Introvert Ramblings (Usually)

-

I am not a big communicator at all. I am quite the opposite. If I have nothing to say I "usually" don't say anything. I am very much an introvert and loner, but you could never tell that from my writings. I may have one friend or two I speak on the phone with...I have no one else really, I feel that I can freely to open up to and not sure why I am like that.

I could really beat myself up over it, everyone else does a good job of it for me, but I have come to realize what a waste of time that is... God has given me the gift of writing out my words. So, if it really bugs you, take it up with the big man upstairs...

I just put my headphones on and cut on my music that centers me on what GOD wants to say through me and I type away! I have four blogs that I write on.  and I just published my second short book of Christian Free verse prose.

It seems that I have many layers or built-up walls in my life, and I am not sure why I am like this. I have always been an unusually quiet person, I have to be really provoked or made to talk...I had a dream once and I talked throughout the whole dream...that freaked me out! 

I have spent many hours mulling over the fact that I don't have a vibrant personality.  I had to stop comparing myself to other people.  This is just the way I was made...I have to accept that God made me different.  I cannot condemn myself for being who God made me.   I am sure He has his purpose or meaning why He made me like this.

I do know one thing. I love Jesus more and more every day. I cannot get enough of the grace of His Presence upon my life surrounding me when I get on my laptop and write.  The words just come freely; I don't know why it's like that. I know how to talk and spend time with God...but it's  just very different for me.

I feel like this is the ministry God made for me right here. My prayer is that you may experience Jesus through my writings! I may never be a great poet or writer in the eyes of the world, I will not degrade myself by the perspective of humans. I was not made to be a man pleaser, I Long to be a GOD pleaser and to see things from His point of view!

This is my Five Minute Friday writing for the word "Usually." I usually tend to go over the five minutes. I really do have a lot to say for those who are willing to listen!

Maranatha,

    God made you the way you are,
    and He knew what grace to bring.
    In His eyes you are a star,
    so do not change a thing.
    For sure, do not be like me,
    a hooligan at heart,
    the kind you might see on TV,
    tearing a pub apart.
    I am rather short on wit,
    and shorter still on temper,
    but when it gets right down to it,
    God bids me to remember
    that as in joy He molded you,
    hungover, yes, He made me too.

    I get that! Well said. It's what God says you are to do that counts.

It’s not that Complicated

  There is nothing complicated about hell…in fact it is very easy to get there.    I can assure you it’s not one big party with lots of rock music and sex.  Who would want to actually feel hells torment without any grace, mercy or relief. I do not know about you but I do not wish to go there If you intend to take the easy street then by all means be prepared for continual weeping and gnashing of teeth and the torment of eternal fiery punishment. Hell is not a complicated choice!!  Who would want to go there?  I would never desire to go there willingly.   Jesus came to this earth he hung on that cross as a human being   He was God in the flesh. There is not  a whole lot of preaching these days about going hell…we need to hear more fiery sermons from pulpits on Sunday mornings!!! Unrepentant sinners.will all go to hell.  It’s high time we repented of all our sins, and ask God to forgive you of all sin. Sin is sin and Jesus desires us to be in the kingdom of heaven with him for all eterni

Someday

FiveMinuteFriday One day the time will come when we breathe our last breath and close our eyes one last time...There is nothing we can do to stop that.  It is just one fact of life we all have to deal with. Death is inevitable, it will happen we can be sure of that. We cannot avoid it. Someday that door will open, and we will close the door to this life we now live... Are you ready for that "someday?"  The fact is that we are not guaranteed tomorrow. we should at all costs live each day as if it was our last day. If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that tomorrow was your last day to live on this earth, how would you do things differently or would you be content with the life you have lived up until this point?   As for me, I have always had a belief that there is a heaven and a hell.  I had a born-again experience at the age of eighteen.   It was after a very convicting church service. I had grown up in that church and was going through all the motions; but something signi

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
