Hi friends! My name is Jill Sparrow and I’m so glad you’re checking out my blog! Here’s a little bit about me:
I grew up a PK and if you don’t know, that’s means; “Preacher’s Kid.” Even though I grew up in the church, I lost my way somewhere in my teens and realized in my 20’s that I never actually had a relationship with God. I just went to church because that’s what we did. Discovering a God who loved me and wanted a relationship with me, completely changed and transformed my life. This life-changing relationship continues to transform me daily. I am a work in progress!
After God, my husband and my two boys are my life. Time has flown by and my little babies are now 17 and 18 years old. They are my gifts from God. When I lost my way, I began struggling with an eating disorder in my teens and after many years and nearly dying, I finally gave my life fully over to God. He healed me and set me free from what the world says is incurable!! My boys truly are gifts from God, because I was told I may never have children due to the damage done to my body. But God! He is so faithful! When I began a relationship with God, I discovered the Truth in Jesus and the Bible that sets me free, that never changes and that has the power to save, heal and deliver! Hence, the name of this blog – Loving and Living Truth Every Day.
An ex NY Girl, I now live in sunny Southwest Florida and love that the sun is shining every day. I have lived here long enough that I can now tolerate the heat more than the NY cold. My husband and I pastor Integrity Church and also founded and oversee a ministry called Integrity Homes that gives those in need a hand up. We love to serve God by loving His people. I also homeschool my 2 boys and love being an active part of their lives every day; watching them grow into amazing young men.
I graduated with a BA in Communications, with a concentration in Journalism, so I love to write and encourage others. Besides this blog, I have written a few books. How to Get Out of Bondage & Walk in Victory is my testimony of how God delivered and set me free from an eating disorder and lifestyle of bondage. I also co-authored Rob & Jill’s Relationship Rules with my husband, which shares some rules we have learned along the way that will improve any relationship in life. We also co-authored Date Night Devotional, which is a tool for couples to grow closer to God on their weekly date nights. All of these books can be purchased on Amazon.
Well, that’s a little about me. If you want to hear some more of my testimony, there’s a video below. Again, I’m so glad you are here! I love feedback, so be sure to let me know what God is doing in your life lately. Blessings!
