Meet Sandra Thiessen

Sandra Thiessen was born in Wyoming in 1964. She became a dedicated Christian in 1972. For four years she studied voice privately at the University of South Florida with Dr. Everett Anderson. While still in high school she participated in many competitions, winning first place in her category for the Florida, Georgia and Alabama region in the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

In 1982 Sandra attended Capernwray Bible School in North Lancashire, England. She returned to marry Glen Thiessen in 1983, and they enjoy four children, one daughter-in-law, one grandson and a small white dog with high self esteem!

Sandra loves to walk, read, do needlework, spend evenings with her family and write. Some of her writing has appeared in Good Housekeeping Magazine, and “A Cup of Comfort Devotional For Women”. Her articles have also been featured in stories for ABC and PAX television.

Sandra’s love for music is traced to a time when she listened to her Aunt’s sing in harmony as they tackled the difficult job of caring for their invalid mother. She learned from an early age that praise to the Lord expressed through music can completely alter the focus in the midst difficult circumstances.

She writes, “It was at Capernwray Bible School where I was first exposed to the five words that have come to mean so much to me: “For This I Have Jesus.” No matter what challenge or sorrow we face, this small phrase holds enormous comfort. Hang on dear friend...Jesus is enough!”
