Over and Over Again

On March 5, 2021March 5, 2021 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

There’s a T-shirt I’d like to get with a print of flowers and the scripture about God’s mercies being new every morning. (Lamentations 3:23) not just because it’s pretty, but because I like the reminder. Have you ever felt that you are never going to change? That the problems you are dealing with, or the …

Perseverance: Following the Thread

On February 26, 2021February 26, 2021 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

I am constantly amazed by God’s ability to lead me. Many times in my posts I acknowledge how he speaks to me, or brings things to my attention. Which is reassuring since I’m not consistent in giving him my attention. When I do, and follow the thread that is woven through my world, I discover …

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 …

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 …

When Troubles Come

On August 28, 2020August 28, 2020 By Sandy B.In God’s lessons4 Comments

Have you ever been in the midst of a stressful situation, wondering if you will ever make it through? Have you ever wanted to give up? Or punch someone? I wish I could say no, but that’s where my husband and I find ourselves now. As we go through this process of purchasing property to …

Fire

On August 7, 2020August 7, 2020 By Sandy B.In fire, thanksLeave 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 …

Decide

On March 27, 2020March 27, 2020 By Sandy B.In God, LightLeave a comment

As I pondered about what to write today, my mind kept going back to a teaching I was listening to in my studies this week. Not the whole teaching but the use of the word ”decide”. He explained it as de-side, or take away a side. My mom taught me to love the dictionary. Every …

Looking into the Dark, Looking into the Light.

On March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 By Sandy B.In LightLeave a comment

My journey this year has been life-giving. Each week I watch God bring new pieces of the puzzle for me to fit together. What at first seems random suddenly seems divinely intentional. I am in awe! The picture I posted for this was one I put together in 2018. I was learning a new perspective …

Perception

On February 14, 2020 By Sandy B.In Light2 Comments

The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light. Matthew 6:22 ESV Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light. Luke 11:34 ESV In biblical times testimony wasn’t considered factual …

Light

I believe this is going to be an exciting year for me! Last year was full of difficulty and sorrow. But at the end of the year I had hope. I enrolled in Flourish Writer's Academy and have already felt progress toward my goals as a writer. But this post is not about that, it …
