A Doxology in Darkness – Chapter 5 – Needing

Sharon July 16th, 2008

Tweet

The next catastrophic blow to my belief system arrived on January 19th.

Oddly, for such a life-altering epiphany, it padded in on unspeakably soft feet. In fact, had the Holy Spirit not taken it upon Himself to underline it quietly, I may very well have overlooked it entirely.

Once again missing Tom terribly, searching frantically for an escape from the pain, I cried out to Him, asking if there was any way Tom and I would ever be reunited.

"Lord, is it ever fixab … (Read More)

A Doxology in Darkness – Chapter 4 – Unearthing

Sharon July 10th, 2008

Tweet

I started seeing Ruth as soon as our busy schedules would allow. I truly had no idea what to expect from our time together, but I didn't really care that much. I just needed to feel some relief, no matter what shape that relief may take.

I could never have predicted the life-changing healing I would come to experience.

Funny how we often look back on dramatic periods of time, and cannot for the life of us imagine what we were feeling just moments before the big e … (Read More)

Sharon July 2nd, 2008

Tweet

As the end of November approached, I was becoming frustrated by my deepening depression. I felt so weak and helpless. My embarrassment at my inability to get a hold of myself was eating me up inside. Pride has always been one of my biggest struggles, so of course I want to be perceived as strong, and "together." I didn't want myself or anyone else to recognize just how quickly I was drowning.

And so it was that I came to find myself driving down the road … (Read More)

A Doxology in Darkness – Chapter 2 – Fasting

Sharon June 26th, 2008

Immediately following the breakup, I went into a tailspin. I was a veritable mess.

Averaging about two to three hours of sleep per night, my skin became sallow, and my eyes were ringed by dark circles. I could barely swallow any solid food, so was relegated to protein shakes, and very simple things. Consequently, my five foot three inch frame whittled down from 110 pounds, to 97 pounds in a matter of about two weeks. I looked horrid: older, drawn and beaten down.

The Shack – William Paul Young on SBE

Erik Guzman May 16th, 2008

Tweet

The author of The Shack, William Paul Young, joins us on Steve Brown Etc. this week to talk about living in a jacked-up world full of pain and loss and…full of a God who loves us. Use one of the options below to listen.

Stories are pouring in about the healing impact of The Shack and, as I write this, the book is #8 on Amazon. Not bad for a book that Young wrote as a gift to his 6 children and was never intended to be published. Join us as we talk about some of … (Read More)
