You know, there's some parts of my story that I did not want to tell.

And God said to my part, would you rather than think well of you or well of me?

And I said, Lord, I want to think well of you.

What a great perspective on what can come when you share your life story with others.

Our guest today on Focus on the Family is Sharon James and your host is Focus President

and author Jim Daley, I'm John Fuller.

You know, we often want to hide the failures of our past or perhaps the less than ideal

circumstances that our family of origin was about.

But if you want to know how far a person has come, you need to see where they've been.

And that's why we love featuring stories like the one you're about to hear from Sharon

James.

Sharon has been on this broadcast, I think twice in the past, and she's a highly regarded

Bible teacher and the author of over 20 books.

That's pretty prolific.

And she's also the former vice president of Proverbs 31 Ministries.

But I think she would say her two most important credentials are wife and mother.

Well, here's Sharon James, speaking at Women's Weekend, sponsored by Sandy Cove Ministries

in Northeast Maryland on today's Focus on the Family.

I grew up in Eastern North Carolina in a little town called Rocky Mount, anybody heard

of Rocky Mount?

Why?

You were on 95, right?
