NOTE FROM SHARON: OK, that was the official bio, and honestly, it makes me sound a lot more studious and accomplished than I really am. So let me tell you what you really need to know. I’m just a simple gal raised in eastern North Carolina who loves the beach, drinks too much sweet tea and is still crazy about her husband after forty-one years. I have one married Steven who lives 767.5 miles away (yes, I’ve counted them).Being his mom has been one of the greatest joys of my life, but he grew up without my permission. Seriously, he is a creative whipper-snapper whom God has used to teach me many life lessons, and he has blessed us with the daughter we always wanted. When I write my blogs, women always say, “how did you know exactly what I am going through.” My answer is always the same, “because I’m going through the very same stuff you are.” I don’t have it altogether and I certainly don’t have all the answers. But I do know the One Who does, and there’s nothing I love better than grabbing hold of a sister’s hand and learning how to live fully and free in Christ together.
