“So today as I was coming back home from dropping Benjamin off for his bath..this particular post of one of my friends wearing a tunic..and dressed in all attire with the head dressing..the belt..the purse..all of it..my mind and my heart went immediately to years ago when my family and I attended First Assembly of God..and the choir and the drama team would put on a huge Easter play that would run usually for two weekends..Amen..and it was such a fun time in my life..I will never forget that..how amazing that was..the experience, the love, the passion..the whole thing..and the feeling that would come from the atmosphere..amazing..but any ways as I seen her dressed in that clothing my mind went there..all the way back there 24 years ago..and my heart was so touched..and I began to just cry as I drove back home thanking the Lord for that time in my life..thanking Him for all the battles that have been won since that time in my life..remembering who I was in that time in my life..remembering how much growth was needed..how much faith was needed in that time in my life..and at how wonderful the Lord has been to me and my family since that time in my life..Amen!”

“But I say all of that to say that memories come in many ways to each of us..and I love the moments when they do..Amen..because it softens my heart..and renews my mind..Amen..gets my thinking, thinking in the right direction..Amen..for me these are my God moments..when my heavenly Father speaks to His daughter..Amen..for God has done a lot in this ole girls life..Amen..I have fought many hard battles along the way..went through many things I wished a thousand times over that I would had just been able to walk away from or even run away from..Amen..but I couldn’t do that..for you see God in all of His wisdom He knows what we need..Amen..because even in the valley..Praise God..He is there..Hallelujah..even on the mountain..He is there..Praise His name..so even through all the mess..even through all of the tears..the heartaches..the pains..the depression..the fear..all of it..somehow God in all of His wisdom He truly did work it all together for my good..Romans 8:28..Hallelujah!”

“For the word says this..”The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want..He makes me to lie down in green pastures: He leads me beside the still waters..He restores my soul: He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake..Yeah, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me..Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over..Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever..Psalm 23:1-5..Amen..so maybe just maybe you are in a battle..you may be in a rough place right now in your life..but I do plead with you..please remember Gods hands of faithfulness to you and your life..and know that God is with you..and that God alone is your help..your strength..your friend..your healer..Amen..He alone is your everything..Praise the Lord..call to Him, He says and He will answer you and He will show you great and mighty things that you know not..Jeremiah 33:3..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 ❤
