My name is Sharon and I never, ever, ever, thought I’d have a blog. I know there are thousands, if not millions, of blogs out there and sometimes I question myself why I would want to add to the static. Why put myself out there? Why labor over the written word to what end? But, I have come to realize that because I belong to Jesus Christ, He, not me, is the author of my story and has entrusted it to me, just like the parable of the talents in Matthew 25. I write to add my voice to His story, to give a testimony of a redeemed life. My goal is to bring Him glory in my generation, in my small [very small] corner of the world, with my own voice, even if that story never “breaks through the noise” of the thousands. My musings are not to bring a new word, but to be faithful to the old Word — the “old, old story, of Jesus and His love.” If you find something here that resonates with you, I’d love to hear from you.
The title of my space, “Now a mirror dimly” is a reference to 1 Corinthians 13:12 which states: “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.” In this life, I have the privilege of pondering after my God who loves me and has made me his own. But my ponderings are like looking into a dim mirror, a poor reflection at best. But one day, when I am with Him face to face, I will see Him and all things in sparkling clarity. What a marvelous mystery.
