Welcome to the blog of Refreshing Moments with Sharon Fletcher. Here you’ll find posts and video devotionals to help inspire and encourage you with Biblical truths.
We pray these moments refresh and restore your relationship with the Creator.
Sometimes when we make mistakes, we feel like there is no coming back from this. We feel that the mistake was too weighty, and there is no redemption.
Sometimes we feel like God or others will never forgive us for what we have done.
Sometimes…we feel like because of the mistakes that we have made, we have lost our worth as a parent, spouse, and child of God.
When we ask God for forgiveness through Jesus, all of heaven rejoices, BECAUSE YOU STILL HAVE WORTH.
Read MoreMy oldest son plays little league football. Last year, he was on the team that won the championship title…sort of like the “super bowl” of little league. He played for the Falcons.
It was a very memorable season. There was one game in particular that made a very lasting impression on all of us.
My son’s team was scheduled to play the Steelers. At some point during the season, we had seen them in action. One thing is for sure.. these boys were HUGE.
I mean.. they were REALLY HUGE. I literally was not convinced that they were even the same age or should be in the same league. I wanted to demand to see some birth certificates for some of these boys! I digress..
Overall, the boys that played for the Falcons were smaller in stature. Naturally, they were a little intimidated.
My son said, “Momma, they are so big!” I told him not to let that affect him. Their size doesn’t take away from his talents. “Keep blocking the same way you always block, play like you always play. Don’t let that intimidate you, son,” I said to him.
I can’t remember who scored first. But I do remember, when the Falcons scored, it caught the Steelers off guard. They weren’t expecting it. Of course, the Falcons won.
In the story of David and Goliath, we found a very similar scenario. This story can by found in 1 Samuel 17.

No matter how the winds and waves are raging,
No matter how impossible it may seem,
No matter how scary it gets,
No matter how ugly it gets,
Keep your eyes on Him. Keep walking toward him. Keep letting Him lead you. And you won't sink.
Stay focused.
Hey Hey Hey!!! Rise and Shine!!!! Rise to the occasion! Shine on to greatness!! God gave You a light that is unique to YOU and only YOU, and there is someone out there that needs you to let that light shine!
And that is what this blog post is about today.
When I first got married, I lived in Beaufort, SC. The ministry that we are a part of is in Hanahan, SC (in the greater Charleston area). So, if you are from this area, you have gathered that we lived about 1 and 1/2 hours away from our church.
But that did not stop us from being faithful to the ministry.
