My problem is definitely sin....it is a deep root that sprouts and shows itself in many different forms....jealousy, greed, anger, selfishness, lack of faith.....I'll stop for the sake of room :) Not that God calls us to dwell on our sin, b/c He has forgiven and forgotten it at the cross. He calls us to put those things behind us...."press on for the prize....". To our lack of faith: "What if some did not have faith? Will their lack of faith nullify God's faithfulness? Not all!" Romans 3:3-4. And to our sinful ways?: "For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin--b/c anyone who has died has been freed from sin." Romans 6:6-7 Yea! So what?....What now you ask?....."Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer the parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace." Romans 6:11-14. Did you catch that? Sin is not your master....you are under grace! So examine yourself, confess your sin, and move on toward what God is leading you to do. Don't know what he is leading you to do?....Ask and listen....read His word.....really....read His word.

Who are we?
We are moms who have been friends for a long time. God has blessed us with a friendship that He has used to help us spur each other on toward a more faithful relationship with Him. He has given us both a desire to be used where we are at this place in time and in the situations that He has placed us.
Why this blog?
We are starting this blog as a way to encourage other women by sharing what God is doing in our lives and to hopefully provide resources and spiritual food for thought to encourage other women to want more for their lives in Christ. We pray we always remain humble and filled with the Spirit...that our words are not solely our opinion but based on the solid, true, always faithful Word of God. We desire to encourage one another to build families that are centered around the gospel....the forgiveness and grace found only in our Savior Jesus Christ and His sacrifice that bridged the gap that separated us from God. To live lives fully devoted to Him....to find the full and complete joy that comes from knowing and being known by the Father. We believe that God wants more for us....all of us...He has more for us....He wants to bless us....more! And as we seek His Word and listen for His call on our lives and look for evidence of His grace and sovereignty in our lives, we will be blessed beyond anything we could have ever imagined. "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared from those who love him." 1 Corinthians 2:9
So, join us on the journey that seeks "to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:18
About Us
- Shannon Brown
- I am a mother of 3: Faith - 9 yrs old, Austin 7 yrs old, and Tyler 5 yrs old. My hubby is a pianist and music director at our church. I was completely forgiven at the age of 8 when Christ revealed to me that I was a sinner and I asked Him to forgive me. Since then, I have grown at times and drifted at times, but through many events and places that God has placed me in, I have grown to have a deeper desire to know Him more and serve Him more. I pray that I will continue to hold to the course He has for me as I serve Him the rest of the days of my life....that I would be a godly wife for my husband and a godly mother for my kids and most of all, a humble servant for my Lord!
