Hello to all my readers, and to those of you finding me here for the first time,

Welcome to my blog! My name is Sharon and I’m a free-lance writer with a passion for women’s ministry.

To give you a little history about this blog, I started it several years ago in conjunction with a Bible study I was leading at the time. I wanted to walk alongside my Bible study members as they lived life and tried to follow Christ, but it’s hard to do that in just one sitting each week. I needed another outlet for teaching and encouraging them with the truths of Scripture, so I started blogging.

Out of that Bible study blossomed a new ministry called She Worships.

Why “She Worships?”

When I first started this blog I was informed that it didn’t have a very catchy name and I should probably change it. I guess I should have picked something that rhymes.

In spite of its critics, I chose “She Worships” for a very specific reason. Romans 12:1 tells us, “Therefore…in view of God’s mercy, offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.” As this verse teaches, the Christian life is to be defined by worship. We are to offer ourselves as living sacrifices, which means that each day is a sacrifice of worship to God.

Not only is Romans 12:1 the call of every Christian, but it runs against the grain of many women’s ministry resources today. If you ever wander into the women’s section at a Christian bookstore, you’ll find books about dieting, self-esteem, beauty and marriage, but worship isn’t a super popular topic. It’s not catchy. It’s not what sells.

While the culture doesn’t care much for worship, God certainly does. And as Romans 12:1 tells us, worship doesn’t just exist in a church. It’s a lifestyle. It permeates everything we do. Defined that way, worship is actually quite an undertaking.

Join me!

Although I use this blog as a platform for teaching and encouraging, it’s primarily a reflection of the lessons I’m learning about God and discipleship. I’m learning to see the world through the lens of Christ, and to worship Him in the seemingly smallest things. As I search the answers to these questions and more, I find myself reflecting on everything from theology to dating!

Worship is not for Sunday morning alone. Nor is worship for the Christian super-elite. It is God’s good plan for those who love Him. And as I have learned to worship God in my marriage, my friendships, my job, the grocery store and when I’m driving in my car, life has gotten even sweeter. I hope you will join me!

I live in Durham, NC with my husband. To contact me about speaking, writing, or questions about my blog, you can contact me at Sharon(at)sheworships(dot)com.
