It’s been a while since I hosted the delightful Sharon Dunn. I first met her online when I endorsed her humorous mystery. Cow Crimes & The Mustang Menace. What a stitch that book was! Now Sharon writes regularly for Love Inspired Suspense. Here’s Sharon who shares not only the struggle her characters face but the same in her own life:

Your past choices do not determine your future.

That is the journey the heroine of my new Love Inspired Suspense Montana Standoff has to make. As a teenager Sarah Langston became pregnant and gave the baby up for adoption. Now ten years later, the father of that baby has come back into her life. Can they repair the damage that was done and rekindle a love that happened too quickly? People can have a second chance at a first love, but both Sarah and Bryan have to learn to forgive themselves and each for the destructive choices they made all those years ago.

In my own life,

I too am learning the value of forgiving myself. After years of being overweight, I am out of excuses and need to get healthy. I have a stronger motivation than ever before. My husband has been diagnosed with a very serious and difficult to treat cancer and I may be the only parent my kids have in a few years.
Now that’s motivation~

It has been less than a month and I have lost somewhere between 7 to 10 pounds, I joined a gym and am exercising every day.

One of the keys to not feeling defeated~

and wanting to give up is getting past my mess ups by repenting and forgiving myself. If I don’t do that, the little mess up of eating too much or eating the wrong thing just gets bigger in my mind and pretty soon I’m drowning in a sea of self condemnation. My past choice of indulging in pasta or eating the cupcake does not determine my future as a healthy person.

I’m always amazed at how my guests share their lives so openly on this blog.

QUESTION: HAVE YOU EVER KICKED YOURSELF FOR SOMETHING YOU’VE DONE? HOW DID YOU GET PAST THE EXPERIENCE OR ARE YOU STILL STRUGGLING?–Lyn

  1. Valri, so glad to hear you like books about Montana. I love living in MT though as I get older I understand why so many Montanians go south for the winter. So sorry to hear about your chronic pain. There is nothing to forgive though. You did not get sick on purpose. I don’t know why you have to go through this anymore than I know why my hubby has cancer. I just know it makes everything more precious– every conversation, every meal together, every shared joke. Where ever you are at. I hope you have the chance to feel the sun on your face and know that God is with you in the pain and the confusion.

  2. Enjoyed your post, Sharon! Your book looks great! Anything about Montana I read. We lived in Montana for 4 years and I loved it. Such a pretty state. I think we have all have done things we regret and we could “do over” but that’s a fact of life – how we learn to be better people! I have lots of health problems and sometimes it’s very hard to “forgive” myself for being in bed part of the day when I’ve always been super active but I know it’s because I’m in a lot of pain & I know it’s just a new part of my life now! It’s HARD to accept new changes in your life!!!!
