satc2..

my friend lauren newman turns 27 today so we dressed up & went to dinner at mico (aka mi cocina) & then caught the 10 showing of satc2. i thought it was cute but not necessarily a must see unless your a fan of the show. as usus there were: cute clothes, good looking people, & funny one liners but my fav part is the focus on friendships. im so blessed to have so many lifelong friendships & im thankful to God for the rich blessings of their love & support.


linds & me on the way to dinner.

happy memorial day weekend!

wish the "real world" had a spring break. i could really use the beach right now. instead, i'm pumping myself up for some spring cleaning this weekend. out with the old - in with the new.

on an un-related note:

"wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord"
psalm 27:14

so you might be asking yourself? where did sarah go? did she fall of the face of the earth?? don't worry i'm here and you have yourself one person to blame for my absences. let me introduce you to this girl...

Lindsay O'Rear.

alias include: sherlock homes, linds, o'rear, compass, gramps, and LO.

we basically became besties after making it rain with Brazilian money at the Manaus Airport on the way home from the Amazon.

my life recently: go to work, let Madison out, hang out with o'rear to the wee hours of the night, REPEAT.

be on alert though...she's friend the heck at of ya.

help-portrait

my friend megan came to me with a vision of a help-portrait event in bonton with BridgeBuilders. throught this event last saturday {and the help of some awesome photographers & volunteers}, we were able to work with over 60 families and shoot over 200 people for their christmas pictures. can't wait to do it again next year bigger & better!

christmas at bu

sophomore year with laura.

christmas on the 5th at baylor was last week. here is my homage to a great college event.

abide in the Father's love.

have you ever truly abided in his love? photo from {here}

"Abide in my, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me." John 15: 4 As the weekend turns into the week, I am struck by this concept: unless I'm abiding in him, I'll never bear fruit. I can not bear fruit on my own. It is only through adiding in his love through the word that makes me clean and obedience to his commandments. I want his love. I want his joy. I want his promises. He wants to give them to us. I need to dwell, wait, pause, stay, and continue in his love and love for one another. This is a good place to be.


"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give to you. John 15:16.

da boys.

dear boys,

please don't mess this up. you're 8-3 heading into december. this is not the time to blow it. don't worry though if you do, i'll still love you. heck, i'm a baylor bear football fan - i can handle anything.

xoxo. sarah

let it snow.
