“So yesterday I was thinking my goodness we are already moving into February and into Valentines day..and I thought where in the word did winter go..but then I thought Mandi winter truly isn’t over until March..Amen..and actually March 20th..Amen..so here I am changing up stuff..and rushing and wanting this rain and snow..and all the cold weather to move on..Amen..and many are right there with me..and then I thought well but if we didn’t have those things..then our spring probably wouldn’t be as beautiful..Amen..for we need all that rain to water our earth..to make everything grow so wonderfully as it does..Amen..and of course after rainy days usually we get to see a rainbow..Amen..and we all love the rainbows..Amen..but none of us like to be in a season for long..maybe society and our culture right now has placed that on us because we are always rushing to the next thing in life..Amen..always having something to do..so we wanna get ahead of the game so to speak..Amen..but guys I tell ya seasons in our lives are for a reason..and we all go through a lot of different seasons..Amen..some are not so good in the beginning but afterwards it turns out to be exactly what we needed..for again how many of ya know that Gods ways are not ours..Isaiah 55:8-9..Amen..and we all as well know that the beginning of anything is never fun or is it easy..but afterwards it yields a beautiful thing in our lives..Hebrews 12:11..Amen!”

“But this morning I keep thinking how do we slow down long enough to enjoy where we are in life?..and how do we get out of the rat race of it all..to being happy and live life..in whatever season that we are in..whether it is a bright and happy one..or a cold and dreary one..Amen..and the only way to get through them the ones that are not so kind or pleasant..is by abiding in the Lord..John 15:4-5..Amen..for He is our source of everything in our lives..and without Him we cannot get to far..Amen..but as well we have to know that God is full of wisdom for each of us and our lives..Amen..so again we must remain hopeful and remain close to our Father..and continue to seek His face and His ways for us and our lives..Amen..for in doing so we do stay in a better state of mind..especially in these winter months..for many get depressed in these times..when its cold and dreary they get sad..because its not a place they like to be..Amen..and again this is physically and spiritually in many peoples lives..but if you are that person..as I used to be really bad about it..then as I say stay hopeful in the Lord..pray continually in your life..and do things that bring happiness to you..have something that you are looking forward too in your day..and make sure too laugh..Amen..laughter is so good..Amen..and we move ahead and we get through our seasons of life with the help of the Lord..for He alone is right there with us..Amen..He never leaves us..Amen..and seasons are good..might not look like it right now..but they truly are..the bible tells us all about seasons..and that there is a time and season for everything under the heavens..Ecclesiastes 3:1-8..Amen..and change is good..changing and growing not so much..but we get through it..all of it..with the help of the Lord..so enjoy where you are as you are moving into the next phase of your life..and do it gracefully..and do it intentionally as you are in your season whatever one that may be and whatever that may look like right now for you and your life..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 ❤
