Mandy's Soul Food!

I wrote a poem the other day that I thought I'd share here. I'm adding it to my poetry book I'm writing as well. Here it is: God's Call God's call is for one and all, especially those who fall. God's call gives you a choice to obey, or to turn away. Some choices are hard, but end with a great reward. A reward that never fades likes a pair of shades. God's call is for good. Will you do what you should? The reward will be so great that I can hardly wait to start enjoying what I've missed since a serpent learned to hiss sweet nothings in the ear of one that God held dear. Since the fall, the world has been hell for all. Those who follow God have had a difficult path to trod. How much longer must mankind wait until we can see the pearly gate that awaits us at the entrance to a place that is the home of God's saving grace? God does not want us to fall, so we must heed the instructions when we hear God's call. Now I'm going to answer Unit 8's ...

The following two paragraphs are from my work in Experiencing God : Weekly Review Question: 7.

I wanted to share this particular quote because it made me think of the seagulls in Finding Nemo . Whenever a possible morsel swam by, the gulls would shout, "Mine, mine, mine!" over and over again until t...

Hello to all who may come here. My name is Mandy, and this is a site that I will be updating sporadically with anything spiritually that is happening in my life as I walk with God. I have been doing an Experiencing God Bible study on Friday mornings, and wanted to use this entry as a spiritual journal of things going on in that, and other Bible studies I may be taking. With the Experiencing God book came handouts. One such handout was on keeping a spiritual journal with a weekly review. We are on Unit 6 in the book, so the following questions will be the weekly review questions, and my answers to them. 1. What has God revealed to you about Himself? (His name, His character, His nature) God has shown me a lot of mercy, and love since I've started the Bible study itself. One such example of His mercy would be: One night when I was going to bed there was a dark figure floating over my bed, and an angel at the foot of my bed. The angel commanded the dark figure to le...
