Day 3148: June 29, 2021

Prompt: All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope. Alexandre Dumas
What do you think?

How about the two words, common sense? Wait. That is only wisdom when you know how to use it. Lol I think wisdom is knowing what to do with the knowledge and information you currently have. It is being able to learn new things and the ability to apply it to real life situations. That is what I think.

Wisdom isn’t always waiting and hoping. Sometimes wisdom is also taking action at the right time appropriately. We can wait and hope for things that will not happen. That may not exactly be wise. Wisdom is knowing when to wait and hope and when to take action to make things happen.

 Come My Love Eternal  (E)
Ageless, Eternal Love, and our surety in Christ
#1576388 by InkWellspring66

. Do you believe love is eternal and destined? If so, why do most people find their true love in their hometown?

Wow! That was an awesome poem. I was a bit surprised to see the Biblical quotes at the bottom. This sounds to me like someone who may believe in reincarnation, the poem itself that is. I certainly did not expect the biblical twist. These are interesting thoughts, however.

I do believe in soulmates. I don't believe we are eternal like God. We were created. We have a beginning. However, I do believe that our souls can live eternally from here on out. Man did not become a living soul until God breathed the breath of life into him.

If love was destined, why do we sometimes get it wrong? Why do we sometimes fall in love with someone who doesn't love us back the same way?

Prompt:
“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” Terry Pratchett
What do you think this quote is about, and should we hide the fact that we have open minds; that is. if we think we have open minds?

I don't think it is wrong to be or let people know you are open-minded. You do have to make sure you have a filter in place though so the dirt doesn't get through.

Prompt: “…there is no perfect ending.
Indeed, there are infinite endings”
Louise Glück
What do you think of endings, and why do they hurt, sometimes?

Everything changes. They also say that all good things must come to an end. In reality, everything seen is temporary. People die. Plants die. Animals die. Clothes and other items get old and decay. The earth itself ages and changes. According to the Bible, even earth will come to an end.

I think endings hurt sometimes because of the finality of the ending. As an example, even those of us who believe in life after death, are saddened when a loved one dies even if we think they are now in a better place or state. We are sad because we know we will never see them again as long as we continue to live. Parting is such sweet sorrow.

I have been on a sort of extended leave for both illness and class. At Regent University, where I am a student, the class changes every eight weeks. In other words, we do 16 weeks of work in 8 weeks. My Pneumatology class just officially kicked off last week, but it populated on Blackboard two weeks ago. I try to get everything done quickly, since it is pretty much learn at your own pace. I never know when I am going to be deployed for a disaster. If I am deployed I would be gone for two weeks. Missing two weeks of graduate school would mean taking an F. So I get through the main work quickly. I am now three weeks ahead of schedule so I can relax a little.

Who gifts better then God? No One.
#2175896 by S. E. Mabson (43)
. If you wrote a letter to God, what would it say?

I write letters to God all the time. They are like prayers. Sometimes I vent. Sometimes I make requests. Sometimes I confess sin. Sometimes I just praise him. Sometimes I discuss strategy for dealing with life’s issues. A lot of my letters to God are personal. I have a folder I keep them in. Sometimes they are long and sometimes they are short. Here is one for today.

Dear God,

Thank you for everything you have given me. Thank you for getting me through another day. Help me to get a good night's sleep and prepare my way for me tomorrow. Help me to feel better physically so I can do all the things I need to do. Give me the strength and energy I will need. Help me to eat the right things so that I can live healthier.

In Jesus ‘s name,
Marvilla
Amen

Prompt: Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
Seneca the Younger
Write about a beginning that came from an ending.

The day a person graduates from high school is a good example of this, or someone graduating from college. A marriage is an example. For a plant to grow into a plant, the seed must first die in the ground. One generation dies and a new one is born. A new day will not come until the present one ends.

For my blog

Prompt:
Where have you seen God this week? How have you experienced him? Do you have a testimony this week?

Answer:
It is sometimes the smallest things. I can sense his presence at times when I am talking to him. I can see him working in my life opening and closing doors. I see prayers being answered. I know he is with me even when I felt to exhausted to have my quiet time last night. I still felt his presence.

I found a butterfly wing just laying on top of the grass yesterday when I took the dog out. One of the spots on the wing was shaped in a heart. It was as though God was reaffirming his love for me and letting me know he was pleased with me. I needed it. It has been a long rough week.

July is soon approaching, the 7th month of the year. How are your goals going? Are you feeling confident where you are? Or you winging it day by day? Now's a good time to evaluate the year.

I am winging this year I think. It has been so unpredictable. At least 7 people I knew have died. There is another one about to die. I have been helping my elderly neighbor who keeps falling. There is just a lot going on this year. My own health is a factor in the equation too. Hopefully, the second half of 2021 will go better than the first half.

In theory, I would much rather write about reality in my blog rather than fiction. However, I hope my blog is still anticipated. I have set in motion on the road to celebration if I can succeed in becoming successful as a writer.

For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


Prompt 1:
Psalm 55:22
Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Have I dumped all of my emotions and worries on God? Do I trust him to handle all of my problems?

Answer:
When I was young and my dad didn't want to hear what I had to say, “He told me to go tell God about it.” So that is exactly what I did. I often wondered what it would be like when he stood before God and had to deal with all those things then with God. Now I am saddened by that thought. Did I really want my dad to face God's wrath? No, I wanted him to love me for who I was and to care about how I felt. I wanted his love, attention, and affection. Obviously, I didn't always get that. I would get slapped around, held against the wall by a choke hold without my feet touching the floor, and held down and hit repeatedly. I would get verbally put down too.

I share this story because I hope it will help someone else. If you are a dad who does this to your kids, please stop. If you are the one being abused, I hope you are able to get out of that situation somehow. If not, please don't lose hope. There is a God who sees and cares about you. He is able to deliver you at the right time and is able to turn your sorrows into joy. It may not be in your timing or how you think it should happen, but there is a time and good purpose for everything.

Yes, I talk to God about everything. I have spent many nights crying out to him. I love the song, “For Those Tears I Died”. I could say it is a personal testimony for me. I can sing every word and mean it.
https://youtu.be/AIrizhT_ckU

Prompt 2:
I read some statistics last night that both startled me and broke my heart. The statistics said that over 58% of Christians do not believe in Holy Spirit. Of those who do believe 34% believe He is subordinate to Jesus and God, maybe the boss of angels or something. An addition percentage believe His is simply the power of God.

What is Holy Spirit to you?

Answer:
I believe the Holy Spirit is just as much God as Jesus the Son and God the Father. I believe he is our helper. He is the God in us and for us and with us.

Humans have body, soul, and spirit. We are made in the image of God. Our spirit is just as much a part of us as our body and our soul. They are just 3 very different parts with 3 very different roles. My thoughts are, God the soul, Jesus with his bride the body, and the Holy Spirit as the spirit. At least that is what makes sense to me, and the best way I personally can understand it.

Resilient and hopeful are good. As long as our hope is in God and not in our fantasies or temporary things, we have true hope. Our hope is secure in Jesus Christ.

What's the most prominent sensation your body is feeling right now? Where is it and how does it feel?

I think my most prominent feeling is emotional at the moment. I just had to pick my elderly neighbor up from a fall this morning. It is probably her 5th or 6th fall in the last 3 weeks. I am concerned about her. The fall before this one, she broke her nose and everything in her face shifted to the right. She has to see an oral surgeon. Her face is all swollen and bruised. Her legs seem to be getting weaker. I don't want to betray her trust, but we may have to call her daughter to let her know everything that's going on.

Apparently, I am really not in a great mood to write right now. I am still answering the prompts rather I want to or not. I am just overly tired I think which has put me in a grumpy mood. Hopefully, I don't sound too harsh. I have been taking care of my elderly neighbor and her dog in addition to my roommate and our dog. I am worn out. My elderly neighbor keeps falling and this last time, her face broke her fall. She has daughters. Two of them live out of state. One lives in the same state. However, she seems to act like it is a bother for her or her husband to do anything for her mother. Plus, her mother is quite stubborn. I just can not leave her unattended like that. It is not in my nature to do so. She needs help. So I am helping her even though she technically is not my responsibility. 😔

For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Hebrews 4:16
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Am I shaming myself or believing that grace isn't enough? Am I holding onto guilt after I have confessed my sins to God and know I have been forgiven?

Answer:
Sometimes I do struggle with forgiving myself when I know that God has forgiven me. I have to work to let go of that guilt. I have had to look up Scriptures about it and pray those Scriptures several times before it sunk in, but that is usually how I deal with feelings of guilt.

I have writer’s block about the Sherlock holmes mystery below. Today has been busy, and I am really not in the mood to write about a murder mystery. I do believe I can do it. I am just tired and don’t really want at the moment. Maybe I will do better if I wait a couple of hours. I do like the way the writer expressed themselves in this poem though. We all go through it from time to time.

Image for BCOF members to put in their blogs


Sherlock Holmes came for a visit because of your dreams about an unsolved murder in your family. It's driving you bonkers not knowing who did it. Write about your discussion with Holmes and your anticipated results.

Mr. Holmes, this is a surprise. I didn't know of any murder in my family. Since you have no questions for me because there has been no crime. I will just say goodbye now. I hope you find whatever it is you are looking for.

Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Hebrews 13:15
By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.

Am I worshiping God or complaining to God? What attitude am I bringing my requests to God with?

Answer:
This is an area I need to work on. I do worship. Don't get me wrong, but I catch myself complaining at times. I have to ask God to give me the right perspective. I ask him to renew a right heart within me. To some extent, we have to be able to bring our complaints before God, but we really have to examine our hearts when we do so. We don't want to complain against God or against his anointed ones like the children of Israel did in the wilderness. I have to check my attitude all the time.

I really haven't done much differently yet. I have had my vaccine but am still a bit paranoid about going out without a mask. It is more fear that my roommate will get it. She has a lot of health issue that make her high risk.

Day 3142: June 23, 2021

Prompt: What are you reading? Would you like to share a quote from the book?

I am in the process of reading the Bible every day. I am currently not reading another book at the moment.

Romans 10:9-11
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Romans12:1-2
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Am I paying attention to my physical, emotional, and mental health? In what way do you think your health in these areas affect your spiritual health?

Answer:
I think by taking care of our physical, mental, and emotional needs, we are taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit. We are to be Holy as God is Holy. We would not want to let a building used for worship to be in poor repair. Therefore we need to take care of our bodies too. We are an instrument of praise towards God, made for his glory in his image.

On the other side of the coin, we are to pursue our spiritual relationship with the Father first and foremost. In doing so, everything else will fall into place.

Prompt: “Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.” Margaret Mitchell
Your thoughts on the quote and/or since we’re born into this life, shouldn’t we expect at least something, be it a minute thing?

Well, this is a quote that requires you to think kind of deep. It may not be good for us overthinkers. Lol Unfortunately, to many of us have a sense of entitlement. I think the quote is true. It is not saying we can not expect certain things. The quote is saying that life is not under obligation to give you what you expect. Therefore we get another quote, “Always expect the unexpected.” 🤷‍♀️

For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Proverbs 29:25
The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.

Am I paying too much attention to what people think of me Instead of what God thinks? What do you think God thinks of you? Does it matter what other people think?

Answer:
As far as I know I am not. I know God sees me as his child. I am fully covered in the blood of Christ. God sees the blood of Jesus and then he sees me. I hope I will hear that he is well pleased with me when I die and go to meet him.

To a point, it matters what others think. We are supposed to be witnesses for Christ. If we do wrong or don't have a good reputation, it can hurt our witness and ability to see other people saved. We are to let others see our good works so they can glorify the Father in Heaven.

Day 3139: June 21, 2021

Prompt: Write about a summer vacation.

Most summer vacations in my teenage years were spent at Falls Creek Baptist Church Camp. They had 5 weeks of it. I would go one week with one church and go another week with another church. I loved it because it got me away from home for a while. One year, I went 3 weeks in a row.

I would also go and spend a week with my Dad's brother and his wife for a week. My aunt would send me back home with new clothes for the next school year.

For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.
10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.
11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
12 And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Do you have other Christian friends, a group of people you can go to when times are tough? If so, let's talk about them. If not, what actions can we take to build ourselves a support system made up of other Christians?

Answer:
Yes! But not many. I have a lot of friends, but I only have a few close friends that know my secrets. They are the ones I really lean on when times are hard. My roommate and I have been best friends for over 20 years. She is the person that probably knows more about me than anyone else. She and I have been through some of the toughest times of our lives together.

I also talk to my cousins and I have one neighbor that I trust really well. I am still working to develop that fellowship at church. Sometimes trust and friendships take some time to build, at least the ones that are worth while any way.

Your stranded on a desert island, what's more important your five favorite books or five favorite foods or five favorite outfits ?

My favorite five books are the most important to me. As long as I have food to eat and clothes to wear I am fine. The books give me something to do. The most important book in my life is the Bible, and I think I would feel lost without it.
