    Prayers to DOROTHY’s family, and how touching to see the impact she had on so many here. Thank you for Searching, Sharon, Jersey Girl, Kelly (NEO), and others who prayed, I am better today.

  4. Christina Sach says:

    I can’t find the Facebook page either. I’m only seeing cars. I see the main she reads truth Facebook page but I feel like that’s not what y’all are talking about.

  5. Adrienne says:

    CHANGED LIFE… yay!

  6. Changed Life says:

    @Adrienne—I found it! Thanks so much! ❤️

  7. Adrienne says:

    CHANGED LIFE (CARRIE HUTTON). I searched for you on FB, but I don’t know which profile is yours. What is your profile pic? For sisters wishing to join, I just typed SRT in the “search Facebook” bar and the group popped up. You could probably also search for Rhonda Johnson’s page and go from there

    Blessings!

  8. Changed Life says:

    @Rhonda J, I am also in a funk having heard of Dorothy’s passing last summer. It feels other-worldly to mourn for a sister that we have never met. But we get a taste of that here with this group…the other-world that we are truly meant for, as God’s people. Perhaps that is one thing Dorothy taught us in her faith. It has inspired me to make a point of posting comments on a more regular basis.

    I’ve tried locating SRT She”s on FB, but I’m getting hot-rod type web pages. Is there a way for someone to invite or connect to me so that I can pull it up? I’m Carrie Hutton on FB, from Monument, Colorado. I appreciate any help as I am not a FB wizard. God bless you lovely ladies!

    We have our annual meeting tomorrow at church. I will be remembering Dorothy as we light our ‘In Remembrance’ candles for those lost in 2023.

  9. Sharon, Jersey Girl says:

    @Linda K – Don’t know if you’ll see this so late in the day, but I think if you type in the search bar on FaceBook, this name – SRT She”s — it should pop up. Hope you find us!

  10. Linda K says:

    Hello Shes how do you find the She Reads Truth Facebook Page

    ❤️

    Candle lit as I plant some ‘bridal crown’ daffodils in remembrance of DOROTHY..

    What a beautiful verse for us today as we light candles and remember one of our own, even though we never met her. Dorothy, for sure touched our hearts with her comments, love and encouragements..
    Here’s one I wrote down, as the other I chose RHONDA J.. mentioned..

    BE BLESSED AND LISTEN, READ, TAKE IN AND APPRECIATE GOD, CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT..
    Rest peaceful dear sister, we will remember you..❤️

    Happy Saturday my loves, wrapped in love and hugs and always covered in prayers..❤️

  13. Donna Wolcott says:

    ️My real candle is burning, I sent a sympathy card to the funeral home. Perhaps she is looking down with big smile and feeling the love ❤️. Prayers for Tracy and her family. Remembering each of you today. Blessings .

  14. Mia Faith says:

    Praying for all the requests and lighting a candle for Dorothy. I’m here daily, but always feel I’m a little late to post. I think I will start posting more regularly anyway. Love to you!

  15. Adrienne says:

    Ah, KRISTY, I will not think of getting dressed in the morning in quite the same way now. Once upon a time, the “full armor of God” was something I was told to envision putting on each day. It was kinda hard to reconcile the armor with clothes of today. This is better!

    Get dressed this am, sweet sisters, (and light your candles in remembrance of our sweet Dorothy!)

  16. Cheryl Blow says:

    We are in this world but not of this world! Our citizenship is in heaven!

  17. Michelle Patire says:

    @Rhonda J- excited to know you started a FB SRT page. I am praying about coming back to social media. I take a break twice a year to focus on my relationship with God. Hope to join some of you there soon. ❤️

  18. Michelle Patire says:

    @ Cherrie Brewer ❤️*** just saying hi

    1. CHERRIE BREWER says:

      Thank you

  19. Michelle Patire says:

    Good morning, Shes. I am grateful we can be here for one another and continue in prayer for each other’s needs… as well as honoring the lives of whom we get to know here (Dorothy). ❤️

    @Taylor – thinking of you and your parents. Hope you are feeling okay today and continue staying near to the Lord. ❤️

    @Sarah D ❤️

    @Cherrie Brewer

    God bless all needs spoken & unspoken.

  20. Sharon, Jersey Girl says:

    We sometimes wonder if we are “seen”, if our life matters, if we are reaching anyone for Christ – then this…we lose a dear sister that we didn’t personally know, yet we knew her and share in the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Oneness and body of Christ, the family of God and love her as if she was our own. Dorothy touched the lives of many and will truly be missed in this community.

    I too have my candle lit in remembrance of her & signed the guestbook. This scripture is a reminder that Dorothy’s hope has now come to fruition, she has received her inheritance that will never perish, her salvation has been revealed. May God pass on all our words of remembrance to our dear sister Dorothy.

    “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 1 Peter 1:3-5

    @Jennifer Anapol – praying that God will give you peace and strength to battle your anxiety ever time it rears it’s ugly head.
    @Taylor – praise the Lord you tested negative and so far have not gotten sick. May God continue to protect your health.
    @Victoria E. – praying that this stomach bug will quickly pass!
    @Changed Life – continued prayers for your former pastor who is battling cancer.
    @Rhonda J. – praying for your friend Tracy, so sorry that it has returned with such vengeance. also THANK YOU for starting an SRT Sisters FaceBook page! I hope to “meet” a lot of sisters there!

    Have a wonderfully blessed Saturday, and may each heart prepare to worship the Lord tomorrow so that the fallow ground of our hearts will be “broken up”, ready to receive the Word.

  21. Libby K says:

    And the things of earth will go strangely dim….

  22. Rhonda J. says:

    Let’s keep sharing our love for Dorothy on the guestboob! (muehlebachchapel dot com obituaries slash dorothy-saller) a testimony for her family of how the love of Jesus as Dorothy had can influence so many people! The ripples of love! I’m sure it will give them comfort and peace.

  23. Kim Mullins says:

    This world is not our home. This has been my life verse since I came back to the Lord 20 years ago❤️

  24. Stephanie Wilsey says:

    Amen!

  25. Rhonda J. says:

    Good morning friends/sisters/she’s

    I have my candle lit for dear Dorothy and remembering her influence and joy on us. I am listening to a song that made me think of her last night and wanted to suggest…If I’ve Got Jesus by Ben Fuller. She had Jesus through her hardships and it showed, and the trumpet sounded and she got to go home. Fly high our Dorothy, you will be so missed.

    I am kinda in a funk of sadness between Dorothy and I found out last night that a dear friend that I met in our Enduring Chronic Pain group and she also came to my Sat group, received bad news that her bone cancer is back, and the treatment she had as a last hope is not working and her liver is on the verge of failing. It made me so sad for her and her family. And then that led me to our dear Lynn that received that bad news this week for her husband….and I’m like God…it’s so awful, and the why must we suffer SO much pain when we love you…But the study we are on is the only hope to the sadness, that restoration is here. Jesus suffered. Jesus wept. FOR restoration. That is the only hope.

    My friends name is Tracy. If you could say a prayer for her this morning that she will remain in peace and be with her family.

  26. Searching says:

    (My lit candle – may not work)

    1. Lindsey Bradley says:

      It totally worked! How creative, honoring, and special!

  30. Erica Chiarelli says:

    When things seem so hard, I must remember this world is not my home. I’m passing through and these hard times are not what is eternal…this too shall pass!

  31. Lauren Ory says:

    Amen

  32. Cee Gee says:

    SEARCHING, Thank you for posting those verses! I had planned to do that too, but when I read today’s verse – wow! It wiped out ‘my plan’. You said exactly what I meant to say! ❤ Love you, sister!

  33. Searching says:

    Joining CEE GEE with a candle this morning to honor our friend DOROTHY. She was a bright light in this community, pointing us all to the light of Christ’s love.

    1 John 1:7 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

    John 8:12 12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

    ADRIENNE – praying as you think about attending Dorothy’s memorial, and that your husband will understand the desire to make the effort for her family. Such a kindness that you are considering it.

    I also posted on her guest book, good to see that other sisters have posted as well. May our words of appreciation for her comfort her family in some way.

  34. Fabi . says:

    Help me to remember O God that all this is temporary. That I am living for something much greater.

  35. Cee Gee says:

    In honor of Dorothy this morning, the candle is burning, creating beautiful movement on the ceiling. This verse is so needed today.

    LYNNE FROM ALABAMA – Praying God sends just the right people to work with Jack (through hospice care). There will be encouragement for you as well. Love you and praying for adjustment to this new normal for you both.❤

    Praying for all other needs as well. God bless you, sweet Shes!

    DOROTHY posted this on GRACE DAY, May 27, 2023:

    “Lord, watch over us as we go about our day and weekend and next week. Keep us in Your loving, caring and compassionate hands. Amen.

    Be blessed and pass on God’s, Christ’s and the Holy Spirit’s love wherever you go sisters.”
