Welcome, friend. I’m so glad you’re here!
SunSparkleShine is your space to simply…slow…down. As you do, I hope you will breathe easy and give yourself permission to enjoy life to the full. It’s okay, go ahead, escape the busyness of life and truly sparkle in the light of God’s goodness.
Perhaps you’re thinking that you’re too busy to enjoy everyday blessings. I’ve been there. I was busy trying my best and doing my best but I was using my best energies on things that mattered least. That was a surefire road to burn out. Rather than feeling accomplished, I simply felt spent. I knew that in order for my life to be more meaningful things needed to change. I needed to find my spark and SunSparkleShine is helping me do just that.
Maybe you’re a big believer in having it all. Well, you’re in good company. I’m learning that I can ‘be’ so much more than I ever imagined. I can enjoy life to the full. That’s the life that Jesus came to give me.
In John 10:10 the picture that Jesus paints — the one that I am drawn to — is not a regular, humdrum kind of life, but a full, abundant, overflowing life. A life that really sparkles!
What you’ll find here:
SunSparkleShine is all about:
- Faith – A faith that shines
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5
Whether you’re a seasoned believer or just exploring what faith looks like for the first time, you’ll be sure to find encouragement for your journey. Topics include spiritual disciplines, devotions and practical examples of walking with God.
I share my own faith questions (When You Feel Forgotten by God) and encourage you to find hope in the God who pursues you.
- Relationships – relationships that sparkle
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. – John 13:34
It’s a beautiful thing when we enjoy community with others. You will find posts about family, marriage, parenting, friendships and practical ways we can love one another as Christ taught us.
Somehow, it seems harder to foster long-lasting adult friendships but it’s often the thing we need most to encourage us on our journey, especially in this disconnected world.
- Intentional Living – a life that glows
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. – Psalm 139:14
God created us in His image and loved us so much that He sent His Son to reconcile us to Him. He did this so that we could have a full and abundant life, shining His glory for others to see.
You’ll find practical tips for living a life that shines — from setting goals to tips and resources to help you slow down and savor the one marvelous life God has given you.
Take a moment to explore and feel right at home. I’d love for you to stay a while so we can shine brighter together!
