I Fell in Love Again Today

I wrote this in April, but just remembered to publish it today.


After months of dealing with change, disappointment and sadness, I woke up today remembering that God is real and he knows me and loves me.
All of us experience disappointments in our lives and depending on the circumstances it can take days, months even years to move through them.  I say move through because all wounds need to be cleaned.  If a wound is left to it's own devices it may fester and if tended only lightly it will leave a great scar.  All wounds of the heart leave a scar and as we heard last week on Divine Mercy Sunday of Christ's great example of of how His wounds were exposed so that Thomas could believe.

Glorified Wounds

I am starting a new blog. This one will be for a website I am putting together to promote my writing and speaking.  Below is a description of me for the website.  Seems weird to write it in the 3rd person but when I looked at others - it seems to be the way to do it.   Let me know what you think!

Sharon Wilson is a dynamic Catholic Speaker and writer who speaks and works to bring others to the fullness of God's Mercy.  Touched  by an experience of the Holy Spirit, Sharon shares her story of hurt and healing after the an abortion and the subsequent loss of an infant son to SIDS.  Feeling that she had been abandoned by the God she didn't even believe in, Sharon has come to see the beauty of her wounds and the fullness of the life God has chosen for her. It is her mission to share that joy with others.

Funny, entertaining and slightly irreverent, Sharon is a natural story teller and shares her love of the Church and for God's forgiveness through the every day actions in our lives.  

Living in Faribault, Minnesota Sharon shares her love of the Catholic Church and passion for healing in her work for the for the WINE - Women in the New Evangelization and as a freelance writer and Blogger for the Catholic Spirit and Catholichotdish.com. 

"It has always puzzled me why Christ returned after the resurrection with wounds on his glorified body.  He didn't need them, but others needed to see them to believe.  In this way his wounds were no longer shameful, they became a source of hope and faith for others. We all have wounds and sometimes we get stuck in the pain of our wounds, but if we can see God's work in our pain we can live our lives with joy and without shame."   Sharon Wilson

Endorsements:

“Can you imagine what would have happened to poor St. Thomas had Christ hidden his wounds after his resurrection...  but sharing how you have been redeemed and renewed and changed could only strengthen your mission and lead to even deeper healing within your own heart."

Please pray for me on this new phase in my life!
