“I don’t know where we came up with this thought or idea that we have to always be doing more..other than what we are already doing for the Lord in our lives..Amen..it seems that when we start out serving the Lord..we all are happy and bright..so joyful..and peaceful and content..and we just do what we are called to do..whatever that might be..Amen..for it could be the anointing for you is singing..or teaching..or loving on them babies in the nursery..maybe being a greeter at church..who knows your calling could be in your work place..shining and sharing the Lord through just being there..just being you..Amen..but as the years go by..somehow we feel that we gotta do more..that what we’re doing is not enough..that surely we have to pick up extra..Amen..we gotta be here..we gotta go there..we gotta be involved in this..or that..or whatever the case is..and sooner or later we end up holding on to it all..running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off so to speak..Amen..and at that holding on to the very end of our robe of life..Amen..praying and crying..and getting overwhelmed..and all the while asking the Lord to give us strength and help just to get through our day..Amen!”

“But somehow this is the thing about it all..Amen..and I do pray that if you are this person that you hear me when I say..that God gives you enough grace daily to do what He alone desires from you..Hebrews 13:21..Amen..He gives His help and grace and strength..and when you are living the life that God gave you to truly be living for Him..you are happy..you are joyful..you are peaceful and you are so content..Amen..but when you get in this mindset or you begin looking around comparing you with someone else and their lives and what they may be doing..that is when you begin to pick up more..and more..and you begin picking up things and stuff that was never yours to be picking up..so what I wanna say is this..you are enough..what you do is enough..and what you are doing is enough..for you see it is your gift..your talent..your anointing..your favor..it is your thing..Amen..so embrace what God has given you..Amen..and don’t ever second guess your place and your ability to do great works right where you are for the Lord..so grow and learn where you are in your walk and call..and never underestimate it..Amen..to being just this or that..because anything that God placed His hands on is a BIG thing..Amen..for God takes the small things and He does great things with it..Amen..so be you..be yourself..and whatever you do..don’t complicate your life by doing things and picking up baggage that is not yours to be picking up..Amen..because it weighs you down..and it takes your focus off from the things you are already supposed to be doing..Amen..so keep on growing where you are with your gift..your talent..and your place..for your place is a great place..Amen..for your place is the very place that God our Father has placed you and ordered your footsteps to be..for as the word says for such a time as this..Esther 4:14-16..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 ❤
