“The lady at the book store!”

So yesterday when we all stopped in Groom, Texas at the Largest Cross…we had went into the bible book store there at the site, and this older lady was working there all by herself..and she tells Erik, that there is a movie playing in the theater if we all would like to see it she would go and restart it for us…so anyways you have to leave out of the book store to go over into the theater…so we tell her that would be wonderful..and she takes us right on over into the theater..and starts the movie..she was the calmest person I do believe that we had ever met before in our lives…there were people walking around outside looking at the statues of our Lord Jesus getting ready to go to Calvary to be crucified…they are life size and it’s so real and so peaceful there…and as well there were people inside of the book store….but that didn’t concern that lady at all…she went on about her business…she was cleaning…walking outside to water her flowers with her little watering pot…and labeling things inside of the store…and we all were thinking to ourselves…that little lady is here all alone..and she isn’t the least a bit concerned about it…she isn’t afraid…she isn’t being nervous or upset…she is just going right along doing them things that she has to do daily…so Erik and Anthony pretty much at the same time says, now that right there is what you call “FAITH”….because she knows that her days are already numbered..Job 14:5…she knows that her Lord and Savior is with her…and she knows that God promises to never leave her nor ever forsake her..Deuteronomy 31:8..so as far as she’s concerned she isn’t alone..which of course as well all know that none of us are ever alone..but that lady she was focused on the Lord doing her Fathers business…knowing that God is a very represent help in time of need..Psalm 46:1…and knowing that God is control of it all…so guys it really encourages your heart…when you see a little lady such as herself…at peace…and I mean at peace with it all…and content…that is such a beautiful thing to witness…for she isn’t concerned with her surroundings because she knows who holds her surroundings…and she is isn’t concerned about the people…because she knows whom made those people…see I like to say it this way…Our God can do anything…anywhere and anytime that He alone chooses…so when we get there to that kind of faith as that lady has…boy, Oh boy…we all will surely be a force to be reckoned with….for the Lord has given unto each of us a measure of faith..Romans 12:3…and it’s up to each of us to exercise that faith…and we all exercise it by trusting in our Lord at all times…going by faith and not sight..2 Corinthians 5:7..in turn it makes us to grow in our faith…and it makes us understand that faith is what moves them mountains in our lives…for the Lord says that if we have faith as a grain of a mustard seed…we can speak to our mountain and tell it to be removed, and it would remove…and that nothing shall be impossible for us..Matthew 17:20….Hallelujah…for all things are possible to them that believe…so we all will say once again..Lord we believe..Lord we believe…all things are possible…Lord, we believe…fpr let us all understand where our help and our strength comes from…just as that little lady did..and just as that little does…In Jesus’ name!..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
