About Sharon

Hi, I'm Sharon. Welcome to the Daily Devotional Blog.

I started the site in 2013, because I wanted to let people know what was in my heart each day. I figured if I was feeling, thinking, and sensing certain things, then others were too, and could be encouraged by my testimony (which the blog springs from). Thus, In Sharon's Heart started and has evolved into the Daily Devotional Blog, which is still about speaking the things God has placed in my heart -- from my heart to your heart. It's a place inspired and guided by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Another reason for the inspiration of the site, is because at one time I think I was a functional "depressed" person. What does that mean? Well, although it wasn't clinical depression, I sad and unfulfilled. You see, I was achieving worldly (opposed to spiritual) endeavors like gaining degrees, working ceaselessly in my job, serving diligently at my church, and being the best mom I could be for my two boys after my divorce, something was still missing. I functioned in the daytime, but I was sad and down in the dumps at night. I would wallow in my grief at the many opportunities I missed and the mistakes I made in my past. I wallowed so much, I started giving all my nights to the enemy instead of to the Lord. I wasted so much time wasting time on thinking on the things that had already happened and the things I couldn't change, that I didn't live in my purpose.

Then one day I asked myself how I could sort out my thoughts; sort out my heart; and help others. And that’s how In Sharon’s Heart started, how it continues to evolve, and how I finally got out of that dumpy slump. Yes, I started seeking and reading the bible, listening to inspirational sermons and music, getting godly counsel from trustworthy and wise friends, and praying without ceasing. I also gained an awesome accountability person (aka a spiritual coach, we all need someone we can talk to right?). God is awesome.

Today, I am now a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17); I can do all things through God who gives me the strength to do them (Philippians 4:13), and I will continue to trust in the Lord even if I don't understand all He's doing, because I know He will direct my paths and make them smooth (Proverbs 3:5/6). One of the many great things about the Lord God is that He will turn trials into triumphs, tests into testimonies, and lows into highs. For, He's a God who covers His people from start to finish. I pray you will be encouraged and uplifted by the Daily Devotional Blog.

Blessings,
Sharon

    Thank you Mrs. Sharon, for I use this site to dig out of the depression that sits on my chest in the morning. After visiting with you, listening to music and sermons, my chest grows lighter because burdens are lifted. God bless you.

God blesses whomever he wants to bless, whenever he wants to bless them

Daily Devotional Podcast. Follow along with blog post. When I was going through a dark time -- when I had nothing -- there was a certain person who helped me sometimes. She helped me whenever she basically felt like it, but she did help, and for that I'm appreciative. But, something interesting happened after I started growing out of my despair. Something interesting started happening when I no longer needed her for anything. And something interesting happened even though I remained kind and grateful towards. The interesting thing that happened was that she started hating on me. She started treating me differently. At first I was really bothered by it, because I thought she and her husband were nice people I wanted in my life. I liked that they had a sense of compassion and were interested in helping people who were down and low. That really appealed to me, because I was raised that way; my mother was raised that way; her mother was raised that way, and it goes back to as fa

Protecting My Peace - Day 96 - Disciplining Ourselves for Next Level Greatness

Click to listen to today's podcast episode. When it comes to next level greatness, we have to know that applies to us, not just everyone else. Do you know what God has for you? Do you? He has GREATNESS for you. Yes, YOU -- all of us. It's about doing what you can do and only you can do. You are the only one with your DNA -- none of us. is the same Yet, even when we're feeling down, discouraged, and out, those emotions are only temporary. None of us has it all together. Sometimes I procrastinate and put things off when I know I should be doing better. Yet, I am not as diligent and disciplined as I can be sometimes. Like when it comes to working out, I delay it, because I don't like it anymore. And although I love reading the bible, I haven't been reading it as often as I should lately. Yes, I, Sharon, the Faith Coach, do not do the things I'm supposed to do when I'm supposed to do them. And that my dear friends should not come as a shock to no one. It certa
