Is My Worship More Than Just a Song?

On October 15, 2020October 16, 2020 By Sandy B.In Relationship with GodLeave a comment

Yesterday, we had a break from our gray skies. I decided to take advantage of the sun and go for a walk. It wasn’t a long walk, just down the street with not much to see. So I turned on my phone figuring I’d get one song in before I’d reach my house again. I …

Acts 17:28 (ESV) Over the past few years, I’ve been uncovering a mysterious power. It is the power of in. For such a small word it has made a big difference in how I perceive my identity. This little word is so vast that I am still learning its reach. Even this blog post will …

You've all heard the saying, ”God works in mysterious ways.” What does that mean, exactly? Does it mean he's unpredictable? Does it mean he is like a riddle? Merriam-Webster defines mysterious as: exciting wonder, curiosity, or surprise while baffling efforts to comprehend or identify. Whereas, Oxford Languages defines it this way: difficult or impossible to …

October-Fast

Last week I posted in a side note, about paying attention to what the Holy Spirit might be planting in your thoughts. Well, he also prompted the idea of October-Fast twice into my thoughts before I decided I should mull it over. Here's what I came up with: Set-September: Set some goals, set on a …

The Battle Is Not Yours

On September 18, 2020September 18, 2020 By Sandy B.In battles, GodLeave a comment

I'm writing this in the middle of a battle. This week I began to wonder if I was meant to keep fighting or surrender. What I'm beginning to comprehend is the importance of understanding the full meaning of God's promises. One promise is that the Holy Spirit will remind me of what Jesus taught. As …

Out of Control

On September 11, 2020September 11, 2020 By Sandy B.In control, God, UncategorizedLeave 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 …

Rule Breaker

On August 21, 2020August 21, 2020 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

When I woke up this morning I had this thought, I was a rule breaker. How can that be? I have always considered myself a rule follower. I’ve even described myself to other people as a rule follower. But it seems the Holy Spirit wanted to point some things out to me. I’m using the …

Performance Anxiety

On August 14, 2020August 14, 2020 By Sandy B.In anxietyLeave a comment

Knowing today was my allotted day to write my blog, I spent all morning avoiding it and playing mindless games on my iPad. I knew what I was doing. I knew what I was thinking. I wasn’t happy with myself. I was allowing my thoughts to come against me. I was judging my value based …
