“For the most part I am a very positive person..and I am a very happy person..I will hug you all the while laughing hysterically..and maybe hitting you all the while..lol..just a little..because I kind of have a habit of doing that..and as I’m told my grandma did as well..lol..but anyways many people will say you are the most happiest person I have ever met in my life..you have so much joy..and they’ll say whatever your taking I’ll have some..Amen..and of course I usually will say thanks and will say to them it’s Jesus..Amen..He alone is the source of my everything..2 Thessalonians 1:2-12..but here recently I have taken another step into telling them why I choose to be happy..not saying that I still don’t have my days to where I am sad or I’m not battling that ole enemy of our very souls..but for the most part I choose to be happy and daily so..because well, for about 10 years of my life..one day I woke up and my whole world was different..everything that used to make sense didn’t make sense to me..the things that brought me joy no longer did..and I fell into a deep depression..all the while battling fear..so I did not want to be alone in my life..I clinged to my husband for comfort..my son..my family and friends..and even than I did not get the comfort I was needing..I stopped driving and would not drive anywhere unless someone was with me..Amen..but as I was going through this in my life..I met Jesus..Amen..and it was through that time that I really got to know Him..and understand that He is real..and He is alive and very much well..Praise the Lord..and as well the devil he as well is alive and very much well..so through this ordeal in my life..Amen!”

“So I learned how to pray..I learned what faith was truly about..and I came to a place as to where I don’t take my freedom lightly..not ever..Amen..that the freedom I have it is ‘TRULY’ a gift from my Father..and daily I thank Him for it..for being able to be free from depression..free from fear..free from being held by bondage..because the enemy would not leave this ole girl right here alone..so it took prayer and loads of it..it took reading God’s word..to speaking and declaring His word over my life..renewing my mind..Romans 12:2..Amen..and as I said now I am ever so happy..happy for this freedom..because how many of you know that freedom is not free..Amen..so what is your story?..because mine is different then yours..but they all have so much power in them..so don’t ever forget what all the Lord has done for you..because someone needs to hear it..someone needs to know..Amen..I believe that more than anything..so don’t be ashamed of your story..be open..be willing..and be honest..Praise the Lord..for I like to always say everyone has a story..so share yours..for our stories in our lives make us who we are for Christ..it gives us a humility and a compassion like we’ve never had before..Amen..for in the book of Revelation it tells us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimonies..Revelation 12:11..Amen..and as well in the book of Psalms it says that we cling to the testimonies..for we have inherited them..for they are joy to our hearts..Psalm 119:31/111..Amen..so just know that it’s yours..it belongs to you..it’s made you who you are..it’s your story..and what a beautiful one it is..Amen..so share and share on..I do ask and pray..in the name that is above every name..the name of Jesus’..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 ❤️
