“THE SOJOURNER CHRONICLES-Walking the Road of Stratiotology and Malakosis.”
By Sharon (SD) Mac
WHAT YOU’LL FIND HERE:
- Letter to Stephen (Steve) Mac
These are the letters I never thought I’d share…The ones full of honesty, love, longing, grief, and gratitude…The ones I whispered in silence when I didn’t know how to breathe…
They’re not polished…They’re not pretty…They’re just real, and they are part of my healing…
2. The Pilgrim Sojourner Road (Travel Updates)
As I begin my journey from Texas to California and beyond, I’ll share updates from the road…The miles, the stops, the people, the places, the unexpected God moments…
Photos, videos, stories, sponsor shout-outs, lessons from the highway, and grace in motion…
Every mile has a meaning…
3. Grief & Grace
Loosing Steve Mac changed everything…Some days the grief still hits like a wave…Other days, grace comes in so quietly I almost miss it…
Here I’ll talk about the parts of healing no one sees…The Setbacks, the breakthroughs, the nights in tears, and the mornings when God whispered, “Get up. Keep going.”
4. Food, Adventures, Travels & Stories Along the Way
Steve Mac and I always bonded through food,adventures and travels. We tried everything…from Del Taco with my dad (our real first date) to Buc-ee’s snacks on our midnight bike rides and drives…From hiking and taking night pictures of the city, mountains, rivers and oceans…Riding our bikes on the back roads…Flying to different places and chasing the storms…
So, on this journey, I’ll be sharing the places I stop to eat, the adventures that awaits me, the places that I will travel…the memories they bring, and the stories that unfold while I’m out there on the road.
Food, Adventure, Travels, joy, laughter, nostalgia-all of it!
5. Rebuilding Life
After Steve passed, I had to rebuild my life from the ground up. Zero savings…Zero plan…Zero sleep…
Just God and the determination to survive…
Here I’ll talk about what rebuilding really feels like: The Fear, the faith, learning new skills, living with less, depending on God alone, and finding strength I didn’t know I had, ONLY by the grace of God!
6. Stratiotology Teachings
Stephen (Steve) Mac taught me Stratiotology, living as a soldier of Christ, holding the line with discipline, courage, truth, and Scripture. He also taught me Malakosis the softening of the heart. Because a soldier without compassion becomes hardened, and a heart without strength becomes fragile.
These posts continue the work he started, ALL for the glory of God, not for legacy.
Soli Deo Gloria — To God alone be the glory.
“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” -2Timothy 2:3
“Resolved, never to give over, nor in the least to slacken, my fight with my corruptions, however unsuccessful I may be.” -Jonathan Edwards, Resolution, 56
