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!

The Battle is not Yours Alone.
Hello Everyone, Good Morning I have a lot to say today. Let us start off with this. 💌
It has been quite hectic here lately and we’ve been through many little and big issues. The most important thing is to hold fast to the word of God, stay strong, and do not lose faith! Especially when things seem unsure and answers are not to be seen. God has your best interest at heart and He knows best. One of the reasons I stand on –John 10:10. God wants us to have abundant lives. The enemy wants to separate us from God’s love and the enemy gets pleasure from seeing us suffer. That is why it is important to not get lost in the maze of chaos and strife. I know it’s extremely difficult and frustrating. Especially when you don’t feel like you matter or feel like you can’t get ahead. You may not see a way out of the struggles. You’re overwhelmed with stress and anxiety….. Yet I am here to remind you – Don’t get lost in the trials! Work on embarrassing the joys no matter how small they may be. If you lose sight of the good you are letting the enemy win if so. Yes, it is harder said than done but not impossible. Even if we have to do it many times a day. Giving it to God and letting go of what we cannot do or handle is important. It not only gives us peace when we do but it is also healthier for our bodies. Sure there may be ways we can fix things if forced. If we are stripped financially or broke in another way. Yet if we trust God we see and receive solutions we couldn’t even imagine.
“But Amy….. You don’t understand what I am going through.” You’re right maybe I don’t or can’t. I do, however, know how hard life can get. I have a long list of trials that I have survived and overcome. Time after time. I saw God solve issues and give miracles with my own eyes when I let go and let God take it into his hands. Even when I held onto them and solved them on my own. I can count in just the last two years. However, letting go and letting God gave me much better results than I could imagine more than my own imagined solutions. I am still waiting for some prayers. I know God is working on them still and I will see the results eventually because God has never left me. The fact I am still on this earth is proof of that.
I’ve learned there’s always something going on. How you choose to face it is what matters…. I have seen some of the strongest believers I know lose sight of God’s love and decide to follow trends and desires. They spend their lives seeking what they already had with God elsewhere. Sadly I watched them suffer turning their backs on God. I say suffer because The world and our desires don’t fill that void in our hearts and lives like Jesus does. even I turned my back on God once looking elsewhere for answers once. That is not the answer. I found more fear and hate than I would ever wish on anyone. God is Love which I will get into further down in this post.
God sent Jesus so we can have eternal life and live Abundantly. Not to live a life of fear. Forgetting who has our backs and. Our Father God. -1 John 4: 17-18 “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”
I truly believe that God made us all unique and we all have a purpose fults and all. When we accept Christ Jesus into our lives we become stronger and grow in ways that you may not understand. Being a believer doesn’t mean we won’t suffer. But we have tools others don’t. We have the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and our Father God on our side.
–Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Amen- and don’t forget ⬇️
-Romans 8: 26 – 39 King James Version⬇
26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory. 31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us the right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I know I’ve given you a lot of process but I also pray for you to have a sound mind, and one of wisdom, a spirit of fear…. But of love… Love is what keeps us going It is more powerful than fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. [ You can’t have self-discipline without a sound mind. ] Love is powerful and a blessing.
Next time you’re in a situation where you have fear, anger, stress, or something else. Ask yourself what verse should you stand on through this. Remind yourself that God loves you just as much as He loves Jesus…..
You can’t earn that love because He gives it willingly and freely!
You are important and special ❤️ What you’re dealing with matters to God just as much as what other’s are dealing with. Don’t compare yourself or your issues with other people because everybody has unique experiences and walks with God. You are unique and have value. Don’t dwell on your issues either find your footing and lean on Jesus because He is here for you always! I know easier said than done. It has taken me years of practice and still have times where I break down. I’m human after all – As are you… Don’t hold onto your faults Jesus isn’t – so you shouldn’t either.
⬇️One last thing you are not in this alone. Jesus is with you!⬇️
Why am I posting this here and not on www.DeeplyrootedInHim.net I felt the need to write early this morning around 1am. I was going through old drafts like I always do and I found this one from March. It was recent to my personal life and others around me right now. Usually, when I find a post like this I move it to Deeply Rooted in Him. But this time I felt led to keep it here for those who may not know God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit and I want to reach out to you who Question and are curious. My faith is a part of who I am. I am who I am because of the struggles I have overcome and grown from thanks to the Lord. I want you to know that He is here for you and Loves you just as much as He loves me. As stated above in 1 John; John 3:16, and John 10:10. Those aren’t just words, but a love letter reaching out to you. I am not just saying that. It is true, despite what you have been told or think You are loved and you have value and you matter! If you want Jesus in your life too all you have to do is ask. It is that simple!
Thanks for your time and I hope this helps you in some way.

My Heart Hurts
My heart hurts 💔 from all the killings & innocent children. I wonder why there is stricter protection at the schools & why don’t they not closely monitor or allow people who cause such crimes to roam free when they obviously had proof of being dangerous 🤔 They almost always say there were signs. If they see something suspicious why not check into it? I don’t want to be like other countries like Asia and Europe where they have cameras everywhere monitoring people all the time. Although maybe it is needed in schools? Maybe the Bible and morals should be taught more at home and in schools. God gave us “The Ten Commandments” for a reason. It is impossible to keep them all, especially without Jesus in our lives but it gives us a chart of what not to do.
Seriously it’s not about gun control it’s about the police and schools doing their job to protect the staff and students. Taking away guns won’t stop determined people who wish to kill. There’s plenty of other ways to do that. If one is set on doing evil they will find a way. So focus on vetting and upping security better?! What can the school teachers and such do that they aren’t now? I am not judging only God and they really know. But shouldn’t we all be asking?
All these mass and non-mass shootings not just at schools but at stores etc. They are pushing and causing havoc and are encouraging people to stay home and home-school their children. Two mass shootings within a week? They used to be so rare…. Now they are so often people don’t give them much thought. We not only live in a world in distress right now we live in a time where people are not held accountable for their actions and words. Asif it is ok to be mean and hurtful… We do not live in “The Hunger Games” although sometimes it feels like that. Especially these recent times and with the extra health debates and concerns more people are turning against each other. What can we do to help prevent these? I ask God that constantly. I am always praying for my loved ones and friend’s safety and my own especially during big holidays and events…… We shouldn’t have to live in fear? This is truly sad……… I can not imagine the pain these families are going through….. Especially knowing it could have been stopped…
It really doesn’t matter what side you are on Violence is never the answer in my opinion… If you are: Left, Right, Middle, Whatever the color of your skin is, or what faith you have… They are not valid reasons to kill over! The “faiths” that consider killing others is okay sickens me and shouldn’t exist!!! That is my personal opinion. Everyone has a unique way of thinking and their own personal opinions. That is what makes everyone unique & truly special! If we all thought the same life would be boring and lack color. Differences make life more … Full and Abundant!
PLEASE ❤️ Stop Hatred & start loving others despite their differences Everyone matters. I can not say that enough!! You don’t have to agree with everyone but Violecnece is not the answer! If you cannot agree then agree to disagree or just walk away. I have seen so many relationships and friendships end over fights started with differences of opinions that are valid yes. Everyone’s feelings are valid and important! It pains me to see these end over issues that I feel could have been resolved and the relationship can be saved with some kindness. Some love and some appreciation of everyone’s uniqueness go a long way! I know there are people out there who don’t believe that Jesus is Lord as truly as I do. I am not here to debate that today. I am here to ask you to share more kindness and love to others. I don’t share the same beliefs or ideas as some of my friends- we still love each other! When you value and care about people truly, their differences aren’t the reason to end the relationship unless the person intends harm to others and isn’t just venting. Our words and actions speak volumes. We are always being watched by others if we want to be or not we are setting examples and levels for those around us to live by.
Getting back on topic: Government – Christians – You – it is your job to stop promoting division and focus on bringing people together. THE BIBLE TEACHES STRONGLY ABOUT THE POWER OF LOVE & STANDING TOGETHER ❤️ THE GOVERNMENT was set up to protect & provide for its people, not personal agendas. That’s why we have the Declaration of Independence and the justice system was created.
It doesn’t matter if you believe Jesus lived & died because He loved you- John 3:16 Or if you believe in God at all, tho I hope you do. What matters is you treat others with respect, kindness & compassion. It is our job as believers to build others up and share Christ’s Love. Jesus loves everyone even tho He wasn’t happy about everyone’s life choices. We are not perfect, yet He died so we could be free from the darkness of evil. So that we could live a life full of life. John:10:10 Because every single life is precious & important!!!! We should work to resolve misunderstandings and save valuable relationships. We should work to spread kindness and end hatred. Learn to forgive more and not to hold grudges. They are poison more for you than for others. Proven to cause illnesses and harm more than good. It isn’t easy for sure that is why it is work. Don’t choose to be mean, angry, resentment, or violent. Words can do just as much harm as a physical attack… Be accountable for your actions and your words.! It truly takes courage to show compassion and understanding. To be open to listen and to love despite differences!
-my rant is done-
💕 I really appreciate you all. Your encouragement means a lot! God Bless You Today and Always! 💕
