“So in our front yard we have this beautiful peonies that the previous owner had planted..and so every year we forget that they’re planted in between our crepe myrtles..so we end up cutting them down with our riding mower..and of course they every year seem to always grow back..because they haven’t been dug up by the roots..so they continue to grow..even though they’ve been cut completely chopped up and cut down on the tops..but it always gets me to thinking about our own lives and at how things grow and take root in us..things that have been there maybe for years on end..but we always just seem to cut the tops off when dealing with these issues..other than getting our hands dirty and digging up them things that should not be there in our lives any longer..especially since becoming a child of God..Amen..so instead of praying about these things..and actually taking control over them..we just pull them up or cut them down..or simply over look them..thinking that in our minds that somehow they’ll go away if we just do that..over time any ways..Amen!”

“But guys how many of ya know that they don’t go away these problems we have..these things that have been rooted in us..they kinda stay there until we get really serious about them..and pray to the Lord about them..1 Thessalonians 5:16-18..and get in God’s word about them and speak the scripture over these things..because God’s word is ever so powerful and it cuts sharper then any two edged sword..Hebrews 4:12..it goes forth and it will accomplish what it was sent forth to accomplish..and as well it takes determination on our parts to take care of these things..it takes persistence and daily so..praying about these things..and little by little with every act of obedience..freedom will come from these things..and those bitter roots will be gone..Amen..so don’t over look issues you may have that only you and Jesus know about..but take them seriously and get to doing your part..and the Lord will step in and do what you can’t..for freedom is where we want to be..in every aspect and in every area of our lives..for freedom is the most beautiful thing that any of us can ever achieve in all of our lives..for it is for freedom that we are free..so let us be free..let us be whole and let us be complete in the Lord and all of who He alone has made us to be..Amen..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
