“God is a God of seasons in our lives..Ecclesiastes 3:1-8..and we are in those seasons whether we choose to be or not..we are there..because God is over them..Amen..and in these times of our lives whether they are for a moment or even a long time..like waiting for our baby to be born..which takes 9 whole months..it is a process..right?..and no matter how much we pray we cannot get out of it..no matter how much we fast we cannot get out of our season that God has placed us in..because God has a reason for every single season..so my thoughts this morning is this..we all wanna run away from the hard places..we wanna get out of them as quickly as possible..Amen..but sometimes God takes the hard place to make us and equip us to what we need to be for Him in that next chapter and season of our lives..Amen..so its not about getting out of the hard place or season that we are in..but it is getting through that season with dignity..and with grace..and having hope while we wait in the season..all the while knowing that God is producing a great fruit in us while we are in that season of our lives..Amen..for He uses it all for our good..Romans 8:28..Amen..and for His glory..Praise the Lord..because most of the time in that dark hard place..we begin to think immediately that we are being attacked by the enemy..and we go to battle against satan..rebuking him..and fasting and praying..Amen!”

“But most of the time it is not for the fact that we are getting attacked..it is just God producing in us what He alone knows that we need for the next phase of our lives..as I say the next chapter of our lives..because we will rarely ever just change up our lives unless we have a reason too..or we get pushed to do so..kinda like that baby bird in the nest..when the momma knows that its time to fly..well, if the baby bird isn’t willing to do so..then the momma pushes him out of the nest..Amen..and what happens?..well, the baby bird begins to fly..and take flight..Amen..the same with us..most of us are still scrambling around on the ground so to speak..while God our Father knows that we should have already been flying..Amen..so He gets in there and He alone stirs up our lives..He gets in there preparing us to get ready to get pushed out of our so called nest that we have grown so used to and gotten so comfortable in..Amen..so again if you are in a season..I do pray we go through it with much grace and hope..knowing that God is in control over the seasons of our lives..and that God is using it for our good..for the next thing..Amen..so we don’t have to rush out of it..we simply have to grow in it..all the while producing great and holy fruit while we are going through it..knowing its for the next phase and that next beautiful chapter of our lives that God has already prepared for us..Amen..so hold on because great and mighty things are coming from this season..don’t back away..don’t get angry..just move forward..all the while as graceful and as hopeful as you can..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do as 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 ❤
