“Aren't five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one sparrow is forgotten by God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. So do not be afraid; you are worth much more than many sparrows!

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

 

We may be drown out by the static and noise of this world but don’t be worried cause truly this world Ain’t where we belong, and God is never finished with us until we finally check out and even then if we heard his call before our leaving we are eternally in His grace and mercy but if we did not at that point there will be no more hope or peace because although the exit door is wide and we go right or left.  Once we are locked in to live in hell for eternity not even Jesus can come pull us back out.   

 

Harsh is beyond explanation and we have had however many seconds, moments, hours, years, or decades to choose love, to be, to share, to want, to shine.

If we, instead no matter what the circumstances choose hate and alienation unfortunately we truly do reap what we have planted and sown!

 

Why do we wait anyway to be kind, to be a light, to believe in all that is good even without redemption we still know good or bad.  Light or darkness?

 

Why must we remain caught in the riptide of the worlds spin?

 

I can’t lie for sure somedays are far better for me to get up to motivate than others.  And some I just keep staying beyond busy to push through.    Helping others keeps me alive with purpose.  Lord knows it is not about me anyway or at least it should not be.  But on somedays yeah it is!

 

What do we want to be when we grow up?  😊 to know my family, friends and connections found their blessings and gratefully in abundant gratitude paid it forward in love, for love, with love.

 

Letting love lead us and to do that only Jesus knows.  And to truly know God you must know Jesus.   Yeah, I get it many with their judgmental condescending response.  Or even those who are starting to setup the plan to prove something against anyone who calls upon the name of Jesus.   Well, I pray you find the truth and the goodness even in the empty tomb we build around ourselves in this thing called life.

 

Everything happens for a reason

Everything is temporary in this world

 

We live, we love even if we are not loved back, we chase the demons thinking they will fill the voids, or we put all our happiness to what brings us life in people, places and things.   And that one day when they are gone, we are left with that bitter taste that we no longer can swallow and take it out on anyone who tries to be without expectation around us.

 

No doubt we need to learn boundaries early in life and stick to them in all things.

Food

Drink

Play time

Relationship time

 

Yet, nowhere has it ever been wrong to want the peace and harmony and all the beauty of what that looks like 24/4-365

 

None of us know what tomorrow will be, if at all.

So many of us chemically imbalanced and no longer who God created us to be.  Others just so angry at life and all that they were given without anything or anyone to help get them through while keeping the heart soften yet protected

 

While others think entitlement is something they deserve and even take when they cannot have it given

 

All the while the hamster wheel spins those with everything burning up because they are made nothing but the material things that consume them while all they want is to just be held beyond the ages of faith.

 

This mind maze fighting back the darkness where like a void for a brief moment in time I go through the motions of still trying yet failing.  All the while know true failure really is not trying at all.   All the while trying to love as many and as long as I am given them or myself the gift of life.

 

The history proves there is nothing you can do to change fate with the exception of choosing day to day as we get up to be the light or run deep in the darkness and take all that you think no one else can see to eat you alive

 

We are not meant to see up ahead in the future and no matter what our best plans are all we can do is hold tight to the reins of hope and call upon the universe and our creator to lead us through.

 

May we put all we are in Jesus who sustains the very wind that blows as the very breath that feeds our very lungs.

 

It is not because of who we are born into, from.  Or where we are.

For those who have nothing have everything and those with everything tend to burn in the luxury of what they are fighting to have life within.

 

Lessons are the very blessings of every new day given.   Share them, teach them, learn from them.   Hope in Christ alone is far better than anything I can ever be.

 

Thankful for no matter what piece of me is broken and put back out of alignment I am forever blessed and breathing.

 

For all the illness, all the broken pieces, all the empty promises or lies that someone may have given or taken.   No one knows your story more than you and Jesus.   Call upon him to fill you up with the beauty of what hope flows and means in the shining the light growing forward.    Don’t give up, don’t give in to what really in the end does not matter anyway.

 

Let it hurt, Let it Go and Let it Heal; But know you are not alone or meant to be on your own.  Circle up with your brothers and sisters and all God's children.   Pray out, call out right where you are.  God knows you.   Do you really know Him?

 

I am never a theologian and most days this scattered mind that never stops cannot even spell the word without thinking on it.  Do I have story, oh yeah!   Everyone does each day we are allowed back up.  The opportunities of what next are abundant for the time we are given.   Make them count.   Not for what you can get or take or have taken from you.  But all that is good, all that is kind, all that is love!   Even if; Even When!

1 Samuel 16:7 (GNT) Good News Translation

But the Lord said to him, “Pay no attention to how tall and handsome he is. I have rejected him, because I do not judge as people judge. They look at the outward appearance, but I look at the heart.”

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

If there is one thing this is my on-going life lesson in life. Patience and the need to slow down. Fortunately, and unfortunately over the years I have had some powerful wakeup calls by not doing so. But thankfully I lean in and learn what I can and move forward. Yup, I am that one that if there is something to be done, I tackle it head on and have a heck of a time waiting for someone else to do it for me.

 

Guess that is what happens when you grow up with strong independence. No matter what the reason.

 

The good thing is; whether it be a quick catch of something falling while it was hot and burning my hand without thought or some lifelong maybe not so thought-out decisions when it came to people, places and things that forever will be with me. Each day the good Lord allows me up; He breathes life in me to allow me, allowing all of us in fact to still choose what next.

 

Yes, it was not good even if it was not planned that my natural reaction like that of the automatic seatbelt in the front seat of a car when the breaks have to go on quickly. Just did not get out of the way for the pan as it slid down and would break something in its landing within the sink. But it is what it is and even at this stage of the game. Not sure why I even posted the pic of my hand last evening, I am always doing something while in my day to day. In any case it's one of those things in life's lessons. Let it hurt, let it heal, let it go! And always be held by the one that allows you back up each day.

 

I am beyond grateful for all the love and care and reminders to take care. Prayerfully I hope no matter what is burning in your day to day you are as well. Everything is temporary in this world.

 

Including the scars, we sometimes carry from moments of things we did not think would be or happen that do. Time will heal and we hopefully don't stop living along the way while it does. But we also heed to the things that can be prevented by just looking both ways and all around us before we act.

 

Anyway, it is what it is until it's not and I am thankful to all my friends and family out here. Prayers and good vibes of healing for you in whatever it is you are going through. May the Holy Spirit fill you with abundance of love, comfort, and the strength to always get back up no matter what transpires. Live your best life knowing to where you came from and who you belong! With all the lessons and blessings along the way.

Psalm 119:114 (GNT) Good News Translation

114 You are my defender and protector; I put my hope in your promise.

 

Read full chapter

Psalm 119:114 in all English translations

 

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


What beautiful words of truth Psalm 119:114 so very true for me.   All I have is hope and the promises of God and all that transpired with Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit and God himself

 

If I am wrong and all of what was written for thousands of years is just a myth, then along with other believers at least I found harmony in such a very static noisy destructive world we have been given.    But if I am truly on point with trying to hold that moral compass for the respect, love and hope not only for the peace it brings me but what it reflects boldly for the world.   Then I am blessed to know the streets of gold will be nothing compared to the day coming when all believers in Gods big house eternally.

 

Failure does not define me; this world does not define any of us unless we choose to let it.

God knows I have made a ton of mistakes in my lifetime.  From choices, to running on empty creating ill selected choices and outcomes or just burning out to where I am not paying enough attention and getting physically, or emotionally burnt.

No matter how, what, or why we must rest and just turn our minds off and absorb who God wants us to be.

That is a struggle for many, I know it is for me.  When I do so much better helping others thrive forward.  Or at least I used to.  Whenever I never had to not deal with me and poured all I am into everyone else.

Reality and truth does hurt sometimes.  We can easily burn out.  Been there done that and oh so very often could not just say. I cannot be there this day or this week because I was somehow obligated.      

Thank goodness I am slowly learning to heal even what is not broken.    Let it go and if it hurts well, they always say no pain, no gain.  

 

To fall in love with all Jesus is, was and forever will be.   Man 10,0000 reasons would never even count.

I uses to want to be loved from the outside in the way Christ loves us inside out.  But I realize humanity is just not built that way.

Everything happens for a reason and though darkness, pain, hate and all the hurtful angry moments in the world should never be.   The one who fills me up from the inside has given me strength to not give up and quit in the journey I was blessed to have.

No matter what the creator of all things who has given me the very breath from the day He allowed me to come into this world.  Is still in control.  

Anything outside of that when it comes to control is nothing but an illusion.

Yet humanity puts all they are into controlling what changes second by second.

In the darkest moments or the brightness memories what we choose to believe matters for the prisons we allow to be created within our own being.  Nothing changes who Christ is, was or will be!

I had fell in love with a dream with being wide awake a long time ago.   No theology, not person, not secular teaching can change any of it but changing what it is called or diagnosing.

Wide awake in love with all that Jesus has for me.   Wanting more, wanting it all.  Whatever that looks like.

Letting go, of what hurts, letting it heal into the one that took on the pain, sorrow, cruelty of this world long before any of us ever came to be.

What have I been doing?

Why have I not written what swirls in this mind maze daily?

When will something new come out or something exciting that the world finds qualifying?

Laughing out loud as these mind maze thoughts come fourth.  

 

I often wonder what it would be like to just be held in the physical sense and know they will never let go and then I remember that is what our maker has wanted for himself and us all along.

When the passion we have turns to the compassion that feeds our souls everything changes.  It never stops the wanting, or the fact we are all made to desire and love.   Or all the in-betweens of what we do to fill the gap when we do not allow the Holy Spirit to live deep withing our veins.

I am no expert, will never claim to be even if I had all the knowledge in the world.  That is not my spot to blow up.   However, I will give thanks and be grateful even when it hurts, even when I watch others suffer, even when I don’t understand, even when I need to walk away because I disagree yet still love so many.

The world seems to have been on that blanket and those holding the four corners that flipped us up in the air dropped and ran.  Leaving all the broken pieces scattered about.

Cutting many along the way, making others crazy, and just allowing so much hurt and hate to transpire so much more innocence is being destroyed.

Yet he still allows me, maybe you if you are reading this back up to just keep fighting forward to stay in the light and help things grow along the way where you can.

Being in the light is not about the platform or stage.   Its about helping things grow, including remaining nourished yourself along the way.

Don’t burn out trying to achieve or be something that in an instant is gone and you have nothing.   

Know all the gifts in the world we are given are temporal.   Love the life and the people in it that you are given in this journey.  Cause no where is it promised it should be easy or forever.

 

Anyway, blessed with all the broken, shook up, up misplaced, perfect bold, colorful, dull pieces of me along this journey.  Thankful I have been given this thing called life.   I hope anyone that reads this or anything I have dumped out of the short circuits of my mind maze, find their blessings too.

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


As the routine starts and the fur babies meow out with me telling them they have to wait till the day light.     Funny how we take for granted just how so many understand what we say or do even without words at times.   

 

When you watch others suffering and that one day, they come to you in redemption and fear you will be angry and turn your back on them.  While all the while you knew what they were going through or doing but it was their own choice they had to admit and own up and dare to want change for themselves.

We may have every right to hate things that people do that cause major discomfort, even tragedy or slow destruction in their very beings.

But nowhere should we hate any soul for who they are.    Yes, we need to maintain our own boundaries and making sure we do not get sucked in.  As it is known if we stay too long, we become what we hang with.

However, that does not mean we turn our backs without doing our best to lead the way even when we are not trying.

There is always someone watching and you, me are leading example no matter if we are teaching others good, bad, or indifferent behavior.

 

It is not our job to demand or force anything on anyone.   If you have ever been a parent anyone knows that even if you force a toddler to do something for their own good, it gets chaotic and loud and not always has a successful outcome that intended.

There is a time and place for everything and everyone.    Just because we want what we want when we want it does not mean we can have it.  And that does not make a difference if we have money and have worked for it ourselves or it is available at our fingertips to take from others.

We are not entitled for anything!  Even if this world in today’s society tells us we are.

As I finally let the cats out on the pool deck once the daylight comes, that way I can see if they get out when the dogs run in and out, I have a good chance to save them before they wander in harm’s way.

As I wander around the deck pulling up the little growths of weeds sprouting between the pavers from all the rain that comes in the afternoon.  Be it I want it or not they will keep coming until I can afford to have the entire deep cleaned, resealed and made new.

New growth good, bad or indifferent happens minute by minute while we want it to or not.

What we do, how we react and who we enable along the way matters.

It matters to our own well-being if we find ourselves caught up thinking that by doing something for others will make them stick around and be real.  Or for that matter, leave when they just stick around because of what you keep doing for them.   Which may not be a bad thing, until you see the true side of who their hearts really allow them to be with disrespect and distain in some cases.

So why do I cling to Jesus

Well, I know I have let down many in my journey.  And man, so many have broken me to the edge I wanted to be dead.

What we do with the next steps matters.

Jesus has never let me down and when I finally got back up from the world and my own ill-educated choices and made it through to the other side even with lumps, bumps scars or bruising.  Well had he not been there I would have never made it  here today.

There will always be the joy vampires out there trying to force their way on you and still the joy given deep inside or far more users and takers than givers without a doubt.

However, the freedom of choice and will has been given to each and every one of us as to what we do next.   The ability to love someone for who they are and not what they do or what they have.

To help plant the seeds of life and growth no matter how the overcast and over shadowing of the world we live tries to convince us differently.

 

We are all made in the image of God

We all have ability to read, or hear the truth written from history and intent God sent his son to earth in form of man so we could know humanity was created in love, for love and harmony for. Even if and when the world does not allow it to be.

Waiting on the morning daylight?

The Son will always rise.  No matter what the storm, what the issue, what the illness, what the crowd is screaming.   Jesus is forever with us if we call upon his name to carry us through.
