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.

2014

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.

2017

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….. 

Me 1993

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.

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. 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 😴

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!!
