“Well, guys if you haven’t paid much attention we are already moving into our second week of the year..and somehow even that seems a little unreal to me at how quickly the time flies by..I remember being little and my mom would always say to me, Mandi the older you get the quicker it goes..Amen..and boy oh boy if she wasn’t right about that..but today I was thinking about how we set these so-called goals or maybe achievements at the beginning of every year..you know we all call them New Year’s resolutions..and at how pretty much about now I would say most have already stopped that resolution so to speak..or have gotten tired of it or whatever the case may be..but I was thinking of some that would be realistic ones to set in life..and I thought about maybe setting that goal of being faithful in tithing unto the Lord..or being kind and talking kind to your spouse or your significant other..Amen..or how about spending more time with your family and friends..or maybe choosing to even once or twice a week cooking a home cooked meal for your family..could even be something as far as choosing to get up every morning and reading one verse out of your bible..could be getting more involved in your local church..or being neighborly to your neighbors..maybe could be something as not gossiping or complaining as much as we can do sometimes..for to me those are them realistic ones..because guys if we don’t begin creating the life it is that were wanting to live or the life were desiring to live..then guess what it never will happen..for you see the things we do and the choices we make today always creates our tomorrows..so we must put feet to our words..and we must put actions right there along with them..for scripture says that faith without works is dead..James 2:26..Amen..and to make a difference and to have them things that you’re wanting you must do them..Amen..we can’t think or just simply imagine..because it’ll stay right there at being and remaining the same..everything in our lives will..but when actions follow then results will happen..so if your wanting more family time then most definitely make that time..if your wanting to do better and be more involved for Jesus and His people..then get involved..other than merely sitting there on the sidelines gets nothing accomplished and nothing at all done..so let us be about our Fathers business..Luke 2:49..and let us do them things that are realistic ones..rather than merely dream and hope things change..let us begin making them changes..and the changes will begin and will happen once you and I begin to make them happen..Amen..so get busy spending time with your loved ones..get busy doing them things that you’ve always dreamed of..and be motivated to renew your mind..Romans 12:2..and grow this year in the Lord by them choices and by them decisions it is that you yourself are choosing to make..Amen..for once again guys..life is way to short to be anything but happy..and life without growth is stagnant..for the Lord never intended for us to be on them sidelines waiting..but He most definitely wants us all to be in the game of life..living it to the utmost being the very best we can for Him and Him alone..knowing that we all have one life to live..so my prayer and my heart is that we live it well..and by living it well by them things that we are choosing to do..Amen..so don’t put off for tomorrow them things that you can and should be doing today..Amen..so make a great life guys..choose to live it to the best of your ability..and whatever you do have no regrets about them things that you choose to do and daily do whatever in the world them things may be..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
