“This morning as Erik and I were driving through Dallas..we thought about the time we all had went to the Potters House of Pastor T.D Jakes ..and it was so fun..if anyone can bring the word that man truly can..Amen..but as well we thought about how God has lead us over these years we’ve been together and at how many times the Lord has brought us through difficult times..through growth..through change..through sickness..through moving…through hardships..through break downs..through fear..depression..anxiety..oh my goodness..when I think back over our lives together these past 26 years of marriage..we have came through a lot..Amen..but we as well know that we would’ve and could’ve never made it without Jesus..and His help..and His peace..and His comfort..and His unending love and light that He gave to us along the way..Amen!”

“For the Lord truly gives you the grace and strength..and light and love that you need in your life when you need it the most..for He is ever so faithful..1 Corinthians 10:13..He always shows up on time every time..never is He early and never ever is He late..I believe that we do have ups and downs in life..and we do go through many different things..only for the fact of us to learn who He is..Amen..that we need Him..for Erik and I both are very head strong people..and as I say we like to take control and do things our way in life..and when troubles come and when those difficulties arose in our lives..we found out pretty fast that we needed the Lord..for He isn’t just a place on the shelf kind of God..but He is a best friend..daily living..faithful and true blue till the end kind of God..He wants all of us..and He wants involved in it all..but today I just came to say that if you are in a place of hardship..then whatever you do..don’t give up for the Lord is with you..He is there..we all only need to be still and listen for Him..and let Him shine His unfailing, unending light and love for us to follow..for He leads us out from darkness..Amen!”

“I think about that ole gospel song that says this..”And I thank God for the Lighthouse..I owe my life to Him..for Jesus is the Lighthouse and from the rocks of sin..for He has shown a light around me..that I might clearly see..that if it wasn’t for the Lighthouse..where would this ship be?..Amen..and I can’t help but imagine where I would be without the Lord Jesus in my life..and in my families lives..for without Him we cannot..Amen..Oh, but with Him guys..we can and we will do all things..Praise His name..so look for the Lord in your life..for He is there with you..He is always there giving you light and as I say love..for He is a great and wonderful God..whom we can trust..for He is faithful and true blue till the very end..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 ❤
