”So last night one of my dear friends had posted this quote if you will..and it said this..The only person coming to save you is the version of you that is sick 🤢 of the current version of you!..Amen..and that has stuck with me and this morning that is what we’re all gonna talk about..that is what I’m gonna write ✍️ about..Amen..because that is the TRUTH..Praise the Lord..for people give advice..they try and give us wisdom..they try and help us to have a vision..they try to stir up something within us..and I can keep going on and on..but here’s the key 🔑 guys that truly unlocks the door 🚪 in all of our lives..and that is we ourselves have to be so sick and tired of who we are..what we’re doing..how we’re doing it..how we’re living..until we decide within ourselves that we are done ✅..Amen..no more are we gonna live like a mess..Amen..barely getting by..barely making it..living pay 💰 day to pay day..always starting over..always going right back around that same ole mountain 🏔️ so to speak..Amen!”

”So what I’ve come to say is this..Starve your distractions..Feed your FOCUS..Amen..and why do I say this well because each of us choose and do daily what each of us choose to do..does that make sense?..Amen..because where our mind and our thoughts are going that as well is the way our lives go..Amen..how about I write that again..because where our mind and our thoughts 💭 are going that as well is the way our lives go..Praise the Lord..for the scripture says as a man thinks 🤔 so is he..(Proverbs 23:7)..so my desire for us all is this..we wanna change our lives?..we wanna reach the goal that we have in front of us that somehow keeps getting thrown to the back burner of our lives?..we wanna get ahead?..we wanna get out of debt?💸..we wanna be free 🆓 true freedom in our lives?..we wanna stop 🛑 focusing on people and trying our best to get them to do something for us or trying our best to get them back so to speak or blaming them for our lives?..then this morning I am going to say this..Starve your distractions..Amen..and Feed your focus..Praise the Lord!”

”In other words..change the direction of your thoughts..when they are coming to distract you..to get you off key and off course from the vision and the goal that is there within your heart ❤️..that God our Father has placed there..Amen..because if not what happens is you will in a year from now be exactly where you are right now in your life..that’s sad huh?..but that’s truth..Amen..because if something is not changed..we keep going around the same ole obstacles..the same ole distractions..the same ole heartache and heartbreaks..the same ole arguments..the same ole disagreements..the same ole situations..the same ole sad story..Amen..because Jesus wrote our story in life..Amen..and the word of God says that I know the thoughts I think towards you..saith the Lord..thoughts of peace..and not evil..to give you an expected end..(Jeremiah 29:11)..Amen..so if we don’t help ourselves to change it up..to choose to stop the cycle..to break the chains ⛓️ in our minds..to renew our minds..(Romans 12:2)..we’re gonna stay in a mess in our lives..for our focus and our attention is everything on our part..not losing sight of what is important..what the goal is..what the dream is..what the hope of your future is..Amen!”

“So rise up..Amen..and choose to turn the channel..to do something different..to take a walk..to not say anything..maybe like starting over as a baby if you will..start somewhere..crawling if you must but don’t get distracted..feed your focus..place the thing or things as I say that you want to see come to pass in your life in front of your face daily..I wrote it last week..write it down and make it clear and run 🏃 with it..(Habakkuk 2:2)..Amen..so change your thinking and you will change your life..when you yourself follows through with the plan that you have personally..the life your wanting..when you put the work in..Amen..for faith without works is dead..(James 2:14-26)..again we all choose our hard in life but I pray we’re choosing the better hard more so than the worst hard in life..Amen..and that we are delighting ourselves in the Lord..for He will give us our hearts desires..(Psalm 37:4)..and that we are seeking His will and His way for our lives..(Isaiah 55:6-13/Matthew 6:33)..and that we are staying focused on our goals..that we are again starving the distractions..but feeding our focus..Amen!”

“And you know what happens?..change begins to happen..and one day you’ll look 👀 up and you will be exactly where you wanted to be in life..truly living your best life..Amen..for it has been said that it takes for mental and behavioral adapting 21 days but research 🧐 has shown that is a myth..it takes actually 66 days for behavior to become automatic..and 2-3 months to be less resistant to the new change..and it will begin to feel more like a routine for us..Amen..because we are all creatures of habit..so take it slow..start today..and give yourself at least 2-3 months to begin seeing improvement and goals..and dreams being reached..Amen!”

”For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & 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 ❤️
