| So, I really have been mostly blogging on MySpace... I think I've converted. Sorry Xanga...... www.myspace.com/sandycohl | | |
| | The End Result | Okay, so... I should be getting ready for class, but here I go, processing my thoughts and all the cool things God is doing in my life.... God has been challenging me lately. Humility, especially in certain areas, has been my main focus. As the verse says, "He gives grace to the humble". We were talking in Bible study last Wednesday night about grace. We were discussing specific areas in our lives that we really need God's grace. Being totally transparent on-line with the possibility of ANYONE reading this, I can honestly say what my struggle is. I struggle with the area of "loneliness", specifically for a mate. I shared that I need God's grace in that situation, and I really need to be humbled, and shown that it is not MY cross to bear, it is not MY situation to worry about. It is through my realization of this need that God's grace can fully flow and manifest itself. My Bible study leader then shared a piece of advice that is priceless to me. She said that I should not focus merely on the "end result" (in this situation, it is being with my future husband). Instead, I need to have faith and rely on God that HE is working, and things ARE happening, even if I cannot see them. She said that I never know what God is doing behind the scenes. She related it to a race... I just see the finish line, but I can't be so focused on that and miss the hurdle that I must jump over. So, she encouraged me to look at what God IS doing, instead of simply focusing on what He is NOT doing (or so I see it...). So, in light of this amazing truth, I can honestly say that I am trying NOT to worry about it. The way I see it, I will be with the one I am supposed to be with no matter what. God is an awesome God, and HE has my future laid out. He has great and awesome plans for me. So, why should I worry about this one small area? God's also challenged me to stop trying to do it all myself. Instead of being the pursuer, He has told me to be the pursued. I tend to pick things up myself and make them happen, because God's timing certainly isn't fast enough for me. But He's challenged me to let HIM be God and to relax... He's got it covered. I know He is already at work in my future husband's heart, and for that I am truly thankful. I know that God will stir in him a love for me like no other. I know He is already preparing his heart for me, and I also trust that God, who created the Universe, will reveal to he and I that we are supposed to be together, at just the right time. Talk about magic! So, this may mean nothing to anyone else, but for me, this is my "reflection" and my life lessons up to now. Thanks for listening to my ranting. |

| To my future husband, who I love already: Wow, I cannot WAIT to meet you. I often daydream about meeting you, and being with you, but I know that no dream will even come CLOSE to the wonderful reality of really being with you! I try to imagine what you will look like, how you will be, and what our lives will be like, but I just can't do it. I know that God has shown me that you are going to be an AMAZING man. I know you will love God with all your heart, you will have a heart for ministry, you will love me unconditionally, and you will be a wonderful husband and best friend for me. I'm really anxious to find you. I wonder if you feel the same. Do you ever get impatient waiting for me? I'm certainly ready to be with you... but I also know that God, in His amazing timing, knows exactly where you are and when we will be together. So, until then my love, I cannot wait to find you.... wait for me. I will be with you soon.... I love you already! Love, Sandy (Your future WIFE!) | | |
| I hate that college is such a transitional time. There is not much that is "permanent" in life. I cannot wait until I can have a permanent place of residence, a husband, children, a steady job, a church home, etc. So, here is where I plan my future, to make myself feel better about the fact that not much in my life is permanent. House: 
OR 
Car: 
Husband:  Matthew MacFayden
 As Mr. Darcy
Ring: 
Dress: 
Hmm... guess this is partly me dreaming............................................... | | |
| Happy Valentines Day everyone! I love you all. 1 Corinthians 13 (The Message Bible)The Way of Love 1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. 2If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. 3-7If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first,"
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end. 8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. 11When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good. 12We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us! 13But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. | | |
