” Perfect love cast out fear”

John 4:18

” It is only the fear of God that can deliver us from the fear of man”

The only Cleric to sign the Declaration of Independence

John Witherspoon

Emotions may come and go, but we must never let them mislead us along the paths we walk. Feelings also may come and go, but the commitment will always stay, the commitment will keep us true to Jesus Christ, as well as having true faith, even at our most vulnerable times, and will keep away negative emotions like, doubt and fear. Jesus Christ chose the cross, forever committing himself to us, So let’s chose, on the front end, to be equally committed to him, no matter what trials or tragedies may come.

Fear will come to each of us at very different times, it will take full control as well. There are many different fears we will face, but none of them, with the true faith and commitment to Jesus Christ, that we can not conquor. A fear of anything is mostly of the unknown, and not truly knowing of what may be next to come, as we move forward through the fear. You climb a mountain and at the summit you are within the clouds of a storm, there is lightening all around you, and your hair on your head is standing straight up, from all the electric energy around you? This is a fear of not knowing where thr next lightening strike will be, and hopefully not a direct hit on the top of your head? You gain confidence with these types of fears, simply by knowing the right thing to do and taking shelter in a spot away from anywhere, that will reduce the chances of that direct hit.

Fear will also come from any unknown, like for instance, camping off the grid, in an area with no service, no runing water, no utilities, where you rely on a propane lantern or a campire to see at night. You are surrounded by thick forest and the night sky makes for a tough view at night, plus not knowing what is within the forest and fearing what may slip out of the forest, as it has you on alert, for every little sound or crackling of branches, within the thick forest. This type of camping will have you take the action of being prepared, while you are deep within mother nature, but with the true commitment in Jesus Christ and the faith in him, will give you all the hope for a safe time, to be had. Fear of the unknown is the biggest fear that will come to us all, and it will change you in many different ways, but if we handle this fear correctly, always keeping the faith and commitment in Jesus Christ, then there will be no fear we can not get through. Fear will bring the dark clouds of doubt over our heads, as they will not last and the light will be over us soon enough, with the true faith and commitment in Jesus Christ.

Through the fear of God, is the hope we will have to get through all the other fears we have. God is the one that can get us out of the darkness and into the light, but sometimes we fear God for the wrong reseasons, we let the other fears control us so much, that now we do not focus on what is real, then try to move forward in our own little made up realities, to try to escape into the fake world and try to be safe along our paths. Fear will have us bury our true selves deep within, as now we portray this fake self, so others around us will see us as okay? Once we are in this fake world, it becomes harder to escape that and get back to reality, cause now we have become conditioned with a fake feeling of security. This is when we need to truly keep the true faith and commitment in Jesus Christ, as he will guide us out of the darkness of the fear and into the light of God, so we all can walk our paths in peace, within the true joy of this journey.

We only fear God because, we have become conditioned from the darkness of the other fears and have lost the faith and the commitment of Jesus Christ. So many of us have walked away from the house of God, which is what leads us down this path of other fears around us. This leads us to the paths of many temptations, which will bring us these fears, and now without the visit into the house of God, we then try to walk through the darkness on our own, with no other around, to help us in the time of need. Just by looking into the deep forest, you may never see any other type of wildlife, but there are many types that live deep inside the forest, and when not prepared, it will make for a difficult time ahead. You learn with the faith and commitment in Jesus Christ, just how to move forward with each step, to overcome those fears, as now you can walk through the darkness of the forest and get back to the light of your camp, get back to familiar area and the comfort it brings, so you can step out of the darkness, as the light from the moon and the stars, light up the night sky, as you sit by the campfire and see all the true beauty all around you.

” Fear is within us all, it will take full control as well, it will bring us many temptations, and deeper into the unknown of the fear”

“When the darkness of the fear takes hold of us, it is the faith and commitment of Jesus Christ, that helps us out of the darkness and into the light of salvation”

The Differences are endless

” If the sun makes you free, you shall be free indeed”

John 8:36

The differences throughout this journey of life are endless, and we never stop seeing all the differences around us. From the paths we walk to the beautiful views mother nature provides, everything is different, and yes, we may be equal to each other with our features, but with our uniqueness, we are as different as these two pictures of the sunsets within mother nature.

Some of us may never truly step out within mother nature and hike a mountain, or camp off the grid of society, but that does not mean that they too, do not see all the differences around them, just that they do not see all the differences throughout this journey of life. When God created all that is around us, he did so thinking of everything, which that alone, makes you sit and wonder how he truly did this? God thought of everything, right down to all the differences all around us today. The different kinds of plant life, the different wildlife as well, then you have all the different sunsets each and every day, yes there is only one sun, but each sunset comes in many different ways and colors. Then if you are in a great viewing place for the sunset, and never look away as the sun goes deep into the horizon, you then will be rewarded with different colors at each stage of the sun going down. I have seen this on a beach, on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts, simply stunning is the word I can best describe, and that word really does not describe the true beauty of what I saw.

There are so many differences all around, you really need to escape into the world of the outdoors, get off the grid and away from the bright lights of society, as you become one with mother nature and really feel the pulse of this great planet, that we all walk a path through this journey of life. Unfortunately within this broken society, the differences we see are all of the negative types, as some do not want us to see all the positive differences, these certain few, are why we are surrounded by all the ugliness, as this promotes all their agendas, so they can seem so powerful, that nothing can touch them? I have a simple news flash for you, they are not that powerful, as all we have to do is ignore them and turn the channel, now eventually they will lose enough money, that they will disappear from our existence. Mother nature has been here through thick and thin, throughout the history of Mankind, by all the true beauty she brings to us, you can see why she has always been there for our viewing pleasure.

The sun may be a few million miles away from us, which makes you wonder how it brings so much difference and beauty to us all? What we can really see when we look deeply into what we see is, the sun brings the light of day, which then takes a rest within the night sky. So very true is it when, as the darkness comes to us, there will always be light right around the corner. So yes, the sun comes and teaches us a lesson, as did Jesus when he came and walked his journey here with us, the problem is, we take it so for granted, that we never see the lesson we are being taught, simply because, we are to busy being out of focus, for all the wrong things. That bright thing within the sky, that heats up the day’s sky, brings us so much with each daily journey among us, but none better than the sunsets with all the different colors, as it goes deep within the horizon, right in front of us every day.

The differences throughout this journey vary greatly, with each difference will come much ugliness, as well as great beauty. As the sun brings the light to the day sky, the moon will bring the darkness as well, each comes with plenty of differences, but unless we look at the differences with an open mind, we will never see the true beauty they will bring as well. Just the animal life within each the moon and the sun will come very differently, like for instance, you have the Owls that fill up the night’s sky, but during the day they will sleep, as they can’t see as good during the day, hence why we call the night worker’s, ” night owls”. like why you never see a moose at night, as they wake up at the crack of dawn, to make their way to the local watering hole for a splash.

Everything has its differences, just like everything has its similarities as well. Yes, you can have your similarities, but without looking at the differences, you will never see the big picture, nor will you ever see the true beauty that is around you at every turn. Sometimes as we walk through this journey, we will let ourselves get too wrapped up in the ugliness, that we then will lose our focus on what is truly in front of us. Then as we become out of focus, we will never look deeply into anything around us, let alone look deeply into any horizon, to see any kind of beauty, that sunset will bring for our viewing pleasure.

Yes, we all walk through this journey of life, and yes, this journey is very similar to us as well, it is the path that we chose, that has all the differences for each of us, so when the path becomes full of bumps and twisting turns, it then becomes our responsibility, to then put in the work to flatten the bumps, and straighten the curves as best we can, as we continue moving forward, throughout this journey of life, as free, happy and peaceful as we can. There are many lessons for us to see, there are many differences in those lessons, but unless we look deeply into the differences, we will never see the lessons, let alone, see any true beauty that this journey will bring to us all.

” The differences may be endless throughout this journey, but so is the true beauty at every turn”

” The bumps and the twisting turns may bring real pain and hurt, but they should never stop us from moving forward and truly seeing all the true beauty”

” Here we spend our time, and what we see”

” What we think about matter”

Psalm 119:37

Corinthians 10:5

It is the many smaller journeys, within this bigger journey called Life, that make us up to be who we are? The Perspectives, the visions, the way we take actions from what we see, to inmplement them in our own way, this not only forms who we become, but what we tend to forget is, it forms many others around us, whether in a negative way, or a positive way.

We are all within this broken society today simply because, we in one way shape or form, have failed each other with our own actions. We have lost sight of one of the biggest conmandments that Moses, brought forth to each of us, from our Father, and the creator of all the beauty around us, ” Love Thy Neighbor”. We do not even know our neighbors anymore, let alone a simple hello in passing, we all move around like we are the creator’s? Like we own everything around us, and are entitled to everything around us? Yes God created all this for us to enjoy, but to enjoy with each other in harmony, without trying to attack and kill each other. Until the day comes that we all get back to who we truly are, we may never get back to a good and healthy society, it all starts with the actions of each one of us, as we move forward within our own journeys, of this journey thru life.

This journey through life has much beauty for us all to see, but when we keep the current actions we are taking, all this beauty will turn to ugliness all around us. Now I get the fact that each society throughout this journey will grow from one to another, but when they do grow and when they are taught the wrong things, from the wrong actions, this is where we have gone so wrong. Plus the fact that we of this society are so far removed from the time when, Jesus Christ came to us and walked this journey with us, has led us away from the house of God, and so far away that, there are some who just do not believe, or have formed their own Idealologies about the son of man. Well!!! Unlike the so-called media of today, I have a real news-flash for you, without the belief in Jesus Christ, you can not have any faith, which then leads to no hope.

Faith in anything is key to us walking our paths confidently, to be better and stronger. With faith in our selves, we then can keep moving forward, without stepping backwards into the unknown, and with that faith, we than can have great hope, that helps us to not just be who we are, but succeed in everything we set out to do, as we walk our paths of this journey. Now some in this society who have no faith in anything, will try to bring their inabilities to the rest of us? Then say that, you need to do as I say, because it is the only way? Some and because of their inabilities, will try to wreak all the power over us, so they can seem ( only to themselves), as the most powerful over all others. Then you have the ones that, just simply go with the flow, as to not bring any unwanted pain and hurt, let alone anything that takes away their comfort. People today fear so much of all ugliness and hatred out there, that they forget how to actually take a stand to it, how to look the fear in the eyes, so they can end that fear around them, so they keep to the status Quo, cause they fear more of the actions that may come to them.

We need to change our actions we take toward each other, we attack each other at every turn, this is not what Jesus taught us within his journey here, some will be Politically correct to your face, then stab you in the back when you turn from them? These actions only promote more ugliness and hatred, we need to get back to ” Love Thy Neighbor”, so we then can get back to, our true feelings and emotions, show more love and empathy of each other, then we can actually take the right steps moving forward, of how to make not only this society better and stronger, but make ourselves better and stronger, as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

With each little journey within this bigger journey, there is so much beauty around us, there is so much to truly see of what God created for us, the only way to truly see it is, we need to step out of our comfort zones, step out of our in actions, and get back to our true actions, get back to who we truly are, get back into the house of God, so we can truly feel the blood of Jesus Christ warm our hearts and flow freely within our bodies. When the blood of Jesus flows within us, we then will have the empathy of one another, so we than can get away from the ugliness and hatred, as we move forward within the proper changes, for us all to be better and stronger, as we walk our paths through this journey of life, within the peace and joy, that Jesus showed us as he walked this journey with us.

” The many journeys within this bigger journey, are what shapes us into who we truly are”

” Change is all around us throughout this journey, it is how we accept and adapt to the change, that shapes us into who we are”

His most precious Blood

” Jesus Christ, loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood”

Revelation 1:5

” The blood of Jesus Christ, cleanses, from all sins”

1 John 1:7

Even the very wealthy J. P. Morgan had found that, he to was powerless and just as dependant as the rest of us, on the mercy of God. What we take so for granted of today, is that no matter how rocky, or how uneven the land is, it is perfectly level when we all walk together in unity, especially when we walk within the faith of Jesus Christ, so we can feel the blood of our savior passing through our hearts, and throughout our bodies.

When we walk through the doors of the house of God, we all enter equally in guilt and full of sin, we all then leave equally forgiven and free. That same blood of Jesus Christ, is the blood that cleanses us and flows freely within our hearts, leaving us within the true faith in ourselves as well as Jesus Christ, so we all can have the hope moving forward, to achieve all we can, throughout this journey of life.

Somewhere throughout this journey, we have become separated from the love of Jesus Christ, yes he did come walk this journey with us, just that in this society, some just can not truly believe. There will be much change that will come to us all throughout this journey, this change can and will change each one of us for better or worse, it will bring much pain to us as well, but if we do not except and adapt to the change correctly, then the change will always change us for the worse, bringing a pain so deep, that we will hurt deeply, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

Within the faith in Jesus Christ, he then will bring us the hope, so we can except and adapt to all the change correctly, as we move forward instead of stepping backwards into the fires of Hell. We lose sight of where we are gong, when we don’t glance back at where we have been, seen what was good and bad back then, so we than can make the necessary adjustments, fix what we need to fix, as we then move forward, without repeating what was wrong and continuing it. This is what’s wrong in todays society, as some take away the past, just to keep all the control of today. These same ones are the ones who have buried the blood of Jesus, making their hearts cold, just as Satan has transformed them.

The great outdoors and walking through nature, is the best way to not only listen and feel the hearbeat of the Earth, it is a great way to get back in touch with the love of Jesus, as he unleashes the flow of his blood, back within your heart, so you can feel the true feelings all around you. Getting back within mother nature, is getting back in touch with the faith in Jesus Christ, as well as getting back the faith in yourself, with this faith, there will always be great hope for us all moving forward, so we can prosper and grow correctly, as we walk our paths through this journey of life, to be within the peace of the Lord, and the joy we all so look for. Then when we are all on the same page, and come together in unity, we will find that there is nothing that will ever try to derail us again.

We may not see Jesus, but he is always there and will never leave us. It is we the people that, with our actions, make it like Jesus does not exist. When we lose the true faith, there will never be any hope, no matter how much we try otherwise. Jesus will send us his signs, but when we neglect to see them, this is the start of our hearts turning cold. when the warmth within our hearts goes away, this should be a red flag to us all, as this is the biggest sign Jesus sends us, so we can make the necessary changes moving forward. The signs of Jesus Christ are all around us, we just have to refocus our minds, so we can truly see these signs, as we move forward along our paths, of this journey through life, to be better and stronger, within the peace and joy of Jesus Christ, as he brings us to the path of righteousness, and cleanses us of our sins, with his own blood.

” The heart is warmed from the love of Jesus, so his blood can pass through it as well as our bodies”

” The cool carm serenity of the great outdoors, will help heal your mind, body and soul”

The greatest security is the home within Heaven

” Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the son of man has no place to lay his head”

Matthew 8:20

” He who dwells in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty”

Psalms 91:1

Thought of the day:

Security is a big deal, it’s why we seek committed relationships, or high paying jobs. That’s also why it’s devastating when spouses leave and jobs are eliminated. Christ is the only true source of security, he will never leave you, or forsake you.

This journey through life we all walk a path within, is very much the same journey that Jesus Christ walked, when he came to us all. I get the fact that some will not truly believe in the son of man, they think it is just a myth, only because we are so far removed from this time, and the fact we of this time haven’t physically seen him, just we can not find the faith to truly believe. Very true that many of us have totally forgotten of what it looks like in the house of God, but you really do not have to walk in through the doors, simply because, if you have the true faith in Jesus Christ, he then lives within you, he gives you the faith in yourself, so you can achieve anything you set out to do. These days we live our lives on the exterior, but when that exterior is taken from us, like our jobs, or relationships, then we become extremely insecure in all we do, we lose faith in moving forward along our paths, then simply wander aimlessly throughout this journey.

Now with all the technology out there, yes there will be many security breaches, but when you truly believe in the faith of Jesus Christ, truly feel his love within your heart, there is nothing or anybody that can breach that security from you. I get the fact that we all want that someone special at our side, but with all the change that happens around us, with the way we change in our own ways, the only real security we can have is, with we ourselves, as we have total faith in ourselves like we do in Jesus. Is there really a such thing as a dream job? Within the way things change around us, there is no set dream job, job security is a thing of the past, as all the companies go through their changes, with these changing times. Each company has an image to portray, and if you do not portray that image, then its not worth your time to pursue that company, no matter how bad you want that job. Sometimes a job you think is not that glorious, ends up being just as glorious as the job that rejected you for an image.

We all in a way, within this society have become so fake, we will put forth a form of fake self toward others in order to try to be excepted by them, but at what cost does this practice really take? Because when we can’t even except ourselves for who we truly are, then how can all others truly except us as well? If we only put the effort in that we do for portraying our fake selves, just imagine how perfect this world would be, if we all put in the same effort, to be who we truly are? Just maybe this world would have more peace, happiness and love within it, as we walk through this journey.

This journey from beginning to end is all the same for each of us, just like we are all equal to each other, but just like we are unique to each other, this journey is unique as well, with the many paths within it for us all to choose from. Now as we choose which path we want to walk, when we do so with the total faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ, there will never be a wrong path, but when the faith is not there, then neither is the hope as we try to move forward within this journey. With no faith and no hope, we will never be secure in what we do, without any security as we walk our paths, this is where all the chaos and the ugliness will come to us, the problem then is, we will never see clearly along our paths, as the clouds from the chaos, become so dark, we will see no light anywhere on the path.

This society is so screwed up, that we think if we have all the money, then all our issues will go away? Money may buy all your material things, which gives you the fake feeling of security, but take away all the material things, take away all the money, and let’s see just how happy you can be? Within the true faith in yourself and in Jesus Christ, this is all the happiness you truly need, as now you can be truly of who you are, without making a conceded effort, to keep this fake self going. Being fake only breeds all insecurities, and when we put forth this fake self, not only are we not being true to one another, now we can not trust one another, which then leads into the lack of respect as well. All the ingredients we are all seeing around us now, the way we change this is, we all have to start being true to ourselves, start being true to who we are, then all the security we need, will be back within us. The security of knowing Jesus Christ is within us, the security that the faith in ourselves and in Jesus, is warming our hearts, so his blood can flow freely within us, which then gives us hope in all we do. With this kind of security, then we all can walk our paths in peace and joy, throughout this journey of life.

” We may leave our homes and our material things behind as this journey ends, but our true homes are within heaven with our faith in Jesus Christ”

” Without any security then we walk aimlessly through this journey, when we feel secure now we walk with a purpose”

” We all walk a path through this journey of life, we tend to forget that along the path are many smaller journeys that make up the bigger journey for us to be better and stronger moving forward”

***BowlingChef***

We all have our own likes and dislikes, and the only way for us to find out what they are, is to explore everything around us, so we can find out just what those likes and dislikes really are. There are so many things to chat about in order to determine what you like or dislike? The only one that can determine this, is you yourself. others may support you, or they may guide you, but ultimately, it is you, who truly knows what you like or dislike, as others can only speculate, or simply just give you ideas.

Yes we all walk this big journey called life, but within this journey are so many paths to choose from, we can become so overwhelmed, that quite frequently we will choose the wrong path, and as we keep choosing many paths, can and will become so lost within this big journey, that we then stop walking and start wandering, with no true direction of where we are going? It is okay to explore other paths, as this is the way we find what is the true path for us, not everybody will walk the same path, as we all have very different likes and dislikes. Yes we need to explore each path to find out if it is the right path, but when we get to deep into the path and lose sight of how to get back to the crossroad that turned us down this path, now we become lost along this journey, as now the clouds of our judgments have clouded what is in front of us.

This journey through life will also throw us curve balls, it will also have these life events that come to us. These events are very different to each of us, they are also either very hard to deal with or very miniscule and easy to deal with, yes they can control us as well, and when we let them control us, now we become someone for who we truly are not. These life events are part of life and yes they can come to us by another, who want nothing but to control us moving forward. So as you become lost within this journey, the only way to truly find your way back, is to keep exploring other paths, and stop hiding within yourself, for this does nothing but keep you wandering, without truly walking a path of this journey through life.

Everybody has their own way of dealing with the ups and downs this journey brings to us, some may find different ways to explore and clean the cobwebs that life will bring to us, for me, I love the outdoors and exploring all it has, plus the getting away from the rat race for even a short time, helps with the healing of the mind, body and soul. Mother Nature has her way of giving you a different outlook of what is around you. It is when you do not explore what life has out there, now you continue down a path, that is not really for you, and you then become bitter and unhappy, as you walk through this journey. The more bitter you become, the more hatred you develop, as you can clearly see all the hatred within this society we all walk our paths within.

Hiking, off grid camping, kayaking, these are great outlets to totally relax and clear the cobwebs, now true some may not like these, but there are so many more outlets, you just have to explore and find the right outlet for you. These outlets will help us refocus, determine things we have forgotten about, so we can get to truly of who we are, then get back to walking with confidence, along the path of this journey through life. Now some may not want us to remember any history, but it is the history we need to remember, so we don’t repeat it moving forward, plus it is the history, that helps us glance back and fix what we need to fix, as we move forward better and stronger, while we escape within Mother Nature and heal ourselves, not too mention, look at all the true beauty all around you.

Look out into the horizon, it may seem endless at first glance, but as we grow and learn correctly along this journey, we find many horizons for us to explore. Whether your looking at a horizon from the top of a mountain, as you paddle a kayak along the river, or maybe sit along the sandy shoreline and staring into the ocean, the place we look into the horizon may be different, as each path we walk, but the horizon is all the same, just like this journey through life we all walk together. There are so many similarities all around us, but if we do not truly see them, then all will always be different, no matter how we look at them. When your path is full of bumps that will bruise you and leave a scar, it becomes all about how you get up from the fall, dust yourself off, heal the bruises correctly, so you than can move forward better then you were. Some may get right back up like nothing happened, while others either never get up, or take a very long time to get up, it is not about the time it takes you to get up, it is about how you get up from the fall, how you stay true to who you are, without hiding within yourself, and never really reaching your true potential.

There are so many little journeys within the even bigger journey we all walk, the key, is for us all to explore and find the right one that best fits us, then excel within that journey, so we can be truly of who we are, so when we walk our path we choose, we actually do the work of clearing that path of the obstructions, so we can move forward better and stronger, within the peace and happiness we all so need and deserve, as we walk through this journey of life.

GEDSC DIGITAL CAMERA

” This journey comes with many ups and downs that will knock you down and bruise you, which then makes it of how you pick yourself up and heal from the bruises of life”

” Just as you look deeply into the Abyss, look deeply into the horizon and ask yourself, of just how to get to that point and explore all that comes before you”

” Don’t be afraid”

Matthew 28:10

” Love the Lord your God with all your heart… and your neighbor as yourself”

Luke 10:27

Come my Shepard, let’s lead the Sheep to peace, happiness, and a good feast, but never shall we lead them astray, or into the great Abyss of the deep dark unknown. We all walk our paths through this journey of life, as the paths being different from one another, the journey is the same for us all, with the beginning and the ending being the same for us all, it is the middle part that our paths we chose will help define who we truly are. Now as we walk through this journey there will be much that will come to us, there is so much that we will encounter, we may get lost from time to time trying to find our way. The growth and the change that comes to us can, and will be over whelming, so over whelming they may have us lose our way? We not only grow on the outside with how tall or short we are, we also grow on the inside with our true feelings and emotions. We will also grow within a society of many to be better and stronger, but if we do not grow properly within the society, then we get left behind and ridiculed from all others. If we do not grow properly on the inside as well as the outside, then the change that will come is either going to be positive or negative.

Just like with faith there will be hope same goes for, when you grow properly, then the change that will come will be positive. anything or anyone will never escape change of any kind, it is part of this journey. Everything around us changes even we ourselves will change as we grow. We are not the same person from when we are born, till the day of our last breathe, the things we can do at a young age, we find we can’t do as we become older, and when we are older we are much wiser then when we are young. Our bodies will go through many changes on the exterior as well as the interior, which is why we need to grow properly, so we can accept any and all the change that will come to us, as we walk our paths of this journey through life.

Somewhere along this journey we all have become disconnected with each other, We think we are better than one another and that we are smarter than one another? Yes we are all unique to each other, but we are all very similar with all the same faculties and parts. True some may look different with their skin color, but in the eyes of God, we are all the same no matter who you are. Very true that we all serve a purpose as we walk this journey, just that the problem then is, some may find that purpose, while other’s wander aimlessly along their paths. Some because of other factors never truly live up to who they are, they get passed up and left behind, then the ones who passed them think now they are better and smarter? Some may learn faster as others, but this is no way to determine that you are better? We all learn at our own pace as we grow within the society, then as the change comes to us, we all then become wiser as we grow old.

Within this society we all live today, there are some who think they are better than us all, as they try to achieve all the power, control and greed over the rest of us. I have a news flash for you: Nobody is better than anyone, we are all similar and equal to each other, the only difference is, we are all unique to each other, and when we come together with this uniqueness, then we all can change and grow properly and be better and stronger moving forward. There is nothing we can not do when we grow properly and accept change with confidence, there is no one who is smarter or better then ourselves, only that we all learn at our own pace, and when we take care of that inner child within us properly, then we can not only grow properly on the exterior, we can also grow properly on the interior as well.

Not only do we grow and change as we walk our paths of this journey, there is the plant life, the wildlife, the sky, the bodies of water, mother nature, etc. Everything around us grows and changes as well. There is so much growth and change going on within the calendar year of the four seasons, it is hard to keep up with and at times take totally for granted, the death within the season of Fall of all the plant life, to the white Winter blanket of the cold winter months, then the re-birth of the Spring months, to the vibrancy of the Summer months, the change within the seasons is enough to very easily lose track of. From year to year as you venture out within mother nature, you can clearly see all the changes, one thing you may see one year, may not be the same the next year. Everything throughout this journey of life will go through change, which then leads to how we grow properly, so we can walk our paths in peace and happiness always.

” With faith there will be hope, through change there will be growth”

” The Shepard will lead the Sheep throughout their journey, but that does not mean the Sheep can not lead themselves or that we can not be the Shepard ”

The Division, reality or not…..

” Some may want to divide us to gain all the control of all that is around them, but when we stand in unity there will be no division”

After spending some time off the grid and meeting a few who were also out there off the grid within the wilderness, there is no division in this screwed up society, the only division comes to us from the far left liberal media and those on the far left of the party in denial, AKA………. The Democrats.

Life within the beauty of Mother Nature is the most perfect life there is, the peace, the serenity, and even when you become so stressed in your everyday daily grind, you step out within Mother Nature and the stress simply melts away, and you can actually feel it, like a huge weight being lifted off of your shoulders. With all this craziness around us and coming to us like bullets out of a machine gun by the far left liberal media, will make us totally forget everything else around us, will make us forget that there is true beauty out there, but the media don’t want us to see that, as they pull out all the stops to brainwash us and control everything around us. Then there is social media, something that we all have become addicted to, the addiction is the hook that all the big tech companies like twitter and facebook, will use to reel us all deeper into the ugliness and the hatred all around us.

Mother Nature is God’s country, God created this beauty so we all can enjoy it, the problem in this society is, we don’t get out enough to fully enjoy it. We get so engulfed with all the ugliness, corruption and the hate that is around us, we become afraid to step outside our comfort zones, that we neglect everything that Mother Nature has to offer. The beauty is so deep within the wilderness, it is like it never ends, every where you turn there is more beauty as far as the eye can see, the far left liberal media do not want us to see the beauty, as they will keep bombarding us with much hatred and ugliness.

True there are other animals around us, we become so afraid of them we then will not step outside within Mother Nature with them, but we tend to forget that, they have a home just like you and I, and we have to respect their home just as we want others to respect our home. Respect is a two way street and when you walk your path of this journey through life with a lack of respect, then Karma gets involved and you do not want to deal with Karma, as with Karma comes the saying, ” pay back is a B!@#$”. Some may think they are entitled to everything around them, but in reality you are only entitled to what you earn and if you do not earn that something, then you are entitled to nothing. Life is of what you make it and if you make it hard then life will be hard, in today’s society we have foregotten this, which because of the actions of some, is why we see all the hatred and ugliness that is around us today.

Camping off the grid is something we all should do from time to time, not only does it help you relax, and let the stress melt away from our souls, but it helps you get back to who you truly are, helps you get back in touch with all the good around you, and when you come across others out there and they all wave and say hello, it proves that we are all in unity walking this journey, and this journey is not at all like what the far left liberal media wants us to believe, or like what the party of denial wants us to believe in as well, we all may walk our own paths, but this journey through life is all the same, whether you are on the left, the right, or within the middle, and when we unite together is when we can walk in peace and be as happy as we can be, throughout this journey of life.

” The only division in this society comes from the far left liberal media with their twisted agendas”

” Mother Nature is a beauty we all take for granted and never experience it as we should”

Rest for the Weary

” Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest ‘

Matthew 11:28

Within this fast paced society of today, that is driven by greed and self righteousness, we do become very weary daily, how do you rest or re-charge your body? For some maybe load up on coffee for plenty of caffeine, maybe a mid day power nap? Or maybe even a weekend away? But these things are simply a temporary fix that passes quickly and the weariness returns, as the faith in Jesus Christ is what gives us the true rest deep within our souls, we just need to come to him, so we than can get the true rest our body needs.

With our daily routines comes frustration and chaos within the world around us as well, When we don’t get what we want, we become frustrated, when our jobs push us to our brink, we then become very weary which brings a whole host of chaos to our lives, when we become so tired from the stress, the chaos and the work from the push, we then will enter into burnout and if we do not handle the burnout correctly, we then will become bitter, have a wide variety of health problems, which then brings us much pain and hurt. Within the fast paced society we forget to truly heal ourselves in mind, body and soul, because we get so caught up in the chaos and our minds get lost within the clouds of our judgments, that we forget to take the time for ourselves, to regain the faith in ourselves and Jesus Christ. When we heal properly and when we get the proper rest we need, then not only can we walk freely of our paths on this journey of life, but we can also walk together with each other, without bringing hatred, chaos or ugliness to all that is around us.

We all will walk our own paths but the journey is the same, throughout this journey there will be many events that will tesgt us, there will be many who may cross our paths that will bring us much pain and hurt, as well as many that will come to us to help us when we need help the most, the problem then becomes we ourselves and when we do not be truthful to ourselves, how then can we be truthful with each other? The bigger picture of this is, not being truthful with ourselves, we then can never be truthful with Jesus Christ, which then becomes the number one reason why, we stop going within the house of God, to not just pray, but to hide deep within ourselves and not acknowledge of who we truly are. When we all come together in unity while being truthful of ourselves, with the faith of ourselves and Jesus Christ, then the love within our hearts will shine at it’s brightest, as all the hatred and ugliness disappears from all around us.

Rest is key for us all and not just resting from the work we put in from our jobs, but the rest that will help us heal from all our troubles, the rest that gives us spiritual healing deep within our soul. Getting out deep within Mother Nature and within her peace and serenity, will help us get the true rest we need, so we can heal within our mind, body and soul, from all that troubles us, so we than can move forward better and stronger. Some may want to vacation in an exotic place, with many others around and become stressed as they try to fit in everything in a short period of time, but thats not true rest, as it does nothing but add to the already tension within us. Step outside, step out deep within the woods of nature, listen to the peace and the sounds of nature, the birds singing their songs, the wind passing through the leaves of the tree, the water slapping against the shoreline, even a woodpecker pecking away at the tree. When you get out within Mother Nature and totally relax, you can feel the stress melt away from your body, kind of like a heavy weight being lifted off of your shoulders, spend a week out there and now you will recieve the proper healing within your mind, body and soul, plus you will also will trust yourself and while this takes place, learn to trust in Jesus Christ once again, as he led you to this special place, so you can truly heal as he wants you to. This is the biggest problem in this fast paced society, we don’t trust as we once did for whatever reason? We then hide deep within ourselves as we think we are protecting ourselves from any or further harm, but as the clouds then over come our judgments, we lose sight of who we truly are as we keep the foot on the gas and speed up further the pace throughout this journey, what do not realize is that while we bury deeper of who we truly are, our trust of each other gets buried as well. So as we move forward throughout this journey, we then hurt deeply each other and never show any love or empathy of each other. All this is on us the people of this society and all this can change if only we the people change our ways moving forward, as we walk our paths through this journey of life.

” Rest for the weary isn’t just falling asleep, it’s the healing of the mind, body and soul”

” The power of mother nature can change everything within it, just simply trust in her and the healing will begin”

The beautiful sights and sounds of Mother Nature

We of this society have become so engulfed for so long, on all the Rhetoric and hate around us, we have then lost total sight of all the true beauty that is around us. We have stopped walking any and all the paths of this journey, simply because we let all the fear from all the Rhetoric control who we truly are, we let some of these so-called leader’s lead us in the wrong direction, instead of we the people taking the lead when we need be, showing them that if they can not do the job, then step aside get out of the way and let another step in and do the job that you refuse to do, so we all can prosper and get back to truly walking our paths through this journey of life.

Within this society, the biggest thing we have wrong is, Church and State are supposed to be separate? But these so-called leaders are so engulfed in the Power, Control and the Greed, they think they are our God also? A State helps us thrive to be better as we walk our paths, while a Church helps us with our faith, so we then can have hope along the path and throughout this journey, when the two become one, that is when all the issues and troubles come to us all.

Jesus Christ didn’t come to us to divide us, he came to share his love with us, to bring us together so we can move forward better and stronger. We can all make a difference on this journey, but when we do it as we are now, then what difference are we really making when we are all divided? Jesus didn’t teach us this, it is totally on we the people and we are screwing it all up Royally, the difference has been going on for a long time now, just that through all the denial, the power hungriness, the greed, and the hate, this journey has stopped for us all, for no one knows totally of how to start it back up properly for the good of us all. The ones who do not care for their fellow man, are the ones responsible for all this ugliness and are the ones that need to be stopped in their tracks, held accountable for their actions, so we all can walk our paths with confidence and dignity throughout this journey of life. God didn’t put us here to be against each other, he wants us to unite together while showing our love in our hearts, with each other, with each step along our paths, throughout this journey of life.

 

” Don’t let the Rhetoric and the ugliness control who we are, let Mother Nature transform you to be better and stronger”

 

” This ugliness is on we the people, Jesus didn’t teach us this when he walked this journey here with us”

 

” A picture may be worth a thousand dollars, but our actions can and will last throughout a lifetime along this journey of life”
