Experience God in Everyday Life
The Story and Heart behind AbideTransform
Abide in me, and I in you...”
~John 15:4
My Story
I’m Sharon, the daughter of missionaries, a wife to a wonderful Dutchman, and a mom to one amazing teenage daughter.
Faith has always been an important part of my life. I’ve believed in God for as long as I can remember and grew up going to church, praying faithfully, and studying Scripture. And still, over time, I found myself longing for something more personal. I wanted to experience God not only as Someone I believed in and prayed to, but as a loving Father and close Friend who was present, relational, and near in everyday life.
My own journey began to shift as I learned to slow down, listen, and notice God’s presence in simple, ordinary moments. Gentle rhythms of gratitude, Scripture, listening prayer, and reflection became anchors in my days. These practices were not about doing more for God, but about abiding, resting in His love, and allowing relationship to deepen naturally over time.
Everything I share through AbideTransform has grown out of that personal journey. The rhythms I post, the practices within the community, and the way this space is shaped are all drawn from what has been life giving and formative for me. They have helped me experience God not as distant or abstract, but as present, personal, and engaged in the details of everyday life.
Along the way, I also noticed something important was missing. While these practices nurtured my relationship with God, they were not meant to be lived alone. Growth deepened most when I had space to reflect with others, to speak honestly about what I was noticing, and to be known within safe, grace filled relationships.
That realization is why relationship sits at the heart of AbideTransform. Creating space for genuine connection, both in shared community and in one on one conversations, matters deeply to me. Faith is not only something we practice privately. It is something we live together, learning from one another and walking side by side as we listen for God’s presence and guidance.
AbideTransform exists to offer that kind of space, rooted in abiding, shaped by gentle rhythms, and grounded in relationship.
My hope is that women who enter this space experience the same freedom, attentiveness, and nearness of God that have shaped my own life. If this story resonates, you’re welcome to explore the ways AbideTransform invites women to walk this journey together.
