From a Mother's Heart: Anna Sklar

Anna is the wife of All Nations Church's Associate Pastor, Joshua Sklar, and mother to Josiah and Elijah. She loves to encourage people to connect with God and with each other.

Writing is a passion for her. Anna produces a monthly newsletter, The Family Forum, that encourages families to grow together in faith and family life. She keeps up a blog, Living In The Moments, and has written a book called Discovering Hope - Sharing the Journey of Healing After Miscarriage, Stillbirth or Infant Loss based on their stillbirth experience in 2003. Anna also is a regular writer for Words for WoMin newsletters.

As children we obeyed our parents for a variety of reasons. We wanted the smile rather than the scowl, or the sweet candy rather than the sting of being hit - or maybe some of us wanted their scowl out of revenge.

It was the consequences we were drawn towards. Maybe it was the responsible freedom as a teenager rather than being grounded or having to be accountable for all our time.

God asked for our obedience.

In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:3-5 Our Father could say the same as our parents did, “It’s for your own good”. At the time we weren’t making great choices and our parents did know what we needed. It is also to glorify God. When our choice is to glorify God the world is more loving and peaceful. We benefit immensely. Our relationships are better, we work better and we find joy in the everyday. We have the privilege to choose obedience and remain deeply connected with our Father in heaven and reap the wonderful consequences that are out of this world!

Dear Darra

We invite you to send in a question that you would like answered by an authentic, qualified Christian. We know you have questions. We’ll provide answers that align with the Bible. Whatever the topic – relationships, friendships, children, theology for example – we’ll find the answers of how a Christian could handle it.

This new service for WoMin will be in the format of an “advice column”, similar to those you see in newspapers and magazines. Questions and answers will appear in upcoming newsletters, on our website, and our WoMin Facebook group.

Please send your question to Dear Darra (Hebrew for Wise) at FABMINT@HOTMAIL.COM. We guarantee your anonymity and confidentiality.

“If any of you needs wisdom to know what you should do, you should ask God, and he will give it to you. God is generous to everyone and doesn't find fault with them.” James 1: 5 (God’s Word translation, 1995)
