Hope In Dark Places

by

This is a guest post by Stephanie K. Taylor, Sophie West’s best friend. Stephanie has a degree in journalism from Oklahoma State University. From her bio at her blog: “Go Pokes! I love all things music and art. Running is my therapy. Cooking is my joy. Fashion is my playground. I am quirky, sarcastic and I often fall walking up steps.  When I am not spending my time being super graceful, I am writing.” She blogs at stephkt.wordpress.com/blog

Whenever I am asked to share my story, I always think to myself, “Where do I start?” In my twenty four years of life, though only a short time, it seems as though I have lived a lifetime. I like to tell people that I am an old soul. My story has had it’s fair share of ups and downs, highs and lows, good times and bad times, and I wouldn’t change any of it. It’s given me a testimony to encourage other people, a big part of which includes the story of my mom.

Words Have Power

by

This is a guest post by my youngest daughter Sophie West. All parents think their kids shot the moon. I am no exception. In Sophie’s case though, I think she is part owner of that hunk of cheese in the sky. She is the delight of her Dad’s heart for sure. Those that know me understand I have a tendency to get a bit weepy when discussing my children. You can image what a mess I am in by having her as a guest on the blog today. So, pass the tissue please and read on.

I suppose it’s only fitting that I introduce myself to you, as that is what most people do upon meeting each other. I am the youngest born to my father Emery and my mother Sharon. I’ve been called a lot of things in my life, but you may call me Sophie West, and I’m a twenty something year old whose passion revolves around three things; My God, my family and words. These areas that I have centered my life on are seemingly typical responses to the age old question “What is important to you?” Well the first two are in any happenstance. Americans the world over have professed a deep and abiding love for God and family. But the two that I’m going to focus on are My God, and my words.

How God Miraculously Brought Me through A Brain Aneurysm

by

This is a guest post by lovely wife, Sharon Horvath. She is my biggest fan and the mother of our four exceptional children. Most of all she is a lover of Jesus. This is her amazing testimony.

On December 24th, 2001, while working as a home health aide, my head exploded. This is my journey. This is how I survived the black hole I fell into on that fateful night. This is how the Lord, by His great power and out stretched arm, allowed me to survive the most cataclysmic of traumas. This is my story.
