I've recently had the priviledge to meet a wonderful sister in the Lord named Amber. Today I'm pleased to have her guest post and share her testimony of God's grace and redeeming power! Amber writes ... Today I woke up this morning I was reading the bible and just thinking about the Lord & he brought to my mind where all he has brought me from. Some may know my testimony or heard me tell it but for those of you who dont I wanted to share it with you. Most know I was raised in church my whole life, I always knew the way God wanted me to live I just always pushed it aside and thought to myself when I get older Ill live right, but as … [Read more...]

Miracle Monday ~ Miracle Man!

December 19, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith 4 Comments

Welcome to this weeks edition of Miracle Monday! Miracle Monday is created for us to share testimonies of faith and miracles that God is still performing.

This week's miracle is my favorite yet! Three weeks ago, on November 28, 2011, we received a phone call that will forever be remembered by our congregation ... "Brother Mike just died! PRAY!"

Stop And … Drink More Hot Chocolate Please!

December 16, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

The saying usually goes "stop and smell the roses" but with winter here there's only the delights of hot chocolate to savor! Being a pastor's wife can sometimes be a full time job, and this month has been full force. With Thanksgiving parties, Christmas parties, shut in's, hospital visits, emergency calls, one of my best friends had her miracle baby, making handmade gifts, writing out cards, phone calls at all hours day and night and financial needs everywhere. The prayers just don't stop going up! And we wouldn't want it any other way! The busyness combined with my recent bout of bronchitis and strep throat has just got me so fatigued … [Read more...]

An Original Belle ~ Guest Post!

December 14, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

I recently have been getting to know a beautiful Christian Lady from An Original Belle named Heather! Heather and I have had similar battles with illness and I asked her if she would be interested in sharing her testimony with us! Here is her story! Health related questions. Inquiring concerns. It's what you get accustomed to living with a chronic illness. Pacing activities. Timing trips outside the home. It's a daily occurrence unless you want to pay the painful price later. I've been chronically ill for eleven years. Sometimes I don't even think about that fact because my routine has … [Read more...]

Standing By Faith Day By Day!

December 10, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith 1 Comment

I've been sharing my amazing testimony lately so I thought this would be an appropriate time to share how I walk by faith on a day to day basis. As we all know some days are easier, and some days are very difficult. Here are some of the "treasures" God has taught me on my journey of faith ... 1. BELIEVE! Luke 17:19 "And he (Jesus) said unto them. Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole" You MUST believe that God can do it! Questioning whether he can, doubting if he will, saying that he won't will stop God from doing it! James 1:6-8 "But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like the wave of the sea … [Read more...]

My Testimony – Part 8 – An Adoption Story … Well Sort Of!

December 9, 2011 By Sarah @ Stand By Faith Leave a Comment

My testimony is very long so I am posting it in several parts. Don't forget to read: Part 1 - God Calls A Child! Part 2 - A Path Of Sin! Part 3 - Redemption - God's Amazing Grace! Part 4 - Angel's Among Us! Part 5 - 300 Days And Counting! Part 6 - Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh! Part 7 - My Darkest Days ... And God's Forgiveness! Psalms 22:19 "But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me." During my sickness all I could think about was having a child. Children are such a blessing, and somehow in my crazy mind I convinced myself that if I had a child, that would mean I was … [Read more...]
