“So yesterday evening Erik and I decided to come on home..and then Erik got up this morning to go on to deliver the load we had..but as with anyone who is away from home for a period in time when you do return you have a lot to take care of..and clean and maintain..because our homes is always a work..so I get busy on the inside doing the things that needed to be done..and Erik got busy outside cutting the grass and weed eating..Amen..so we went to bed around 10 or so last night..and woke up this morning around 2..lol..and couldn’t go back to sleep..so needless to say we are running on Jesus and coffee and maybe 4 hours of sleep..Amen..but when you are tired and your body is not up to par your not as alert as you would be if you would’ve gotten all your rest..Amen..and your not as quick at doing things and or are you able to get your mind together to even thinking what in the world you are doing..Amen..but as I feel this way this morning I as well think about the word of the Lord and at how Jesus tells us to be sober..to be vigilant..for the adversary as of a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour..1 Peter 5:8..Amen..because this is how I think about it..that when we don’t spend time with the Lord..and we don’t seek Him as we should..we begin to do our own thing..and we aren’t as fresh as we could be..or even alert as we should be..because we get kind of lazy with it..or we get to busy with everything else that we overlook the important things in our lives..Amen..but for us as Gods children I pray we do stay very alert and very watchful and mindful of our homes and of our lives that we are choosing to live..Amen..because what we do effects us in so many ways..even if at first they don’t bother us..sooner or later the restless nights..the not praying days..and the over looking church..and fellowship..and the letting go of things that once burned so deep inside..they will catch up with us..Amen!”

“For the word says that if the goodman of the house would had known what hour the thief was gonna break into his home then he would’ve stayed awake and he would’ve watched and not suffered his home to be broken into..Matthew 24:43-47..Amen..so life is a busy mess at times..and without the Lord we will not make it..not ever..sooner or later it all comes to surface the things we do, the way we are..and everything in between..but we play around so much that we miss out on so much as well from Jesus..Amen..for God is there always but we have to be alert and we have to stay focused and stay awake..if there is ever a time to watch and pray..and truly seek Gods face it is now..Amen..it is right now to be more alert and more awake then ever before..because there is so much hurt and so much brokenness in lives..and in my families lives..that there is no time to let your guard down..but to pray..and to cover..and to stay there with Jesus..wide eyed and awake..that is where we all need to be..Amen..for sin is real..the enemy is real..and he is alive and well..so just know that you have to be as well..spiritually you have got to stay on it..and stay full..and stay well..in every aspect of who you are..Amen..keep your cups full and over flowing with the presence and the anointing of the holy ghost of God..Amen..don’t let the enemy steal anything from you, from your family, from your friends..not nothing..pray for your neighbors..pray for your pastors..pray like never before..and let us ask for forgiveness..Amen..and let us turn from all of our wicked ways..and God will hear us and God will forgive us and He will heal our land..2 Chronicles 7:14..Praise the Lord..so stay well in all areas of your life..stay whole and stay complete..don’t ever take your freedom for granted..because so many are looking and searching for freedom and daily they are bound..so be thankful for yours..and holdfast to it..Amen..your peace..your joy..your happiness..everything..be so thankful for it..and never forget to thank our Father daily for all that He has done and all that He continues to do 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 ❤
