I will not take my love away
When praises cease and seasons change
while the whole world turns the other way
I will not take my love away
I will not leave you all alone
When striving leads you far from home
And there's no yield for what you've sown
I will not leave you all aone
I will give you what you need
In plenty or in poverty
Forever, always, look to me
And I will give you what you need

Okay, I know that is one of Matt Wertz's new songs but when I heard this I thought of God and how gracious His love is with us. He will never leave us alone even though we just try our hardest to get away. He is the creater of the universe and we think that we can hide from Him? I bet He laughs at that. We just have to be willing. Everyday I am thankful for the blessing that He has given me by wanting a relationship with me. How AWESOME is that? He's beautiful!

life soundtrack

Sarah — Sun, 21 May 2006 20:37:12 -0500

i think it would be great if life had background music. would you agree?

Africa

Sarah — Sun, 16 Apr 2006 08:56:21 -0500

FACTS:
•NORTHERN UGANDA CALLED THE WORST HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN THE WORLD TODAY BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF ATTENTION
•1.6 MILLION PEOPLE FORCIBLY DISPLACED
•AN ESTIMATED 20- 50,000 CHILDREN ABDUCTED TO FIGHT AS SOLDIERS
•TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN COMMUTING NIGHTLY
•130 PEOPLE DIE PER DAY IN NORTHERN UGANDA DUE TO VIOLENCE

Why aren't we doing more to stop this? Pray for Africa!

PERFECT DAY!

Sarah — Sun, 12 Mar 2006 14:00:19 -0600

today is great day to end my spring break. i know it's sad but i can't help but be happy in this weather! i drove home from church in my car with all the windows rolled down and the sunroof open just listening to the greatest cd (grey's anatomy soundtrack). it is such good driving music. well that is all for right now. everyone needs to go outside and ENJOY this weather.

that feeling.

Sarah — Tue, 24 Jan 2006 21:29:24 -0600

don't you love that feeling when you almost feel God embrace you. you start thinking about him or you are in the middle of worship and all of a sudden your heart goes still and then you feel all warm inside. like someone is holding you. but in reality no one is there but a smile comes to your face because you know inside exactly what or who it was. that is AMAZING!

Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord
Jesus...
You are the light of the world
Jesus...
You are the King of the earth

WOODY!

Sarah — Tue, 10 Jan 2006 20:54:04 -0600

well today was for sure an adventure. i walked out of work and noticed a squirrell laying on the ground with a broken leg. i went inside to find a box to kinda scoot him in just to get him out of the road. can you believe that someone did a hit and run!!! really, what is the world coming to these days? well amy bonin and amy powers both happened to be in the hall and i recruited them to help me. we went to this vet on church street but they couldn't help it bc they only do cats and dogs but they did tell us that he was still alive. on the way there amy b. started saying that she thought he was dead because he hadn't moved at all. but in fact he was alive and kickin'. the vet called the black fox animal hospital and they told us to bring him in so that they could see what they could do. we left woody(that's the squirrell's name) there to be cared for. so all around it was a satisfactory search to save a squirrell's life. but i thought that if we were girl. scouts still....we would so get a badge for this.

As We Forgive Others

Sarah — Mon, 02 Jan 2006 19:11:16 -0600

When it comes to a question of our forgiving other people, it is partly the same and partly different. It is the same because, here also, forgiving does not mean excusing. Many people seem to think it does. They think that if you ask them to forgive someone who has cheated or bullied them you are trying to make out that there was really no cheating or no bullying. But if that were so, there would be nothing to forgive. They keep on replying,"But I tell you the man broke the most solemn promise." Exactly: that is precisely what you have to forgive. (This doesn't mean that you must necessarily believe his next promise. It does mean that you must make every effort to kill every taste of resentment in your own heart-every wish to humiliate or hurt him or to pay him out.) The difference between this situation and the one in which you are asking God's forgiveness is this. In our own case we accept excuses too easily; in other people's we do not accept them easily enough.

-c.s. lewis

Something to think about...I sure did look at forgiveness in a whole different light after reading this. GOD IS SO GREAT!

The Chronicles of Narnia

Sarah — Fri, 30 Dec 2005 20:43:11 -0600

You know what I think? I think C.S. Lewis got it, the whole picture of what life is all about. As I left the theatre I couldn't help but look around to see all the people leaving and I stood there wondering how many people could see the real story in this movie. Not just a movie that was good for the their kids to go see, but the story of the ultimate sacrifice. I wonder if they knew.....

Something To Think About..

Sarah — Thu, 15 Dec 2005 07:21:42 -0600

"We believe that the best way to make decisions is to think, when I am 87 years old, will I be glad I did that?"

61 dollars

Sarah — Sat, 10 Dec 2005 16:56:00 -0600

$61 is how much money we had to pay to get my poor cat out of the pound and i had to promise them my first born as well(not really) but it seemed that way since we had to pay Sixty-one Dollars!!!

***edit***

the reason why he was there is because he goes outside to do his thing because originally he was an outdoor cat before we got him so he doesn't like to stay inside very long. well...there is apparently a leash law for cats and that is why they picked him up...he didn't come back for like 2 nights so we got worried and we went to the pound to see if by chance he got picked up..well he did. he was just chillin' in the cage thing.

A shout out to jamie smith for being so cool.

Sarah — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 19:49:38 -0600

Jamie, what you doing now?
What you doing now girl?
Please, please tell me
Cause I need to know, I need to know now
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know

Jamie, oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

Jamie, what you doing now?
He's dialin' your car phone
Please, please be true
You know that I trust you, do that which you must do
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting patiently
Jamie, I want you to know

Jamie, oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

You've got the Beach Boys, and your firm's got the Stones
But I know you won't leave me alone

Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much
Sometimes it seems you're not with me
It hurts me so much, it hurts me so much

You are the most, you're so rad, you're so fresh
And I'm so glad I am yours, you are mine
Show me where and I will sign
When I was down, you came to me
And promised you'd always be
By my side, now you're gone
And I'm waiting, waiting

Jamie, oh Jamie, I'm so glad you're mine
We'll be together a long time

mraz = all around good ole' time

Sarah — Mon, 05 Dec 2005 17:27:57 -0600

Jason Mraz in FOUR more days!!! It will be a perfect way to end my semester and it will be after i take my history final..blah blah blah...so mr. mraz can cheer me up!

me and my sister.

Sarah — Tue, 29 Nov 2005 20:09:10 -0600

even though we fight and sometimes and don't get along...i know that no matter how much other people hate me or if for some reason the world turns their back on me...i'll know...she'll always be there.

God should be the definition of love in the dictionary

Sarah — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 11:35:43 -0600

God reminded me of something today. I was kind of feeling a little down about some things and God reminded me how much security i have in Him. His promises to me are secure and reliable. Another thing He told me was that friends will come and go and that doesn't matter. That you shouldn't put all your energy into people or things that aren't for sure always going to be there. I need to do that more. I tend to rely on things of this world when I need to make sure to first see that God is always here...He will always be my rock in my life. But it sometimes hurts to think that some friends might leave you.

Sarah — Mon, 14 Nov 2005 18:47:56 -0600

oh man.....!!!! so beautiful.

i need to be more spontaneous!

REALLY bad day.

Sarah — Wed, 09 Nov 2005 17:31:28 -0600

this morning was the worst morning ever!

1. i was walking across tn blvd and my backpack broke and fell in the middle of the street. i had to run back and grab it really quick bf it got ran over. scared me to death!

2. when i got to the other side i noticed i was bleeding really bad. apparently when i was running back and forth i broke the blister the was trying to heal from a shoe i had worn last week. so my pants and shoe had all this blood on it. (i know what your thinking. you think its sick and so do i.)

3. i had to limp to the cope building to go to the office where i work so i could get a bandaid. well apparently i somehow broke the ear piece of my ipod earphones. the wire was exposed and the whole thing just flew off! let's keep in mind that i just bought those this weekend.

oh Lord I am FREE in you. Oh Lord I am COMPLETE in you.....I WILL OVERCOME!

i had prayed earlier this morning that i would have a great day and i just had a great time talking to God this morning so i know that it was Satan trying to ruin my day.

but i know that it could be a lot worse. and i still think that God is the GREATEST!

fall in the mountains

Sarah — Mon, 07 Nov 2005 21:51:00 -0600

I love the mountains in the fall.

my grandpa used to take me up to this mountain to hike.

I ran over a old lady today!!!

Sarah — Thu, 03 Nov 2005 20:10:43 -0600

WHAT I LIKE:

1. ordering banana pancakes without nuts dedicated to jack johnson

2. boy band music

3. playing air guitar to "can't stop" by red hot chili peppers

4. fishing with my grandpa when i was little

5. the colors of fall

6. coldplay lyrics

7. intimate moments with God

8. laughing so hard you can't breath

9. crystal lite peach tea

10. laughing at my own jokes even though they aren't very funny

p.s. haha just kidding about the old lady thing

prayer warriors

Sarah — Wed, 02 Nov 2005 22:00:40 -0600

i would really appreciate if all of you would pray for my family. my grandfather has alzheimers and he caught pneumonia last week. he isn't expected to last through the night but it is in the Lords hands when He wants him to come home. but just pray for unity for our family. thanks so much.

UPDATE:thanks everyone who is praying for my family. my grandfather "Pa" passed away last night peacefully. he is finally getting to go home and i couldn't be more excited for him. but at the same time the earthly side of me is upset that he can't be here with us in person.

Dec. 1st

Sarah — Tue, 01 Nov 2005 21:18:54 -0600

okay everyone. mark your calanders because on Dec. 1st we are going to have a big blow out fiesta for amy and RACHELbonin. so in case you were wondering...that is what we will be doing. so don't make any plans.

crap.

Sarah — Thu, 27 Oct 2005 18:53:22 -0500

that is the word that describes exactly how i feel. i went to the doctor this afternoon and aparently i have some kind of infection. but my best friend in the whole wide world came over and brought me a balloon, card, and my favorite kind of candy. i love my lauren! my throat feels like a thousand knives were stuffed down it...sad times. well...that pretty much sums up my day. hope everyone had a better day.

also..one thing i did realize is how boring daytime tv is. i watched the flippin martha stewart show and her guest host was rosie odonnell. but suprisingly i found it pretty interesting. they talked about rosie going to visit martha in jail. but anyways...i learned how to make candy apples and boonilla shakes. mmhmm...you read right...i said boonilla shakes. which in all actuality is just a vanilla shake with a "ghost" face drawn on the glass cup. that is such a sad sad story..but it my sad sad story. but i am on day #2 of being sick and staying at home. maybe me and martha can learn how to make a halloween wreth or something.

cold weather

Sarah — Mon, 24 Oct 2005 17:27:22 -0500

winter is my favorite season. (even though it is only fall but it feels like winter.) i figured that out about myself. i really do enjoy getting all bundled up and putting on the hats and scarves. but the best thing of all is when you are walking and the cold wind is blowing in your face and then your eyes start to water. to me that is the best feeling. i also love how everytime i am about to leave the house my moms tells me to put on a hat and that it's cold outside. but i thank the Lord that i have a mom that cares enough about me to tell me that. just the way she says it makes me happy. but the only sad part about it is that i can't wear my flip flops anymore. i tried the other day and i way too much of a chicken. maybe i will bust them out every once in awhile. I LOVE WINTER!

::can u please pray for my grandfather. he was sent to the emergency room tonight from the nursing home and we don't really know what's wrong with him. he has alzheimers so being sick like that really doesn't make things better. so just pray for the doctors and my family. thanks so much.::

i actually saw this sign walking down a street

Sarah — Mon, 17 Oct 2005 20:59:39 -0500

franklin

Sarah — Sun, 16 Oct 2005 18:21:01 -0500

yeah kids..that is my best friend. me and lauren went to downtown franklin and it was amazing! we went to starbucks and then went to go see elizabethtown again, but it was the theatre that orlando bloom was in. mmmhmmm that's right i said orlando bloom. he was there for the premiere. then what came after was the best part. me and lauren rolled down her windows and danced insanely in the middle of a street. i do need to add that there were hardly any cars on this road. but i had never danced like that before in my life and i have to say that is was the best thing i have ever done. i felt God in the most powerful way when i did that. it was like i was doing it for Him and i could feel Him smiling and just laughing at me. it was really cool. the only thing to do now is to go to bed and not wake up until an extremely late hour. hope all of you do the same.

The Lord your God is amoung you, a warrior who saves. He will rejoice over you with gladness. He will bring [you] quietness with His love. He will delight in you with shouts of joy. -Zephaniah 3:17

The perfect love is described in this verse perfectly.

help me if you can

Sarah — Sat, 15 Oct 2005 18:49:04 -0500

i have an itunes question. whenever i get onto to itunes music store i can't click on a specific song i want to listen to. it doesn't even show the individual songs, only the whole cd. so if anyone knows what to do to fix it...that would be GREAT. i updated it to the new version but it still didn't change anything. everyone have a blessed day and....JOSH AND STEPHANIE ARE MARRIED!!!!!!!

elizabethtown

Sarah — Fri, 14 Oct 2005 22:44:58 -0500

i can't wait to fall in love! i am just so excited to know the love story that God is writing for me. so many times we settle for guys that aren't who God has in mind for us and if we only give Him a chance He can make it so much more beautiful then we could possibly imagine. but the one thing that He does ask for is patience. i am not the best at that but i am totally going on the fact that God is in control of my life and if i try to do things on my own, i just end up messing it up. God will always take care of us and be there for us. all we need to do is let go.

you may be asking yourself where all this came from. i went to go see elizabethtown tonight and it was amazing. its not really a "chick flick" like i thought it would be. but i would definatly recommend this movie.

well i am headed off to steph and josh's wedding tomarrow!! i am sooo excited for them. oohh man....

On The Road To Beautiful

Sarah — Tue, 11 Oct 2005 13:16:48 -0500

I crumble at Your kiss and grace
I'm a weakling in the dust
Teach me how to cling to You
With all my life and all my love

Father come to me, hold me up 'cause I can barely stand
My strength is gone and my breath is short, I can't reach out my hands
But my heart is set on a pilgrimage to heaven's own bright King
So in faltering or victory I will always sing

And on the road to beautiful
My seasons always change
But my life is spent on loving You
To know You in Your power and pain

You're my portion in this life
You're my strength now in my fight
And to You I pledge my heart
In the pain and in the dark I'll love You
I'll love You, I'll love You

I'll love You...

And my heart is set on a pilgrimage to heaven's own bright King
So in faltering or victory I will always sing

I love You
I love You
I love You

-charlie hall

i am in love with a man who can give me everything that i need and He loves me more then anything of this world. i can't live without Him.

peace.

Sarah — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 14:07:17 -0500

People spend so much time
every single day
runnin' 'round all over town
givin' their forever away
but no not me
I won't let my forever roam
and now I hope I can find
my forever a home
so give me your forever
please your forever
not a day less will do
from you -ben harper

i know i hadn't updated in awhile but God has totally broke my heart and remolded it into a heart that longs for Him in every since of the word. I can't even describe what is going on in my heart and the changes that I feel. all i can say is that its AMAZING! God is the love of my life and i only have come to realize that truely in the last couple of weeks. He has completed my heart with His love for me.....WOW!! i guess the word "peace" is coming to mind.

Sarah — Thu, 29 Sep 2005 09:58:43 -0500

I hate goodbyes... my best friend is gone for 6 months.

today so far...

Sarah — Fri, 16 Sep 2005 15:10:13 -0500

okay i was texting on my way to class and out of NO WHERE came this branch. it almost hit me in the head but i dodged it. so..i did the logical thing and kept walking like it never happened. that is really my day so far. nothing else to really report. i'll update if anything else happened.

michael buble's version of "you don't know me" is AMAZING!!!! i could marry him...well not really. but if he loved jesus then maybe..haha.

Just say you'll wait for me...

Sarah — Thu, 15 Sep 2005 16:24:31 -0500

"You don't even know what tomorrow will bring-what your life wil be! For you are a bit of smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes. James 4:14

God totally slapped me in the face with that. We always plan our lives for tomorrow, but we forget about now. What we end up doing is not paying attention to now that we miss you on what God wants to show us today. What is He showing you today? Have you taken that moment to stop and ask God what He wants to reveal to you today?
______________________________________

Thanks so much for everyone who tried to make me feel better yesterday. I really appreciate it. It was just one of those days where nothing was wrong but nothing was right at the same time. But luckily it is tomorrow and not yesterday.

COLDPLAY in 4 more days!

8 more days...

Sarah — Sat, 10 Sep 2005 20:25:24 -0500

that is how many more days until coldplay!! i am beyond excited and i can't wait to go with my best friend lauren.

alot is happening and way too much to write it here. but i love you all and the Lord loves you more then you will ever know.

two masters....

Sarah — Tue, 06 Sep 2005 20:21:53 -0500

Amazing....
"No houseehold slave can be the slave of two masters, since either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can't be slaves to both God and money."

Luke 16:13

::you can insert whatever you struggle with in the part of money at the end. but that is so true. God should NEVER be second in our lives.::

"Hate the sin and love the sinner ."

Gandhi

::i think that is how God views us and how we should view other people and ourselves. we shouldn't hate the sinners because we all do that but hate the sin that is in our lives. the Lord is great and has showered us with grace that we don't even deserve. the Lord is flippin' awesome!::

kanichiwa!

Sarah — Sat, 03 Sep 2005 09:49:17 -0500

LOVE college and all the cool people that i've met. i have really appreciated everyone and how nice they all have been. ao was AMAZING wednesday night and i really got into the worship. i have been praying to find some good christian music that i like and the Lord has totally been providing. i went to the echosflow concert wed night and then on thurs. i went to see ryan horne.

i am gonna tell you what i don't like...i DON'T like hearing a dave matthews band song about what a pig bush is and how the believers just stand behind him and smile. i think as christians we get judged most of all. there are so many assumptions about us that are just not true. but i can say that the Lord didn't promise us EASY, he promised us GRACE. that is what i am doing this all for, for Him and Him alone.

went to hodge's house last night and i can say that is was a good time. met alot of new people and got to catch up with some people i hadn't talked to in awhile.

i hope EVERYONE has a WONDERFUL day and full of AMAZING suprises. haha.

first and second day of college.

Sarah — Tue, 30 Aug 2005 17:46:18 -0500

i think i am gonna like mtsu. its alot better then high school and i am able to hang out with my friends more. i started my job today in the records department and i love it. that is all i really have to say so catch you guys lata.

It's kinda funny.

Sarah — Wed, 24 Aug 2005 21:09:37 -0500

I think that it is kinda funny that Riverdale has to go to Ohio to play games because no one here will play them. when i was in charleston i went to this nursing home to visit with the residents there. well this guy named james overheard that i was from the big tn. he apparently played football in tullahoma and knew who riverdale was. i told him that we won the state championship this past year and you know what he said? He said,"yeah, because you cheated. you all are a bunch of cheaters." now how in the world does this blind old man all the way in charleston, south carolina tell me that riverdale is a bunch of cheaters. i thought that was funny.

tonight was fun at starbucks. i love my friends and how we can play on a certain situation for the longest time.good times.

more things that i like....

Sarah — Sun, 21 Aug 2005 20:45:17 -0500

1. trying new things with my girls, like sour slushies
2. taking pictures in a grocery cart at the movie theatre parking lot
3. guys stopping to ask us what we are doing with the shopping cart.
4. yelling at movies only to discover that they can't really hear us screaming at them
5. being mature enough to be imature(you girls know what i am talking about)
6. lauren yelling at boys as we drive by them and then getting embarressed when they speed up to talk to her

::tonight is what i needed. its been fun hanging out with just the girls and knowing that something crazy will probably happen, whenever all of us are together there is always something. when we were sitting at an intersection i looked over towards the corner and there was a stand down at the gas station. these two men were on their knees with their hands over their head while the cops had their guns pointed at them. it was like the show cops. rachael decides she wants a picture and that made it even more funny. but it was kinda scary at the same time. you just don't see that stuff in the boro. well i hope everyone had a great night too. off to buy my books tomarrow.::

I wanna be a rock star....

Sarah — Thu, 18 Aug 2005 15:22:56 -0500

Sometimes I think to myself how cool it would be if I could be in a band and totally rock out! I watch some of these bands and how into it they are. It would be awesome to be able to pour out all your emotions into a song and playing. They are so into it. But unfortunatly God didn't give me that talent. I admire those people though. It all depends on how you use it. They are very lucky.

Rather then religion, we need relationship.

Sarah — Tue, 16 Aug 2005 21:51:03 -0500

Here is something that I saw in my notes from a sermon that I heard this summer....

Gods plan wasn't to be housed in walls in a church. The power of the Lord is in us. Its wherever we walk!

laughing...

Sarah — Sun, 14 Aug 2005 18:51:56 -0500

i really like to laugh. i know that is random but the best thing is to have a good laugh. You know those ones that you can hardly breath because you are laughing so hard. Those are awesome. okay that was it.

These are the things I like....

Sarah — Sat, 13 Aug 2005 15:17:06 -0500

1. doing doughnuts in the mtsu parking lot with lauren

2. finding a skirt for $8 at old navy

3. cherry slushies from sonic

4. saturdays, when it rains

5. laughing at lauren saying inappropriate things

all in all its good to be home, meet new people, and have new experiences. not too deep but that was what was on my mind.

me: did i ever tell you about stanley?
cam: no...is he hot?
me: no, stanley is a turtle!!!

a new chapter

Sarah — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 23:16:23 -0500

::guys i am ready and excited. i am ready to start this new chapter in my life and excited to see what the Lord has in store for me. i was reminded tonight that we should just let go. let go of everything that we do to try to limit God. everytime we say,"I can't", that just makes us close off God even more. we meet so many people everyday and each time our lives are changed because we have a new person that has entered it. God brings people in our lives for a reason. He wants us to go out there and build relationships with all different kinds of people. i am reading the book of acts and i am amazed at the boldness that peter and john have. the Lord totally rewards them for their boldness and faith by allowing them to be a part of something bigger then them. sometimes i feel that we look at rewards as something materialistic or just something for our own benefit. what if God's reward for us is the pleasure of Him using us and being able to witness the countless ways God shows up in everyday life. the cool thing is that as christians we see that but the unbelievers don't because their eyes haven't been open to it. why wouldn't we want to share that? why wouldn't we want EVERYONE to see the things that we see and experience the beauty of the Lord? when i think about it i know that by not spreading the good news about what jesus has done for us we are being selfish. we are keeping something great for ourselves and that isn't what it is meant for. it's SO important to build relationships with those who don't see and allow God to use us in those relationships to open their eyes.::

This is the sweetest song....(it makes me cry)

Sarah — Mon, 08 Aug 2005 16:51:32 -0500

And the one step and he's sliding
And the two steps and she's gliding
3 and the 1 and the 2
And then they float in the air

Side to side and she shows him
Back and forth cause she knows him
Round and round again
All that see them can't help but stare

Cause everyone knows they're in love
Everyone knows they're in love
Yes and everyone knows they're in love
By the way they dance

Cheek to cheek cause he needs her
Hand in hand as he leads her
Face to face cause they know
They'll never dance alone

Cause everyone knows they're in love
Everyone knows they're in love
Yes and everyone knows they're in love
By the way they dance

By the way she moves in circles
Ever so sweetly she wins him completly
By the way he holds her so gracefully
The hand that he lends her is able and tender

me, lauren, and amber are about to make tie dye tshirts. i am excited. we hung out all day long and it was awesome hanging out with my girls. we are gonna watch "the goonies" and that is my all time favorite movie!!!

"DATA: Pinchers of Peril. You guys...I've been saved by my Pinchers of Peril!"

me and lauren went to go see charlie and the chocolate factory and it was freaky. we got the lovers combo at the jackson heights theatre which was a little embarressing but then i got over it. haha

can't wait for this week because hopefully i will get my room all cleaned out and stuff. then me and lauren are gonna make an attempt to workout. we'll see about that.

"Cause it's you and me and all of the people
Nothing to do, nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people and
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you"

I am immortal till God is finished with me-no one can touch me

i woke up this morning and my ipod all of a sudden worked so that was weird. I sat around the house doing absolutly nothing which was very foreign to me. It is the hardest thing when you have been going non stop all summer and then all of a sudden you are doing nothing. It's TORTURE!!!! Nothing much to report. I'm kinda tired but not the sleepy tired just worn out tired, which is weird because I haven't really been doing anything. Don't know how that happened.

Last night me, lauren, and matt drove around doing pretty much nothing. we went on rucker and turned onto this creepy road to try to find a "haunted house" but there was no luck. We decided to go run in a corn field but that was short lived also. So we went to wafflehouse. There was this guy in the Waffle House that looked exactly like Hagrid off of Harry Potter. It was weird. I wanted to ask for his autograph but I was too much of a chicken.

ipod troubles....

okay if anyone can help me, i am having trouble with my ipod. i was listening to it in my car and i went to go change the song and all of a sudden it froze. The screen is still lit and the name of the song is still on there but I can't do anything to it. So if any of you guys know what to do then please help me. thanks

Home at last....

well i've been home for a few days and already have had more adventures. Tuesday night me, lauren, megan and some of her friends decided to break in my new car and go to cool springs to eat. well i missed the exit somehow and we ended up in Nashville.

"Guys...I don't think Cool Springs is this far!"
"Oh my gosh!!! We are in Nashville!!"

haha good times.I've had fun just hanging out and catching up with my friends. Oh how I've missed them so!!!

I went to church on Wed. and it was really weird. It felt like I didn't belong there. It wasn't anything anybody did, it just felt really weird. God had done so much in my life this summer and I guess the rush was so high and then it is over. I want to just call my friends that I had this summer and see if they want to do something but they can't.

The Lord is breaking me so bad. I've never felt such love for Him then I have right now. He is amazing and I don't know what I would do without Him. He is my savior, redeemer and my best friend. I can feel something big coming for my life. God's hands are all over that plan and I wouldn't have it any other way. My life is nothing without Him. He is the only reason I am doing this, living this life to be pleasing in His eyes. I just want Him to be proud of me.

"For you I'd wait 'Til kingdom come
Until my days my days are done
Say you'll come and set me free
Just say you'll wait you'll wait for me"

Almost time to go home....

well we found stanley. he was under my roomates things. it was crazy but we have to let him go before we leave. i will be very sad and might even get a little emotional.

well i will see everyone soon.

Stanley the Turtle

Sarah — Sun, 24 Jul 2005 16:04:50 -0500

I have a funny story...Tammy, Leigh Ann, and I were going to the mall the other day and we almost ran over this turtle. So we drove back to make sure it was out of the road and safe. We had this great idea that we should keep it as a pet. Well we had it in our apartment for like a day and this morning when I went to church I put the top back on but not all the way so he could breath. Well that seemed logical at the time but when we got back from church Stanley was gone!!! We haven't found him yet but we are scared he went off and is going to get stuck somewhere and die. I had grown rather fond of that turtle so I am praying we find him in time. This afternoon we had like 6 people in our apt. looking for this little turtle it was really funny.

Tomarrow I am doing construction work and me and ally get to work on a crack house in the inner city. That will be so much fun...I can't wait. Pray for opportunities and safety.

See all of you in a few days.
