My Mission
 When
experiencing life here on earth for my first fifty years, I have
always stayed to myself with regards to my personal history. I
was always embarrassed of my past. Especially the fact I had
lost my mother at age four. As I have traveled the journey I
decided to make, with my Lord and Savior, I have changed my
perception of my losses and now see them as gifts.
This took much acceptance to embrace the losses in my life and
there were many steps I had to go through before I could. I
discovered through my journey, that it is not about me on earth.
It’s about what the Lord has put me here to do for Him. You may
find you’re going through some of these steps right now. It is a
process not to be rushed.
I always have said “I don’t want to sit on my veranda”, which I
don’t have, and say “wish I would have…” There is nothing I ever
wanted to do that I haven’t done. Except tell my story to those
who can benefit from it. To share, especially with women, my
heart and life experiences so they can have hope. This is why I
have written this book and why I speak to women. I’ve always
wanted to serve the Lord in His way and I’m on my way. I give
Jesus all the glory.
 I experienced the natural process and stages of grief and loss.
I lived in Denial (shock) most of my life, then I became a very
Angry person (toward self and others, mine was never toward God,
however, it can be), then I started Bargaining with God
(everyone knows how to do that, then came Depression, that’s
where I lived most of my life (sorrow, sadness, etc.), until
finally I accepted (Acceptance) my cross to bear and use for
good.
It took a very unhealthy time in my life to realize the words I
was hearing “write the book” were not mine but the Holy Spirit.
I pray, with this book I am able to reach those who are not far
behind me in the process and shed light and hope. I say to you
my reader, thank you for taking me along on your journey. May
God’s light shine where your feet are to walk.
Blessings, Sandy
