“So yesterday I went and got Benjamin a cone to place around his neck to keep him from scratching this scab that is on his ear..because somehow along the way he did something and it put a cut on his ear a little bit and its a tiny place..but he knows that something is there and he will not leave it alone..Amen..and so anyways all last night and this morning..he will be walking along and the collar will run into a table..or he’ll be going through a space and he thinks that he is stuck there..so he will stand completely still..Amen..its funny and we are telling him Benjamin you are okay..you are not stuck..Amen..but again I was thinking this morning about us..and how we are as well in our lives..and at how we are just walking along doing our thing so to speak for the Lord..Amen..and all of sudden we hit a rough spot..or we have an inconvenience..or we may end up having a falling out..or we have a bad report from the doctor..Amen..and so in that moment we will stop dead in our tracks..and we think that somehow life is over..that we as well are just stuck..Amen..that all has ended..that nothing will happen now..that we might as well just give up..throw the towel in and quit..Amen!”

“But you know I have come to tell us all this morning that we are not stuck in anyway shape or form..Amen..for you see scripture says that God is faithful and He that has performed a good work in you will finish it..that it will be completed..Philippians 1:6..Amen..that He works it all together for our good..Romans 8:28..Amen..that there is nothing to hard for God..Jeremiah 32:27..Amen..so know that we may go through valleys..and we may have to climb steep mountains..but as well know that it is not the end of our lives..Amen..that it may be a season of our lives..Ecclesiastes 3:1..Amen..but its not the end..Praise the Lord..so whatever you need to do this day..than do that..Amen..if it is turning around..backing up..starting over..bending down..leaning forward..I don’t know but what I know is that you are NOT stuck in your life..Amen..so look around you see what you have and start there..go in a different direction as I say whatever you need to do..do that..because God is with you..Isaiah 41:10..Amen..and God is ordering your footsteps..Psalm 37:23/Proverbs 16:9..Amen..guiding you in ways you never can or ever could imagine..Amen..so I’ll leave us all with this..if God is for us then who can be against us?..Romans 8:31..Amen..absolutely no one..Amen..so have confidence in who are you and whom it is that you serve..which is Jesus Christ our Lord..Amen..so look up for your redemption truly does draw nigh..Luke 21:28..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 ❤
