Obstacles it seems are constantly getting thrown in all of our ways..it’s as if we get through one course and off to another we go..it’s as if we get up from one thing that has knocked us down to only in return be faced with something else that tries to bring us down and or get us down…are lives are forever and always going to be an obstacle in which case we ourselves choose to make it through it..and only we ourselves get to choose whether or not we will get through it..and for some they choose not to get through…they choose to rather give up in the course other than finish the course that has been set before them…for life is like a huge maze…and sometimes we are going along and all is well in our worlds and in our lives…but then we may hit a curve or a sharp turn..in which case that may be unexpected…and so at that moment what is it that we do?…do we panic?…do we get overwhelmed by it?…do we focus on the fact as to why did we take that way..or go that way…do we say to ourselves if only we had gone the other way?…what is it that we do when life suddenly happens and them unexpected things occur in our worlds and in our sweet yet so peaceful lives that we all strive to live in?…well, for one we always know that the bible says that the steps of a righteous man are ordered of the Lord..Psalm 37:23..so we know that wherever it is that we are in our walks that is the place that we should be at that moment..and as well I pray we remember and always choose to remember that nothing that happens to us is ever dimmed from the Lords eyes for He knows exactly the place as to where each of us are in our lives..so do we panic?…do we get frustrated and or get overwhelmed?..no, we don’t…but we at that moment when them suddenly’s happen and them moments of unexpectancy occurs we at that moment stay and keep ourselves in peace…and we at that moment trust the Lord and we trust the Lord in a huge, big way…for life is always going to happen guys..and it happens for us all..and it is constantly happening…we all deal with things..and we all are going through many things..but as well we choose to know and we choose to trust in the Lord for our lives..so we rest in Him..and we wait on Him..and we forever stay looking upward and living and breathing the word of God…so when these things happen, just tell yourself that this too shall pass..and that this world is not your home, remind yourself that you are just passing through..and remind yourself that Jesus works it all together for your good..Romans 8:28..so we do get through these obstacle courses…we make it because we know that we can do all things through Christ which gives us the strength..Philippians 4:13…the word says this to us..Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God…Hebrews 12:1-2…so just know guys we are in it to win it…we aren’t quitters..we aren’t complainers..and we aren’t murmurers..but we are children of the most high God..and Jesus Christ is His name…so we don’t let distractions get us distracted…life may happen..but whatever happens we get up and we keep on going and moving forward…whatever happens we don’t let it get ahold of us and or cripple us as to not living the life that the Lord died that we all could and should be living, which is an abundant life…John 10:10..Praise the Lord..but we keep on keeping on..never to quit and never to back away…for we are soldiers in the army of the Lord..we are Mighty men and women of God..and God needs us to be everything He so desires for us to be..so once again when we do our parts God always does His…so let us grow..and let us move forward..finishing the race that has been set before us…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
