“So for all that know me, know all too well, that I am not the one to ever sit down..even while watching a movie..I still think of something that I need to finish up in my home..or something I need to write down to remember..and I must get these things completed..or it honestly drives me crazy..just a little..joking of course..but anyway..I have been extremely busy since this COVID-19 has came around..at home and at work..but not only me..Erik and Anthony as well..my husband and son..but for them they’re smart enough to sit down and rest a minute..give their body a break..and me well I don’t do that..I get this from my mommy..she as well is the same way..she now has gotten better..she knows and has learned that she has to rest for a minute..that our bodies need it..Amen..but anyways..yesterday while at work..I began to feel really bad..a terrible headache hit me from out of know where..my eyes begin to bother me and the next thing I know my vision is blurry and I’ve got lines running everywhere..so I had to call Erik to come get me from work..and I hate having to leave work..I do not like not being able too finish up my shift or my tasks that belong to me..Amen!”

“But this morning I do know that the Lord is always teaching us something in the midst of everything..and firstly I have to learn that I am getting older and that I do need to rest some..Amen..but as well I am learning that physically speaking here that I am failing..and failing big time..and that is no good whatsoever..Amen..because spiritually speaking I love on Jesus all the day long..all day I sing praises and I pray and talk with the Lord..for He alone is my everything..Praise His name..but when it comes to me and rest..that is something that is super hard..but I need to get balance in my life..and I am figuring out how to do just this..Amen..and maybe this morning you as well are this person..that you just go and go..never taking time for you..or never taking time to rest and be still..and just enjoy your life..your blessings that God has given..because guys we all need to be well..yes, spiritually speaking..but as well physically speaking here and mentally speaking..for I can say that if we aren’t right with us and our lives and our bodies..than we can’t be right with others..we can’t be as productive as we should be..Amen!”

“So this is my final thoughts for us all..let us help ourselves to find balance in our lives with the help of the Holy spirit of God..let us find rest for our bodies..and our minds..letting them be still from life..for yes we live here in this world..and we work hard..and we do have to take care of things..but as well let us never forget that we have to take care of our bodies..for the scripture says to us all know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy ghost of God..1 Corinthians 6:19..Amen..and that we are to cherish these gifts..and our bodies are gifts from the Father to be used for Him and His glory..and when we rush..and we do and do..and do maybe some more..we miss life..we miss plans..we miss maybe the Lord trying to speak to us in ways that we could hear if only we were still before Him in our hearts and minds..for just a moment..Amen..so hopefully we make time to get the balance we need..to take care of ourselves..and to find it in a good way..for not only us but as well for our families and our friends..for the most part what everyone in my life hears from me..is this..”I don’t have anytime..I am busy!”..and when I say this..I am speaking truth to them..even for just a moment on the phone is a hard task for me..because I haven’t finished up my to do list that me, myself and I have given for the day..so I do know that God gives us grace daily to do what He has called for us to do..my prayer is that we let go of excess and we let go of the things we can do tomorrow and that we take care of the things that are most important first..and then take care of the rest..missing nothing in life..but living it and enjoying it and daily so..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
