What happens when God calls a 60-something grandmother to hit the road in a transit van to create prophetic art for strangers? Sharon Elmendorf's extraordinary journey shows us that divine purpose often arrives in unexpected packages.
For nine years, Sharon and her husband have traversed America's highways in their meticulously organized van, following a clear directive: "stop for one, stop for some." Through watercolor art, she delivers messages that speak directly to people's hearts in ways she couldn't possibly know through human understanding alone. This radical mid-life transformation offers a powerful testament to following spiritual guidance, even when it leads to unfamiliar territory.
The conversation shifts to the universal challenge of mothering adult children. Sharon's wisdom, earned through raising four daughters and nurturing nineteen grandchildren, centers on a profound yet simple approach: "Don't say, but pray." She shares how her adult children have finally begun to understand her perspective now that they're raising their own families, with one daughter recently acknowledging, "Y'all didn't raise us that way. I am so sorry."
Most compelling is Sharon's vulnerable account of emotional healing. She describes a divine encounter where God used "the sword of the Spirit" to address unhealed wounds in her heart. When confronting her deepest pain, God surprised her by collecting the "soil" in a golden flowerpot, explaining, "this is the soil from which others will grow." This powerful metaphor illustrates how our most painful experiences become the foundation for helping others heal.
The episode concludes with Sharon's passionate endorsement of forgiveness as essential to wellbeing. Through her experience of being deeply wounded by slander, she learned that blessing those who hurt us "changes us first," gradually transforming resentment into genuine compassion.
