Are You Sponge Worthy?
By Sharon Chiellini
"I come in contact with many people during the course of my day, by phone, email or in person, whose attitude whether good or bad is like a liquid that I am required to either absorb like a sponge or repel like a windshield. Good attitudes from positive people replenish our joy juice. We need to constantly discern those people in our lives that are sponge worthy and those that are not." read more...

Life in the Compost Heap
By Sharon Chiellini   "Suddenly composting took on a whole new meaning and Luke and I had a great talk about it. I've often recalled that conversation because it reminded me so much of my walk with the Lord. When I looked into that compost barrel, I was always reminded of how awesome and creative our God is. It also made me think of all the "garbage" I had allowed into my life." read more...


 Time to Dust for Fingerprints
By Sharon Chiellini
"My prayer today and every day is that I don't miss the things that God so desperately wants me to see.

All we need to do is pray for a little dusting powder from the Holy Spirit to dust for His fingerprints." read more...

 "Have you ever pondered the thought that your spirit has a fragrance? How sweet do you smell to those you come in contact with every day? Is your fragrance one that others want to carry with them or do you cause them to desire a good scrub after rubbing elbows with you? We all have our good smellin' days and our bad smellin' days, myself included, so is it really that important to be careful how we permeate our world?" read more...





By Sharon Chiellini
 "I truly believe that unless we choose to make the sacrifice we will never know what could have been. We will never know what lies on the other side of obedience. It all comes down to faith, which is a road not easily traveled, but leads to a destination we surely would not want to miss out on. Just ask Abraham." read more...

Heart Graffiti

I May Be A Princess But I Still Have to Slay My Own Dragons
By Sharon Chiellini
