You Are in the Eye of The Storm!
Two nights ago, The LORD spoke clearly to me, “You are in the eye of The Storm and My Eye is on you.
Just as My Eye is on the Sparrow, I AM always watching you. I AM The Peace that passes understanding in your storms, spiritual and physical.
Peace is what carries you through the storm and becomes your identity in the world who only sees chaos.
As the dark clouds form and darkness comes, keep your eye focused on Heaven’s Gate, and your light shall burst forth filling your whole body full of light , for I AM in you always even to the end of the earth,” says The Father of Light.
Just as I received this, The LORD reminded me that yesterday I saw the sun shining through the stormy heavy rain and He quietly spoke, “I AM here with you. Continue to STORM Heaven for a downpour of refreshing, as the storms continue to announce heavens authority on earth,” says the Creator.
“As the rain continues to nurture the dry land, you will begin to see the parched ground become ‘good ground’ for harvest.
Know that this is a picture of how thirsty the masses are for truth and how intentionally I AM preparing my End-time Church for the outpouring of My Spirit, and the gathering of an overflowing Harvest, like the world has never seen before.”
We are all on a mission, and we each one individually and corporately have a mission to fulfill.
As I pray for my city, my state and my country, I always include The Nations. Not only the 18 Nations that I was privileged and blessed to go and share Jesus, but all of The Nations of the world that we would someday be ONE Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
As I returned from a mission trip to China, where I was blessed to work for a short time with the underground Church, one of my supporters sent me this poem that I would like to share with you as you seek The LORD and pray for The Nations, for Unity, Protection, and Salvation.
I do not know the author. It said ‘Author unknown’.
Spoiled for the Ordinary
“I just want you to know
__working in missions has ruined my life.
Seeing a devastated world has ruined my personal agenda.
__Seeing JESUS…..has robbed me of my rights,
____my interests, my ambitions.
I am left
__Spoiled for the Ordinary!
Ruined for an average and comfortable life,
__Deprived of the right to complain,
____to indulge, to live independently.
Desperate for His Lordship and Glory.
To truly see, and hear, and feel
__the heart of Jesus
must leave one radically altered.
__My heart is permanently damaged
It is….. spoiled for the ordinary!
My heart bursts with gratitude, O God!
__You free me from my shallow, selfish world,
Stretch the smallness of my heart,
__Swallow me up in Your Life,
____Your Fullness, Your Purpose.
Guard this work, O God.
__May I be forever spoiled for anything less than
____Your Great Heart and Your Glorious Kingdom.”
To God Be the Glory! Great Things He Has Done!
No matter how small you see your part, ‘it takes a village’ as the saying goes. Little is MUCH when God is in it.
The LORD is saying to you today, ”The fields are white unto harvest. Are you willing to answer the call?
I AM gathering the workers to sow into the harvest.
I AM gathering the family of God. My eyes are searching all across the land for those who are called to fulfill My Plan.”
Beloved, I keep hearing the words to this old song whose words ring so true in this day.
May The LORD speak to you personally. We all have a part to play in this Holy Move of God that we have only talked about.
Fear not, it is happening!
Little is Much When God is in It

Dear Mariehet Lombaard, Thank you so much for your input. I love reading everyone’s story. What a great testimony. He is so faithful. To God be the GLory, beloved, He is always watching over us. I am so blessed that you had a good witness to His words. Sincerely, Sandi Holman
Thank you Sandi for this comforting word from the Lord. I am so blessed by reading this poem also. God bless you immensely and yours.
Dear MF, You are so welcome. I have always loved that poem as well. I receive your kind blessing with such gladness as I am recovering from a surgery on my ears today. God is so good. May you always be ‘spoiled for the ordinary’. Sandiu
Thank you Sandi!
Concerning this word, my whole insides say Yes Lord! Your Word, Your Will, Your Way!
Thank You Jesus!
Thanking God with you, Marc. He is so good! He is always with us!
Many blessings to you! Never stop storming the heavens! Sandi
Dear Cynthia, I am forever grateful for your blessed heart. Our God always steps down in the storm with a rain of His presence that cleanses and refreshes. Thank you for sharing, Be blessed, Sandi Holman
Beautiful Word, Sandi! Listening to the song now. Ahh the times in earlier days we used to sing that song in a church I was in. Thank you my precious sister and friend for the repost. ❤️
Yes, my friend, Joyce, there are many older songs that seem to express the goodness of God that we often overlook in this hour as we witness the violent trauma designed to cause us to tremble in fear of life itself in today’s world. Thank you for your input. Love you! Sandi
My heart is permanently damaged
It is….. spoiled for the ordinary!
So well expressed, Sandy! Though I only worked among the poor and the Gypsies in my Teenage years, evangelized on the streets of our Nation with Teen Challenge or other Missions, went to Bible School for 3 Years, reading the reports and wonders in the Bible, has „spoiled me for the ordinary“ alone!!………..China experience must have left an unforgettable impression on You!
Yes, dear Dorothea, the words of that poem express so well how the Lord stretches the smallness of our heart to forever change us for the ordinary and somehow HE swallows up the shallow self centeredness of the world’s influence and fills us with a grateful heart. Oh, what a savior and friend. I also worked with Teen Challenge in the US. Thanks so much for the pieces of your story you have shared with me over time. God somehow prepares us and equips us with steadfastness for the places HE sends us and the people we are blessed to meet and one day we wake up and with eyes wide open, exclaim, Oh my God, thank you..I shall never pass this way again. You have written eternity on my heart. God richly bless you my sister, keep standing! xoxo Sandi
I love your interest and loving heart for people, Sandi!! Your are truly reflecting the character of Jesus when I read what you receive, share and in your responses here. This is like a balm for many hearts….!
We desperately need comfort in these times from other brothers and sisters!
I hope and pray that soon we will see the manifestation of the Great Outpouring here in Germany too so that I among others will be able to share joyous reports too about all the wonderful things that will happen, – the times of the „calves jumping when coming out of the winter-stall!!!“
Oh goodness Dorothea, I am forever grateful for your precious words to me re: Jesus character. I so desire to be a reflection of who HE is in my life and what He has done in my heart. I am glad to hear from you because I was just reflecting on he work of patience HE has been doing in your heart and I heard, Tell Dorothea, I have not forgotten Germany or my faithful remnant there. God is isolating many in this hour to get our full attention and draw us up into His arms of love and protection as the world keeps whirling and spinning in confusion and despair drowning in their own self designed world. He say His eye is on the Sparrow and I know He watches you. Continue to embrace the isolation of togetherness for He shall renew your strength for the end of the journey but giving you NEW hope for tomorrow that YES, Germany will not be left out or forgotten in His soon revival in many areas. Love and prayers, Sandi
You Blessed My Entire Heart Thank You ❤️
Dear Cynthia, I am forever grateful for your blessed heart. Our God always steps down in the storm with a rain of His presence that cleanses and refreshes. Thank you for sharing, Be blessed, Sandi Holman
Thank you, Sandi! I feel so inspired by these words. It has been raining for 3 days straight where I am and I sense I’m in the eye of the storm, too, although that is where it is peaceful. The words of the poem “Spoiled for the Ordinary” resonate so much with me.
That is great Alison, I love that poem. So glad it ministered to you. Where are you> Are you in the US? I will say a prayer for you that the peace that passes understanding will fill your heart and mind,. Many blessings to you, Sandi
Hi Sandi. I am outside of Houston. Thank you so much! I appreciate it and God bless you abundantly!
Wonderful words. Wonderful poem. Thanks Sandi for sharing this with us.
Dear NS, So glad it ministered to you. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Sandi
As cyclones intensify, the eye becomes more clearly defined. Cyclone Niran, cat 5, had a well-defined eye. It developed close to my hometown. I was shocked when I found that the name “Niran” has a Strong’s number attached to it: 5295. “Naaran” is the modern spelling.

Hi Peter, Good to see you. Thanks so much for sharing these Jericho pictures and info. Many blessings, Sandi
