I am Sharay Shines and I am foremost a child of God and a disciple of Christ Jesus. I am an author, professional blogger, entrepreneur and real estate investor. I’ve been blessed to be wife to a great man of God and we are parents to an awesome woman of God. I have a passion for sharing the message of Christ Jesus and the truth of God’s word.  I love traveling, interior design, fashion, dancing, going to the beach, cooking, enjoying family/friends, and hunting for great deals.

I am just a regular person with a love for life. I am still work in progress, far, far and away from perfect, very human and taking life by the horns. What I do have is my life experiences, a bountiful relationship with God, a believer’s knowledge of the Word of God , a humble spirit and an eager heart to be that which I was created for. God has called us all to be his witness, but for me in particular he called me to witness to the great and powerful things he has done and is doing in my life.

Mission

Hopeinthehollow.com was created to share the Light and Hope of Christ Jesus to the world through the infallible word of God, witness and testimony.  This site strives to encourage readers that a hope filled life and lifestyle in Christ Jesus is possible for all believers. Our hope for those who do not know our Lord and Savior, is that they would come to know, repent, love, and give their lives to Christ Jesus.

Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Many people suffer with feeling hopeless, lonely, depressed, anxious, burdened or full of despair. Many more have anger or deal with addictions, unforgiveness, self pity and a complaining spirit. Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, Hopeinthehollow.com uses biblical teachings, actionable tips and relatable topics that shed the light of Christ Jesus, into dark places.  HopeintheHollow.com is for anyone who wants to live in the freedom, healing, love, power, peace, joy and hope of Christ Jesus.
