Be anxious for nothing You see, I know and understand those words. I know understand what it says.
But Lord did you know that this happened just the other day, and what am I to do about that… I know be anxious for nothing, but this is not the nothing you had in mind, is it?
And I know you know you haven’t answered that prayer the one I have been praying for forever, I need to know, I must know, I need for you to show me… I know be anxious for nothing, but this is not the nothing you had in mind, is it?
And what about the future, so many things to decide ways to go, you have to see that this, this is something I must think on… But I know be anxious for nothing, but this is not the nothing you had in mind, is it?
Lord, I know you see what is going on in the world today, politics, the amount of people homeless, this is something THIS I need to worry about…. But I know be anxious for nothing, but this is not the nothing up had in mind, is it?
Be anxious for nothing. You see, I know and understand those words or do I?

I’ve decided that I want to do more than just read the Bible, I want work harder at living it. So I’m taking a verse a week, to work on living out.
LIVE WITHOUT COMPLAINING – “Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Philippians 2:14-15 NLT
LIVE IN PERSEVERANCE – Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (James 1:2-4 NIV)
LIVE WITH FAITH – “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 NIV
LIVE IN STRENGTH – “But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
LIVE AT PEACE – “If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.”Romans 12:18 NIV

#LivingOut52, bible, God, life, strength
Hello everyone it’s me Jb.
So last week it was ‘Live at Peace’, and so how did you do?? Did you put this into practice?
Well this week I had planned one verse and then I was reading something and saw this verse and felt that this needed to be the next one.
“But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:31
Live in Strength
Now this one is going to be a bit harder for me, because even though I usually have a lot of strength, I feel like I’m lacking in this department lately. Now I would like to blame it on the crazy Texas weather we are having right now and that it has me out of it, but I know it’s more than that. So now let’s look at this verse, but first lets take a look to the build up.
“He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.”But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:29-30 NLT
This shows us that this will happen to all of no matter how young we are. Because we are only human and we can’t go it on our own. But we want to, we want to find strength in ourselves and do things on our own because I can! But the truth is we can’t and we weren’t meant to. But if we trust in the Lord we will find new strength. That means that in our weakest moments we can trust in God and find our strength! But we don’t always do this like we should. And by we I mean me. I get this thought in my head that I can do this on my own. That I can do this in my own strength, but God is telling me and you. That we don’t have to – all we have to do is trust in him and he will give us strength. Because we CAN’T always do it on our own. And if you think you can, stop fooling yourself because somewhere in your life something is lacking whether it is relationships, health, or just your own well being. If you are just drawing on your own strength and think that you’ve got it all you have done is mastered the art of illusion to yourself.
Now hear me because I say it this with love. I say this because I’ve been guilty of this, but this is not a place you want to stay in. This is not the way you want your life to be. But it’s hard to think we aren’t strong enough, but news flash we aren’t. So let’s draw on His strength.
So we will add strength, to our list. As we Live at Peace and now in Strength. This is going to be a hard one to add, but we can do this. If during this process you have a story of how living out these verses have changed something in your life, send me a message or comment in the notes. I would love to hear your story. So now let’s practice living in Strength. See you next week.

inJust sit still and smile. Smile, but don’t smile too much, too much smiling isn’t acceptable, is it?
Just nod, just nod as they talk to you, but what are you nodding to. What did they just say, and what did you response?
Just pretend, pretend like you know them. ‘Yes I remember you, I saw you once when I was a year old, but of course I do.’ This makes them happy and that is something you can give.
Just look sad, this is something you can do, because he is no longer here, and You don’t know your plan or purpose here with these people you don’t know.
Just try not to lose it, don’t stand up and yell at all the people talking about this man. This man that wasnt there for you, but they think he was the greatest man alive and you don’t recognize this person they talk about.
Just look forward, when the people around you begin to whisper. Remember, this you are use to, this has happen to you many times before. So just look forward instead of screaming at them. ‘Yes, I am real, I was born, I had no choice and if you want to know the birth order just ask I will tell because I have no shame.’ You haven’t done anything to be ashamed of, all You did was breathe.
So Just Breathe, for as long as you can, breathe and serve your purpose. His time to breathe is over, but you have to continue, you have to figure out this strange new path of emotions, of things that you didn’t think would hurt so much, but they do they hurt, they hit you at the wrong moments they make you think of so many things. Things that will never be, things that you were ok with when he was still breathing but now the lost of breathe has changed things. Things that were ok, now don’t feel ok. Now they feel wrong so now you do what you know to do you just breathe. You take it day by day, you make your list you follow your list. You remember to eat, check off your list, you cry when you need to, but you keep going you breathe, you just breathe.

There is only one thing certain in life, we will all die. This is the only thing we know for sure. It will happen, no one lives forever. So why does this surprise us? This is the thing that almost takes the breathe away of those still living.
I knew this was happening over a year ago God softly whispered it in my ear and I accepted what I already knew. That we all die, but that his time was coming in the near future. I didn’t feel much, he was never there, and as time went on a reconnection was made, not part of my plan. But as we know God has his own plan. So I began to talk to the Man that should know me better than any other man, to discover he knew nothing, but slowly found out I had some things in common with this stranger. Because this stranger was a part of me, there were things I got from him that I didn’t even know. And even though I can count on my hands how many times I’ve seen him in my life, he is a part of me, like it or not. There was a whole other life he had with children that he cared for and were there for, but that wasn’t my story.
I got past the hurt and the angry many years ago, but the disappointment will probably always be there. Because it would have been nice to have more to remember him by than just some phone calls over the last few months. That’s all I have and that’s all I plan to hold on to. All small as it is, I will hold on to that. To him asking me my favorite color because he didn’t know what else to ask. You see we all die, we will all pass on, but as the living we get to decide what we hold on to. Do we hold on to the pain? Do we hold on to the missed opportunities? Do we hold on to the anger? Or do we hold on to the good stuff, even if it was only some phone calls? I always want to choose the good, I always want to choose what is best for my soul while I’m here on earth. Because we all die, we can’t change it, we can’t stop it, we can’t buy our way out of it. So do what you can to change what you can… your outlook.
I honestly didn’t think I would miss him, but I do. Only a few months of memories, but I miss him. I pray that when he passed on that he had peace with the fact that even though it was later we tried, WE tried. I pray that in his last months I gave him what he needed from me. I pray that he is now in heaven praising God and that one day I will see him again. And I pray for anyone who has lost someone and the relationship wasn’t the best at the time they passed on. I pray you choose the good, I pray you let go of anything else, because that other junk it doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever they did, didn’t do, said, didn’t say, it doesn’t matter, you are still here and you have to go on and you have to choose.
I didn’t get everything I wanted in those last conversations, but I got what I needed something GOOD to hold on to, and really that good enough for me.
