Thinking Out Loud – Journal Thoughts/Prayers / Mind Maze Overflow
Can you hear Glory to the light of the world? Is the static of all that really matters not
so loud we cannot not remember we to are created from the same dust that Christ
blood poured down that tree into the ground for the dust to breathed to life. We are one yet so broken allowing the cosmic
darkness to intercede and consume what we think we are allowing to be pushed
away so we do not have to deal with it.
Does not matter what vessel or gate we are traveling through. At what point do we realize every little
speck matters?
At what will you realize where you are in this universe and who created
you allowing life each day you are allowed back up?
We all have a story
Mine may have many different broken pieces glued back together or just
squeezed in at a different angle. I am
fully aware the air I am given in this vessel that carries me comes from the
God who shines the stars in abundance.
As he allows his love to give us breath every moment, we are allowed
more of the journey that someday will end in the form we know it and continue
on either in abundance of Glory that only Jesus can shine through us or in
complete darkness where the only awareness is the screams of pain and horror in
the torment that will never go away.
We are all broken we need not live in it; we need not deny it.
The Prince of Peace is waiting for you to climb into his lap where your
hope, your trust will hold you safely forevermore.
Just because you were someone yesterday; who are you today? We all change, by our choices, by
circumstances of other’s choices. By what
we do or do not do. By and at the hands
of others. What we say or do next will always
matter.
When we are running from violence and domestic situations of those
within need to be separated. It does not
mean you don’t love that person who hurts you because you must love them
through prayer and give it all over to God.
We; men or women are not Gods that we should be trying to change or fix
anyone. And we are not super humans
that we can take others verbal, mental or physical abuse because they are
broken. When you get away stay away.
I won’t deny that it is the hardest thing you must ever do to think the
love of your life turns into some monster and all you can think of is how you
were making plans for eternity yet five minutes within the same wrong could
cause you life as you know it. You leave,
you get as far away and never look back physically. You give it over in prayer and move on and
never ever make excuses for anyone’s inability to love themselves much less
know the difference of what love is for anyone else. Love is not control, love is not physical,
verbal or any kind of manipulation or abuse ever. Love is not accepting excuses for others bad
behaviors or ability to make good choices.
GOD IS LOVE!
There can be allot of things that people you meet will say and do in
your lifetime. However, when you think fondly
of them, know why if you are ever asked.
More importantly when you think so fondly of anyone do you acknowledge
your own being with the same atonement?
Why or why not?
We must truly know ourselves and love ourselves and know who we are in
the image of Jesus Christ’s son of God, Maker of all things. All the dark, corky, hysterically moments of
laughter and tears.
The day you finally realize who you are and realize that you need no
one, but when you choose to be involved it is a want. How differently things become. Sure, life goes on and the good, bad and
indifferent will come in waves. But
you stop settling and accepting just for the moment.
Allot of emotion comes out during the holiday seasons. The loss of people, places and things sometimes
bring us so down we end up sickly ourselves.
Bringing out the agitation and uncalled for emotion of anger trying to
hurt others like we carry around for something God took away a long time ago.
Working with littles on Wednesdays one of the things we do before
getting outside time. We all give one
prayer or praise on the board and at the end we pray together. For these children ages 1st through
5th to be praying for their parents or grandparents’ health or needing
homes or even that their friends’ parents are getting divorced. Or that they just have a good visit when
they see their mom or dad. Or those
that are a little older who are withdrawn as they adjust to foster care because
at 10-years old they are fully aware that their parents are heroin addicts and
in prison. The stories are on and on
with the roads of shattered glass up ahead for who long only God will know. My own family what would once be a son-in-law
being beat to death and set on fire all while gangs’ video tapped it and sent
it to people that knew him. In the
wrong place at the wrong time doing the wrong things. Taking life from his family as if the evil
performed on him alone was not enough.
To know his children were exposed to something that will never go away
even though the evil took place in another country and is now done and
over. Will they ever heal? Will those who were so dark ever come to
justice? Only God knows! He knows every second before it even
happens. Before the dreams, before the reality, before the laughter or the tears. He knows it all.
I have seen and heard so much in this lifetime and how I am able to
still get up with even the slightest bit of hope. I am blessed. Even on those days that I too become a little
more vocal about how the world is going.
Or what about even driving down the highway and someone driving a fool
on a busy highway. It is not coincidence my life has me still
here, still sometimes challenging my lack of trust and setting myself up for
failure or those times when it is beyond believe I have to seek direction the
duration from him. I will as you will
always be the owner of the highs and lows that you will need to work
through. That I will work through! We have to believe in something. I believe in God the Father; Jesus Christ his
son and the Holy Spirit that has and does breathe life into even the most deflated
debilitating moments in this thing I call life.
Often reminded the lack of trust I have carried all my life and with just
cause. For all those moments I plunged
into thinking I had it all figured out with dreams playing out in this mind of how things would be only to have the screen
ripped into and rudely awakened. There
is a different of taking that trust game with people who have your back and
just plain lack of fear; compared to reasons and desires to want to live.
Along the way if you choose to grow and find who you are. You learn to grow when the light shines down
on you. And the beauty of light in love
is you cling to it and hold on with all you got. And yes when you have an a light go out because
you realize they too are human and struggling with what their journey and you yourself
put way too much into what they gave by what they did and forget they too need
to live.
Yeah, the riddles of this mine
speaking in fragments that have impacts like looking down from the top of that roller
coaster ride and the flash of what if this would be bad until the thrill washes
through and you are on the other side.
Riding the waves of life is the same way. Just now so much harder to find that
floatation device when you get so exhausted because the darkness and wars are so
much closer.
The universe knows how dark it is!
No big surprise. Sick, twisted
spirits robbing innocence and breaking others in droves. For no apparent reason it seemed but the fact
they could at the time they did it.
Is darkness winning. We need
not forget about any of that; but we need to shine brighter through the
darkness and not let it consume us.
God is the light, he is the breath, he is all that sustains us. The one who opened his arms, and the sky was
filled with bold beautiful universal stars to light the way. Why is it so hard to keep shining?
Perhaps because we are clinging to that of this world and not of the
one who allows it to be. I am no expert;
far from it. I am just AlwaysMe! As each day comes through and I am allowed
another I find my tolerance to be limited for hate and the garbage that is
temporal for the one spewing especially where you can clearly see it will have
a lifetime impact to someone, somewhere.
For all of those who found Everything in nothing. Kudos!!! For those still struggling and doing
whatever it takes to make your mark, find your mark or be the mark others may
remember for more than 15 seconds much less 15 minutes of fame. The only way to found is lost. You have to go to the maker and the only way
to get to God is through Jesus Christ.
Daily, every second of every day you are given. The journey is yours; you like me just impact
all those you been blessed to connect along the way. Someone is always
watching. Someone is always listening
and waiting for their opportunity. The
choices of what you are chasing or allowing to go by are yours. No matter what direction know only you can
drive the change for you. You cannot
change anyone else and if you think they are changing you. I it is because you are allowing them to do
so. The freedom and will and choice
that God gave every one of us. Need to
be maintained just as much as our physical temples we are allowed to travel
in. Get back up, don’t give in to darkness. Shine bright and know there will always be
someone out there looking at misery needing company. There will always be mean people who suck
and always bullies taking and steam rolling over the beauty in your hearts garden. Give it to God, pray for them, pray for
change. Pray for peace in their
souls, even for the forgiveness we need ourselves. Learn to forgive yourself with and through
Jesus. Let it Go; Let it Hurt; Let it Heal
in and with Him!
As I myself lift all those heartstrings up for healing, to be
unknotted, to be straightened out, to be wrapped around and in abundant love,
hope and the peace only Jesus can give.
You know all things, Father. I
need not call out names, or situations.
Thank you for this day, thank you for this moment. Your will forever be done throughout all I am
or connect with.
