Wow, so much has happened in these past three months since the last Random Life. We’re grateful for God’s mercies and His abundant grace during this busy season. Enjoy a very random look!
Love,
Sarah
“For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that
ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 1:8).
Y’all, happy Monday! We’re only 26 days away from Christmas. These past 7 weeks have been full of blessings and opportunities to lean on the Lord Jesus. We are grateful for His guidance in our lives.
There was a lot that went into Learning Lessons going to press and then the steps it takes to launch. I love seeing the books ship out and already hearing feedback from happy readers!
We are grateful for all the Lord has given us: work, church, serving opportunities, and time with family.
I hope our U.S. readers had a blessed Thanksgiving!

“Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing
give thanks: for this is the will of God in
Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
Wow! Another month has flown by. The book is back from the copyeditor, and we’re in our final two weeks before going to press. I can’t wait to share more details with you next month!
Life stays busy here at the Maxwell home, and here is a peek at what’s been happening.
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might” (Ephesians 6:10).
Life is a whirlwind, and we’re grateful for all the Lord has set before us. His blessings are abundant, and we praise Him!
Dad and Mom had an amazing time in the mountains. We’re happy they had a time of refreshment and enjoying God’s creation.
August came to a close with full schedules, and we welcomed September. Last week, we experienced several days of cold and rain–breaking a temperature record from the early 1900s.
For me, days blur together in a whirlwind of editing. We’re almost there, and I’m grateful to everyone who has helped with the project. This is my final week before the book goes to the copyeditor. My to do list is growing for after it’s off.
We love you all! What is something you’re grateful for today?
Love,
Sarah
“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand
of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
So much has happened since our last Random Life. It feels like a lot has changed, and yet things are still the same. But in a way they aren’t.
We shared with you all the news that Anna Marie likely has cancer. How are we dealing with it? We’re grateful we know Who holds all things in His hands. Yes, while what Anna Marie is facing is possibly very serious, none of us are guaranteed another day. I could be in a car accident tomorrow and ushered into the presence of Jesus. We are very prayerful for Anna Marie and being as supportive as we can with their needs while all the time looking to the Lord for what His will is.
January was filled to the brim with work, ministry, helping Christopher and Anna Marie and Joseph and Elissa, and somehow managing to keep up with our personal lives as well. The Maxwell crew has also had their fair share of colds and other similar “bugs,” including John being hit with pneumonia several weeks ago. We’re thankful most are on the mend.
Enjoy a peek into Random Life.
“And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times
or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power”
(Acts 1:7).
It’s a gorgeous, autumn Sunday afternoon as I prep this Random Life post. We went from temperatures in the 90s the end of September, to temperatures in the lower 30s at night, cool days, and snow predicted for this coming week. Hello, autumn! Hues of orange, brown, and the occasional vibrant red fill the neighborhood and surrounding countryside.
September and October have been full with work, ministry, and traveling for some. We’re grateful to the Lord for His enabling grace.
What is something you enjoy about autumn? I’d love to hear it!
“The eyes of all wait upon thee;
and thou givest them their meat in due season.”
Psalm 146:15
