Just a late night thought...

Sometimes words are not adequate to explain how you feel and what you're going through. Then you look at what you don't have in your life thinking it change it. The truth is that only true peace from God can comfort at these times no matter how you sugarcoat it. We all go through things no matter what we believe.

You Can't Change The Past...



... or people's response to it. Whatever you've done good or bad in now etched in time. What you can do is learn from it for the time you have ahead of you ready to be shaped by your choices and actions.


I've always tried to be truthful. I know my flaws. At times I have defended them well.
The worst times in my life is when I lied to myself. I thought I was telling the truth. In fact as far as I knew I was but my heart later revealed it was a lie.


It was like being exposed on Maury. People conform. I never have. I probably never will.
People really have no idea what God has really called me to do. The first person who knew correctly without me telling them is my current Pastor. I was shocked that it was correct and not an evaluation of what it appears I should be doing because of my talents.


Honestly I knew that this is the place where I begin to prepare. I am rough around the edges but now I'm really heading toward my purpose. Not the one everyone tries to tell me about but the one God showed me at the age of ten in a vision.

Psalms 23 (4 Translations)


(KJV)
1 THE LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name' sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house oF THE LORD for ever.

(GWT)
1 The LORD is my shepherd. I am never in need. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside peaceful waters. 3 He renews my soul. He guides me along the paths of righteousness for the sake of his name. 4 Even though I walk through the dark valley of death, because you are with me, I fear no harm. Your rod and your staff give me courage. 5 You prepare a banquet for me while my enemies watch. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. 6 Certainly, goodness and mercy will stay close to me all the days of my life, and I will remain in the LORD's house for days without end.

(Darby)
1 A Psalm of David. Jehovah is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou hast anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely, goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of Jehovah for the length of the days.

(Rotherham)
1 A Melody of David. Yahweh, is my shepherd—I shall not want: 2 In pastures of tender grass, he maketh me lie down, Unto restful waters, he leadeth me; 3 My life, he restoreth, He guideth me in right paths, for the sake of his Name. 4 Yea, though I walk through a valley death-shadowed, I will fear no harm, for, thou, art with me, Thy rod and thy staff, they, comfort me. 5 Thou spreadest before me a table, in face of mine adversaries, Thou hast anointed, with oil, my head, My cup, hath run over. 6Surely, goodness and lovingkindness, will pursue me, all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of Yahweh, evermore.
