4th Anniversary

I can’t believe it’s been this long, but we’re celebrating the Soul H2O Radio & Podcast Show 4th Anniversary… and I hope you’ll join us!

Will you celebrate with me?

4th Year Anniversary
I really can’t believe it’s been this long!
Below are pictures of my 1st day recording with my 1st show guest… my friend JOY! I also recorded my 2nd episode that day with another friend, Danielle Macaulay.

I know, it’s crazy isn’t it, my first guest with the name Joy on JOY Radio! Four years ago I was as nervous as could be walking into the station for the first time to record. I felt so small and wondered who would listen to an “On-Air Ladies Bible Study, but God knew what He had in store.
The Bible is wise to encourage you and I with these words…

Do not despise these small beginnings.
Zechariah 4:10

Take bold steps…
Make BIG moves. You just never know where God will take you and where your first step in the journey may lead to. It could be the thing, that led to the thing God has for you!
In HIs Grip,
Sherry

What Could Happen If You Didn’t Give Up?
Have you ever stopped to ask yourself the question, What Could Happen If You Didn’t Give Up? I’m hoping this devo will be all the encouragement you need to keep on, keeping on!

Soul H2O Devotion

What Could Happen If You Didn’t Give Up?

Yup! That’s a picture of a flat tire and the picture beside is the amazing Heather Ireland; two truck driver, former Biker TV Host and owner of Silverbird Towing, graciously changing my tire as transports are whizzing by.

These pictures were taken on the side of Highway 401 where I had to quickly pull over when I clearly drove over something, causing my tire to blow… after a long day when a relational situation broke my heart just hours before.

Some days are just like that. I find they happen a lot when you’re pushing through, going to a new level, walking toward what God’s called you to do, or making progress to becoming the person God wants you to be.

It’s Not Always Easy

That’s exactly what was happening in my life when these pictures were taken. I was getting ready all day to go away, so I could attend an important ministerial event for our denomination way up in Mississauga. It’s my first one since the 1990’s as I just renewed my credentials in 2022 (OOPS I don’t think I posted about that… for another day). Earlier that day, things just kept going wrong and taking longer than they should have, then the relational upheaval that left me hurt, doubting my identity and questioning if I should be going at all.

The enemy was trying to wear me down and stop me from going but I was wise to his tactics this time.

After only getting 4 hours of sleep I headed out for the meetings. Staying awake when anyone prayed for an extended time was difficult, but pushing through and not letting the enemy steal away from me was worth pushing through every struggle I had to. I left on a high, affirmed in my calling, having received a prophetic encouragement from God, reconnecting with old Bible College friends, and being used by God to share a message of encouragement with a fellow minister.

Powerful Alignment
I was aligning myself with the mission of Paul as he said in Philippians 3:14.

I PRESS ON
toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:14 ESV

The enemy tried to wear me out and get me to give up on doing the right thing but in the end, it was the enemy who was tired out and frustrated because not one of his tactics worked.
I kept moving forward and God was able to do some amazing things. If I’d given up, none of that would have happened.
What Could Happen If You Didn’t Give Up?
Has the enemy been trying to wear you down, so you don’t go there or do that? Don’t let him get you down for the count, remind yourself of what God promises in Galatians 6:9, Don’t get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time you will reap a harvest of blessing… if you don’t give up.

Prayer

Father…I thank you that you’ve put more strength in me than I realize. Help me to grow in faith to believe that I can do all things… In Jesus Name…Amen

The Most Powerful Way To Deal With Self-Criticism

My dear children, let’s not just talk about love; let’s practice real love. This is the only way we’ll know we’re living truly, living in God’s reality. It’s also the way to shut down debilitating self-criticism, even when there is something to it. For God is greater than our worried hearts and knows more about us than we do ourselves.
1 John 3:18–20 MSG

My son Brandon is an amazing salesman.

Over the past five years working for my parents, he’s expanded their business astronomically. At 25, they’re already working on a plan for Brandon to take over the business.

If you know my dad at all, you know what a BIG deal it is for him to hand over the reins!

Brandon loves the thrill of the sale and making his customers happy.

Recently, Brandon called completely excited to tell me about a deal he just made on a trailer sale. A previous customer contacted him in a very difficult situation, having just experienced a personal disaster. Brandon‘s heart was moved with compassion.

When he called the customer back and told them how he could work things out, the customer actually cried, thanking him repeatedly. At that point, I asked, “Isn’t the feeling you get helping someone else out as good, if not better than the feeling you get making a big money deal?” Brandon’s response, “Absolutely mom, absolutely.”

The Most Powerful Way To Deal With Self-Criticism

In this epistle, John imparts such wisdom when he educates believers about God’s love towards us and how we benefit by sharing that love with others. In this week’s verses, John shares how loving each other…the art of practicing real, honest, sincere love towards others will even help defeat those internal negative, condemning thoughts of self-criticism we often struggle to place on mute. Basically…

Helping Others Helps Us

How can you honestly criticize yourself and say you’re not a good person,
or that your life doesn’t count when you’re doing good things for others?

Just as my son’s experience at work and his involvement with 100 Guys Who Care Brantford reveal,

It’s an exhilarating feeling when you help others!

Like putting arrows in a quiver; helping others gives you something to throw back at the enemy when he detonates those negative, self-critical thought bombs off in your brain.

So, if you struggle with self-esteem issues, the advice given in 1 John 3:20 could be the best coping mechanism for you today…. get out of your brain and go help someone in need!

Prayer

Father…Your love is so good! Just when I think I understand how much You love me, I learn there’s a deeper well then I ever imagined. It takes a lifetime to grasp Your love. Help me to silence self-doubt with Your love as I spend my time helping others; not introspectively criticizing myself because…YOU love ME! In Jesus Name…Amen

[tweetthis]Get out of your brain and go help someone in need! 1 Jn 3:18-20[/tweetthis]

[tweetthis]*Helping Others Helps Us* 1 John 3:18-20[/tweetthis]

Will you indulge me? I’m hoping you’ll soak in this verse a little. I found it interesting to compare these verses in different translations and I hope you do. Bible Gateway is an easy way to look up Scriptures online, I love the YouVersion Bible App for my phone to look up verses, highlight and listen to the Bible read out to me in many versions. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Bible Hub for looking deeper into the original meaning of Scripture and other helpful tools they have.

Compare these verses in different versions. I found these versions help bring a different deeper understanding to what John was teaching: NIV, NLT, The Message, GOD’S WORD ® Translation

When Things Don’t Go As Planned
Did your week go off, just as you planned?
Well… if yours did, I’m happy for you, but mine… not quite. Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, things just don’t go as planned.

When Things Don’t Go As Planned
I was so excited last Friday when I got my blog and email out to you. If you’ve been on my list for over a year, you know I was pretty quiet in 2021. That last lockdown from January to June seemed to knock the stuffing out of us all here in Canada.
In the email, I told you all about the new radio/podcast show I was releasing… but it didn’t release. Production was held up and there was another rerun, but what was a frustration for me, was God’s timing for others. I had people messaging me on all different platforms letting me know how that episode was just what they needed!
God Knows How To Get You Where You Need To Be
It’s interesting how this all happened, but for me it really was an example of how God Knows How To Get You Where You Need To Be (the title of tomorrow’s episode). Lots of things didn’t happen as I planned them, but even what seemed like a problem to me, God used it for His good in other’s lives.
The fact that I just received a book delivered to my doorstep as I’m writing this called, The Gift of the Unexpected by Jillian Benfield is evidence that God is up to something good! (Gonna have to have her on the show!)
A verse I use in the show seems to fit the bill for the happenings of this past 7 days..

Don’t Fear When Things God Wrong
Life happens and we get off track, things go awry, we start walking… or running the wrong way but God will just turn it around or tap you on the shoulder and help you find your way back on the path. Either way, He’ll work it out for your good as it says In Romans 8:28. Even when things don’t go as planned, God has a plan!

Tomorrow’s Show
I think tomorrow’s show will speak to your heart as God was really speaking the message to mine when I wrote and recorded it. Familiar passages, with a deepened understanding. (See details below)

Catching A Vision For The Future
It’s in taking the time to look back at last year that’s helping me catch a vision for the future and I can’t wait to start living it!

Soul H2O Devotion

Catching A Vision For The Future

It’s hard to believe that Christmas and New Year’s are behind us.

This is the time when we tend to reflect on the past year, while envisioning our hopes for the new… and that’s the headspace I’m in right now. Reviewing the past, to catch a vision for the future.

God Knows You Need A Vision of The Future

You might have heard Proverbs 29:18 quoted from the King James Version, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” but I think the ESV is closer to the original language as it translates this verse to read: “Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint,” or how the NLT says, “When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.” And I think my favourite translation of the verse is from the CSB,

Wait For The Vision

When we’re making plans for the next year or trying to set a 5-year plan, it’s imperative that we spend time waiting on God to hear His direction; and then follow it. When I don’t, I feel like I’m running wild, taking shots in the air… and mostly missing. I don’t want to do that this year, and I’m guessing you don’t either. I want to live on purpose, on mission.

There’s a sense that this year is critical, a pivotal time in the history of the world. I want to make sure you and I are following God’s lead to make the greatest impact.

Review & Envision

I challenge you to take some time, like I did, to write out key life events from 2022 and prayerfully envision this year. If you need an example, you can see mine HERE. Then, get moving to make those dreams reality!

Prayer

Father, I thank You for giving me dreams and visions for the future. Your Word assures me that you speak to Your people, so I can be confident that you will guide me. Help me to wait for Your Word, hear it, and follow through to completion. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Sherry’s 2022 Year In Review & Vision for 2023

2022 Year In Review and Visions of 2023

Much love,

2022 YEAR IN REVIEW

I’M A LEGIT PREACHER NOW 🙂

In January of 2022 I started the process of re-applying for my Licensed Minister Credentials with the PAOC as I had let them lapse since I had my son Brandon. I never stopped ministering, I just didn’t have credentials.

At the end of June, I found out they were reinstated. In October, the week of our Refresh Conference, Todd and I attended the WOD Minister’s Gathering in Collingwood, Ontario. There were powerful services where you could feel the presence of God. We had such a great time visiting with old friends and making new ones.

I was super excited to attend the breakfast for female ministers. There were 85 in attendance!!! At my table of 7, five were Lead Pastors and two of us in non-traditional ministries. I think our fellowship is changing in positive ways toward women! Praying this happens in all churches around the world.

2022 BEST BLOG OF THE YEAR AWARD

In the fall of 2022, I received The Word Awards – Best Blog of The Year award for writing in 2021 from The Word Guild; Canada’s most highly esteemed Christian Writer’s Guild. This is the second award the blog has won, but this time it’s the highest award a blog can receive. WHOOT! WHOOT! I can’t tell you how much this meant.

FIRST REFRESH LIVE WOMEN’S CONFERENCE!!!!!!

On October 22, 2022… dreams came true for me and my team! Since 2019 we’ve been talking about, planning and preparing for running live events… and then gave up as lockdowns seemed to never end. So, when in August it seemed the Lockdowns were really over, we quickly began planning our first-ever Refresh Conference for women!

We’ve heard such life-changing testimonies from women and are excited to get planning for our next one. With just over 230 women in attendance, we raised $1,542.00 in the offering for our missions trip to Kenya! One girl attending has signed up to go with us to Kenya (possibly another) but more women expressed interest in coming on future Missions trips with us (Check the next one out in the 2023 Visions section).

BACK TO IN-PERSON EVENTS

We were able to be a part of the annual Single Mom’s Event at Braeside Camp again. Jenn Chamberlain from our team joined me and led the girls in fun with games and giveaways. I spoke on the Friday night and for a seminar session on Saturday morning.

In December I was back to traveling for speaking! I spent a week in the GTA, speaking in Newmarket at Cedarview Commutity Church to over 225 women and did a little sharing at the See, Hear, Love TV Show Christmas Event held at the Crossroads Centre for my friend Melinda Estabrooks. If you don’t watch this girls show yet, you wanna check it out. It’s sooo good! I was on in year two of taping but the show and set have changed so much since then.

THE RADIO & PODCAST SHOW—Year 3!

At the end of December, I had a great meeting at the JOY Radio.CA Station with Matt, the owner. I’m super excited for the upcoming year of teaching and guests the show is going to feature. Matt has offered an opportunity for me that has blown me away. Get ready to her more from me and Soul H2O Ministries on the station! 5 Ways You Can Listen

PERSONALLY

Got to have so much fun in November and December! Todd and I were blessed with a gift to be jetsetters for two days as my dad was inducted into the Canadian Drag Racing Hall of Fame!

Catching A Vision For 2023!
I’m already getting bookings to speak at events for 2023… not like a normal year yet, but it’s starting! Along with Recording weekly Soul H₂O Radio & Podcast Shows, posting devotional blogs, emails, mentoring women and coaching leaders, running a Life Group…

Advent Inspiration For Your Christmas Season
To me, Christmas is the second most important holiday season on the calendar, next only to Easter… and Easter couldn’t have happened without Christmas. This post was created to be some Advent inspiration for your Christmas season.
Birthdays during the Christmas Season
In my family, we have three birthdays that take place during the month of December. Over the years, we’ve not always been able to get together to celebrate them on the exact day of their births but we honour their lives just the same.
The reality of this makes me totally fine with using December 25th, or January 7th if you’re an Orthodox Christian, to celebrate the birth of Jesus, even though He really was a Fall baby .
Taking a whole season to reflect on why Jesus left heaven to come to earth and become our Emmanuel, “God with us” should make you feel so loved. Pondering on the fact that Jesus gave up the comforts of heaven for you should be the inspiration you need to celebrate.
You’re that important to God!
Celebrating Jesus Birthday
To provide you with some Advent inspiration for your Christmas season, I’ve compiled a post full of Christmas-themed, Advent-inspired resources to help you celebrate Jesus’ birthday. Each year, this post will be updated with more festive finds and Quick Links to help you maneuver through them. There are:
~Christmas themed Blog Posts
~Christmas themed Soul H2O Devotions,

~Christmas themed Recipes
~Christmas themed Soul H2O Podcast Episodes
~Christmas themed Scripture Graphics (Downloadable)

~Christmas themed Books
~Christmas themed Holiday Sales (little gifts from me to you)
I hope the resources listed refresh your soul, put your heart in the right Christmas spirit, and fill you to OVERflowing!
Merry Christmas,
Sherry

Last December, I ran an Advent Series all over on: the Soul H2O Radio & Podcast Show, through the Soul H2O Devotions, and on Instagram Lives. I focussed on all the aspect of Advent and learned a lot! I didn’t grow up in a tradition that celebrated Advent so, it was super insightful and gave new depth to some of our Christmas traditions and why we do them.

A Real Chip Off The Old Block
Have you ever heard the saying…
She or he’s a real chip off the old block?

Soul H2O Devotion

A Real Chip Off The Old Block
I can look at my kids and see their gifts and misgivings. Most often I recognize how the way they are, seems to be a lot like me. Brandon has always cared about the underdog and never been good at sleeping because he hates to miss out on things. Shelby’s a geek with excel like me, she’s fun-loving like her momma and inherited the clutzy gene too.
Their chips, are often chunks off the old block.

“Chip Off The Old Block”
That phrase a chip off the old block makes me think of Isaiah 51:1 that challenges us to inquire about things, to ask the deeper questions when it says:

“Listen to me, all who hope for deliverance— all who seek the LORD! Consider the rock from which you were cut, the quarry from which you were mined.
Isaiah 51:1 NLT

Do you realize what this verse is getting you to ask?
Who’s the block you’ve been chopped off?
The Block & Chip Maker
Psalm 139:13-14 confirms that God created and formed you in your mother’s womb and Genesis 1:27 makes clear that God made you in His image, are you starting to see that Isaiah 51:1 is hinting that you’re a chip off the old block from the one who made you in HIS image?

Graphic from Soul H2O Show Episode 120

No matter if you’re short, tall, skinny, curvy, shy, bold, dark skinned, freckled or fair… how you’ve been made is wonderful. You’re a real chip off the old block and your creator is so happy with his work! Don’t let the enemy of your soul cause you to feel less than.
Live in the confidence that God made you and He loves you! You are A Real Chip Off The Old Block, made in the image of God, how can you be anything, but good?

Prayer

Father… Thank You God for recording truth in Your Word that tells me what You think about me. Help me combat the lies I’ve believed about myself and help this new revelation sink deep into my soul. I am a chip off Your block, created in Your image. I am good! In Jesus Name…Amen

Wanna go a little deeper?

In Episode 120 on the Soul H2O Show I go a little deeper with this devotion and share some more insights to help build confidence in WHO GOD SAYS YOU ARE!

Gather The Girls Together!

Right from the heart of God… a call to Gather The Girls Together!

Soul H2O Devotion

The Lord said, Gather The People Together
and I will give them water.
Numbers 21:16

Gather The Girls Together
I read this verse and was blown away that I’d never noticed it before. It was a timely word the Lord brought to my attention earlier this week. I feel it was just another confirmation that we’re doing the right thing by putting the Refresh Conference on next Saturday. Answering an ancient call to gather God’s people together, so they can be refreshed by Him!

Where The People Were At

In the portion of Scripture where this verse comes from, the people of God were tired and worn out. They’d been fighting battle after battle. One of their favourite leaders; Aaron, the brother of Moses had just died. They wandered around the desert, thirsty for water to feed their bodies and souls.

The struggle was so intense it says in verses 4-5 of this chapter that they began to grumble and complain about how difficult their circumstances were and God got fed up with their bad attitude.

I know you’d never be like that, but me…
I might be a little #guilty of it!

I Don’t Have It All Figured Out
I don’t write this to you as someone who’s gotten this right all the time, but someone who keeps picking herself off the floor whenever she falls. God sees your human frailty and loves you in spite of it.
This verse is so amazing to me because right after the people failed their test of faith, God still gives them a promise and brings them to the water.
I believe God has something great for you at the Refresh Conference. It’s no mistake you bought a ticket, or someone bought it for you.
Get Yourself Ready
I encourage you to start spending time in prayer today, asking God to prepare your heart for what He’s about to do in you! I know He wants to build you UP!
We’ve been gathering HIS girls online for the past couple of years and now *live* an in-person! If you’re one of the girls who’s answered the call and is coming the Refresh Conference next Saturday… I can’t wait to see you!
If you know of anyone sitting on the fence about coming or God has brought them to your mind as you’re reading, why not contact them and see if they might join you… but don’t delay, today is the last day to buy tickets (details below).
Hope to cya soon!
In His Grip,
Sherry
xoxo
