Sandy's Pictures and Etc

Well now I can't complain about this.

2009-03-04T06:20:00.000-08:00

This is great, one little portion of my life turns out not so bad, not what I had in mind but definitely far better than I could have hoped.
Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)
⁵Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
⁶In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
This is one of the life verses of mine that I had to cling to like tie a knot in the end of the rope and hang on for dear life. But the life I live now is far from my dreams that I had even just 30 years ago and now I am 60. But it is better and yet I have far to go and I still have to cling to this verse and others at times. This one thing I know that I am not alone left to my own counsel or devises but I have a Savior, Friend, Father, Guide, leading, guarding, feeding, me on my journey in this my only life that has no end.
I love you all, Sandy

Hey!!! This is what I had in mind!!!!!!!

2009-03-04T05:37:00.000-08:00

I had this in my mind but NO I'm confused now. Since I am the one being worked on I have one thing in mind where my life is going but I don't know how to get there!! AAAAAHHHHAHHHHH!!!
THE ONE I ENTRUSTED MY LIFE TO, HAS A FAR GREATER PLAN THAN I COULD HAVE IMAGINED.
Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP)
¹¹For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.
Now this is thinking and planning outside my box, my imaginings, my wildest dreams and now comes my part to play....I have to trust, rely on, that He has my BEST INTEREST at the very center of His Being like He said. What I think my life should be may not be best for me so I trust...

Definitely mixed up!

2009-03-04T05:27:00.000-08:00

Very unpleasant, a beating that all ingredients are unrecognizable but the taste is not bad at all. One problem the end product it is not.
More stress and dividing and heat is coming still not pleasant and for a time this is my life.....

All in the mix!

2009-03-04T04:54:00.000-08:00

I have been thinking on this for quite sometime.

My life sometimes goes like this: a lot of things happen to me and taken individually they may or may not taste pleasant. There is a plan to have every item in contributing to make a completely enjoyable treat. But first there is going to be added stress to the whole thing and it looks like this....

Great News

2009-03-03T08:48:00.000-08:00

Today there is great news that good habits are not up to me alone to keep going!!!! I have a Father that gives me a gift or many gifts to me to make me into a person that is pleasing to Him and Me and goes along way to please others of the human and animal kind.
8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:8-10 The greatest Gift He gave me was His Son Jesus the Christ and He was given freely.
John 3:1616 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ( unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. Amplified Bible Read more in your own Bible.

Love, Sandy

I'm Back and I hope to write more often

2009-03-03T05:58:00.000-08:00

I think I will try some thing different. I tried Plaxo and didn't think I liked it but I am not use to it. So I thought coming back here. I get more words per comment. Is that not right. So I am trying all the new (not new) but exploring all the options. Like my g-son taught me, I am stuck in my ways and need to explore, and have some Fun and doodle.

So Here goes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all!!!!!!!
Sandy

Pets on Parade

I think Creator God liked variety, don't you?
This is just a little sampling of all the pics.
Will post more latter.
All of these are no bigger than the palm of my hand.
And many of them are no bigger than my thumb.

Double click on the picture and it blows it up and
you can see all the droplets of dew on it, it is like star dust on it.
Gorgeous.

Beautiful day on Monday Nov. 10, with all the rain the conditions are just right for them.
All of these mushrooms are on my friends property.

Great mini-vacation looking for great shots.
