I love the Fourth of July in Snyder!
I always said no matter where I'm at in life I will spend the fourth in Snyder! Same usually went for my family, I usually have people here. Last year it broke my heart that my mom wasn't here but my g-ma was!
This year no family! Sad day... oh well! I know that its going to be a wonderful holiday! My friends are going to be my family this year and I know that I'll be okay!
The Bachlorette is starting to aggravate me. Wes is a sleaze ball, but I'm a big fan of Ed and glad he's back!
God is still doing work in my life, I am learning how to completely Trust him and its great!

God got me through the day......
Ever have those days when you feel like everything is directed at you?
Sunday was like that!
Sunday school the sermon was about Taking joy in out persecution, and those of you that know me know how much of a struggle that is for me...
then we got to big church and I sang my heart out...I LOVE IT WHEN GOD JUST TAKES OVER!!!!
The pain went completely away while singing in Early church and stayed gone until the end of big church... the min I walked outside at 12:20 it all came back but I'm happy with Gods reward of relief when I sing.
On Monday I had a bad bad day with my headache and was really dreading being at work on Tuesday with people, noise and light! So we prayed, that I would have the strength to get out of bed.......
God pulled through big time! I know to some of you this is stupid but It helped me sooooo much!
Around 9 one of the women in my Sunday school class that hadn't been there on Sunday came in the store.. she said she needed Gorilla Glue but I know that God sent her to remind me that I'm loved...Around 10 Jim came in the store and was just the friendly face I needed by lunch time 3 more people had come in and just encouraged and love on me
right before I was going to leave an elderly lady from FUMC came and said how much she missed me singing with Jordan on sunday but she had heard that I did a "mighty fine" job at my own church...
God showed me that He is amazing and will always give me the boost when I really need it..

James 1 2-5
2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Running from God and Ninivah
Do you ever run away from God?
I do..
We started talking about jonah two weeks ago in church and to be honest I was not thrilled... I just knew God got mad and the whale ate him! Half way the sermon I got cocky and was like "what an idoit" Why would you blatenly disobey God? Then I felt God laughing at me. I don't know your oponion of God but my God laughs and jokes with me, he's funny! He was there whispering in a mocking tone in my ear "yeah Sarah who would not listen to me they have got to be crazy" "he said Just listen to the sermon Sarah
I did
Russell ask the Question
??WHAT IS YOUR NINIVAH??
(God told jonah to go and he said no and went the complete oppisite direction)
(God told jonah to go and he said no and went the complete oppisite direction)
What does God tell you to do that you say........
its to hard
I'm scared
You really think I should be there God
Its newIts out of my comfort zone
You get the point

This really hit home for me.. I had a few ninivahs but my main one was music. God has been saying sing for years not and I just don't listen.. I dont think that I'm good enough and lately when I do sing it helps to have jordan with me but God has said Sarah you gotta sing without him and I usually say no...
By the end of the sermon last sunday I was in total AWE of GOD he had taught me so much in that hour... then he put me to the test. Jim came and ask me to be on Praise Team for the next week.... I almost said no, satan was right there whispering your not good enough.. but with a push from my good pal Sam I went for it and I'm so glad I did!God taught me that

HE EQUIPTS THE CALLED NOT CALLS THE EQUIPT
I realized that I don't have to have Jordan with me, its nice to sing with him but I'll be okay without, That just because my church is used to great music doesn't mean they are Numb, and that sometimes God uses people to touch lives without you having a clue!
so what is your Ninivah?
What is God telling you to do that you are scared of?
Go listen to the sermon I'm talking about here!

be careful what you pray for
Do you ever pray for something and then when God answers question it?
Its happened a lot lately!
Update on migraines! Stress. I obviously need to make some changes in my life and how I handle stress because its literally causing me physical harm. I never knew that just stress could cause so much pain!
Casey are Jordan are gone this week... I miss my friends :(

dear you....
I found this and had to share.... it was just what I needed to hear!
Dear You
How was your day today? Did anyone make you laugh today? I know how you love to laugh. Did anyone hurt you today? Don’t sweat them just pray for them. Though these times of economic struggle we must pray for one another more then we already do. I’m glad that you believe in God, and I’m glad that you practice your faith. I’m glad that you have knowledge and that you’re not ignorant.
I’m glad that you’re in good health and that you take care of yourself. I think people just don’t understand how important that is. What’s your favorite past time? My favorite past time is the UFC, nothing beats that well besides you and you’re not a past time. I promise to watch chic flicks with you and I won’t complain at all. As long as we’re together, I’m cool doing whatever.
I’m glad that you have one of the biggest hearts in the world. I’m happy to call you my other half, the future mother of my kids, my meant to be, the love of my life God has given me to live. You are special and you mean so much to me. When you walk in a room I always have this feeling that overcomes me and that feeling is pure joy to know that you’re the one I will be with for all times with no doubt ever. I’m happy God has given us his blessing.
You are one of those people that actually learned from your mistakes and teach others the other options they have of not making the same ones. You are the person that even if they do make the same mistake you’re there to pick them up and love them. You don’t smoke, you don’t belittle people, you have manners, and more importantly you have morals. I respect you whole heartedly.
I will always open the doors for you, and allow you to walk in first. I will pull your chair out when there is a chair to pull out. I will be romantic with you, trust me I know how to do this. You would travel the ends of the earth to be with me and I would do the same. Though there may be distance in the beginning we will find our way to one another.
I like hearing your stories, you make them worthwhile, and they’re never boring. Your past has strengthened you and you don’t live in it. You don’t see people in colors. When you use to date race wasn’t something that limited you. You like to smile. You enjoy conversation, and enjoy time to just be with each other without words. I respect that you don’t use profanity around kids and you may not even use it at all. I love how you’re so lady like.
I like that you’re honest. You are optimistic and you even give others hope. People turn to you all the time and that is what makes you a good friend as well. You’re not a Debby Downer, and with you there is never a dull moment. You like to play board games, you like to go to museums, you like to tell me interesting facts even though I may already know them I will listen to your melody any day.
I can’t wait to watch movies with you, I’m happy you don’t actually talk through movies. It’s good that you’re close to your family and I to mine, for one day we will introduce not only each other to them but them to one another. I have family everywhere so we do have pretty good vacation spots. Though I don’t know you, I trust God’s master plan that you exist. I love you my dear. Stay positive. I do exist.
Love Always
Me
