I have learned and daily I am still learning that every single thing that I ever face or will ever face in my life whether it’s bad or whether it’s good there is always a lesson that I am learning or that I need to learn…so through all of my lives lessons that I have received and get and get pretty much daily…I understand that I don’t think about what I would do…and I don’t try to figure it out..but I do is pray..and I pray immediately…when life hands me something that is kinda out of my hand..I pray and ask Jesus to give His daughter wisdom..because the Lord tells us in His word to ask of Him and that He would give it..James 1:5..Praise the Lord…and as well I understand that everything that ever does happen to me always passes by my Fathers eyes who is up in heaven..Psalm 33:13…so I try to slow down and get the lesson…and I try to see just what it is that the Lord is teaching me…because life truly is a test..and guys I have come to say to each of us today that we must pass the test before we move forward…and I don’t know about the rest of ya…I kinda feel like this song and the way it goes and maybe you all as well feel the same way…and that would be this…I’ve come to far to look back…my feet have walked through the valley’s…I’ve climbed mountains, crossed rivers, desert places I’ve known…but I’m nearing the home shore…the redeemed are rejoicing…heavens angels are singing…I’ve come to far to look back…Hallelujah…and how many of us honestly want to go back..and be that old person that we used to be?…be that old man in whom the Lord has done set free from all that bunch of mess…who in their right minds would ever turn around and go back…especially after ALL that Jesus has done for each of us…after all of them times He has seen us through..and after all of them times He has come through for us..how He kept us and has continually kept us, protected us, guided us, strengthened us, provided for us..and how He fights our battles…how He is a very present help in time of need.Psalm 46:1…how He is like none other…so today if your in a storm…if your in the rain…if your in the midst of something that you can’t really understand…I pray that you ask the Lord for His wisdom…and I pray that you listen and hear Him as He speaks to you..for He will guide you in the truth…for it is only the truth that sets us free…for being a christian isn’t always this walk in the park so to speak…because we all as well face things and go through things just as the nonbelievers do…but see the difference is we have Jesus…we have the hope of glory living on the inside of us…so we don’t go in ourselves whenever we are coming up against a giant that may be there in our life trying to distract or make us disarrayed..but we go to Jesus in battle for our battles are won upon our knees…for prayer changes things…and God knows all and God understands it all..and He as well will take care of our situations and our circumstances…so my prayer is that if your in a test…then by all means I pray each of us pass our test and we move on…for to move forward we have to grow..and we only grow and change through the lessons that we are taught…for let us not ever forget that without the test there is no testimony…and we all have lots of testimonies…and we use them to help others along the way in their lives encouraging them to go to Jesus for He alone is our firm and solid  foundation in which we build our lives upon…for scripture says this, that the winds and the waves may come and beat upon our homes but they will not fall for they are founded upon Jesus Christ our Lord…Matthew 7:25…so once again guys don’t let others pull you into their storms…but you pull others into your peace…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
