Friday Faith

On September 4, 2020September 4, 2020 By Sandy B.In faith, God4 Comments

I want to thank my readers for allowing me to sort through my faith in this blog. Each Friday post provides me with a way back to God. So often during the week I am submerged in life’s overwhelming ocean of disappointments, challenges, and stresses. Here I find my anchor as I gaze back onto …

A few Sundays back our worship leader was filling in at church while our pastor took vacation. He spoke about the Holy Spirit and trusting what He is speaking in our spirits. He also communicated he felt like that day would be a turning point we would remember in days to come. I took this …

Possessing the Harder Faith – Second Thoughts

On December 17, 2013 By Sandy B.In faith1 Comment

Have you ever heard about how you shouldn’t pray for patience because you might just get your answer? I’m feeling that way right now. As I attempted to pursue the challenge of understanding the faith gained by trials, it has basically stalled my desire to sit and write. Which one of you believes the statement; …

Thanksgiving Update

So in my previous post, Sometimes, No Matter; I Invited you to check up on me after my hysterectomy. I will tell you I questioned my decision right up to the time I went in for surgery. I want to tell you my doctor, nurses, and hospital staff were absolutely wonderful. The guy who admitted …

Possessing the Harder Faith – Intro

On November 22, 2013 By Sandy B.In faith, God, prayer4 Comments

Wouldn't it be easy to believe in God if every time we prayed we would have immediate results? Like: “Heavenly Father, I’m short fifty bucks this week” – and Bam! - we go to the mailbox and sure enough we have a note from Aunt Chrissy, saying, “Here is fifty bucks. I just knew you …

Dark Caves, Deep Holes and Hidden Treasure

On November 14, 2013 By Sandy B.In encouragement, faith5 Comments

It scares me to think of diving into old mistakes, (Dark Caves,) and opening old wounds, (Deep Holes.) But as I thought about what I've learned, (Hidden Treasure,) I began to see more clearly where my passion lies. What I have is a treasure trove collected from this journey of life, and a heart to encourage others. …

Trust Is Not Blind

On October 11, 2013 By Sandy B.In faith, fear, poem, trust1 Comment

I held fear before my eyes 'Til all I saw was my demise Anxious thoughts scratched and clawed And tore my face away from God. For man may come to cut and take But will I allow my faith to shake? Nothing can separate me from the One Whose love shines stronger than the sun. …

Giving In to Tears

On October 7, 2013October 7, 2013 By Sandy B.In faith, God, trust2 Comments

My mind is struggling with putting down the words to describe my conflicted reasoning. It seems I have come up to face a paradox of faith: Trusting in God while trying to make sense out of my troubles. Trying to determine what it is I should be doing, is not always a clear and concise …

Finding Encouragement

On August 24, 2013 By Sandy B.In encouragement, faith, hope, peaceLeave a comment

I've doubted myself for so long, I don't know how to act any differently. But, that doesn't mean I can't learn! In this season of my life, my kids are grown, my marriage is strong, and my work is - well it's just work. So now I can finally "grow-up" in the sense of "What …
