DON'T THINK

                       DON'T THINK 🤔 😕 😏 

I was out on a walk with a Dear, Friend of mine in Miami, Florida one morning. As we walked the circular trail, there was a couple we repetitively passed. They were vibrant; seemingly care-free. This infectious air they carried ushered us into a greeting. "You look so Good", my friend exclaimed once she found out the man's age; Somewhere around 60 something. He went on to talk about some of the things that he engages in to maintain himself. 

He then gave us this look...like, let me level with these people, kind of a look. "You really want to know what I do?"he asked. Yes! We replied eagerly. 

 I DON'T THINK!!! I Don't! 

He continued to explain why. 'The stress, the worry. So I've decided to just leave it all alone.' This man decided to live and let die!

Well, needless to say, we stood there, looking at one another like, HUH!??!

This story is REAL! 

I wasn't thinking about this event at all, but as I sat here writing a totally different entry, I was reminded of this. My thoughts took me on a mental merry-go-round just to show me a simile, make a point, and then wrap it all up in a nice bow. 🎀 

The other day, I sat with my Mentor, and he explained to me what The Kingdom of God is like as a citizen. You know what he said? Guess? Yes!!

WE DON'T THINK!!! 😮😝😮 

WoW! Ok. Alright. As I meditated and searched out his words, I dropped anchor in the Truth that The Kingdom of God is, indeed, FULL of Children and Fools! And I was being challenged to BECOME ONE; A Child and A Fool! Wrecklessly Trust and Foolishly Abandon!

I sat there feeling and watching My 'Self' fidget, and, in both an audible and silent expression, my uncomfortability, lack of understanding, and resistance began to manifest. "This is a Hard Teaching. Who can accept it?" I thought. (John 6:60-71)

So, if I'm not thinking, Who or What is doing it for me?

Don't think, Just Follow Me. (John 1:43) Don't pack anything. It'll be provided. (Luke 9:3) Don't say goodbye. Just come away with me. (Luke 9:61, 62) How many of us would? How many of us could? How many of us have?

Just Do It? Just done it?

We love the Nike slogan, Just Do It! and, we love their shoes, but how many of us Just Do...Follow Through when The King says, "To Choose." (Joshua 24:15) It (the choice) will defy you and all your wise

It will reveal you, The True that lives on the inside.

Are you BIG enough to BECOME Small?Wise enough to choose your own demise?

DON'T THINK, But DO COUNT! 

Count the Cost to Become NO Boss! A Fool and a Child. This is the inheritance, or should I say, the pre-requisite for Kingdom Entry, Kingdom Citizenship. How many of us can Truly, Truly say, Yes!? All the promises 'IN HIM' are Yes and Amen and to Become like a Child is one of them. He said, *'Unless you CHANGE and BECOME like little children, you will NEVER enter The Kingdom of Heaven.'* (Matthew 18:3)

We all want heaven, but how many of us, In Heart, live and walk daily in this promise requirement of The King? We like to name, claim, and take the promises of God that seem pleasing to our natural existence; that seems to be of some benefit to our natural lives in the now. 

Sadly, though, we, at times, ignorantly neglect and reject the proper application of His promises which results in the lack of prosperity to our very Souls. We 'think' we can vice verse His formula, but 'will a man rob God'? (Malachi 3:8) 

To think or not to think? This is the question. Jesus said 3 times, 'take no thought'. "I say unto you, Take no thought for your life , what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor for your body, what you will put on. Is not THE life more than meat and the body more than clothing? Therefore, take no thought for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. Take therefore no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow will take thought for itself. (Matthew 6:24-34)

So, what will we do? What should we do? I think we should follow instructions and he'll see us through. Don't Think. Just Obey. Become like Children and Follow The Way.

"But Seek First The Kingdom of God, and HIS Righteousness; and all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)

REPENTANCE = METANOIA = CHANGE

 REPENTANCE = Metanoia = CHANGE The way we’ve been created is with a built-in system of Metanoia. Metanoia is a Greek word that means to change one’s mind; to expand it in such a way as to have a new perspective on the world or one’s self.” (Mirriam-Webster) I never looked at Change/Repentance this way before. But as I was preparing to write this morning, that is the revelation that came to me. Mankind is always looking to Change, innovate, update, and improve. Even the very electronics we love so much and that are essential for the movements of our modern society, for optimal and optimum functionality, must be updated and is at times done without our permission. It’s just automatic!! Here's another interesting fact. Our social media platforms are referred to as Meta. “Meta” is derived from Metanoia. Remember, Metanoia means to change one’s mind; to expand it in such a way as to have a new perspective on the world and one’s self.” Their intention is “to build the future of...

SHIFT

Image
Today.  Beautiful Breeze blowing.  Evening settling upon us.  The day is cooling, preparing for the shift of the night sky.  I’m looking forward to it actually. Sunset, early evening is my favorite part of the day. Completion. That’s what this time of day signifies to me.  Another day completed, successfully.  Still in one piece.  Tired, yes!  Long day, Yes!  But I was able to experience it as were you and for THAT, I’m Grateful.  How about you? SHIFT. I want to talk a little bit about shifting.  Earlier in the week I was going through a mundane moment while scrolling on YouTube.  As I scrolled, I came across a video of someone that I watch from time to time.  In here video, she too was expressing how she’s been feeling.  “Soul Tired” is how she described how she felt.  I can ABSOLUTELY relate to her sentiments.  Tired, but oh so much more than just needing a nap. Needing more than words are able to expres...

Did God Really Say??

Approaching the end of the year and I don’t know about you, but it has been some kind of year! Although we give thanks in every situation, can we talk about it?  Today is November 27, 2025, 5:10pm.  It was a really long day for me; even though the days and nights seem shorter only because they seem like run on sentences these days.  This too shall pass.   I’m learning the realities of warfare and how much we encounter it sometimes even without our knowing.  For me, I’m thinking about how many times in my life I thought I was just having a bad day when really, now looking back at it, there was heavy warfare going on!! Sometime in our sojourn here on this earth, in this world, sticking and staying can be the hardest part. Sticking to a routine, staying grounded, sticking to the plan, staying focused, sticking to my goals, staying rooted in what, and who I believe.  These things affect our day to day whether we realize it or not.  More and more, I’...
