“I think about life and at how everyone is truly searching for something in their lives..Amen..every one is looking for comfort..looking for direction..looking for love..looking for peace..looking and searching for satisfaction in their lives..looking for more than what is there..because honestly in our hearts and in our lives..there is this place that God made when He created us that is only filled and only content when we find our place in Him..Amen..because we all just want the Lord..Amen..we all just want to know Him more..more than yesterday..more than the past years that we’ve known Him..we want to be full of Him..Amen..we all want to be able to just walk in love and walk knowing that our lives are pleasing to Him..Amen..and at times it’s hard for us to reach that place because we don’t seek God and His face..we some how seek out others opinions and others approvals..as if to say that if we get their stamp of approval so to speak then all is well..and will be well..Amen!”

“But how many of ya know that Gods ways and His thoughts are so much higher than ours?..Amen..that Gods ways they are not at all like ours..Isaiah 55:8-9..Amen..He doesn’t think as we think..Amen..I remember years ago when Anthony was five years old and Erik and I decided that we were gonna go together as a family and travel and work from over the road..Amen..we always had our home to come back to..but we all went together..and boy oh boy did we have so many naysayers..we had so many that rose up against us in anger..and in madness..we had many that talked about us like we were just the craziest of people..how in the world would we do something like that..take our little baby and homeschool him?..so even our Pastor and people at church would speak things and it would hurt..Amen..but we would pray..we would seek Gods face..and His approval and we would get up and go regardless of what was said to us..Amen..because we were following the Lord..Amen..and no it’s not easy when you follow the Lord..but if you are His child His voice is all that matters..Amen!”

“So the point of it all is this..seek God and His face for your life..1 Chronicles 16:11/Psalm 27:8-14..Amen..and when you know what God our Father wants from you and your life..then you walk in that way..regardless if it makes sense to anyone else..because people are just people..their looking for their own lives and what they should be doing..Amen..I learned years ago..how can others know more about you and your life then what you do?..Amen..not being rude here but I don’t think anyone is seeking out God wholeheartedly for you and your life to be able to give you that clear direction that you are wanting..only you and your family finds that through prayer..and as far as Anthony..Erik and I did great with Him..raising Him up in the ways of the Lord..He graduated high school..He went on to college and finished up in three years determined to finish early..and he did just that..Amen..and those years together as a family traveling all over the USA was one of the best times in all of our lives..Amen..we would never trade that time for anything..Praise the Lord..so following the Lord is not for the faint at heart..Amen..when you are doing anything for the Lord..people come in many forms and fashions..so just know that God and His voice you know and that the voice of a stranger you will not follow..John 10:5..so keep on seeking God and His ways..and His thoughts..because we may make our plans but God..He alone directs our pathways..Proverbs 16:9..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 ❤
