The Thoughts of a Coffee Drinking Vessel

So many times we are so focused on learning other ways to dance that we forget to find our own rhythm. We all have a best within us that has the ability to create awesome and life changing choreography. If we would just set our minds to think of the movement and to find our center. Dance into your healing. Listen to the rhythm within you and express yourself.  We all can have the gift, but you cannot express my movements like me. I cannot express your movements like you. Make it your own. Be sharp as a tack yet flow like water. "Tune me into foot tapping songs; Set these once broken bones to dancing." -Psalm 51:8(MSG) 

"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit-fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in My name." -John 15:16(NIV) Chosen to bear fruit. A reason your prayers may not be answered is because you are not bearing fruit. Are you sharing Jesus with others besides the ones who are in your circle? When was the last time you told a complete stranger something that could change their life? Like Jesus loves them, have a blessed day or week, etc. Do they see your light or do they see your dilemmas?  Things to consider. Stop avoiding strangers and start bearing fruit. 

With it being the holiday season we often rely on certain people to hold things together. This has happened for centuries. We call them "the glue". All the pieces come back together because of the glue. However, do we ever consider what the glue goes through? Let's go there. 1) When not needed the glue is ignored. It sits on a shelf for long periods of time without a thought given to the fact that the tip (head) is dried up from a previous use.  2) The glue gets poured out and squeezed in extreme circumstances. Sometimes the person doing the squeezing barely recognizes the strength they are using.  3) The glue is carrying a lot of weight. It is again holding pieces together that carry a mass weight. The glue has to harden itself to hold everything together. 4) Finally, the glue cannot be refilled. Once empty it is thrown away and replaced.  Again I ask, have you ever considered the glue? Consider what (who) you are using. Ask yourself if you want to throw them away. ...

This is a very transparent blog. There may be a scripture reference at the end. There may not be. Life gets hard. You often have to remind yourself that you can't let your feelings rule your life. This is what I am learning in this current stage in my life. When I go to talk to someone I don't want a deep answer at this point. There are so many deep people out here that they are drowning in teaspoons full of water. Why don't you just say you have been through it or you have not? And if you have how did you get through it? Have you ever cried, cussed, cried and cussed? Let's just get real for a minute. I know I have done that and some more when I have gone through. It's like the concept of being human has completely gone out the window. Can we just get real with people for once in our lives? Tell someone you have been broke, heartbroken, frustrated, fired, whatever it is? Every person does not know the scripture from beginning to end. You don't either. However,...

Scripture reference: Psalm 63 God wants us to seek Him early and stop consulting people. We have seen God do it over and over again yet we still doubt. People show us who they are and how they hinder us and we keep going back to them. Their approval has become an addiction that we are unwilling to be set free from because we like the attention whether negative or positive. When will we remove the cobwebs from our ears, the spiderwebs from our eyes. It's like we are in a chosen state of denial and then we are begging the Lord to get us out. We have seen the power and the glory. We have to seek God early. His love for us is better than life... We have got to stop the madness. We know who God is.  Be encouraged. Know you are loved and that there are people praying with and for you. 

I'm learning to recognize that some folk are just comfortable in their chaos and I refuse to conform to the confusion. Hoarding of stuff physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally can jack you all the way up. Feeling cluttered is not cool. At some point you have got to become irritated with the mess you have surrounded yourself with. At this moment, you need to use what filters you were blessed with. Take me for instance. I have no filter but everyone's mess doesn't reach my inbox. Some stuff gets trashed immediately. Why? Because they know better and refuse to do it. I'm not fighting my battles and yours. With love you tried it.  Going forward pray that God's will be done. And if it doesn't line up pray for it to be dismissed quickly.  With love

As I get closer to my 35th birthday I'm realizing that I don't have the memories that other people have. I don't remember kindergarten through the first half of my second grade year. When I'm around those talking about that time it gets difficult because I can't tell you what I can't remember. At times I feel like I'm being protected and in all honesty I struggle with it. I have feel like I have a right to know. Just being honest and transparent here. I'm writing this blog tonight to encourage myself. Be thankful for the protection. The bible tells us that 10,000 will fall but it won't come near you. Psalm 91. I guess I should be happy that I don't have to struggle with what I can't remember. I'll get there eventually. Just know that you aren't the only one who is struggling with this. I'll be reading Psalm 91 tonight. I encourage you all to do the same. Let's dwell in His protection and not what we don't know.
