“It’s through the struggle that we become the person that we are this day..Amen..it is through the hardships and the dark places that we become the women and men that God has made for us to be for Him..because lets get real guys there is no better teacher in life..than when you face an obstacle and you face a trial..Amen..and going through it..is not fun..and you don’t understand why..you don’t understand the reason behind it..Amen..and you question..and you cry..and you do a whole lot of things..through that season in your life..Amen..through the valley as the Lord calls it in the book of Psalms..Psalm 23..Amen..but it is in that valley..and in that struggle..that you are being made..you are being molded..you are trusting Jesus..you are gaining knowledge and wisdom beyond anything that any book or classroom could ever teach you..Amen..because how many of you know that we are sometimes hard students..Amen..we don’t always get it the first time around..or we just don’t pay that close attention through the easy things of life..Amen..but when the heat is up just a smidge..and life is hard..and it is not being kind or fair to you..that is when you perk up..and you listen..and you seek out help..Amen..and when you know that you can’t get it from people the help that you are truly needing..that is when you find the Lord like you’ve never had Him before..Amen..because He is Creator..Amen..and only the Lord can bring true and long lasting peace..help..comfort..a sound mind..Amen..and everything in between that we may be needing at that point and time in our lives..Amen..but after you get through those times and you come out of them..who you were before them is not who you’re gonna be once you come out of them..Amen..because you are gonna be changed..and you my friend are gonna be different..your perspective will be different..your attitude will be different..the way you view life..the way you talk..the way you present yourself..Amen..everything will be changed for God and His glory..Amen!”

“Because again it is through the time of hardships that we become and truly become the anointed and most glory filled child of God..Amen..when He places us in a hard place..it is for our good..Amen..doesn’t make sense to us..but it is truly for our good..and we grow..and we mature..and we learn how to be better in our lives..how to look at others and have compassion and understanding towards them and their struggle that they may be in..Amen..when you know how something feels in life..you know how to approach others that is facing the same thing or things that you faced..Amen..you are able to give them hope for overcoming these trials in their own lives..Amen..because when God places us on that Potters wheel and places us in the fire so to speak..Isaiah 64:8..Amen..He is with us there and He is pushing and molding us in them moments..He is refining us..Amen..and when you come out of it..you shine ever so brightly for the Lord..Amen..you can always tell when someone has been through it..Amen..because they really are enjoying their life..Amen..their freedom that they have..they truly are thankful and appreciative of everything..they know to hold their tongue..to speak well..to be positive..to be loving and kind..to be caring..I tell you it changes you for the better..and always know that..I wouldn’t change my struggles and hard times for anything in my life..and I am so glad that the Lord didn’t answer me to take me from that Potters wheel..that He kept me there..Amen..for I look back and I thank Him for what I learned and what He alone taught me..Amen..because I found my Father while I was there..my Lord Jesus..Amen..and I do honor my Heavenly Father and thank Him daily for everything..it helped me in ways that nothing else could..Amen..for I am and maybe still am just a little stubborn..lol..Amen..so if you are there my friend..stay there..hold tight..and keep praying..for you will come forth..and you will be like a diamond in the sky shining ever so brightly for our Lord and for our Savior Jesus Christ..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 ❤
