What we are is God's gift to us. What we become is our gift to God. ~Eleanor Powell
A local hospital library bought copies of my book to circulate in five sister hospitals. I'm amazed they did because the only thing that worked to break through all the darkness....was the touch of His gentleness and 'amazing grace.' I put that in my book. I made it clear....nothing else worked....Only Him.
I'm humbled knowing my story will be made available for others to read and to hopefully find the hope and freedom that I found in Him.
He accepted you at your worst...and He's proud of who you are....Jesus loves you....He loves you just because...... |

Dear Sara,
Each time I read your posts, I have goose-flesh. I love your honesty, your warmth, your faith, your courage and your words.
You give me SO much strength EVERY TIME you write.
My hurt dissolves in a way every time I come here. Will it suffice for me to say, "I love that I found you here"??
God bless you, dear girl.
Freedom from all you suffered is a wonderful thing. Keep telling your story. It heals!
Sarah, how exciting for you for your book to be in local hospitals, there is so much wisdom and help you can give others. Gentle recovery one thought evoking post at a time. Your faith is so strong and inspires me. hugs my friend. be well.

What a beautiful song you chose! thanks for sharing. Blessings, Ruth
I thank God for you, for your wonderful testimony, and willingness to be so open with your struggle. What you have put into words was very hard to do but so many I am sure have felt a pain similar like yours and your story may bring hope to those who are going through trials and tribulation. God works in mysterious ways through us, around us, with us, for us and in spite of us. May your own words and God’s love continue to create in ALL of us a thankful heart.
Our Lord is AMAZING!!
Sweet Blessing,
Virginia
What a wonderful story. I’m so glad God used you to spread His message to others in that way. I’ve never heard this song by Michael W. Smith – what beautiful words to make us each feel so special. Trusting God to continue healing all of us!
Blessings,

What a wonderful news, Sarah...Your strength and courage is helping so many....May God continue to bless your story reaching out to more and more people in need.
Only Him....His open arms, His Mercy, and Grace unspeakable...His story thru YOU!!
Sarah, girl... He is using you as a voice in the wilderness. This is the good (mending and giving hope)in ALL things - For His Purpose!
Keep your eyes on Him Always!
Love,
Julie :)
Thank you for your visit and kind words on my blog. I see you have three. I am really loving this one, your story is so inspiring! Jesus did come to set us free, didn't he? Writing is such a healing thing. And when we can write about things that happened to us that are so hard to talk about...and then get that acceptance, it is so freeing. you have some wonderful variety on your blog, a little bit of everything, humor for sure. You cracked me up with the Costco Flintstone remark, but so TRUE!! Now I will always think of that when I'm in Costco, you have a wonderful whimsical way of thinking!
I forgot to tell you, I saw in your profile you like "Mary Did You Know". It's one of my favorite songs, I love the version by clay Aiken. I just signed up to follow you. Hope you have a blessed Sunday!
What a beautiful, powerful testimony! I love stories about God's immeasurable grace - and yours is certainly that! Keep writing and touching the lives of others. Isn't it wonderful to find your purpose and place of service?
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving kind words!
Great news about the hospital...your inspiring story of God's grace and mercy is going to bless so many....
Loved reading about what God has done in your life. God is always enough, isn't He...
Great news, great post, great video. Keep telling your story and HIS story.
So glad your book will be in the libraries...so often books with a Christian perspective are overlooked. Thank you for sharing your story so openly.
Your book is going to keep helping so many people for years to come! & now having copies at some hospitals... that is Awesome!
I would not have overcome so much, to be here now, without God's help and grace either! Thank you for sharing your stories, to help people like me. :-)
Blessings & Hugs,

I'm so proud of you and the way God is using you and your book to bless others. I haven't read your book yet, but I plan to read Clif's copy very soon.
Blessings,
Charlotte
Thank you for visiting my blog and you kind words!
Sarah,
I am praying and believing God that every single person who needs to hear your story will get to. You are such a light in a dark scary place. Thanks for being you.:)
Great post and video.I'm pretty sure your book would be very helpful to a good friend of mine but I don't think thay would read it. I have bough other books and they just sit on the shelf.
Sarah,
That is comforting news to have your story available where hurting people can read it. I pray a special blessing over your book - May god give His FAVOR to you and your story that others will be blessed by your brave honest sharing.
Hugs to you, gentle spirit

God is good! Praise His holy name!
He is using your story to reach out to others in their pain... offering healing, forgiveness and strength for tomorrow.
I am so happy to hear this, love you.
Great News !It is so good that you are reaching out to others that are wounded too.
Blessings,

A friend and I were talking today about things in the past that have caused us to feel shame throughout our lives. We tend to want to hide them away and forget they ever happened, when it is the very opposite that actually sets us free from them. God forgave a long time ago, but we take so much longer to forgive ourselves. As we pull those things out of hiding and give God glory for delivering us, we see them for what they are-powerless. What the enemy meant to destroy us, God uses to help others as we share with them our victory over them...and in that very act, God changes what was meant for evil to something good. (perhaps like your book?)
We were talking about things we chose - sin. It is different when something is done to you, and you didn't choose it. But shame comes in many forms. I heard someone (Beth Moore I think) say once that you know when the devil is using something against you because he always signs it with shame.
Praise God...He has set us free! Free from past suffering or sin...free from shame!
Wow what an honor about your book.. Praise The LORD !!! Its ministering to others,,,Wowzers again!!!
May Gods Blessing Be all over you~~~and Heres a Hug from me to you too~~~Dena
