    [su_spoiler title="Read transcript for The Perfect Rescuer - Jesus' Story" icon="arrow-circle-1"] Speaker 1 (00:04): Welcome to the Christmas edition of the Sweet Selah moments podcast. We are so glad that right in the middle of decking those halls, you have decided to stop for a while with us. We hope you will feel refreshed and blessed as you listen today. The Sweet Selah moments podcast is brought to you by Word Radio and Sweet Selah Ministries. Nicole (00:29): Welcome to the Sweet Selah moments Christmas podcast season. This is episode 27, The Perfect Rescuer: Jesus's Story. As we finish season two of our podcast, what better way to end than with Jesus, the true hero of the story? Sharon, have you ever had to be rescued or have you ever been the one to rescue in a situation? Sharon (00:50): Oh yes. I've been rescued several times over the course of my life. I'm a little oblivious to traffic at times and Ray has pulled me out of harm's way in parking lots and street crossings more times than I can recount. He's always like you are going to get yourself run over. Nicole (01:09): Oh no, that's too funny. Sharon (01:10): So, but I've also had two scary plane rides where the pilots of the planes were the heroes and helped us land safely. Nicole (01:15): Oh wow. Sharon (01:16): Want to hear them? Nicole (01:17): I would love to. Sharon (01:18): You still need to promise me you'll fly after this. Nicole (01:20): I may not. Sharon (01:22): When we were going to England one time, I was about 11. My parents and I, and my brothers and sister were all on a plane. We were over the Atlantic Ocean coming near Ireland, but not in Ireland. And I had a window seat and I looked out the window and I thought, well, that's funny, there's flames coming from the wing. Nicole (01:40): Oh my gosh. Sharon (01:41): I'm not kidding you. Nicole (01:42): That's horrible. Sharon (01:43): And then a murmur grew as other people were noting the fact that our engine was on fire. So the pilot came on the loudspeaker and confirmed, yes, we have three engines that are working. And one that is on fire. So fortunately for us, we were barely close enough to Shannon Airport to land. We landed not even on a normal runway, one of their older ones, because they wanted to get down as fast as they could obviously. So we got down and we all got off the plane and at 11, I mean, I knew it was serious, but I didn't know how serious. What made me cry was when, and I'll probably cry again cause I always do, was when the pilot and copilot walked off the plane and everybody broke into cheers. Nicole (02:35): Oh, I bet! Sharon (02:35): When I saw grownups crying, I thought, Oh, this was really serious. Nicole (02:41): Yeah, this could have been bad. Sharon (02:41): Right. So ironically and sadly, but weirdly we went back on the same plane. Nicole (02:47): Really! Sharon (02:47): I know. They changed out the engine and we flew the rest of the way to England. So that was interesting. But anyways, it worked fine, obviously. So, but my next, I have two scary plane stories. My next scary plane story is actually what's made plane flying easier for me because, well, I'll explain. It's another story of going to England; I went to England to visit my grandmother right before she died, actually, with my mom. We're com...

  • Longing for a Child. Elizabeth's Story - Episode 26

    Longing for a Child. Elizabeth's Story - Episode 26
    Dec 8 2020

    If you have experienced infertility or child loss or know someone who has, you know what a searing, painful experience it is. Nicole and Sharon share from their personal experience and from the Word of God, what it's like to want a child desperately. Join us for a study of Elizabeth, mother of John the Baptist, who endured years of waiting and scorn, and who did it with grace and faithfulness. Let's talk and encourage one another today.

    [su_spoiler title="Read transcript for Longing for a Child - Elizabeth's Story" icon="arrow-circle-1"] Speaker 1 (00:04): Welcome to the Christmas edition of the Sweet Selah moments podcast. We are so glad that right in the middle of decking those halls, you have decided to stop for a while with us. We hope you will feel refreshed and blessed as you listen today. The Sweet Selah moments podcast is brought to you by Word Radio and Sweet Selah Ministries. Nicole (00:30): Welcome to the Sweet Selah moments Christmas podcast season. This is episode 26, Longing for a Child, Elizabeth's Story. Chances are you either know someone who longs for a child or you are that someone. Deep in many a woman's heart is a desire to someday become a mother. There's a unique ache in the heart of a woman who has long waited to hold a child of her own. Today we're going to look at the story of Elizabeth. Like so many women throughout the centuries, Elizabeth longed for a child that did not come. Until he did in her old age. It's quite the story. Sharon (01:02): Nicole, it's an amazing story. And I'm excited to study it today. You know, the Bible is actually peppered with stories about women who had a hard time becoming mothers. Sarah, for example, knew that God had promised her husband, Abraham, that a great nation would come from their offspring and yet she waited decades until way past when conception was even possible. When Isaac was born Rachel, Jacob's wife, was barren and watched as her sister, also Jacob's wife, had four sons in a row. Hannah, mother to Samuel the prophet was also one of two wives and her rival the other wife had children and Hannah had none until she cried out to the Lord and begged once again, promising to dedicate that baby to the Lord. So story after story of heartache. I am at least glad that the two wife rivalry thing is less likely today, Nicole. Nicole (01:57): Yes. Sharon (01:57): That does not sound fun at all. However, the pain of infertility is still very present. I know many a suffering woman who grieves every month when, once again she discovers that she is not expecting a baby. For four years of my marriage I was that woman. I can remember attending a baby shower once thinking I could handle it and having to leave before I absolutely ruined it by sobbing. I remember dreaming of holding a baby and waking up weeping when I realized it was just a dream. It was miserable. It was hard. And I think the worst of it is you don't know how long it will last or if it will ever end. Nicole (02:38): Oh, I know it's such a deep and terrible pain. Either of the wanting of a baby or the loss of one. It's a strange grief I've found that comes in waves. You don't just dream of or lose an infant. You feel like you've lost a whole lifetime with a growing person too, you know. I find myself saying goodbye to my child at many different stages. Goodbye to a baby and now goodbye to a preschooler and someday goodbye to a high schooler and so on. I think that's why it's a pain that seems to come up over and over again. We envision their whole life with us when we see or feel them for the first time. It can be really tough. Yes. I also know many friends who have tried to adopt or foster and have had their sweet kiddos taken back after sometimes...

  • When God Changes Your Plans. Mary's Story - Episode 25

    When God Changes Your Plans. Mary's Story - Episode 25
    Dec 1 2020

    Mary woke up one morning, expecting to marry Joseph, like she had the morning before that. Then an angel came and told her she would be expecting in a whole different way. From small town girl with a fiancé to the mother of the Son of God and a whole new life that was nothing like the one she had planned. How about you? Has your life gone as planned? Chances are, you have also had disruptions and detours and destination changes. Nicole and Sharon talk about all of this and more on today's podcast. We hope it is an encouragement to you.

    [su_spoiler title="Read transcript for When God Changes Your Plans - Mary's Story" icon="arrow-circle-1"] Speaker 1 (00:04): Welcome to the Christmas edition of the Sweet Selah moments podcast. We are so glad that right in the middle of decking those halls, you have decided to stop for a while with us. We hope you will feel refreshed and blessed as you listen today. The Sweet Selah moments podcast is brought to you by Word Radio and Sweet Selah Ministries. Nicole (00:29): Hey friends, welcome to the Sweet Selah moments Christmas podcast season. This is episode 25 'When God Changes Your Plans: Mary's Story'. Sharon and I are so excited about these next three episodes. We will be looking at key characters in the Christmas story and talking about how their stories intersect with ours. And we are offering a special Christmas Selah moments section in each episode, as a bonus. I'll be sharing an idea for moms with children to help celebrate the reason for the season. And Sharon will be sharing an idea each week on how you and I can meet with God in a special Christmas Selah moment. Whether you are wrapping presents or baking cookies or collapsed by the Christmas tree, listening to this podcast, we hope we will contribute to you having a merrier Christmas because you listened. Sharon (01:14): Nicole, this is fun. I love Christmas. Nicole (01:18): Me too. Sharon (01:19): Well let's get right to it. We are talking today about changed plans. In a moment, we're going to look at the life of Mary who thought she was just going to marry Joseph and settle down and have kids and a quiet life in Nazareth. As we all know that didn't happen. So, Nicole, can you point to a time when God changed your plans? Nicole (01:40): Goodness, I think 2020 has been the year of plan changes. Sharon (01:45): Yes. Nicole (01:45): But I think our big one, one of our big ones, also dealt with babies. Before we had kiddos, Josh and I had like the five-year plan. You're going to wait five years before trying to have kids and get some adult things taken care of first. Well, we only made it to three. At that time I was two months away from major jaw surgery. I had, I have terrible jaw pain that they think is caused by my jaw alignment being off. So we were going to do some surgery and hope that would correct it. I had braces on for a whole year. The braces were on to keep my jaw wired shut for six weeks after the surgery. So this was going to be quite an ordeal. And after a year of braces as an adult, I was ready for the surgery. But at this point I was also battling various health issues and I didn't think we could have kids, or at least I thought we'd have trouble. So I hadn't really put a lot of hope or thought into kids yet. Just kind of a 'we'll cross that bridge when we get to it' kind of hope. So it was a huge surprise right in the middle of all of that to find out that we were pregnant. Sharon (02:52): Okay then. Wow. Nicole (02:55): So no jaw surgery, no big home repairs. On to baby books, huge vitamins, and trying to wrap my head around impending motherhood. Sharon (03:04): Wow. Nicole (03:04): I really like to plan and b...
