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 Key to Contentment
And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19, NLT. Italics mine. As a little girl I never knew I lived in a low-income neighborhood. At one point in my life, I...
Is Contentment on Your GPS?
I am nesting in my new place- setting up a home and making multiple trips to Target. I am grateful for God’s hand on the space He provided. The lady at the apartment complex commented, “Your unit is the only one with a large private balcony.” Recognizing God’s...
Loss of A Dream
"You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light." Ps. 18:28 Recently, three close friends faced the unexpected death of a parent. I grieved with each of them as I witnessed firsthand the pain accompanying such weighty goodbyes. When I think...
The Comfort Under the Comfort Food
During a chapter of loss, there is an obvious recipe for which we hunger: comfort food – for our stomachs and our hearts. Selecting a comfort food recipe to share is more subjective than I realized. As best as I can surmise though, comfort food can be divided into...
Even in the Gain
Two and a half years ago, I got married at 43. For the first time. My new husband and I were going to the Friday night football game at the school were his son and daughter attended. I was naturally nervous: I didn’t know anyone; I was new to a tight-knit community of...
Missing Mom
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 I just spent my 14th Mother’s Day without my mom. It’s still hard to believe she’s gone. I remember the first Mother’s Day after she died –how much I dreaded it. The...

Loss: Who Will Fill This Hole?
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with man is possible with God." Luke 18:27 Here I was again, facing a second devastating divorce, when my encourager said to me, “Consider the possibilities.” I was offended by her suggestion, as I considered all the terrible...

Buying My Castle
Darlene’s Story: I didn’t buy my first home until age 42 and was shocked the bank would give a 30 year loan to someone of my advanced years. OK, advanced years is an exaggeration but I certainly didn’t like the fact I would be 72 when the loan was paid off. My first...
He is With You
"But you will not even need to fight. Take your positions; then stand still and watch the Lord’s victory. He is with you, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out there tomorrow, for the LORD is with you!" 2 Chronicles 20:17, NLT....
Is God a Giver or a Taker?
“The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” (Job 1:21) When I think about loss, there is a sadness that comes over me. I recently had a string of friends who lost their babies due to miscarriages or death after delivery. Another...
