“Learning to wait is never an easy thing for any of us..we want to get to where we are going and get there as quickly as possible..Amen..we get impatient a lot of the time and rush ahead..only in the long run to realize and to understand that maybe we should’ve slowed down just a tad bit and waited on the Lord..for I am always reminded of the story of the butterfly..and it goes something like this..there was this little girl in whom had caterpillar in which case turned into a cacoon..and one day the little girl noticed that the caterpillar was getting ready to make it’s appearance into this beautiful and glorious world in which we all live..so the little girl kept watching and watching..but the little butterfly to her seemed to be struggling to break through out from that cacoon that it was in..so in her own mind she figured she would help little guy out and so she reached in there and picked it up and tore it all open to help that butterfly out..but once out the little butterfly only had one side of it’s wings..the other side hadn’t quite developed in the way that it should had..for it says that when a butterfly is coming out of it’s cacoon that the struggle is the process as to where the little butterflies fluid in it’s body is pushed through into it’s wings..and in which case it develops them beautiful wings in which makes them able to fly..Amen!”

“But through the eyes of that little girl she thought that the butterfly was hurting so she wanted to reach right in and help, only to find out that she hadn’t helped him but she hurt him…I think it’s kinda like us and in our journey and walks with the Lord..we are wanting to get to where the Lord wants for us to be and get there quickly..but guys the Lord in His infinite wisdom knows what’s best for you and I..for maybe when He looks down at us He sees us struggle as the little girl seen the butterfly struggle..but as well He understands that the struggle is developing in us something far greater than anything that we can ever imagine..so today I pray that none of us rush ahead and or run ahead of the Lord..but I pray that we all stay in sync with Him..Amen..walking right along side of Him every step of the way..for sure the Lord wants us to get to where He is wanting for us to go and be..but as well the Lord knows that we all have got to grow first..Amen!”

“That we all have got to go through them trials and struggles..we have to go through them things so we can learn to lean and trust in God like never before..for you see guys it doesn’t matter how long it takes any of us to get to the place where God is wanting..the thing that matters is that when we do get there to that place..that we are ready..Praise the Lord..so let us continue on knowing that God is ordering our steps..for the word says that the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord..Psalm 37:23..and knowing that whenever God looks down and sees that we are ready to fly so to speak..than He will open up them doors unto us that no man can shut..Isaiah 22:22..so keep on growing…and never get ahead of God..for sometimes it will end up hurting us instead of helping us..for just know that Gods timing is perfect..He is never early and He is never late..so wait on the Lord guys I pray we all do..and as we wait I pray we all wait patiently..Psalm 40:1…for our Heavenly Father knows what’s best..He knows our lives from the beginning all the way to the end..and once again..He can do anything, anywhere, and anytime that He alone chooses..so let us never forget that…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
