“For so many of us..we really and truly back away from things that honestly make us happy..all because someone may give an opinion..which may result in a lot of reasons why you shouldn’t..or all of the reasons why it would not be good..considering their experiences..or maybe the experiences of others that may have done something similar..or even the very same thing..so with all of that negativity from others..somehow the things or thing that we ourselves where wanting to do..we pretty much back away from it..even though those things or thing is something that excites us..and makes us happy..we place holds on those things..or we begin ourselves to maybe consider what they’ve said and somehow we talk ourselves right out of that very thing that makes us happy..could be something as simple as moving to the lake..or building a log home..maybe moving to the beach..going on a missions trip..taking a cruise..or even having some chickens in your yard..or maybe even a pig..who knows..but somehow when you begin to tell others about your dreams..they begin to talk down that dream..and tell you every reason why it wouldn’t be a good idea..and so when those words are being spoken we begin to hear them and we begin to start thinking about those things they’ve said and in the midst of all of our thinking and their words we talk ourselves right out of that very thing that really excites us in our lives..and isn’t that honestly so sad..I know many times in my own life I have stopped many things I was wanting to do..all from those words spoken by someone else..and in doing so missing out on those things that make my heart happy..see the point of it all is simply this..we all have different lives to live..Amen..and no one is going to feel the same way about the things you are ever so passionate about..and you know that’s okay..because the Lord made us all different..we all have different ideas..different things that ignite our souls to much happiness..but guys please be careful with your dream..and be careful not to listen to others and their negativity..because words are powerful..the bible says that death and life are in the power of our tongues and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof..Proverbs 18:21..so know your heart..know what you like..and go after that..and do that..whatever that may be..cause considering that we all have one little life to live..and God is the one whom gives us these ideas and things that make us happy..so go for the happy in your life..and do whatever it is that makes you that..and go wherever it is your desiring or wanting to go..don’t let others and their bad experiences stop you from them ideas..them dreams..them places..because happiness comes to us in many ways..and whatever that happiness is for you..my heart and my prayer is that you go for it..don’t let fear..don’t let people..and don’t let your circumstances or situations hold you back..so cast down every negative word that’s been spoken to you and spoken over you nad your life..2 Corinthians 10:5-7..and listen to Jesus and His still voice speaking to you..for we can do whatever it is that we put our minds to..and we can go wherever it is that were wanting to go if we place feet to them..for our dreams and our happiness is two things in life we never want to place in the hands of others..by giving them the power to control..or manipulate our feelings and wants..and our dreams for our lives..for life is short..so live it well..live it free..and live it with happiness..and doing and having whatever that is that brings you happiness..for you see joy is a great thing..and joy especially the joy of the Lord it is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..and those things that we do..those places we like are all gifts and desires once again from our Father..and we have free will to choose to go and to be whatever it is that we’re wanting to be..and to live wherever it is were wanting to live..and to have whatever it is were wanting to have..so choose happiness..and go for it..whatever that happiness may be or look like for you..for it is in His sweet and holy 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
