For the most part what I’ve learned so far in life is that the only person in whom you can control and the only person you should control is yourself..for you see we can’t control what others do or what others say…we can’t control what is happening around us..we can’t control the way things go in life..and we can’t make others live or act certain ways..but we should and we can always keep ourselves together..we should always control the person in whom we are..we should never let the situations and or circumstances that are happening around us dictate or control our lives..changing us into someone were not..for you see if we let what is happening around us effect us then we will constantly be up and down in life..we will be so full of emotions that it honestly would be unreal..but we are to maintain through it all..we are to pray and give it all to the Lord..for people are the worst when it comes to trying to get at ya..people with their gestures..with their opinions and so forth are always being said..but we are not the scripture says to be hot or cold, up and down, round and round in other words..Revelation 3:16…we are to be steadfast unmovable and as the word says always to be abounding in the work the Lord..1 Corinthians 15:58..we are to be joyful at all times..we should always keep our joy, for the joy of the Lord is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..and we should always stay focused more on Christ Jesus and who is other then people and who they are..for when we take our eyes off from what is important in life..thats when we begin to get disgraced by the distractions..but let us maintain guys in whom the Lord would have for us to be..don’t get caught up in others and their drama..and their gossip..or their lies..for ya know a lie is the worst ever..for with one lie there is always more to follow..and they stack up pretty quickly when people begin to tell lies..but either way..work on you..not your neighbor..not your friends..not your family..but you..let us all work on who we need to be for Jesus..for once again I will say to us all that working on who we are is an all day project..so let us be better then who we was yesterday..and let us live pleasing Jesus..living and walking for Him..staying focused on Him..and keeping our eyes always on Him..for I will say that this life isn’t anything to do with us..but it is everything to do with the Lord..so please Him in what you say behind them closed doors…with what you say in your mind..with what you speak within yourself..please the Lord and ask Him to help you be better..and renew in you a clean and pure heart and a right mind..Psalm 51:10..because it’s not what others see that matters but it’s what God sees and what God knows that is what matters and matters greatly..so let us be better with us..for when we get better, we do better with others..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
