La Familia

La Familia

Having a La Familia is important. This is the bunch. It's a brand new month. And you know that church song that goes, "light of the world you stepped down into darkness." Today, reminded me that I am here at the perfect place for life.

I may not be where I think I should be. However, God pointed to the direction that I reluctantly am walking blindly. A great reminder today was. We were made to do life together and to pray aggressively (like you already obtained something).

I had two options today. I knew my HS reunion was coming up. I also knew I had to work. I was uncertain if la familia was going to meet up this week, but the time falls into the same day. The choice made was simple, unwavering and easy. La familia each time. HS reunion is once in a blue moon occasion. A distant memory blocked from the rougher years of life. Interested, but not enough maybe similar to lukewarm relationships.

Welcome now to La Familia...

Observations are mixed with, things I desire, things I want can grow, and places where I could have already been. Let's us begin with a couple couples. It breaks my heart because I deeply understand.

I have known them for many years now. Pre-dating the dating life. But first let's talk about prayer. All I know is that it's supposed to be an open communication with God. So freely you can vent, yell, scream, question, stay still and do anything but directed towards God. You are supposed to let spirit take control and be spirit-filled so it directly communicates with God. However, we are limited to our abilities and tend to let our soul/gut/intuition feeling be the guiding light. We are to pray aggressively because God already granted us things that we need to seek, ask and knock for.

However, we are constantly over loading all our senses with worldy things. Also that devil on your shoulder easily puts a mask on looking like a female but are they really a female? Okay let's not go that direction but I'm illustrating what I know.

If prayer is like open communication, yet in our daily lives with our human tendencies we aren't fully free. Does your other half really know everything. Are they able to display a love so strong that it's the agape version? Even the best communication majors and experts have to continually work on said skills. I personally tend to hold back on being an open book. Maybe it's the poker life instilled in me, past trauma, past hurt, future hurt or other mental blocks. Like I do not mind sharing a lot if need be, but usually the other party member only needs a portion of my skills.

If the party needs a healer I can step in and heal. If they need a tank I can guard the group or take charge like Leroyyy Jenkins. If a person distributes their skill points in all strength, but has no wisdom. Then they need to find the person with wisdom. I personally feel inadequate in many ways. However, my prayers have become even more bold through the days. And as I step forward each day. I am slowly covered by the people around me. I really cannot stop myself from liking anything if they are being themselves. And each time I feel the need to fix a problem. I told my overanalyzing self to just sit, be there, and take two deep breaths. I know the fix to many problems, but do not need to drop it on them like a bomb shell. Just do things gradually so it does not over burden someone.

Most people will read and skim through this without studying the words I choose over much deliberation. Which is cool I am trying to share a story and keep people engaged enough trying to hit all the points simultaneously.

It breaks my heart. Because I just recently saw something that gave that unique level up experience. The famous verse is about being unequally yoked. In a literal sense it's if ones stronger then the other it could provide road bumps along the way. Take two people heading thru the hiking trail. I tend to walk like I am on a mission. But my friend does not. Therefore one of us needs to match the other pace. This is true in relationships of believers. It's not saying the relationships cannot work. It is saying a relationship is at +5 engraving, max is +7, but equally yoked would put it at a +10.

So when I hear they want the other half to accept Jesus. You can say it hits a soft spot. I am here as the mediator (MBTI?).
