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!

Three weeks after…
Hello there,
Firstly, I did a faith Video blog just before my doctor’s appointment today for those of you who are interested.
Good news is everything seems good except but my blood is good so far. As I mentioned before because of the new medicine they are concerned about my PT/ INR levels. (A prothrombin time (PT) is a test used to help detect and diagnose a bleeding disorder or excessive clotting disorder; the international normalized ratio (INR) is calculated from a PT result and is used to monitor how well the blood-thinning medication (anticoagulant) warfarin (Coumadin®) working to prevent blood clots and strokes. My blood has been too thin. Which can cause internal or external and excessive bleeding, especially if I get injured.
If you are not taking blood-thinning medicines, such as warfarin, the most normal range for your PT INR is “0.8 – 1.1”. My level range to prevent stroke should be between “2.5 -3.5”. However, it has been ranging between “6.4 – 10 something”. The finger prick machine only reads up to “8 or 10” on average. I was as high as “12” in the hospital. Another thing that complicates issues is I’m allergic to heprin/wafarrin. That means if I’m given those my blood clots right away. It is super rare so I’m told, but it is also hereditary. Dad is allergic to those too. But at least he doesn’t need them like I do. I have to have Coumadin / lovanox shots only.
Having taken that into consideration they told me it was better to have high INR vs low while testing for my new meds. Since I’m specally complicated they decided to put me on Metropol like my dad. What I can be on is extremely limited because of the blood thiner allergy.
I am home and have been home from the hospital for three weeks now. It has been two weeks since they changed my dose from 25mg to 50mg. The only options to thicken my blood are:
🔹️1. Take a pill that costs me up to $600.00 out of pocket since my insurance won’t cover it.
🔹️ 2. Go get a vitamin K shot at the Emergency Room. Which may take a couple hours.
🔹️3. Eat things with vitamin K in it. All theses years I knew certain foods were good for thining, and thickeing tbe blood. I just didn’t realize there were two types of vitamin K. (https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/vitamin-k1-vs-k2) . For example, Spiange would be a great source of the right Vitim K. Yay! That also saves me a ton of money which I am quite limited on right now.
🔷️ My Doctor decided the shot was Would be dangerous, it may thicken my blood too much. He decided to have me to hold off on taking my medicine for a few days and eat some spinach (I Love Spinach!!! It is my most favored Veeige, no Joke!) and to be re-tested Monday… So that is the plan!
Also For those of you who also follow Deeply Rooted in Him and our Vlogs, I also did a new post there. http://deeplyrootedinhim.net/2019/08/11/that-did-not-go-as-i-planned
Besides all that medical stuff I am really cleaning out my apartment, catching up on my writing, my paperwork, websites, blogs, and Youtube channels… I have a lot to do but it is getting done. I am glad to be alive and getting the chance to continue working on my dreams and goals even when faced with trials and setbacks. I can not begin to express my gratitude to all of you who support me and encourage me and stand by me despite all that!

Two weeks later…
I had my second follow up with my primary doctor. After going from 25mg last week to 50mg of Metropol I’m doing much better. Yay! The only issue now is my blood is too thin on the new medication. We will work on that and I’ll be re-tested next week. Fun! Thank God it’s only a finger prick. I feel so blessed that I am doing much better and my situation wasn’t worsening. I know so many of you out there have rough lives, much harder than mine. My heart breaks for you and my prayers go out to you!
I’m finally over the sinusitis, which was a pain without antibiotics… Yay- for a stronger immune system tho! I’m still having a little energy issue… Partly because it is so hot and I’m not sleeping so great still. I miss air conditioning! Summer heats are always draining for me. Even my dog is drained… But at least my heart rhythm is good. As well as my blood pressure and pulse! Praise God! All this excitement has got me out of the house more and talking to people again. It is good to feel good!!
I’m getting back into the swing of things, working on my websites, books, and apartment more. I am reconnecting with friends. Along with adding more lets play The Sims 4 vlogs. I’ve been reluctant to mention them because to me It is just a hobby. My way of practicing talking to people while having fun.
(You can find the links at Twitter Amyjane27)
I will also do a personal vlog soon. I meant to do one today but my errands took longer then I thought they would. I am new to video blogging. I prefer to write, but after all my computer technical issues with my books… I found vlogging is a good way to take notes as well as communicate with people. You can find my personal vlogs on DeeplyRootedInHim.net on our YouTube channel only. Since I openly talk about my faith in Jesus there. Here, I try to keep you updated and talk about life without preaching as some say. I have a vlog Channel set up for this web page but the only video there’s the one from authorpalooza a couple years ago. Eventually, I’ll share the link for it here.
Anyways, thanks everyone for your support and encouragement! You all inspire me to be a better person and to work hard!

I’m back… I did a Vlog.
Hello Everyone!
It has been a while. I know I missed you. Did you miss me? I have been taking a break from the online world for the most part. Other than some side projects, which I will get into later. I have been really bad and been on facebook more than this blog. I have a lot of backdating to do. (meaning I need to move things I wrote here.) Let us be real. There is a lot I need to update and change here and elsewhere. I know not everyone uses Facebook, Instagram or social media. Thus, I will be working a lot on that and my books.
Moving on to the point of this post, I did a vlog! A video blog… I have been practicing with a side project which I will tell you about next time. Right now tho I would like to share this with you. This came from my heart and was really personal. It took several tries to finish and I was really nervous. Here it is from the other blog and ministry I am doing with people:
DeeplyRootedInHim.net
Every year or on my other blog I reflect on my life and I write about the growth I have been through. This year I decided to do something different based on the ministry we are getting off the ground. I did my third official Vlog, where I am on camera speaking to you all. I was really nervous. I pray that me stepping out in faith really bless you all. I love you! You Matter! Don’t forget that…
Here are the references she mentioned in the video.
