Does anyone else have a hard time remembering the lessons they have learned? This has gotten out of hand with me!!! I mean, that is why I write so many personal things in my journal, cause I want to remember the pain that I was in and how GOD brought me out through this lesson or that one. But, for the life of me, I still forget. I feel like Israel sometimes. You know how GOD kept forgiving them and forgiving them. He would punish them for their sin. HE would send a drought, some famine or an enemy to attack. And Israel would repent and turn back to HIM. They would beg for forgiveness and like the Father HE is...HE would restore them. And then...Israel would sin again.
As I read the Bible, I remember vividly thinking how crazy Israel was. Are you insane? How many times must you be punished to realize that you can't do that anymore? You have to live wholeheartedly for GOD! How many times must you forget? Yet and still, I do it daily. I forget every single day. Am I insane? How many times must I be punished to realize that I can't do that anymore? I have to live wholeheartedly for GOD! At least Israel had a few generations and different kings that would pass before they would go astray...nope...I stray every single day. Who is the crazy one? hahaha
I always have a new thing that I stay on for a couple of weeks and then I somehow forget it and find a new thing to latch on to. I want to remember all of the lessons and teachings that I have learned and apply them all at once. Wow. Wouldn't that be great? So, let's recap the past few months. I was on this kick of not letting anything disturb me. I was dusting things off my shoulder like Jay Z. It didn't last too long. I moved on to thinking positive...no negative thoughts. And you know the devil is the hardest working man in showbiz...so he sent a barrage of negative thoughts and times into my mind and they fell on me like Niagra Falls...I forgot that process as quickly as I learned it. Then I moved to speaking things that are not as though they were. This one was the bomb. I wrote a whole journal about the future and everything. Then I jumped on over to RUNNING AWAY train. I liked that one. Running away for Temptation. And now, my latest thing...my latest revelation...my latest joy...is knowing that the JOY of the LORD is my STRENGTH. This has kept me moving and shaking and baking the last few days.
I ain't gonna lie to you, I am going through a big ole' storm that is compiled of many things. I mean, it is raining, snowing, hailing, I think a tornado and a hurricane is going on, all while an earthqauke is happenning. It's been rougher than I ever remember. And I know people think I'm crazy, cause FACEBOOK came along in the middle of all of this and I am posting updates that are all personal and sad. I know folks are looking at me like, WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS GUY? I'm just going through it.
But, this latest thing, I feel I have to rememeber. I can't forget this one. I feel like I have just got to trust GOD. So many secular things I have tried to make me happy and they all have failed. I just need to shut up and realize the JOY OF THE LORD is MY STRENGTH. Look up to the sky, Poetri. Look up o the sky and smile. It is going to be alright. Halleluyah.
Okay, that is it. I had other topics to talk about...but, I don't want to add anything to this. You can't add anything to GOD's word. I want to come back and look at it and say...oh yea...this was what I was talking about. If I start throwing all these other thoughts and poems and promotions and stuff in here, then I will forget what the true meaning and purpose of this was...I need to remember this. FOREVER.
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Keep it Natural.
hahahaha. That is so funny. I just saw this. No one ever really comments on my journals. So, I just kinda stumbled upon on your comment. And I am gla I did. I guess it is never too late to get blessed. hahahahaha. Thank you and I will see you Sunday.
