Enjoying the Journey

On January 22, 2021January 22, 2021 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

With ground breaking on our beach property and a new year to plan for my writing goals, I have so much on my mind. It becomes difficult for me to push past the overwhelm and decide on a direction to progress in. When I sat down to put down on paper what my vision and …

What if…?

On January 15, 2021January 15, 2021 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

I had an epiphany yesterday. It all started as I sat down determined not to fall into my same routine. I began to journal my thoughts, giving voice to my frustrations between what my life is like and what I wish it were like. As I wrote, a question started forming in my mind, what …

Affirmations for 2021

On January 8, 2021January 8, 2021 By Sandy B.In writingLeave a comment

Today was the beginning of my new year with the Flourish Writers Academy. I am so ready for this since the last month found me procrastinating as far as my writing was concerned. In preparation for our virtual retreat I worked through the first few pages of the planning guide, arriving at the page where …

I Eat The Cookies

On December 25, 2020December 26, 2020 By Sandy B.In God’s lessons1 Comment

After two days of indulging and knowing today would be more of the same, I mentally chastised myself for being unable to restrain myself. I thought over my year and my attempts to exercise and lose weight, and every other desire of mine to do better and be better, concluding I am unable to do …

Persevere

On December 11, 2020December 11, 2020 By Sandy B.In one word1 Comment

Last week I shared the scripture I will be adopting as my theme for 2021, stating I wasn’t sure what one word would be the focus for me. Sunday, as I sat in church, the word became clear to me. To tell you the truth, I wanted to reject it and pick another word. The …

Press On

On December 4, 2020December 4, 2020 By Sandy B.In one word1 Comment

Every year in December I spend time considering the new year and what the Lord is speaking to me. This practice of having a one-word focus and a scripture to support it, has blessed me for the past few years. My words have been: rest, trust, and light. This year’s word, light, seemed so much …

Remember November

On November 28, 2020 By Sandy B.In blessings, thanks2 Comments

This month I posted each day something I was thankful for on my blog’s Facebook page. I still have two days to post but thought I would share here what I’ve done so far. Integrating gratefulness and thankfulness into my day has shown me how blessed I truly am. I may continue this through next …

Stalled

On November 20, 2020November 20, 2020 By Sandy B.In lifeLeave a comment

Photo by Polina Kovaleva from Pexels Do you ever feel stalled? I guess that’s quite a ridiculous question in 2020. COVID has put a hold on so many of our normal activities. But what about this feeling seeping into activities that should still be happening or are still happening? For me that’s writing. Next week …

I Have No Friends

On November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 By Sandy B.In depression2 Comments

Over the last week, I have been spiraling down. My thoughts, becoming more negative. I began to question why I am so open about my health and my struggles, posting my life on Facebook and this blog for everyone to see. The answer I gave myself was - I have no friends. Most people would …

The God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego

On November 6, 2020November 6, 2020 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

Today I faced a situation I was hoping not to have need of facing. After healing from my third back surgery in late July, I started to have increasing pain over the last month. Finally giving in to the reality of it, I made an appointment with my doctor. On my way there this morning …
