God – Page 5 – Set Apart

As I’ve watched the last several weeks of political debates, caucuses, and interviews, I’ve been struck by the number of presidential candidates who claim some form of faith in God, while talking and living in a way that seems far more about pursuing their own agenda than living under the authority of God and his Word.… Continue reading Are You Seeking the Glory of God or the Glory of Man?

When God Doesn’t Seem Good

November 2, 2014March 14, 2016 Sarah Walton

The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him. (Nahum 1:7) Last spring, we were anxiously awaiting our upcoming vacation to Florida.

Thanks for reading! My name is Sarah Walton and I'm a stay-at-home mom to 4 little humans. Life has been filled with blessings and sorrows as we've walked through special needs, Lyme Disease and chronic illness as a family, financial loss, job loss, and the slow loss of my ability to walk due to a degenerative ankle. Much of our life is spent navigating the struggles of illness, going to doctors, and learning to find joy in things of lasting value and things we never appreciated as much as we do now. But above all, God has been faithful through it all - meeting us in the valley, teaching us to walk closely with him, and watching him redeem what often seems unredeemable. Life often hurts - but because of Christ, it is full of hope. In my few spare moments, I enjoy writing and speaking about real life, the trials we continue to face, and how the hope of Christ and God's Word speaks into every aspect of it. I have co-authored Hope When It Hurts (alongside Kristen Wetherell) and have most recently co-authored Together Through the Storms - biblical encouragements for your marriage when life hurts, with my hubby, Jeff. You can also find me writing at places like Desiring God, Revive Our Hearts, Unlocking the Bible, Risen Motherhood, and other resources. Thanks for reading! May my words always serve to point you to the hope of Christ and the good news of the Gospel.
