“Hard conversations are never a fun or an easy thing..Amen..but they are a needful thing to do in all of our lives..Amen..because when offenses come..when we get disappointed in our lives..when things happen..when people say things..especially them ones that are close to us..than a lot of times we don’t wanna stir the pot so to speak..we just wanna let it go..well, we think we let it go..but honestly we don’t let it go..we merely cover it up and push it down..way down deep inside..and then one day it rises to the surface..and all of those hurts..all of those pains..all of those disappointments come flooding to the surface and we kinda explode..Amen..how many of ya know what I’m talking about?..Amen..and kinda like that pot that we don’t wanna stir..well, if we don’t stir it then what happens?..things get stuck and they eventually will end up burning and getting stuck to the bottom of the pan..Amen..because the same with us..it takes many years sometimes for people to know how to give the hard conversations..but guys we have too..when someone in your life is doing something..and saying things..and acting out in ways towards you that is not kind..not friendly..and you are always forgiving them and they continue this..well, then that becomes a problem..so if you don’t address it..then you end up allowing it..and what you allow no matter what it is in life..it will continue..Amen!”

“So this morning I pray that we all have the courage to speak up..but do it in love..Amen..not in haste..not in anger..but in love..speak truth to the situation..Ephesians 4:15-16..whatever that situation is in your life..I pray you do respond with a conversation..that you do ask the hard questions..because sometimes people don’t even know what they are doing..or how there even acting..because maybe that is just how they are..but when you bring something into the light..by truth..then it reveals things to people..because light repels the darkness..Amen..and it is only the truth..that sets us free..John 8:31-55..Praise the Lord..so don’t allow your heart to be hurt by others..for the Lord never intended that..because you matter..Amen..and the enemy will use anything and everything to get to us..Amen..but as well it’s all how we choose to respond..how we choose to speak up..because all of us know people in whom we never would say stuff too..because we know that person would never allow it..Amen..so we don’t say things or act certain ways towards certain people..why?..because we know they will speak back..and they will correct..Amen..so again before you begin to let your pot overflow with anger..and with madness..please sit down and have that conversation..because if you allow it to continue in your life with people..it will continue..Amen..and sometimes we let things go..sometimes people are only for a season..and we just keep holding on..trying to make something work that is never meant to be working..so let us be wise..let us use our voices for truth..and let us know that we all have a choice in life..and we all matter..and we do matter greatly to God and to the life that we are living..so love yourself enough to speak up for yourself..Amen..before the pot of your life..overflows and burns down what could’ve been a wonderful friendship..or even was supposed to be a wonderful friendship..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 ❤
