“When days are not so great and all is not so well..then on days like that..that is when you must encourage yourself in the Lord..1 Samuel 30:6..that is when you have to put on the armor of God..Ephesians 6:10-18..and that is when you take your attention and all of your thoughts and focus them on the goodness of the Lord in your life..and all that He has done for you..Amen..for we can’t control life..we can’t control others..we can’t stop the bad from happening..we can’t stop those things..but we can help ourselves in the midst of it..Amen..and we do what Gods word tells us..we think about good things..because again how many of ya know that where our minds go the man so to speak follows..in other words what you focus on is the outcome you are gonna get..Amen..so we shake off everything that the enemy tries to bring our way..we shake off the doubt..the negative thinking..we just put on the joy of the Lord..because it is our strength..Nehemiah 8:10..Praise the Lord!”

“And we stay abounding in His presence..and we stay focused on His goodness as I say..and we enjoy this day..and we know that we know that regardless of any of it..that God loves us..and that God is for us..and that God always works it together for our good..even when we can’t see..even when we don’t know the whys or the reasoning..or the questions that we have that are not being answered in the way we want them to be..Amen..we still know that God is alive and well..and that God never slumbers nor ever does He sleep..His eyes are always watching us..Psalm 121:2-4..so we go in confidence with Jesus..we walk hand in hand with Him..and we let the Lord take care of the problems and the situations and whatever it is that is bothering us or upsetting us..we pray..we trust..we get up from the alter and we leave it all there in His hands..Matthew 11:28-29..and as we do we get up knowing that He is working..Praise His name..so this life is but one..and it is meant to be lived to the fullest and enjoyed along the way..and we ourselves do this by choosing to see Gods goodness in it all..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
