I went to the amazing Murfreesboro , Tennessee.. and everyone is sweet there . They all say its boring, its not that bad. MTSU is great, Gods definately made me feel thats the place for me. And recently I have just realized how great God really is, like I take life for granted  so much. When God has blessed and givin me so much. I couldnt ask more from him , its just like how he did that for us is amazing, not only does he forgive us, but he puts up with us... but it is obviously because he loves all of us.  But I need to give God credit more... its not about US and what we want... ITS ALL ABOUT HIM , GOD, ALPHA OMEGA.. EXC.  He is amazing, and what is prob the coolest thing that happened to me this past weekend, is my last night I was all sad and stuff, but my friend Liz and I were just sitting in our hotel thing ... at like 2 in the morning... and this woman walked up the stairs, and I ended up talking to her for about an hour and ended up sharing my testimony with her... and it made her day  and my whole trip... and she promised me she would visit the Belle Aire Baptist Church one day... so if yall ever met a woman named Rhonda say hey to her for me and see how she is doing. I love how God makes things happen on a chain reaction... and you realize it at the end... its so amazing .But everything I have realized is what God wants not me... so I will pray that I listen more to him .. and not just myself .This summer has been hard , but I have gotten through it  , and  closing it up with some great TN people was fun .. but I am going to the beach in like two days  with some friends so that will be fun too!!!

Well I hope everyones last week and a half of summer is great...and everyone go listen to The Face Of Love by Sanctus Real .. because that song is amazing, and the lyrics have really been setting in me

Love you guys

In loving memory of

Laurie Middleton Brock... the most beautiful woman , inner and outer beauty. She was like my second mother, and my moms best friend. Visitation was today, and she looked beautiful , you try to keep emotions from flowing but its so hard. Death can be so scary , but when you know she is in a better place its not so scary anymore. But it still hurts, and I know everyone else is too... of my family and friends. Tomorrow is her funeral... its at Brookwood Baptist... and Laurie * when she could speak a couple months ago* asked me to sing for her on her day of celebration .. and that is what im going to do. "Amazing Grace" ocupela... so if everyone would pray that God sings for me, and that my emotions dont over take me... tomorrow is going to be hard... but I will be ok... I just cant believe this is happening....I hate it... but shouldnt we all want to be there... I think we should ... heaven is suppose to be a magical place... with no pain ... I wish I was there with her, but I know she is looking down on all of us. And tomorrow she will be looking down on me singing for her celebration of her wonderful life. She is like  my guardian angel..... pray for me and the family and friends. I keep on listening to the fix you song by coldplay... and the words so fit of my feelings... I love music.. its almost as cool as God.

THERE AMAZING !!!!!!

MUSIC IS ALMOST AS AMAZING AS GOD :P

Im asking for people to pray for my mothers best friend , Laurie Brock. She is dying of Lou Gehrig's  disease. She was fine and healthy and walking all last year, and she was having a pain and went to see the doctor and told her she had it. Its a disease were everything in your body shuts down slowly and painfully. And some dissenigrates. And she is to the point right now were she said she wants to go . Because she is to the point were she can't move anything but to open and close her eyes, and that is how she says stuff, and my mom is ok with this and God letting this happen , which is good. This is just very sad, to see this wonderful, sweet woman have this, bc you would never think someone like her would get something so horrible like this. And her daughter is one of my friends, but she is not dealing with this well. But now were all just praying for mercy on her, because she is in pain, and we would rather her now be out of pain and with her heavenly father , and pain free. Because Life is good,  but eternal life is better. And all of ur sadness, pain , hurt goes away. Because God is such a powerful creator . Without him I don't know what I would do . I would be so confused, hurt, angry , mad, dissapointed...  LOST . Sometime I do feel those things, but in the end I am happy bc I know I have God , and that is all that matters. I just ask that people pray  for Laurie, because it is a good feeling when you know more people are praying for her. So I guess that is all I have to say . Sorry this blog was like uber long and depressing . But I love all you guys, and I cant wait to come up and see my friends in TN... yay 18 days... holy mo. haha. Ok well I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer...

in him

love- lizzy boo

God has been testing me recently. I always have had these feelings that upset me, because I felt un-satisfied, and in question. Because I always feel like my life is un stable, like I know my foundation is God, and he will always be, Im just saying I hate roller coasters, but thats part of life, and you have to learn to flow with it. I just have always had a problem with depression since I was little, and its very hard to break, but hey who doesnt have depression these days, but I wish every day I felt happy, like sometimes like when sad things happen, I just sit and cry and cry and cry, but thats how I get my emotion out. But this past week I have realized, I can get through anything with God, and learn to not think of the sad things, but to remember all the good things. I watched this movie called "The End Of Spears" and the movie just touched me, I couldnt stop crying after it. And see I went to Ecuador (Quito) on a mission trip, but I never went to the jungle, where this movie was based on the 5 missionaries and how they lost their lives spreading Gods word. And just how they could shoot their guns in the air while those ecuadorians were spearing them bc they wanted those men to live bc they didnt know God, and they just shot their guns in the air smiling to God. And that just touched me, because one person can make a difference to so many people. Well when I was laying in my bed that night, I couldnt stop crying and thinking about it , and I just realized that God gave me a voice, to sing for him , to spread his word through music. I know I want to do that when Im older, but missions is something I definately want to go into, and I want to go out of the country to people out there who dont even hear of him , I want to go everywhere I can to tell people about God, and how he has touched and changed my life, and made me complete. Without him, I dont know where I would be . But all I know is, is that Im happy , because I know the only Father I need is him , and  with that feeling , it is satisfying. I hope everyone has their Cry for Jesus sometimes, because he is truly amazing.

I also just want to add that Im so extremely excited to see my best amigos in Tennessee, I L.O.V.E.  love yall :).

Have been "HE" double hockey sticks. Like wow I couldnt imagine anything to get worse, this has never happened to me in my life, not to my  mom or dad. And they are so mad, my dad was like I want to give that person a piece of my mind. My dad was like he should be happy I dont live in the same town as yall ( my dad lives in VA).... all I have to say is pray for an anynomous(sp?)  person, and pray for me. Because everything just piled down on me. And it was so scary. Lets just say dont tell someone that someone is dead, its not a joke. Especially when u were there crying for 3 hours, your sick and I dislike you with a strong passion. And for the other person I will miss you , and I dont know why because your true colors show. Your a SLIMBAG, and I guess it is goodbye, ha good thing this person doesnt have pb. But anyway I am more sad , than angry ... and I have cried to much , and I dont want to anymore. I want to come see my beautiful friends in TN, bc yall are so sweet, and Lizzy and I cant wait !!!! But yeh , if ur my friend , then I will eventually tell u what happened...

<3 always ~ sarah

But then I like got in a cleaning mood, and I got a huge bunch of groceries ( sp?) , and put alot of food up , and then I cleaned my whole kitchen , which took me an hour and half, and then I went and cleaned my room , and scrubbed my bathroom down , and now it is sooo shiny. And then I cleaned my guitars, and tuned them .  I then studied for like a friggin hour, and made myself study for  history summer class :/ blah  ( Haha gesh I sound like a nerd, but I am proud of myself :p )  And then I took a shower, and now I feel refreshed :).  And now Im ready to go somewhere , and do somethin funnnnnn!!!
