Funky Writing and Uplifted Encouragements...

I am never fond of writing funk's...or funky writings...


I cannot stand when the words that are constantly flowing around inside my head suddenly become plugged up like a person in need of prune juice....I need some prune juice for the mind I tell you. It's not that I don't have anything to say, but I always want to be intentional with what and when I say anything at all. I guess I haven't wanted to write in a journal'd thoughts kind of style and ended up writing nothing. I have been in a place of HUGE observation of myself. Again, I experienced a time of squeezing and looking in the mirror. It seemed to be my turn in to the Dr.'s Office. This Doctor....Jesus mainly...specializes in Christina's...Me mainly....LOL! Yeah, He knows all about the way my body works, the way my brain thinks, the way my emotions run rampant or stuff down deep inside. HE KNOWS!!! So I go to Him quite often, even more than quite often at times. He helps me sort out the mess inside of me. My organs all seem to be okay. It is mostly in regards to the um other stuff...the indecisive hindrances that cloud me like a thick chocking fog. He helps clear that fog and finds me hiding somewhere inside of me. 


Did I mention how grateful I am that He does this for me? Well I am. I think, No I know, if I didn't have Him to help me I'd have lost it a long time ago. For awhile in my life I didn't even know He was there in this way, but as I got older and sharpened my hearing skills, His voice become so dominantly clear. 


I don't always get every answer laid out for me, but EVERY time I go to Him, I feel tons better...tons lighter too...nothing like a good unplugging to brighten the heaviness of your day into a shining, gleaming, refresh!


I have shared this scripture before, but it has been on my mind to share again...whenever I need an uplifting reminder, the book of Philippians is the place for me. It gave me strength in dark times and still continues to shine bright in my life now...


The Amplified Version says this:


Philippians 3:10-14
"[For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that i may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] 11That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body]. 12Not that I have now attained [this ideal], or have already been made perfect, but I press on to lay hold of (grasp) and make my own, that for which Christ Jesus (the Messiah) has laid hold of me and made me His own. 13I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]; forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward."
