Saturday Share with Ruth Snell: The Rest of the Story

~ Lisa Brittain

Welcome to Saturday Share!SS colossians 2.2

The purpose of this weekly feature is to provide a space for regular people to share their real-life encounters with Jesus.  It’s about living in the middle – on the way to the finish line.  Our race isn’t finished as long as there’s still breath in our lungs.

I believe we sharpen one another and delight God’s heart when we testify of His great work in our lives.  Be encouraged to put one foot in front of the other, and spur someone on while you’re at it!

My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.  Colossians 2:2-3 NIV

I am honored to welcome my feature Saturday Share writer:

The Rest of the Story…

By Ruth Snell

Once every summer in the 1980’s my husband, John and I would do a road trip with our three children to my hometown of Canton, IL.  While we were staying with my parents we would often listen to Paul Harvey’s radio show, The Rest of the Story.  Paul told heart-warming stories with some key parts not shared until the end.

Last “Saturday Share” with Lisa Brittain, I had the joy of sharing, Applaud and Declare, a God encounter as friends and I met on Wednesday, May 2.  In the middle of interceding for overwhelming needs in our extended families, I felt led, to Psalm 107.   In the midst of reading and praying this Psalm, I felt compelled to applaud the Faithfulness of God.

So let me tell you “the rest of the story”…

We’re moving everything over to my new place so click here to read The Rest of the Story…

I am an avid follower of Jesus. I have been since my early twenties when I met Him personally and received dramatic healing in my body and mind. After many years of marriage and raising sons into the teen years, I was challenged to explore the duplicity of my spoken faith followed up by fearful actions. I received the challenge presented by both of my sons. They love me and so they dared to confront me with the truth. Chips off my proverbial block! I determined then {more than a decade ago} to overcome fear with faith that was more than words. In my late 40's I made a decision to leave the desert wandering behind and set out to pursue the abundant life Jesus promised His disciples. I am a tentmaker {actually a reupholsterer} by day, which helps to support the call God has on my life to serve Him in my community. I thoroughly enjoy my work. Repairing and restoring throw-away furniture is a fulfilling creative outlet. More so, my Cheer House Repair and Restore business opens the door for me to interact with my community. My passion is to walk so closely to Jesus that others want to know Him too. I love to introduce women to Him as we walk, talk, and work together hand in hand through everyday life. Nothing thrills me more than to watch someone fall so in love with Jesus through His word and conversation; learning to trust His heart and receive His great love! I have been married to my dear man for over 30 rollercoaster years. We're simply thrilled that our latter days are more joyful and purposeful than our first. Together we have two - grown young men on their own journeys. Additionally, we share our home with 3 lively rescue pups. I look forward to having you join me on this journey of faith... Bold feet, humble heart Psalm 131 ~ Lisa
