Removing the Mask | How to Embrace the Real You

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

Have you lost sight of the real you? Find some hope in these mask-lifting truths so that you can embrace the person behind the mask. SunSparkleShine.com

Have you ever felt as if you don’t know who the real you is? Like maybe, the girl inside you has been hiding for some time? Could it be that you’ve been hiding behind a mask. Afraid to show the real you. Afraid of what others might think if they really got to know you. […]

Letting Go | Finding the Strength you Need to Fly

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

Letting go is often hard to do until we experience the possibilities that lie in moving forward. Inspired by She's Still There, Chrystal Evans Hurst

What is it about letting go that makes us want to keep holding on? We hold on to our past. Our failures. Our lost dreams. Our broken identity. Or if you’re like me you hold on to expectations. Expectations of what life *should* be like, now that you’re married … have the dream job … […]

How to live happily ever after (without the fairy-tale romance)

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

What's better than a fairy-tale romance? A love that is complete, unchanging and unending. That’s the kind of love we find in God and it’s the love that the Bible describes so well for us. Look at these scriptures. How many more ways can you describe God’s love?

Ours was a fairy-tale romance. So when he asked me to marry him, I was over the moon. He chose an ordinary day in December 2002 and no day has been ordinary since. Yet, when it comes down to it, there is one who loves me even more. He waits patiently in the wings. Never […]

Is God still good when you make the evening news?

by Marva | Sun Sparkle Shine

'God is good all the time' is something that we often say but do we really believe it? Is God still good when bad things happen? How do we respond when our faith is tested? God’s Word tells us that while our troubles might be temporary, God’s goodness lasts forever. Now that’s good news!

Good is good all the time and all the time God is good.  So we made the news this past week. Two major car accidents within hours of each other was big enough news for our little island. Ours was a near head-on collision between our car and another. Both cars totaled. Written off. In […]
