A Note From Sharon
"We women today face many struggles and challenges trying desperately to balance our varied roles and responsibilities. If you're like me, you're looking for peace in the chaos of life, perspective among the cultural clattering that daily bombards us, and purpose that brings true fulfillment. I've discovered there's only one place to find peace - it's God peace; there is only one place to find a proper perspective - it's God's truth; and only one place to find true fulfillment - in discovering God's purpose for my life.
One of my greatest joys has been having the privilege of watching God change women's lives: setting the captive free, mending broken hearts, or opening the eyes of a new believer for the very first time. Whether it is a person's first experience with the Savior or a seasoned saint growing deeper in her faith, my passion is to tell women about the truth that will set them free to be all that God has intended for them to be in Him (John 8:32).
My prayer for each life that I have the privilege of touching is "that they will be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge" (Colossians 2:2-3).
