“As we travel from the east coast to the west coast..the scenery changes drastically along the way..and through every state I always try to find flowers to take pictures of..or maybe weeds..but either way to me they are so beautiful..Amen..but when we get further out west and the atmosphere is more dry and barren..and it is really rocky..not at all a lot of greenery to see or look at..then that is when it truly amazes me at how I still find these amazing flowers..some are briught red..some are yellow..purple..and even down in between at times the rocks and the dry grass and tumble weeds I will see beautiful maroon colored ones..Amen..and when I do I always feel as if God is telling me, Mandi, bloom where your planted..Amen..because isn’t it so lovely that regardless of where we may be that we do remain in Him..that we are steadfast and still shining and growing for the Lord our God..Amen..for He is always trying to teach us something in our lives..but the lesson is always for our good and for our future..Amen..so know that life is not always a fair place..and even now you may feel that your life is in a whirlwind..and you don’t know how you are gonna make it..Amen..I just want you to know that even if it feels bad..and even if it is a dark lonely place..please know that you are growing..that you like those weeds or flowers in the desert that you are gonna bloom just as they do..Amen!”

“But I do think that them flowers in the desert places that go them dark and dry places..the not so green places..they truly do stand out above and beyond all the other flowers that we may see in them bright and beautiful gardens..because to me I see them and I think they have been through the fire..the heat..the wind..the dust..the rough rocks and still through all of that..they have decided to remain and to keep on growing and blooming regardless of there atmosphere and or place that they have been planted..Amen..and isn’t that so wonderful..Praise the Lord..I think its the loveliest of all..Amen..so today I just wanna say to us all..that we may feel as if nothing is changing that our lives are in a whirlwind of a mess..but I have come to encourage you all this day..that God is with you where you are..and that you are growing and you are gonna make it..for the word says that even in the valley of life..that God is there..Psalm 23:4..that He alone never leaves us..Praise the Lord..and that even on the mountain tops of our lives..that even there God is with us..so to be in Him..is to have everything we need..so bloom where you are planted..grow and learn..and grab ahold of whatever life lesson God is giving to you..for He works and always works it all together for our good..so hold on and don’t give up and whatever you do don’t stop blooming wherever you may be..just keep on keeping on..moving ahead with our Father..for He is with you again..and He is changing you and making you into everything that He alone needs for you to be for Him and His glory..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 ❤
