“It’s funny at times at how you think all is going pretty well in your life..you’ll maybe say to yourself I’m doing okay..I think I got this love stuff down..and I think I have this attitude in check..and I think I have this mouth of mine in good condition..Amen..because you know your not as bad as you used to be..Amen..you don’t say and do things as you used to do them..Amen..you are alright..that’s what you may say to yourself..just as I say to myself..not in arrogant or boastful way..but in a quiet personal way to yourself..and of course the Lord..Amen..and sometimes I think to myself that when I do think this way and feel this way is the moment at which somehow I end up saying something..or acting in ways that I thought was gone..Amen..I mean and in this moment I think Lord you sure do have a wonderful sense of humor..because He alone knows our thoughts and He knows what were going to say before we even say a thing..Psalm 139:4..Amen!”

“Because as I say as soon as I think this way..is the moment I do something and I think wow, Mandi, get yourself together..Amen..what in the world was all of that emotion about?!..Amen..and maybe you as well are there at times in your life..as to where you think you are on track..your doing great..Amen..until that moment in time happens..and you begin to act ways and say things..that is not at all what you should be doing..and you may think the same thing..what in the world did I just do?..but guys I think sometimes we may slack in our prayer time..and maybe we just get to this place as to where we say were good..so we go on our merrily way..but you know the word says take heed least you think you stand because you very well could be falling..1 Corinthians 10:12..Amen..and when these moments happen in my life..I know very quickly that no I have not made it..AMEN..I mean speaking here of having it all together in my life..sometimes I wish I did..but I don’t and I know that I need the Lord to help me..but when this attitude happens..I think well the Lord is keeping me drawn to Him..Amen..it keeps me from getting to this place as to where I think I can handle it all and I don’t have to give it all to Jesus.”

“But you know we are still being made daily guys into His image..and we will continually be molded and made into the Lord’s image..Genesis 1:27/2 Corinthians 3:18..we never get there to the place as to where we made it so to speak in our lives..when it comes to growth..because daily let me remind us all that we have to pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24-26..Amen..and let us not forget that we still are living in a fallen world..and we are still in these earthly vessels..or should I say these sinful vessels..so we have to walk in the spirit of the Lord and scripture says that we won’t mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16..and we have to realize that as the song sings and as the songs says,..”He’s still workin’ on me..to make me what I need to be..It took him just a week to make the moon and stars..the sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars..how loving and patient He must be..’Cause He’s still workin’ on me!”..Amen..so don’t be discouraged in your life if you, yourself are there and you feel ashamed or disheartened that you have acted ways or said things that you wished you hadn’t..because were not perfect..but we should try to be as our Father in heaven is perfect..Matthew 5:48..but just know God loves us and is always workin’ on us to make us to be more like Him..we may fall we may mess up..but the word says that a righteous man may fall seven times but he rise again..Proverbs 24:16-18..Amen..so be kind to you and your life in which you live..and forgive yourself for the mishap or mishaps..and move on with the Lord holding His hand and following His still small voice..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
