Sacred Story’s Library of Inspiring Women’s Stories
Sister we are in this together. Our library contains encouraging stories from women who, like you, walk through chapters of questioning, grieving, loving, hoping, and surrendering. We pray you will pass on stories because hope is contagious. Our Teaching Moments offer perspective about living your story in light of God’s Word. We love to hear how you are impacted by what you read.

The Girl Who Had No Hope
I was deeply saddened reading about a 20 year old girl who was granted euthanasia due to, what her doctors diagnosed, 'incurable' post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from being sexually abused from the ages of 5-15. Boy, doesn't that one sentence bring a flood of...
Storming Heaven for A Miracle
Mary's Story: Lying on the sonographer's table I anticipated the technician’s smiling commentary on how great my baby looked. Instead she focused on his abdomen for what seemed like a long time. Her forehead furrowed a little. Is everything ok? In a stable voice she...
Prayer For Healing

Picture Healing
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and...
Tell Your Heart to Beat Again
One of my new favorite songs is "Tell Your Heart to Beat Again" by Phillips, Craig and Dean. I can hear it over and over again. Each time I hear it my heart literally feels the ache of the greatest disappointments in my life but without the pain of wondering how I'm...
Pork Tacos for a Crowd
She Braise I used to not think of myself as a performance oriented person. I used to think of myself as having a laid back nature and not a controlling type. Enter cooking (and children) and I morph into neither an “alpha” nor a “beta,” but a genuine brute. Something...
Faith & a Flood Part 2
The entry below was originally posted on May 29, 2015. Here we are 11 months later dealing with another flood. It is good to go back and read what I wrote the first time and be reminded that God has purposes for us in EVERYTHING. That includes two floods in a year. My...
Surrender On Purpose
“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” Psalm 119:105 Storms rolled through Houston all night leaving us without power. Suddenly my daughter’s little red lantern is our family’s most prized possession. We can only see one step ahead as we make our way...
Living Purposefully
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 Finding one’s purpose has been a hot topic for years with the release of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Steven Covey...
Picture Purpose
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails. -Proverbs 19:21
Walking on Eggshells
Jennifer's Story: I know what it’s like to keep a secret about something I felt too ashamed to admit. I also know the freedom of confiding in a trusted friend. I struggled with my anger being out of control for a long time. I felt like I had chains shackled around my...
