He brought me out into a spacious place;
He rescued me … Psalm 18:19
Relationships are what define my life: my relationship with God, husband, three children, family and friends.
I am a soul sculptor. I spend my time nurturing my family and I am passionate about helping people who live with pain.
For the past 20 years, I have been on a journey with daily physical pain. The scriptures that I share on “A Spacious Place” are verses that have encouraged, challenged and inspired me, while I have been on the path of pain. Click here to read about more about my story.

You are invited to share your comments about the verses and to share verses that touch your heart.
If you are on twitter let me know and I will “follow” you.

In reading Oswald Chambers this morning he quoted this passage:
“When they were alone, He explained all things to His disciples.” Mark 4:34
I wrote several Haikus this morning in response to this word.
When I am alone with you
I experience your peace
You know my story so well
Your story saves me
I long to share your story
Your presence gives life to me
A mystery to be told
Never understood
Good words bring healing and life. Blessings on this blog and you my dear Sara.
Love, dad
A poem based on Psalm 66:12
I live in a spacious place
Where I find rest everyday
I come believing in love
He keeps His promise

Sara,
Thanks for visiting my blog and writing about the Compassion trip. I was blown away by their stories and photos. I have taken the liberty and looked around your blog… I have enjoyed it and will be back again often as well as adding it to my reader. Be blessed !

I am a student in two of your Father’s classes at Woodmont Hills Church. I found myself praying for you, and asking the holy spirit what I could share with you how I am able to endure pain…Should I send her remidies from web sites I had searched? has she tried meditation? how about yoga? these are the thoughts of my mortal mind.
As I began my day I read my emails for the day, for the first time I read post to you web site, this is the answer given me by the holy spirit, “That life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh” 2 Corinthians 4:10
I too read from Oswald Chambers. From my journal he is quoted today stating, “Our circumstances are the means of manifesting how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure the Son of God is.” I am reminded even as I suffer from lack of work, and pain within my body to gloryfy God. This is not easy to do, yet I have found that there is a “peace that comes over me that passes all understanding”, where I find rest, and so have you.
Interesting…
Thank you for visiting my site. I’ve added you to my blogroll … blessings to you -
Hi, Love the blog and look forward to taking part in your journey through it. Again love the name soul sculptor – we all have a tremendous influence in others that often we don’t take the responsibility for – what a great phrase to remind us.

Sara!
Thank you for sharing your story. It is so powerful! I have been plagued with stomach pain for the last 4 years and it was just alleviated by surgery! I am thanking God every day for the new life He has given me to enjoy. My headaches have flared since and my neurologist is sending me to a different one who specializes in headaches more.
I want to thank you and your father for encouraging me as new Twitter friends and by example to tell my story! And thank you for being my first follower in the new blog telling it. I’ve put your blog on my blog roll, because I love this blog.
Your inner beauty and faith shine through your pain! I am praying you and the doctors find your solution soon!

I so appreciated your kindness to me and my daughter at the end of the VBS week. Thank you for blessing us and for leaving such a sweet fragrance. We also loved being with your little guy.
