God is good, and I have no complaints.

Work

Today a friend asked me, and I quote: "so what else is going on with you?"
When I inquired what he meant specifically, he responded "I don't know. anything other than work."

and I laughed. What else is there?

Before me.

I sit looking at my schedule for the next two weeks.

I see, splayed before me, the work of 4 people and my head hurts. How is this possible? IS this possible?

--
The cross before me the world behind
No turning back, raise the banner high
It's not for me, it's all for You

--
Not to us, but to Your Name be the glory


If I keep my eyes on Jesus, I can walk on water.

If You Find Her

The other day, a friend of mine made a comment about what he wanted people to think when they thought about him.
and it made me think. What do I want people to think when they think of me?

and what I want, is to love people well. To love people with all I have.
and that includes people I don't love well.
to really love is to love those who won't love you back.

to suffer long, to be kind, to not envy, not parade myself, not be puffed up, not behave rudely, not seek my own, not be provoked, think no evil, to not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoice in the truth.

TO BEAR ALL THINGS. BELIEVE ALL THINGS. HOPE ALL THINGS. ENDURE ALL THINGS.

I do

Some might say, "Sarah, what is it you do exactly"
and I would say, "Well... I shoot people"

The problem...

I left dinner this evening to find a tire flat on my car. Knowing what I do about cars, i knew it unwise to drive the car far, let alone at all. I carefully moved it to a spot out of the way, and proceeded to walk home. I didn't have time, nor the bravery to change it then and there. I don't want people watching me.

So, after small group I headed over to my car. Moving it under a light by the snack shop, i opened the trunk and got out the jack to begin the tire changing process. Once my car was elevated I started working on the bolts. But they won't budge...

Now, I know how to change a tire! I've even helped change one before. But apparently I'm not strong enough any longer (or I wasn't the one who used strength last time).

But now, I find myself a damsel in distress, in need of a hero, and brute strength, in order to have a moving vehicle.

Firefly now sits alone, with only three limbs, wondering when she will be rescued.

Oi Vey.

The Perishers

"Come Out of the Shade"

Epiphany

Luke 14:34-38 (New American Standard Bible)
"Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?
"It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

Salt is used to make manure good for fertilizing.

We, the salt, are to make manure good for fertilizing.
We, the salt, are to make the crap in people's lives good for fertilizing.
We, the salt, are to make the crap in people's lives good soil.

So that,

Luke 8:8 (New American Standard Bible)
"Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great." As He said these things, He would call out, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

He who has ears to hear, let hum hear. Being the salt of the earth is also about being the kind of person that takes people where they are and makes them more receptive to God.

The Hume Crew in line for the Jungle Cruise

So I was inspired to go to Disneyland because my pass was expiring.

A bunch of us decided to hit up the happy kingdom and had a blast.

We rode most every ride we enjoyed twice. And that includes riding Splash Mountain twice in a row (no getting out of the log), two times (2 x 2 =4)! It also meant riding Big Thunder Mountain in pelting rain.. and it was an incredible feeling. Woo!

And then we drove the 6 enjoyable hours back to camp before hitting our pillows at 3 am.

A great shotgun trip to the Southern of California. No regrets.

What is love?

Baby don't hurt me. Don't hurt me. no more. (Another one of those days I just feel liking singing to the internet.)

I also wear my sunglasses at night.

En otro cosas:

Mi vida no esta mal ahora, pero no esta mi favorito. Odio la situacion, y la dolor en mi corazon. Quiero ser una persona con belleza. Lo veo. Porque mi Padre es bueno, y me la dime por mis hermanas de Dios. Entre de mi corazon y mi cabeza hay un lucha. Mi corazon quiere amigos y todo, pero mi cabeza se sabe que es por mio y no tuyo. I debo necesitar nada de los otros en mi vido. La unica cosa yo necesito es mi Dios, mi Padre.

Purificame y lavame, renueveame, restaurame senor.
