“I have, and I am coming to the realization that we will fall in life. We will get off course. We may even, at times, lose sight of the plan or vision that was once right before our eyes. Health problems come. Finances become a mess. Death can even come knocking at the door of your personal life. Truly, life in and of itself simply happens, and at times we have no choice but to endure what comes our way.

For sometimes all we can do is hold on, do our best to get through it, and make it through the ride. For life is kind of like a roller coaster. You get on the ride, and it jerks you, spins you, takes you up really high, and then swings you down really low. And you have no choice but to sit there and do your best to enjoy the ride. Some say the ride is fun. Amen. Others think not so much. Amen.

But our choice in how we go through it is everything. Amen.

For life will take you out if you let it. It will throw one stone, if you will, and no sooner have you ducked that one than another finds its way to your doorstep. Amen.

So what I want to say to us all this day is this: Whatever we do, I pray that we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, and refuse to give up. Instead, let us get up and not stay stuck in life, no matter what has happened or what may be happening in our lives right now. Amen.

I pray that you shake it all off every bit of it. Amen. That you keep moving. Keep climbing. Keep going. Keep chasing. Keep pursuing. Keep pushing. Keep hoping. Keep dreaming. And more than anything else, keep loving. Praise the Lord.

For the Bible says that we are not to grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap if we do not faint. (Galatians 6:9). Amen.

And we must also understand, just as Paul proclaimed,

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13–14). Amen.

For even Joshua spoke boldly, saying,

“Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.” (Joshua 1:9). Amen.

And yes, it says that a righteous man may fall seven times, yet he rises again. (Proverbs 24:16). Amen.

So I pray we all understand that we are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:37). And that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. (Philippians 4:13). Amen!

So If this is you today. I pray that you pick yourself up and dust yourself off, understanding to whom it is that you belong too. And that you move forward, climbing the mountain before you with confidence, honor, and dignity, knowing that God is for you, God is with you, and God has a beautiful plan for you and for this life that He alone has blessed for you to live. 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 ❤️
