D.O.S.S. Blog
Hello! I am Sherri T. Radney and I am a D.O.S.S. I know you are wondering what is a D.O.S.S. It means Descendants of Saria>Sarah. The Lord has put upon my heart that I needed to start a ministry or platform to encourage Christians, especially working women. When I say working women I'm not talking about just those of us who go to work for a corporation, business, or entrepreneurs. I am talking about women working for the Lord. But that is another subject I will address at another time. So I asked a few close friends and I said I think I should start a blog and they agreed with me. So this is how the D.O.S.S. blog was born.
As a working woman and a Christian, I have struggles. I too need encouragement to stay focus on Christ in a world that is so full of deceit and lies. A world that wants you to conform to its ways. I really pondered over what my blog should be called. I was even at work doodling on paper some acronyms that I thought would sound good. Eventually, the Holy Spirit came upon my heart and showed me that we are all daughters of Sarah, Abraham's wife, from the Bible. I realized then that we are the promised children of Saria, who became Sarah, through Christ. We are royal prince and princesses who have the depths of the earth at our fingertips to make impactful change, to transform lives, and to build the kingdom of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
As a D.O.S.S. I recognize that I am not without flaws and false pretensions. Like our mother Saria I have feelings of doubt, anger, jealousy, fear, hurt, loneliness, being impatient, and the list can go on. But God helps us to overcome all of these things in our walk with Christ. My favorite scripture 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us how to overcome all of these false pretensions against the knowledge of God. It's our thoughts that hold us captive and keeps us from being free. Like Sarah, we have to trust God's promises for our lives even when we feel that
"I'm never going to get married"…
Or "I'm never going to have a child"…
Or "I'm never going to have a successful career" …
Or "I'm never going to get out this slump"...
Or "I'm not good enough."
Saria laughed at God when he told her she would have Isaac. But God had all power and authority and he knew Saria would be a mother to his promised people. As a sign of the covenant, God changed her name from Saria to Sarah meaning princess or noblewoman. God had already predestined for Sarah to be the mother of a great nation. A nation of God's chosen people who now includes all of us who have given our lives to Christ. As Galatians 4:21-31 explains we all are the daughters of Sarah, the free women through Christ. We are D.O.S.S.!
