GOD KEEPS GIVING US REASONS TO PRAISE HIM




Lately I have been asked, by alot of caring, interested people, "How are you doing Sandy?" Well, here's a quick update.
Over the past year I have been studying and practicing yoga, meditation, eating healthy food, feng shui, exercising, and praying. (more than I ever have in my life.) I have been alone alot this past year. Living in a strange place miles away from where I grew up. Just my cat, dog, and me in a small downtown apartment, somewhere - out here. No Greg (he was in NV), no mom & dad down the street, no kids (although I cried & beg for one I was losing.) No friends over the hill. Even though I was alone- I was never lonely. I have been right where I'm suppose to be.
I am so grateful that I have learned to "Let go & let God". Some days it has been hard. I want to be in control. Now, I just ask God to help me do thy will, instead of my will. I don't always do this, but I keep trying. GOD has been PREPARING ME, FOR MY LIFE , THE WAY IT IS- RIGHT NOW, AT THIS MOMENT. And he is still preparing me a place, and a way to get there.
I wake up, I get out of bed, I take a deep breath, I stand still, and I feel such gratitude for my life and the MANY wonderful blessings that surround me.


"I will praise Your name, for You have done
wonderful things."
Isaiah 25:1

I love the picture of you and your grandchildren! They truly are a blessing from our creator. And the scripture you posted is encouraging. Pslams 83:18 goes along with it.

You may have felt that you were alone at times but you are never alone. Your Heavenly Father is always with you and watching over you. In times of need HE does carry you and your burdens. I see those beautiful happy three blessings in your picture that you tell me about.
