As I am equipping my children for the life God planned for them,
God is equipping me for the life He planned for me.

A little about me
- Sharon
- I am in Christ; Jeff's wife; Joshua, Anna, Abigail and Samuel's mum. My husband pastors a Baptist church in a little country town in West Australia. I am, therefore, "the Pastor's Wife" - but I do not cook scones, play the organ, or {add your own stereotype here}. I love studying the Bible, because it helps me to love God more. I enjoy helping others engage more closely with the Bible, whether they be my own children, other children (in the past I have worked as a Children's Ministry Worker) or other women (leading Bible study small groups). I also enjoy my chickens and lambs.
Joshua ~ 12
Anna ~ 11
Abigail ~ 10
Samuel ~ 8

I love that middle one, in which Samuel is leaning back and laughing. So fun. You know, Hope and Sydney would really have a great time with Anna and Abigail. And Toby and Samuel could march around the house with wooden guns and cowboy hats. And Lane and Joshua could build Legos for hours...
