Out of Control

On September 11, 2020September 11, 2020 By SandyIn God, miscellaneousLeave a comment

Out of control, that's how I'm feeling today. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm currently staying with my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, having evacuated due to wildfires. I'm pretty confident my house will not burn down but the air quality was beyond breathable. Even here it is heavy with smoke. My poor dog is …

Fire

On August 7, 2020August 7, 2020 By SandyIn miscellaneousLeave a comment

On August 30th, sometime around 10 or 11 pm, my son and his two roommates’ mobile home burned to the ground. The fire destroyed four vehicles, plus an ATV, a motorcycle and a boat. And most heartbreakingly, took the life of my son’s dog, Jaxson. When you face stormy seas I will be there with …

I’m Not Okay, You’re Not Okay

On July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 By SandyIn miscellaneous1 Comment

I’ve been married to this man for over 43 years. We have had quite a rollercoaster ride with many high highs and some difficult low lows. Our relationship has grown to be stronger through it all. I have learned that it is easier when just one of us is going through a rough patch at …

Head in the Clouds, Feet on the Ground

On June 26, 2020June 26, 2020 By SandyIn miscellaneous, Relationship with GodLeave a comment

A Little Bit of Heaven on Earth As I began to put my thoughts together, very appropriately for my topic today, Jeremy Camp comes on singing his song, Keep Me In The Moment. My husband and I are in the process of purchasing this property, pictured above. We are talking with a builder and trying …

For he sows seeds of light within his lovers, and seeds of joy burst forth for the lovers of God!Psalm 97:11 - TPT Today is full of anticipation and anxiety as I await on a couple of answers. As I thought about this post, I began to see the number three showing up in my …

The Giver

On May 29, 2020May 29, 2020 By SandyIn God, miscellaneous2 Comments

As a mother of 5, I have received my share of gifts. Some I have treasured and some I have wondered how I could return them without hurting feelings. Sometimes I wondered what my child was thinking when they got me a particular gift. Other times, I would get what I wanted. Sometimes, it would …

The Four Realms of Influence

On May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 By SandyIn God’s lessons, miscellaneous1 Comment

Today I am writing from a place of pain and disappointment. Not a place I want to be. I would much rather be in a place of joy and victory. Nevertheless, I can always find my faith at work, because God is always working even when I don't see or feel it. Where is my …

Not So Contented

On May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 By SandyIn depression, miscellaneous2 Comments

I am humbled and quieted in your presence. Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap, I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you. Psalm 131:2 TPT If I'm being honest, I truly thought this time would bring me into a closer relationship with God. I had thought all this …

We Are Not Crushed

On February 21, 2020 By SandyIn light, miscellaneous1 Comment

I wondered if I would be able to tie this post into my study of light and then I came upon this scripture. For God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the …

If you have to have a rainy day on your trip to the coast at least have a rainbow. 🌈 And sunbeams. And elk resting in a field. And someone you love. ❤️
