“So a lot of times when we are in a situation it truly does show what we need to work on in our lives..Amen..because the thing is this when we are in Christ..we do have our moments of disappointments and hurts that happen in life..but if we live there in them we stay there in them..and what happens is we begin to lose sight..considering that we will dwell there in the moments of despair..Amen..and we will live there for a long time until we recognize how we are responding..how we are acting..and how we are letting these things control us..control our attitude..control our feelings..control our emotions..everything..because if we don’t see these areas in our lives..we never grow to move forward and get passed them..Amen..in other words when certain people maybe come around..Amen..and you begin to change you..you begin to act differently..you begin to have all of these past memories flood your mind..but not for the good..then it is in these moments..that you have to find your place with the Lord and ask Him to heal you from them..to help you to get over them..and to move on..so that you can enjoy your life..this beautiful life that Jesus died that we should and could be living..John 10:10/2 Corinthians 5:15-17..Amen!”

“Because when we let past control our todays of life..we live there in the past..Amen..we never see the future..we never live in our moments of life..but we are living and staying in hurt..in pain..in moments that were unpleasant..and that is not a place to live..Amen..because I believe that if we see this happening God is trying to get our attention to deal with it..Amen..because over looking anything doesn’t fix it..Amen..trying to control your temper..or your feelings towards things or people..doesn’t fix your heart towards them things..Amen..or your emotions and feelings towards any of it..pushing things under the rug..only means it’s covered up..but even in covering it up..it is still there..Amen..so when you can talk about something without getting mad..when you can move on in your life..and not be emotionally upset of what has happened to you..and you are able to not cry..or be so tore up..than you are drawing healing over these areas in your life..and you are getting and gaining freedom from it..Amen!”

“So if you are in a situation I would say never be a door mat for anyone..and never let a pattern that is not a good one continue..if people are not nice..if you are always in conflict and you are not welcomed..and you can feel it..and you know it..then by all means step away..move on..don’t try to fix something..because a lot of times things are not supposed to be fixed..and a lot of times not everyone is meant to stay in your life..only for a moment..only for a season..Amen..but the biggest thing of all is this..as my dear sweet friend, Lisa, yesterday had given me the cutest gifts..and one of them was a magnet..and it said this..”Never let anyone dull your shine!”..Amen..and that is the truth..Praise the Lord..so what I wanna say to us all this morning is this..stay bright..stay filled..stay happy..stay joyful..stay shining your light..so that others may see..Amen..and never let anyone in life have that much power over you and your life as to where they are stealing them beautiful gifts that God has given to you..His child..Amen..so be alert my friends..pay attention..and if we are living to please anyone..my whole heart is that we are living to please Him and only Him alone..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 ❤
