I have no desire to wish my life away, or to wish certain things in my life hadn’t taken place or for that matter even happened…cause everything that this ole girl has been through has made me into the person I am today…no a lot of things weren’t all that pretty…and no a lot of them things weren’t all that easy either….but as I said they made me and molded me into the person I am today…and as well my life, just as your life, is molding you and making you into the person in whom God would have for you to be….see nothing happens to any of us without the Lords consent….everything that we go through is for a reason…and everything we go through has to pass by our Fathers eyes..Job 1:1-12….see God knows before anything ever happens, to any of us…God knows what it takes to get our attention in life…but the biggest thing of all of everything that we face or go through is the fact that were still trusting Jesus…through everything…see it’s not people in whom we need to run to when all is falling apart…but it’s God in whom we need to go….and whom we need to stay with at all times…see as scripture reads and as scripture says….when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I…for it says that God has been a shelter for me..and a strong tower from the enemy…Psalm 61:1-2…see it’s all about our relationship with God…and knowing Him…and trusting Him…for we have to trust Him at all times…we have to understand that ye though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we will fear no evil for the Lord is with us, His rod and His staff they comfort us, He prepares a table before us in the presence our enemies, and He anoints our heads with oil, our cups do run over…see surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever….Psalm 23…we gotta know God…when all of everything is falling down around us…we gotta understand that Jesus is our hiding place..Psalm 32:7…He is our refuge and our strength…Psalm 46:1..He is our help in time of need….He is there…He covers us…He protects us..and He alone is able to do anything…so we gotta understand that life is gonna throw us curve balls…that all isn’t always gonna be peaches and cream so to speak…that adversity will come to our lives…but as well…we know where our help comes from…for we will lift up our eyes unto the hills from whence cometh our help for our help comes from the Lord the Maker of heaven and earth..Psalm 121:1-2…see we gotta know that as children of the Lord, we are to walk by faith and not sight..2 Corinthians 5:7…that we call those things that be not as though they were..Romans 4:17…that we look at all times through our spiritual eyes…not with them natural ones…cause God is in the midst of those impossible situations…God is in the midst of the problems…and God is in the midst of the storms…of the sickness..those heartaches and those pains…God Almighty is right there for He will never leave us nor will He ever forsake us..Deuteronomy 31:6….for He is all that we need..any and everything we will ever need….so know Him…don’t just know about Him…but personally you, yourself get to know our Father….talk to Him…worship Him…and love Him….for He can do anything, anytime, anywhere the He chooses….so let go of who you are and what you think….and grab ahold of the Lord for His ways and His thoughts are not like ours…for His ways and His thoughts are much higher..Isaiah 55:9…God doesn’t do things the way we do them…we may think one thing…but God is thinking something totally different…so be open to whatever it is that the Lord is wanting from you…let go of your life…and reach out and grab the life that is intended for you to be living…the one that God has written in His plans…for His plans are perfect…and whether they make sense or not….really doesn’t matter…just as long as Gods is in them, than everything is gonna be okay….for we serve an Awesome God…and He is a faithful one…for He says in His word, For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, thoughts of peace and not evil, thoughts to give you an expected end…Jeremiah 29:11…Oh, let us praise His name…for He says whosever will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me..Matthew 16:24…and I pray we’re all following the leading and the guiding of the holy spirit in our lives…for there’s no life outside of the life that God almighty has prepared for me and for you…In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray! Amen and Amen!!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
