“That little and cute bible fellowship class song that was sung and is still being sung to this very day that goes like this..”He’s still working on me..to make me what I outta be..it took Him just a week to make the moon and the stars..the sun and the earth..Jupiter and Mars..how loving and patient He must be..for He’s still working on me..Amen..and I can honestly say that the older I get the more He is working on me..Hallelujah..because it’s easy to put the face on so to speak..and walk the walk and talk the talk..but how many of ya know that the real test comes when you get tried just a little bit in your faith..in your patience..in your love walk..in it all really..Amen!”

“Because we can go for so long being a certain way or acting a certain way..and maybe I should say pretending that all is well and all is okay..until a situation arises..and a circumstance is presented..then and only then can you say whether or not you’ve passed the test..or you need to study a little bit more..Amen..because God is working on me and daily so..for I need my Father all the day long..helping me to stay the path..to not linger in left field..to not say things that I shouldn’t..to not respond in anger..even if it’s but for a moment..because we are to mature and grow in the Lord..and be moving in our lives always..in other words..moving forward with the Lord..not just being still and or being a reservoir..but moving in our lives..taking the heat at times when it is given..going through the refiners fire if needed..Malachi 3:1-6..being washed by the water and His word..being corrected and in that correction receiving it and changing in it..Amen!”

“For you see I always tell others that if you ever get to a place as to where you think you’ve made it so to speak..that you can simply cross your hands..and suppose that you are there..that you have achieved all there is to achieve for the Lord..than I am and I will be the very first to tell you that is not at all the case..because if any of us is doing a work for Jesus and we think that we don’t need to pray..or go to church or read our bibles..or sing praises to our Father..then there is a problem..Amen..because you see guys even that ole devil for forty days tempted the Lord Jesus..he leads Him to the wilderness to tempt our Father..Luke 4:1-2..so if you think that temptations..trails..struggles..hardships..and or troubles will not come knocking on your door..than you my friend are sadly mistaken..because they do and they will..but praise be to the Lord our God in whom gives us total victory of the enemy..2 Peter 1:3..Amen..and praise be to the Lord our God who has made us wiser than the enemy..Psalm 119:98..and who never stops teaching us and or helping us all in this thing we all call life..Amen!”

“So yes the Lord is still working on me..and I pray He is still working on you..and that through it all we receive the wisdom..we receive the correction..we receive the change..we simply say yes and we grow..we trust and we let go and let God..casting our every care on Him for He alone cares for us..1 Peter 5:7..for He says come unto me all ye who are weary and I will give you rest..take my yoke upon you and learn from me..for my yoke is easy and my burden is light..Matthew 11:29-30..Amen..so whatever you need this day from the Lord..whether it’s forgiveness..whether it’s His love..whether it’s His hands of provision..whether it’s His mercy..grace..freedom..I don’t really know..but what I do know is that God is not done with us..and that God has a plan and purpose for each of us and our lives for Him..so we trust the season were in..and we let go of who we are as we grab ahold of all that He alone is..as we grow and blossom into all that He desires for us to be..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
