SOMETHING INSPIRING
I was going to post something insightful and inspiring….. Yet nothing is coming to mind.
A video I did end of June https://youtu.be/erWBFpcn7RQ?si=awyxG29CqOQiRWI0
I am tired and that’s ok. I’m human after all and far from perfect. That’s ok too. We all put to much pressure on ourselves. Pressure to not mess up; to not let anyone down, to be strong, to complete the to-do lits you have; to be successful in your tasks and passons; and most of all not to disappoint. We all get this way especially during the holidays. It is important to remember you’re just one person and it is ok to breathe and enjoy life. If you overwhelme yourself you’re putting your life and health at risk.
I know its not always a option to slow down but if you can make 15 minutes several times a day or even just 5 minutes to stop what you’re doing and just take time to take in your environment and life. Taking time to breathe. Then I believe that you’ll feel at least a little better throughout the day.
WHAT’S THE POINT OF LIFE if you are not taking time to breathe anjoy the life God gave us? Genesis 2:7
None of us want to have regrets and we all could use more faith. The Devil lies saying that we’re not good enough or not worth it ect….. Guess what? He is wrong!!!! The enemy doesn’t want you to succeed! John 10:10 But God does! Not because we’re perfect or we deserve it; because God loves us! So much so He gave us Jesus and The HolySpirit!
You matter and are loved!!! John 3:26; and 10:11 That’s whe God sent Jesus so we don’t have to stress over the stuff we can’t control we give our concerns to Jesus and trust them with him. Because lets face it we can’t do everything on our own. You’ll be surprised what God / Jesus and the Holy Spirit will and can do if you give up your need for full control. My life and family’s life are full of examples of Jesus’s mighty love and power and the differences becausewe let go and let God!
A video I did end of June after the last one above. https://youtu.be/BGxCkJLDcpA?si=uA6s2ZTCZJgW3Yls
Oh look at that. I guess I was wrong about having nothing to say 😅
You are loved! Life here is temporary we all move up or down at the end… according to the Bible, which I believe. however I pray that all you especially my loved ones and close friends will join me in Heaven one day whenever that time comes. Till then please don’t let relationships, or friendships die people are precious and you don’t have to agree with everything because it is impossible because we’re all unique. It takes courage work and time to build relationships with others. Don’t throw them out when things get hard or uou feel impossible instead fight for them and give them to God. Its not your job to handle everything. because being alone is much harder. IV’ve been there. Tho you’re not fully alone if you develop a personal reallationship with Jesus and accept him into your life. All you have to do is ask he’s waiting for you if you haven’t. Please don’t let the stresses of life or people to bring you down. Smile more evn if you don’t want to and eventually you will find reasons to smile!
I pray that you all have a blessed month and l am grateful for each and everyone of you especially those closest to me. You know that I am full of love ❤️ so much so it can get annoying. But I am glad God made me as me. I don’t want to be anyone else and neither should you. You are one of a kind !!!! ©️Amy Jane Sandberg
Ps You may see this post elsewhere and eventually on my website amyjanesandberg.com Although I still have not updated much or made many drafts public yet. I will. Right now, I’m just working on things I need to. I will get it done and work on my books a lot more next year!

Funny How Life Works.
Funny how so many things change throughout the years and some stay the same…….. It passes by so fast sometimes you forget to stop and breathe and enjoy life where you are at. You get lost in the stress and struggles that often come.
I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I am far from perfect. Honestly I have almost more questions than answers. I truly trust God because I know He cares. I don’t just say that. It is true! He’s been with me through ups and downs through miracles and trials. That’s why I continue to fight and strive for an abundant life no matter what I face….
I don’t give up easy and I strive to encourage to lift up people. Especially when you are close to me. Even when I am in the mist of struggles, there’s always a stuggle, and we’re called to pray for one another. -James 5:16
I believe in looking for the silver lining and prayer for God to make ways when the paths seem hidden. -Isaiah 43:19. I am far from perfect but I strive to grow, stay strong, positive and hopeful ☺️. I don’t want to live a life of fear or regret.
When I don’t understand or know what to do next I try to make the most of it even though it may be hard. I love with all my heart because that is how God made me. I believe God loves us all and gave us unique telents. Sometimes our talents / gifts can be overwhelming and annoying at times. That is why I believe that we should treat others how we want to be treated. -Luke 6:31
“So let’s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don’t give up, or quit. Right now, therefore, every time we get the chance, let us work for the benefit of all, starting with the people closest to us in the community of faith.” -James: 5:9-10
If we mess up we should say sorry. Think about how Jesus Christ treats us and how you want to be theated? I don’t hold gruges or unforgiveness because I strive not too. It is an act of my will. My choice. No one is perfect and fighting / disagreements are a part of life. I can’t say that enough. As long as theres no abuse or safety issues ask God how to work things out with the peoplewhoarein your life. If theres abuse and saftey issues ask God for wisdom and direction to get the help you need.
Please don’t let disagreements and diffrences harm relationships / friendships. Friendships, relationships, family, marriage, courtship is important…. Don’t let them just dissolve if there’s a way to fix them especiallyif there’s love ❤️!
They are precious commodities… We are called to fellowship and to build eachother up… We are not called to tear eachother down or cause drama. There was a reason God made Eve for Adam. -Genesis 2:22-24. He didn’t want us to be alone. We are stronger together then separated. History poroves this trure. ❣️
If you are alone physically you are not alone like you may feel…. Jesus Christ is always with you if you choose. I have countless stories and truths of that in my personal life. I have overcome more than I could or should have numerous times. From moving a sofa, to waking from a brain dead coma…..
Jesus came to bring Life and to bring it Abundantly no matter what the enemy throws at you. I have been looking back at the past as I do every April in reflection and deep prayer for the future. I am no where where I want to be tho I’ve done a lot, traveled a lot, and experienced a lot. I feel twice my age…. I have been struggling with stuff physically, emotionally, financially. And spiritually. I have been in a way stuk in a rut. Yet in that rut I’ve become stronger and wiser. As so you can be too. We can’t control others nor would I want to. The beauty of people is everyone is unique and different than you are. You can’t always control your life situations or finances. Yet you can control your own mind, choices and your words. Your words have power!
Please take time to look around and see the beauty surrounding you. Take time to pray and study the Bible if you choose to believe in God / Jesus and the HolySpirit. And most of all remember that you are loved, you matter and are treasured even if you can’t see it is true.
Have a great day and stay safe Strong and kind.

Don’t let fear keep you from Life.
Hello Everyone,
I wanted to share this with you. It has been on my heart for a while. I just haven’t taken the time to write it yet. It is an important topic for discussion…. I realize somewhere I got lost living in fear. I am not happy living there. It is not my normal residency either. I have no idea how long I have been here. A year? Maybe two?
Usually, I don’t live with fear. I live with the hope of the idea of: someday, somehow… I live by doing my best and having faith for the rest of it… Because one never knows what tomorrow holds. There are three ways to fail.
If we complain about what we don’t have, if we blame others for our own lack we won’t get anywhere. We can’t live with resentment, anger, or ungratefulness. Those are tools that hold you back. They let fear work its way into your life if its not already there. You also can’t try to live up to others’ expectations. It is impossible to be who they want and yourself. Just be yourself.
FEAR is a powerful weapon and enemy that strikes you at every chance. Fear of failure, missing out, not being noticed, not being good enough, fear of being forced, ect… You have to believe in yourself and know that you have a unique creative presence and purpose. One that only you have…
Life is short, you do not know what tomorrow holds. What will change, what may happen or not happen… There are so many possibilities and chances… You need to overcome the fear and put forth the effort. Work towards your desires, dreams, goals.
Don’t put off what you wanna do or where you wanna go, because you think you may fail, you have failed. With the thought, it may not work out… If you don’t try… If you don’t put yourself out there nothing will ever change! Simple as that! If you don’t put in the effort and let go of or overcome the fear you will never get your reach your dreams, desires, or goals…
I say this out of true love and from personal experience… Life Hard!!!!! I have put off some things I really wanted and then it was to beforehand have regrets… I don’t ever want to do that again… I don’t want to live with regrets or see anyone miss out on their dreams for lack of trying.
You have to do it for yourself! You deserve happiness… You are special, amazing, and loved!! Don’t be afraid. Fear keeps us from joy! From reaching potentials we may not even know is possible.
We may never be fully satisfied with our lives, but we can do our best and make the best out of what we have!!!
💕 I really appreciate you all. Your encouragement means a lot!
I hope you find your passion if you haven’t and stay safe!
God bless you today and always!

Hyrule Warriors Difinitive Eddition. Yes Please!
If it is like “Hyrule Warriors Difinitive Eddition” < only available via direct download now> I am totally psyched… I love all Zelda games 🎮
It’s hard to talk a video while playing one handed. But here’s the only one I can share right now. The others are on my memory card. Its way better than I expected and if you are an avid Link / Zelda fan you should get the game.
I think it will be a great game even tho there are locked maps. Yet the maps are big. Hyrule Warriors Difinitive Eddition is awesome and has a playable storyline with storytelling. This game unlike Hyrule Warriors Calamity <yet to come out>
This one covers all the Zelda stories supposedly up to BOTW. Of course in thier its own unique way. I gavevbmno complaibts so far. This game is awesome. The play able characters, the stories are top rate!!!! I’m so impressed with the graphics!!!
I expect Age of Calmmity to be the same or better. I think it will be way more complicated than the predicted 30 hours. Especially since it’s supposed to play like like Hyrule Warriors Difinitive Eddition and be like BOTW. Also locked maps are hinted, so probably not open an world game like BOTW…. However the maps in this game are still big even if locked! I keep getting lost.
Hyrule Warriors Difinitive Eddition -wich compileed all the previous Hyrule Warriors games together- is very story heavy… Especially the legend mode. So much so that you get annoyed if you have to replay a area. The cut scenes are long. After watching once tho you an skip. I love how it has a gallery tho where you can watch the cut sceens you’ve collected just like BOTW does. So I expect Age of Calmmity to be about the same.

In order to unlock playable aspects such as Fairies 🧚♀️ and other perks and game sections you have to play the Ledgend mode and the Advture mode. The Adventure mode is confusing to me but I’ll figure it out. It is where you get your fairy for ledgend modr and fairy food to level her up among other things. Also I found it really cool that you can rename your fairy!!! To me it makes it feel more like your story.
If you still arnt sure you want the game? Then you should check out this guy’s YouTube channel of his game play throughout the game.
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-7t9DoIELCTaNipmD-W5tJ727C7c1z0N
That is about all I have to say about this game. I adore it if you couldn’t tell. I highly suggest you guys get it from your swich shop. Hard copy cards are rare and double, maybe trippple the original price now. The game came out Christmas 2018, but I got it October 2019. Why did I wait so long??? By far it is one of my most favored games! And I am telling you this for free. It is also a great way to vent your frustration and stress….. You will be saving Hyrule and the rest of the Zelda lands!!!! Have a wonderful rest of the year. God bless you today and always, good night 😴

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2019
Hello All,
Christmas is my most favored Holiday of the year! This year and last year have been met with difficult times. They weren’t the only difficult Christmases we had. But we had a nice time. God is good!!
I often ask why the most sever issues in life come around during holidays? The answer I came up with is there is to much pressure to make the Holidays perfect. So please sit back, and enjoy the precious time you get with your love ones, if possible. and don’t fret the little mistakes. The badly wrapped gifts, the gifts you forgot to mail, the cooked meals. If you are alone then do something for yourself, make the day memorable, and enjoy it!! Everyone- Enjoy the little moments.
Every day is a precious gift given to us. Don’t let let depression, loneliness, or fear, keep you from finding the little joys in life. Dont wast anger and stress over things that shouldn’t matter bit focus on what does matter. Make the most out of what you are given and have and appreciate those and what you have in your life because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
The best gift you can give is Love and Support to one another. We are all waiting for someone or something. Don’t give up if it’s what your really want. Waiting is hard but while we wait we grow and learn new things about ourselves and our life around us. When the time comes and we achieve the goal at hand. It is better than ever imagine.
God bless you today and Always!

I am here…
I have been on the go the past few months. I now have time to write. I think I’ll be getting a lot done too. Even with the crazy holiday season halfway over… I’ve already done much of the heavy work. I’ve been helping dad fix the driveway. The tree roots are raising the driveway up, and since they want to keep the trees we’ve been redoing certain areas and leveling the driveway out. First by removing the old driveway, using a aircompresser chizzle, then digging under the roots so they go down. then proceeding with re-taring the area. My main job is to dig up and shovel the old driveway ect, and replace the gravel with him…. Then together blowing out the craks and caulking the them up all along driveway to the road. Dad even did sone of the road as well… I’m always learning new things when I help dad. It’s not perfect, but it works! We got so much done, just before it snowed. We started before I left and finished after I came back.
Also while I was gone dad started redoing the back bathroom. He removed the old linoleum flooring and flooring and removeing the old toilet. I came back just in time to help him add the new stuff. Tho really he didn’t need my help. Dad is doing so much better then he was. I am truly impressed with his recovery. God is so good! We make a good team. We don’t always get along but we both work hard. We got it done just before company came!
Now I’m just gonna write while I relax in my pajamas. Just because I can! 😆 Yay- a writer’s life! I will get back to my youtube vblogs, my blog, and do some Facebook group this week I hope! I have a few more important tasks first…
I will do my best to keep everyone updated so stay tuned! Don’t give up on your dreams or goals, any progress is still progress. So follow your dreams because you matter. Make sure you take time to breath and enjoy life too. My goal in life is tovspread joy and stop hate. I choose to be happy 😊 even when I don’t feel like it. Remember God supplies and miracles happen!I chose that book 📖 title for a reason!
Stay safe and God blesses you today and Always!!

Here I go again!
First off let me say sorry for not being on Facebook or any social media much in months. I just really needed some me time off line, and off the computer. I will be working on that tho.
Guess what? 🛩I am off on another adventure! I didn’t think I’d be traveling again. Especially so soon… 🚗 Wow! 🙉
I was asked to join my sister this time on her work trips. I will be away for about a month. I feel really blessed to be able to travel so much. I get to visit some of you and some new places as a bonus.🤝 Exciting right.! 🥳 I am overwhelmed and looking forward to it immensely. I left home yesterday and will be back sometimes mid November. I already miss my dog.
I also plan to take this opportunity to get some writing done. ✏🗒 I’ll have an abundance of inspiration 🤩 and some quality quiet time. I already spent six hours doing so today. It took a while but I finally got the equipment, I needed for my Mac. After losing my work due to update malfunctions, human error, and again for some unknown reasons… I’ve had a hard time getting into writting again. This time around I’m gonna be extremely overprotective of my work. 🔐 I am very determined to finish theses books! I think they will be better then before, because of the passion I have. I am putting all my heart into theses books. When they are done I hope you will enjoy.
Life is to short to let opportunities slip by. I wish I had done a lot of things differently. I did some really great things in my past so it’s not all discouraging… But I shouldn’t dwell on the past.🤭 I am who I am because of that past. I am pretty awesome too!😋 Thus, I am gonna be brave and not let fear hold me back from making the most of life. I will have courage and not hold back. I will trust God and make the most of what I have while working towards my dreams and goals. Remember- people are precious to me, especially those who I am close to. Just because I’m working on me doesn’t mean I’ll stop caring about you! 💕
👱♀️I feel I leaned a lot and grew in may ways on my last trip. I look forward to seeing the results and enjoying this one as well. I better get to sleep now.
Take care and be safe! God bless you today and always!

Don’t Sell yourself Out.
Don’t sell your self short! Be yourself~ I adore people. I am a pretty laid back person. I am usually cheerful, egar to help, and alwaus full of support. I’ve often been told that I can be quite annoying until a person gets to know me. I like just about everyone except, I have to draw the line at fake people. There’s a difference between being busy and being fake. I am very grateful to have awesome wonderful friends and rarely running across fake people. My word of advice is be yourself no matter what. There’s no one better at being you, than you being you. There is only one you and not everyone is gonna like you. Don’t change who you are, or how you think, to please others, because then you arn’t being true to yourself. God made us different for a reason. Life would be pretty boring if we were all the same. Smile and know you are awesome and special. #truth
