Hold On To Hope

On April 2, 2021April 2, 2021 By Sandy B.In God, hope, miscellaneousLeave a comment

My concept of the post I was going to write was different than what I will write today. My title for this post came to me last Friday. I started looking up scripture references on hope, but I wasn’t getting the clear picture. It wasn’t until this morning when I had a Zoom call with …

Persevere

On December 11, 2020December 11, 2020 By Sandy B.In miscellaneous1 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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

If I Just Believe Hard Enough

On July 10, 2020July 10, 2020 By Sandy B.In God3 Comments

Three weeks ago I had an appointment with a neurosurgeon regarding my back. We discussed the possible treatment for my herniated disc. I have had surgery previously in 2001 and 2005, so I wasn’t looking forward to a third surgery. For the first time I was told that my body could heal on it’s own …

I’m Not Okay, You’re Not Okay

On July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 By Sandy B.In 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 …

The Four Realms of Influence

On May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 By Sandy B.In 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 …

Name It and Claim It?

On May 15, 2020May 15, 2020 By Sandy B.In God’s lessons4 Comments

 Do you remember this movement in the church? I do. I remember claiming things "in Jesus name" expecting the results for which I prayed. When I didn't see my prayers answered, I was sure I wasn't doing things right, or I didn't have enough faith. This week has brought this conflict back into my consciousness.My …

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 …
