinking out loud how so often we throw all we are away and stay stuck in the failures we could have overcome just by taking one step after the other to work, find and be through the eyes of Jesus.   Perfectly placed and made right where we matter most.

¹ I love the Lord, for he heard my voice;   he heard my cry for mercy.
² Because he turned his ear to me, I will call on him as long as I live.

 

Psalm 116:1-2 (KJV)  King James Version

^1-6 I love God because he listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy.
He listened so intently as I laid out my case before him.
Death stared me in the face, hell was hard on my heels.
Up against it, I didn’t know which way to turn;  then I called out to God for help:
“Please, God!” I cried out.       “Save my life!”
God is gracious—it is he who makes things right, our most compassionate God.
God takes the side of the helpless; when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me.

  Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (Thinking out loud)

Not even close if you are predicting what I will be writing about based on music today…  you see if I could turn back time; if I had the power I would change and wash away all the pain and all the sorrow our world and so many innocent beautiful souls are walking through right now.    Bad enough we are watching innocence left to the slaughterhouse of evil across the miles.   But so close to home where so many have lost so much to unsuspecting mother nature.

 

So easy to keep telling everyone get it right with their souls and what really matters because truly everything including us will and can be gone in a split second.    Here we watch across the news where floods ravaged and took so much beauty leaving death and destruction along the way.

If I could turn back time, yes, I would do things differently knowing what I know now to get that ultimate do-over hoping, praying, and pushing so many to just be better humans in the name of Jesus.

It’s not to late if we are here and now.  But truly it does not wash away the times of sorrow we are all walking through in the here and now.    Death, destruction, chaos, hate and all the crazy coming out everywhere we look. 

My heart is broken for all those lost, all those who just cannot catch a break, those going through it and do not have the hope and peace of Jesus Christ deep inside to help them get back up and shine on.

The past will forever haunt me, yet it does not control me.   The one and only carries me through and has allowed me to grow in and with him.  During all the wars, storms, almost, or absolutes Jesus is the one and only that can reflect the beauty in all the ashes.      No matter how bad it hurts somedays when I realize I have been given another day.    When so many are fighting around me to just survive.

Never being one to just ignore it and dive into just me sometimes the weight of wonder and unanswered why’s are heavier than I wish they would be.    But I know my God and truly everyone’s God who calls upon the name of Jesus is unstoppable and far more aware of anything and everything that I could, or we could ever make sense of or through any of the chaos that is swallowing up this world we were given to make life in.

Fires, wars, self-destruction, floods, storms, broken lives, broken relationships, broken pieces of me, broken pieces of you scattered while all the knowing he puts those who believe in His promises back together more beautiful than ever before.

I wish I could have met Jesus in his time, but he has given all of us our time here and now.  But to see and watch the strength, courage, through all the pains and sorrows he witnessed and walked through walking up to calvary we will never compare to what His sacrifice gives.   Never be worthy enough, never understand, never fully get it or even acknowledge truth through all the power in the pain he took to allow us life.

Every single soul is going through something they can’t talk about, they cannot stop crying about or they are angry, hurt and taking it out on everyone around them about.

Before you speak, before you react. Pray God gives you the strength, mercy, and grace to step out and step up helping where you can.  Even if that means just sitting and listening.  

    All those things you are letting to go to waste cluttering up, can be used by those who have lost everything.  The power of prayer from the depths of your soul that have your heart strings in knots, mean more than life to someone.     

Jesus hears our war cries; be loud or silent.     Cry out for you, cry out for me, cry out for the future of this world.     Things will never be the same.   The new normal is changing every day.

Join me in lifting our nation, our brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and all the children of any future to hopefully a brighter and a better days and pains across the globe filled with hope and promise and people actually trying to contribute to make it so.  I reposted a social media post yesterday that just stuck with me.  

Author unknown but posted by the spiritual mind.   “Dying doesn’t scare me.  What scares me is living in a world run by evil people, who control the destiny of our children.”

How true and sad this is.  Where so much corruption and harm placed at the hands of those who have some sort of power is in such utter chaos and no one knows what they want to be any more they just want to agree with everything, so they don’t feel left out of anything.

 

Everyone gets a prize, no one declares right or wrong.  Just do it takes on a new meaning.  And lets just keep enabling our children so much they are disabled.      Disable to think for themselves, to handle life for themselves or allow them too much to where they burn in the luxury furnace of all that is given to them.

I am guilty.   My kids know I would do anything to help them get back up.    Yet when I think about it no one has ever been that or there for me in such a way I did not purpose to fight forward and try not only to make a better future for me, but anyone I was blessed to ride the train of life with.

 

I have never been a runner.  Early on I have had to fight my way just to survive.    And I can joke and laugh about how in my younger days I would challenge bullies when they would try to press or push on me or those near me.    Even sometimes today I forget I am not 20 anymore and say well you better make sure you take me out because if I get back up and you have harmed any of the heartstrings that control this heart.     You will live to regret it.

 

Chuckling when I think about it.  Because I will not need to do a thing.    My God even in the pain, and not understood purpose of all things I have walked through in this journey.   Has always been faithful for and to me.    I am His!   Nothing can change that.   He will always serve up justice to those indiscretions.   Yours, Mine!...

 

You are his as well; you just have to acknowledge it and dive in and really purpose to understand each day what it means to pick up that moral compass and have Jesus lead you.

Its not easy, by far; especially in the world as we know it.   But just keep fighting forward.  Just keep getting back up each day given.   Just keep seeking His will to fill you up and be that helping hand in works and deeds, in listening, in speaking, in everything or anything he puts upon your spirit.

The worlds needs good to shine brighter than every before.   The time of sorrows is here hold on tightly and give thanks and all you are to not letting the world consume all you can be.

 

Zephaniah 3:18 (MSG)  The Message Version

“The accumulated sorrows of your exile will dissipate.
I, your God, will get rid of them for you.
    You’ve carried those burdens long enough.
At the same time, I’ll get rid of all those who’ve made your life miserable.
I’ll heal the maimed; I’ll bring home the homeless.
In the very countries where they were hated they will be venerated.

On Judgment Day   I’ll bring you back home—a great family gathering!
You’ll be famous and honored all over the world.
You’ll see it with your own eyes—all those painful partings turned into reunions!”
        God’s Promise.

What the Bible Says About The Beginning of Sorrows - Bible Resources  

Now I cannot read the future and I cannot say if what those that right are anything more than just sharing pieces, thoughts, opinions like me.  But I can say knowing all throughout the Bible it has been made clear and many things have come to pass and many more are our current day events around the globe.

So why not ready your stance here and now.  Why not put on the Armor of God starting with that relationship between you and Jesus.  Right where you are.     Openly, privately it is up to you.   But dear soul don’t risk the eternal placement of what you will relive over and over again by holding on to a world full of temporal reckless abandonment.      Dive in, learn about the beginning and ending of times.   Learn who you were created to be and love all that is good, all that is kind, and all that Jesus was, is and forever will be.

Yeah, I am sure there are some rolling in their graves to know how in love with someone I have never seen.   And to call upon the name of Jesus and know even though I cannot touch a physical being to make it truth.    I somehow understand that even the wind that I cannot hold in my hands that fills my lungs is a blessing from what I cannot fully justify or explain.

Anyway…  Sorrow in today’s world is real.    Grasp on to all that is good, all that is bright to shine hope, life, love, and laughter growing forward wherever you can.

You, me none of us are exempt.     Flesh, Spirit good, bad, or indifferent.   We all will need to adjust every moment we are given to whatever the new normal’s are transpiring to be.    I know I cannot do this on my own.  That is why I gave all that I am, all I have all that I will be to the one who died for me so I can live.    I pray if you have done so yet…You start now.   I pray if you/if I have, you hold tight to whatever you have on Jesus and never let go.  No matter what it takes and keep getting back up with and for him.

 

Heavenly Father, I fall short every second of every day I am given.   Swirling and whirling up and running thinking its my place when you are in control of all things.    Lead me and guide me with or alone.  All that you want in, for or through this life.    Hear this heart and the so many needs, wants, cries, and just misunderstood that I am connected.     Consume all that we are in your beauty, in your ways, in your light.   But if you do not.   Give us the courage to keep fighting forward for and with humanity.   Heal us Jesus.  Guide us, teach us, and show us how to love like you love us.
