Thirsty Thursday

In your thirst for knowledge, be sure not to drown in all the information. …

Ecclesiastes 12:12 KJV: And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

K.I.S.S. Keep It Simple Stupid

rehab

So many theories, so many opinions

John 14:6 ... “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” King James ..

So many religions, so many people trying this and that. It is so simple. Jesus. He is the answer.

John 4:13-14
Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.”


Matthew 5:6
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Isaiah 44:3  For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.

John 7:37  Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

Do not let me mislead you, there are many more scriptures on thirsting for the Jesus, these are just a few. If you want to know, ask, if you are seeking you will find but seek you must. The answers are there. You do not have to ask someone, ask God. Then open up the living Word! I pray you are blessed and that the burning quest for knowledge you are searching for be found in the Lord!

Thankful Thursday

Every day may not be good. But there’s good in every day. Happy Thursday.

Hello Grief

you are not alone
#thestruggleisreal#grief

Hello Grief. I was wondering when I’d see your face today. I’d say it was nice to see you but it would be nice to see you forget me. Oh! I see you brought your friends along. Hello Guilt, hello Shame. Well come on in, make yourself comfortable. I know your agenda, so let’s not pretend this is social. Take a seat. Roll the film, it’s show time! There’s my Shame! There you are Guilt! You two  never leave my side. Oh and look! You both know that perfect pitch to synchronize yourselves with Grief, so that you all three are felt as one, bitter sweet memory. One never ending slow progression to this one exact precise moment. My awakening. Indeed, my reckoning, I have this moment every day. Sometimes once, sometimes many times a day. Well, today I’m gonna seize the moment and momentarily I’m allowing myself to accept what I find truly unacceptable. That hard task, the challenge of being me 

My Abyss

Me during my addiction

I gave it all away, just to take it all back. I have once again reached into that great lonely abyss, my addiction and claimed it as my own, knowing that it takes all that I have, knowing it is all freely given. I remember walking away but I’m unclear why or what had me look back but I do know that I did. We all have afflictions. I myself have had quite a few. By far the most challenging would be my heroin addiction. My drug addiction is my most painful affliction. How could I have come so far to digress even farther? How could I take ten steps forward and a hundred back? I shake my head, then lower my head, in shame. I can’t answer that, not for you. Certainly not for me. I just know that right now, I am not really living anymore, barely existing in a valley of pain. Sorrow is all around me. Now, when I saw that abyss, it wasn’t sad, it was beautiful and perfect, like it always is, for the first time. Like every other time, I left everything I love for that deep dark lonely painful abyss that is my addiction Once again, It’s sad. Their sad and most of the time I’m sad. I don’t have to ask myself . I already know the answer. I’m not at all who I used to be. I’m not at all who I could be. My personal abyss, my chosen fissure of affliction, slowly over time did bring me down in the chains I myself had offered. It took everything I had and then it did take my life
