“So a week ago today I lost my oldest sister..and my heart and emotions are all over the place..you lose someone you love and its a hard thing to deal with..mentally and physically its exhausting..because your mind goes back to childhood together..and with her being my big sister she was a great one for me..her Pandles..thats what she called me..she loved me so much..she would french braid my hair all the time..she would always sit me on the tops of her feet as she would lay in the floor..and as I grew a little older her and I would stay up all night after her little babies were in bed..and we would make homemade calzones and play nintendo mario brothers until early in the morning..we knew every secret way to escape and get extra coins on that game..I don’t play games at all now..but as far as that one I know how to win that game and how to play it..even to this very day..it was so much fun for me on the weekends to go to her home..I always looked forward to it..she taught me many things in my life..and my heart is grieving right now so much..I have my moments just as my family does..its not something that any one ever gets over in their lives..death is such a horrible thing for us all that are still here in this ole world that we live..Amen..but as a child of God we know that death is not the end for us..Amen..we know that heaven is all of our goals in life..Amen..so I have to remind myself that there is a time and a season for everything under the heavens the bible says..a time to be born and a time to die..Amen..and that there is a time to weep and mourn..and then there is a time to rejoice..Amen..so I know that whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord they shall be saved..Romans 10:13-15..Amen..and that nothing in this life can ever separate us from God and His love..Amen!”

“For it says not death..nor life..neither angels nor demons..neither present not the future..nor any powers..no height nor depth..nothing in all of creation can separate us from God..for it says nothing can snatch us from our Fathers hands..Romans 8:38-39./John 10:28-30..Amen..for we are are His and He alone is ours..Amen..so I know that one day I will see my big sister again..right now its not a good time for my family and I..but I do know that God is merciful..and God is faithful..and God is our fighter and vindicator in life..that He has my sister Michele..and that she is in heaven rejoicing in His love and His presence..Amen..so I am asking for prayers for my family right now in this hard time that we are in..and that you would pray for our mommy, Iris, she is having the hardest of time with this..for it is her baby girl..her first born..Amen..but we are so thankful to the Lord..for Calvary for His greatest sacrifice that He made on the cross for you and I that we could live forever with Him for all eternity..with no more sickness..no more pain..no more sorrows..Revelation 21:4..Amen..all is light..Revelation 21:23..because Jesus is the light..1 John 1:5..Amen..for He is the way..the truth and the life..John 14:6..Amen..so we rejoice in Him..we gain our strength from Him..and we keep looking up..seeking His face..and asking for help and daily so to get through this day..as we are healing and doing our best to move forward with life..without her..I thank you all for your love and prayers..and I thank my Father for helping me and my family in this time that we all are in..Amen..I pray we all love a little harder..and forgive a little quicker..and that we put and place things first in our lives that need to be placed there..that we look at the big picture of it all..and that we love people more so than things..and that we take time and make time for the most important things..which is our families and our friends..Amen..having no regrets in our lives..Amen..for life is just as the word of God says nothing more than a vapor..we are here for but a moment and then we are gone..James 4:14..and death comes suddenly and sometimes as it did here with my sister catches you off guard..so do your best and live a life well..denying yourself..picking up your cross and following Jesus..Matthew 16:24..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 ❤
