“Our whole lives has always been molded by parents, family, friends, pastors, teachers, experiences..our jobs, our marriages..everything in this life has molded us..everything we see..everything we do..everything we’ve been through it has molded us into everything of who we are..Amen..and I thought about it this morning and I thought about my life..and the experiences of them and all that I’ve had that has influenced me and taught me many things along the way..some things not so good..and yet some things have been amazing..Amen!”

“But as well I was thinking about the way we think about ourselves..and the image that we have of who we are..or even who we think we need to be..and we mold and have molded our lives around others and what they’ve said is right and wrong..and the way we live out who we are..but some things in life we have too weigh out in the molding and in our thinking process..because a lot of things that we’ve been molded into is not good things..not good mindsets..not good thinking really about who we are..and the person in whom we are..and those things are the things that need to be broken off from us..sometimes I think the Lord places us on that potters wheel of life..(Isaiah 64:8/Jeremiah 18:1-9/Ecclesiastes 13:33)..just so He can push certain things away from us..and press in new things..new ideas..new thinking..(Romans 12:2)..Amen!”

“For I feel that to be able to move on and move forward into the next stage of our lives..we have to cut away or prune away certain things that are not things that need to be on us..(John 15:2-6)..and sometimes as I say the Lord places us there on that wheel of life and He begins to show us who we are in Him..and shows us who we are to our families and friends..and shows us who we are as a person..as mom and dad..everything..because sometimes we get used to us..and who we are..until the Lord begins to renew us in one way or another..which is a good thing..Amen!”

“Because I always say no one sees themselves truly for who they are in life and the person they truly are until life happens..and responses happens..and situations happens..and circumstances happens..than we see us and the person that we’ve been molded into..and at that moment in time is the time we have to behold ourselves in that mirror that the bible speaks of..(James 1:23-24)..and there we weigh out what God says and what we’ve been taught and molded into..and there is where change happens..and growth happens..and life truly begins to happen..Amen!”

“So if today by chance you are on the potters wheel of your life..or the Lord is pruning you a bit..I pray you remain there and let the Lord do the work that’s needed to be done..no it’s not fun..it’s not easy..it’s pretty tough to say the least..but I tell you the reward and the benefits afterwards is worth every ounce of it..so today be open to the Lord and His correction..and know and always remember that whom the Lord loves He corrects and chastens..(Proverbs 3:12/Hebrews 12:6)..Amen..let us, let Jesus have His way and mold us and make us into everything that He needs for us to be for Him..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
