I was born in Detroit, MI to a couple who are still happily married. I consider my parents one of my greatest blessings. They brought me up with love and faith.

I taught elementary school for over 25 years. Due to a brain tumor, I developed clinical depression and quit my job. With God's grace I faced my GIANTS and started a new life as an author. My passion is to use personal trials to encourage others in their walk with God.

My second book, Divine Interruptions: A Bible Study Through The Book Of Job is now available on Amazon. I share my struggle recovering from brain surgery and align the experience with lessons found in this wonderful story.

My newest writing adventure is in creating the Sadie Sunshine Cozy Mystery Series. School Lunch is

When a reader shares how one of my devotions has touched their life, it fills me with joy. Christian service is an honor and I thank God for the gifts He has given me. We are to comfort others with the comfort we ourselves have been given through Christ Jesus so, I strive to do this daily. (less)

再战2026世界杯?梅西是众望所归 C罗是赖着不走

再战2026世界杯?梅西是众望所归 C罗是赖着不走

“我会留在这里,直到我、教练和足协都认为我需要离开为止。”欧预赛的赛前发布会,C罗如是说道。即将迎来200场里程碑的他,显然不想退出国家队,甚至是在“暗示”想踢2026世界杯。然而相比于梅西,C罗恐怕未必就那么“受欢迎”。

2022“最后一舞”:无缘顶峰相见

去年世界杯,媒体最爱炒作的话题,就是梅西和C罗的最后一舞。双骄都是第五次参加世界杯,一个35岁,一个37岁,四年之后都已在不惑上下,普遍认为不会再战了。

更有意思的是,阿根廷和葡萄牙在淘汰赛分属不同半区,这意味着梅西和C罗若想第一次在世界杯上碰面,只有一种可能:会师决赛,顶峰相见!若真如此,那无疑就是最后一舞的最好结局,也必将轰动世界足坛。

然而,梅西如约而至,带领阿根廷队进入决赛,但他却没有等来C罗,因为葡萄牙

Quotes by Cheryl Zelenka  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Where do you find hope, and in what shape or form does it rest?
I say to you now that absolute and genuine hope is found only in Christ Jesus. He is never far way and always within your grasp. He expects you to seek Him, but when you do He is quickly found. Only upon your discovery of Christ will you recognize the desperate condition of your soul, and through glorious and supernatural revelation comprehend that it was this living Hope who graciously discovered and delivered you.”
Cheryl Zelenka

“Trials are intended to make us think, to wean us from the world, to send us to the Bible, to drive us to our knees.” ~ J.C. Ryle”
Cheryl Zelenka, Facing Storms: Devotions for Thought & Meditation

“The dirty laundry of our confessed sin belongs in the Lord’s laundry hamper; for there He will toss them like mismatched socks as far as the east is from the west.”
Cheryl Zelenka

“Broken Places

“It is by willfully choosing to trust in the strength God offers, to heal our broken places, that we find encouragement and a deeper relationship with our Father.”
Cheryl Zelenka, Facing Trials: Thoughts for Meditation

“God Does Not Compare The Flowers In His Garden

A rose is beautiful, but so is an iris. Both are flowers and both are beautiful. However, they bloom in different seasons and they both have different aromas. They both glorify God but in different and unique ways.

That is how we are in God’s eyes. We are beautiful and unique flowers in His heavenly flower garden. He adores and treasures each and every one of us.”
Cheryl Zelenka, Facing Trials: Thoughts for Meditation

“God Is The Artist Of Your Landscape

Will things always work out in the way you hope and want? Of course not! You are not the illustrator of your life painting. God has all the hues and brush strokes worked out. The painting He is creating, thanks to the struggle He has given you, is a masterpiece.”
Cheryl Zelenka

“Fruits of the Spirit

GOODNESS and KINDNESS live in the hearts of those who have suffered greatly, as the wounded tend to learn compassion through their misery. GENTLENESS is born out of the adversity that has challenged a believer, but who has then released all hopes for vindication to the power of God. PEACE is a fruit that grows from seeds of trust. LOVE matures as we learn to give up pieces of ourselves for the benefit of others, knowing full well that every piece we loose is replaced by an even more wondrous portion of Christ. JOY comes from knowing God and experiencing His strength during trials. PATIENCE is learned through experiences of long-suffering and allows the saint to move forward on his earthy journey, while always longing for his real home in heaven. FAITHFULNESS means commitment. It is a sold-out attitude and stance that resonates a belief in God’s unquestionable ability to do the impossible. Finally, the believer who suffers in the name of Christ for love’s sake grows in SELF-CONTROL. With this final fruit, the temptations of the devil lesson and loose their power. We gain strength by gaining self-control.”

“Troubles of Straw Spun Into Gold

Just as in the fairy tale RUMPELSTILTSKIN, God will spin your straw into gold. You won’t know how He does it, but He will.”
