“I know that everyone always speaks of the good ole days and at how wonderful it used to be..and how church was so on fire..that anointing and preaching..and the singing was like none other..that witnessing was relevant..Amen..that work got completed..that things didn’t just go unfinished or undone..Amen..that kids played for hours on out at a time with friends..riding bikes..playing ball..and so forth..Amen..that homemade dinners were cooked..that letters were written..that family time was there..all the while actually sitting down at the dinner table having dinner together..that people just seemed to have it more together..you know?..that people didn’t get distracted always seeking out direction in their lives..they just kinda knew..Amen..they just knew where they were going and what they were doing..Amen..and this morning I can’t help but think Lord could it be that we are just overwhelmed with distractions?..and comfort is found in so many other things than you?..that hearing your voice Lord is distant because we’re always so noisy..Amen..we always have something keeping us busy..something keeping our attention..Amen!”

“So there isn’t really a down time..or a quiet time..and even now days..just our prayer lives are rushed..because as I say to hear the Lord is hard because we keep ourselves entertained..we keep ourselves and our flesh happy..and if we don’t like one way of doing that..whether it’s tv..or the internet..or our facebook accounts..or instagram..or tiktok..or games..or videos..or whatever in the world than we just move on to the next thing..Amen..so yes..I think that entertainment is wonderful..believe you me..because I myself love it..Amen..and it can be a blessing..but as well I wonder what all we miss because we don’t spend the time with the Lord as we should..I wonder why we self medicate ourselves other than working it out with Christ?..Amen..so I don’t know where you are in your life and your walk..just as you don’t know about me or mine..Amen..but what I do know is that if your thirsty..if your hungry..if you are not satisfied and or content in your life..Matthew 5:6..than by all means stop entertaining yourself and self medicating yourself..and find your prayer closet just you and the Lord..Matthew 6:6..and there begin to work it out..whatever it is that needs to be worked out for you and your life..Amen..spend time being quiet before the Lord..and being open to hear and to receive whatever it is that He is wanting to say, heal, or set you free from..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
