Grace and Peace

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

I have been using Grace & Peace as my complimentary close on my blog for a while, and have used it on my emails for a long time before that. I had wanted to find something that would express more meaning than the usual closings: Sincerely, Best Regards, Love, and the Christian favorite — Yours …

Cherished

On March 12, 2021March 12, 2021 By Sandy B.In Relationship with GodLeave a comment

Recently I have been reading about life goals, purpose, and how to focus and refine smaller goals to fit the bigger picture. How to purge the distractions. I came up with my big picture life goal focus of communicating how we are cherished by God for my writing vocation, and cherishing my family and friends …

I Love Feeling Loved

On February 12, 2021February 12, 2021 By Sandy B.In loveLeave a comment

Yesterday was my birthday. I’m one of those people that unashamedly announce, “It’s my birthday today!” Then I soak up all the happy birthday wishes like a drug, craving the feeling that for one day a year, I am special. Then I wait for people to ask me how old I am, and if they …

What if…?

On January 15, 2021January 15, 2021 By Sandy B.In God’s lessonsLeave a comment

I had an epiphany yesterday. It all started as I sat down determined not to fall into my same routine. I began to journal my thoughts, giving voice to my frustrations between what my life is like and what I wish it were like. As I wrote, a question started forming in my mind, what …

I Eat The Cookies

On December 25, 2020December 26, 2020 By Sandy B.In God’s lessons1 Comment

After two days of indulging and knowing today would be more of the same, I mentally chastised myself for being unable to restrain myself. I thought over my year and my attempts to exercise and lose weight, and every other desire of mine to do better and be better, concluding I am unable to do …

Fire

On August 7, 2020August 7, 2020 By Sandy B.In 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 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 Giver

On May 29, 2020May 29, 2020 By Sandy B.In 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 …

Not So Contented

On May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 By Sandy B.In 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 …

Me, Amazed

On April 3, 2020April 7, 2020 By Sandy B.In prayerLeave a comment

This will not be a typical post. This was an amazing time in the word for me today and I just want to share it with you and issue a challenge to try this for yourself. I looked on YouTube for something to listen to while I did my Bible study. Listening to this: https://youtu.be/s-SR7Xc0yhM, …
