“So we bought our home nine years ago..almost ten..Amen..and I really didn’t care much for the wall paper in the hallway..Amen..and so I always keep thinking I really need to paint that..but I just keep putting it off and really not all that concerned with it..Amen..even though that was the one thing I didn’t care for in the home the very day that Anthony and I came and met the real estate lady to take a look at it..Amen..so here recently I am determined to paint that hallway..Amen..but any ways I was talking yesterday to a pastor friend of mine and he was telling me that when him and his family moved into their home that the movers clipped the side of the wall going up their staircase..and he says it’s been this way for about three years now..and I keep walking past it so he says the other day I took the plaster and trimmed it up..and the next day I painted it..and just like that it was fixed..Amen..but any ways I am saying all of that to say this..but he had spoken something in the conversation that stuck with me and he says the beauty of having your home..you get to make it anyway you want to..you get to create your atmosphere that suits and fits you..Amen..and that is ever so true..and I thought Lord spiritually and naturally our homes represent us and who we are and what we like and we adore in our lives..Amen..and when you can be yourself and express yourself for who you are and what you like..its amazing at how freedom comes to you..Amen..for being who we are and being who we are always is the most incredible thing ever..Amen..for bondage comes in many forms..and when we always consider another person before ourselves..when it comes to what they think..or what they like..then we have lost and we begin to lose ourselves..our style..our opinion..our feelings about things..Amen..and you see we all are different and we all are unique in our own ways..and I have never been like others per say..I have always loved bright colors..and my home reflects that..Amen..and others not so much..and I do not like plain..and I do not like everything matching..I like things to be different and I like things to be homemade..and I love just anything that speaks to me..that is not like anything else..Amen!”

“But I say this because if not careful we all end up people pleasing..and we end up being and acting like someone else..and we never truly live who we were made to be..Amen..for God made us all fearfully and wonderfully and we all are not the same..Psalm 139:14-16..and we shouldn’t be..Amen..but to express yourself in all areas of your life is wonderful..Praise the Lord..so yeah..for years I lived certain ways..and it took a while to be free from all of that..Amen..but when you know that you are loved and that God loves you..and that you are free to express yourself and be yourself..it is the most incredible thing ever..for none of us should ever feel that we have to be another way around certain people..or that we have to change who we are for people to like us..because I will say that the right people that God has for you..will love you and adore you just as you are..Amen..for again expressing you and living free is our choice to do..and staying yourself in this world is one thing that we have the freedom to do..so choose your life..choose your home..choose your happiness..whatever that may look like for you..Amen..for I love people who are free to be themselves..and express their beauty..it is the most beautiful thing in life..and as far as the hallway I am going to begin today painting it..Amen..and I am so excited about it..wish me luck..so my whole heart today is this..by all means please be you..be the person God made you to be..and express you and all of who you are..in your home..both naturally and spiritually..Amen..for again freedom is a daily thing..and compromising you for others..is not what God intends for you..for you see man does look at the outward but God He looks at the heart..1 Samuel 16:7..Amen..so we live to please that audience of one which is Christ Jesus our Lord..always and forever..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 ❤
