“For many people in my life call me, Sunshine..Amen..and I take that as the highest form of a compliment..Amen..because my life these past few months have been a little bit overwhelming to say the least..Amen..it’s been a rough road..my family and I have been going through a lot since 2019..through a sister who has tried many times to take her life..that wants to give up in her life..and truly just doesn’t want to be alive..Amen..to the last few months to my step dad that was honestly on the mere of death with many health issues and heart troubles..Amen..to a friendship that ended after many years..Amen..to a niece that is battling a brain tumor..to fighting off Covid..my son and I for two weeks..and even now I am not fully over it..Amen..so life has not been easy..so when I say to people renew your mind..Romans 12:2..Amen..because if not the enemy will do his best to take you out..Amen..for yesterday was a rough day for me..I woke with a headache and had it all day long..for stress will kill you..it will overwhelm you..it will destroy everything of who you are in Christ..Amen!”

“But thanks be unto the Lord whom is our shelter in times of storms..Psalm 61:3-5..whom fills us up with His love and His happiness..Amen..because we do have a Father who fights our battles for us in life..for this life is not our home and I remind myself of that..I remind myself daily..that there isn’t anything that God cannot do or will not do for us..for He loves us ever so much..so I do run to my Father and I stay there in His presence until I know that I know that I have been with my Maker..Amen..because it’s only Christ in us that gives us what we need to survive in this world..in this fallen world in which we live..it is a battle that we all face and daily so..Amen..so I say stay close to the Lord..stay walking with Him..for He is the only one that can help us in the mess that is here..the messes that we deal with..because without Him we all fall apart..so I do have trials..I do fight battles and many of them..but I do look up into the face of my Lord..and I find everything that I need there..so I love the scripture that says weeping may endure for a night..but ‘JOY’ comes in the morning..Psalm 30:5..Praise the Lord..because the next morning somehow the Lord in all of His goodness..fills me up with His joy..His peace..and His SONshine..Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow..Amen..so never forget where your help comes from..Psalm 121:2..Amen..for your help comes from the Lord our God..the Maker of heaven and earth..Psalm 124:8..for He is a very present help in our times of need..Psalm 46:1-2..and I will leave us all with this thought..do be kinder than necessary for everyone you meet is fighting a battle..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 ❤
