How to Calm Yourself After the Storms of Life

Posted on May 17, 2019 by Sharon Rose Gibson

An online friend of mine had her mail scattered all a long a county road. She and her husband had been expecting some large retirement checks. She had to put a hold on her mail, notify the bank, and the company who issued the checks. When she faced some of the complications,
the adversity threw her mind and heart into a turmoil. She asked for advice in our Facebook group.

“How do you calm yourself and recenter after a storm?”

This is a good question because we all have storms of life that come our way at times. She recorded a video and shared, “I hope I’m not whining because I don’t usually complain but this situation threw me.”

Does God Listen When You Whine?

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Sharon Rose Gibson

“I miss my mommy!” She snuggled up to me to me on a bench at the pre-K playground.

“I put my arm around her as I empathized with her, “I understand you miss your mommy.”

“My Grandma came for lunch today,” she shared.

“Good, I’m glad you got to have lunch with your grandma.” I had an assignment as a substitute teacher at pre-K for the day. They invited the parents or grandparents to come have lunch with the children.

“I want to go home now. I miss my mommy.” She shared in a plaintive voice as she leaned her head against my shoulder.

Gratitude Does Not Deny Pain

Posted on September 3, 2016 by Sharon Rose Gibson

Gratitude does not deny pain and suffering.
Gratitude enables you to bear it.
Gratitude gives you the power to overcome.

In everything give thanks. . .

He who offers thank offerings honors Me and
prepares the way for Me so that I may
show him the salvation of God. Psalm 50:23

You’re Not Alone

Posted on November 9, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

One of those times I felt especially alone in facing my challenges occurred yesterday. God surprised me with a reminder of His care for me.

For the whole day I had felt especially vulnerable and alone so I prayed for God to show me His care for me.

One of my errands that evening required a trip to the grocery store. As I headed down the yogurt aisle, I looked up to see a friend of mine smiling at me. He was with three young people and he came up to me and greeted me.

God Took A Walk With Me

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

The most amazing thing happened this morning!

I caught a glimpse of the sunrise outside my window so I rushed to put on my clothes so I could go out and enjoy the beauty.

I had been listening to Psalms for early morning encouragement but I decided to turn off my electronic device and simply listen to the birds chirp and savor the creative formation of the clouds.

Suddenly, I became aware that God walked beside me. Wow, I’ve never experienced that before. Though I’ve felt Him many times and sensed His presence or Him speaking to me, I had never experienced Him walking with me. So unbelievably awesome!

He is the King of Kings Yet He Has Time for Me

Posted on January 31, 2015 by Sharon Rose Gibson

In worship, the word Majesty caught my attention.

He is the King of Kings,

Majesty enthroned on high.

Yet

He has time for me.

He cares about my practical needs.

He’s there for me.

He’s my Deliverer

This reminds me of a song I play for my grandsons, “He’s a great big God, a very busy God but He has time for me.” (Bullfrogs and Butterflies)

Majesty.

He created and rules the world

Yet

He will always be there for me.

“I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5 (NKJV)
