“I know that many, many times in mine and Erik’s life as being a husband and wife that we have had many decisions that had to be made..Amen..and some were pretty easy to say the least and well..some were awfully hard ones that had to be made..and I’m not gonna lie even when we would choose an answer we still at times would have doubt..Amen..we still would question the Lord and the answer that we had made..praying earnestly that what we decided was really what He alone had wanted..and guys you know if you are following the Lord I do believe we all have them moments of fear and doubt..as to where we overthink our answers in life..we go through the same ole process again and again..but I have come this evening to remind each of you out there..myself included..that 1.) Gods ways are not our ways..Isaiah 55:8-9..Amen..2.) that God our Father has a plan for our lives and that plan is for our good..Jeremiah 29:11..Amen..3.) that scripture says that we may make our plans but it is the Lord that directs our footsteps..Proverbs 16:9..Amen..4.) that the Lord says His voice we will know and that the voice of a stranger we would not follow..John 10:5..Amen..so what I am going to say to each you and once again myself included is that God has always ordered our steps..Amen..and for Erik & I and our lives God has lead us each and every step of the way..even when we doubted..even when we were not sure..even when we questioned Him over and over..He still in His goodness directed us and guided us along lives pathway..and He has never, ever failed us or ever lead us the wrong way..Amen..so know that wherever you are this day is where the Lord has guided you personally..for we serve a great big God..and He is a good Father..and He loves us unconditionally..so my prayer is that we trust the unknown..we trust where we are..and we let go and let God have His way in our lives..knowing that He knows what’s best for each of us..so let us move forward..let us keep walking and climbing them mountains of our lives even if they are steep from time to time..knowing that God our Father will take us by the hand and give us the strength and endurance we need to keep on going..Amen..for we are blessed..and we are always being lead by that still small voice of our Fathers..for He has our best interest at heart..and maybe we can’t see it all just yet..but I promise you later on you and I will look back and see how Gods hand was in every part of everything that we had went through and that we alone had to endure..for He promises to never leave us nor ever forsake us..Deuteronomy 31:6/Hebrews 13:5-6..and we can always trust our Lord and Savior..so let us quit doubting all to well what we know already to do in our heart of hearts..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that 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
