Okay, so I admit it. I've been a slacker. I'm sorry, friends, I haven't posted anything in a while. I've meant to, but I haven't the time to actually write with no distractions. In fact, even now, I have many distractions around me. I'm sitting right now in the middle of the living room; the T.V. has a Brian Regan show on it, my dad is eating, and I have like, a million things on my mind. But, I'm setting my mind to it, and so therefore, I will accomplish this blog post if it's the last thing I do!
So today, I was thinking about how cool this whole God stuff is. Yeah, surprising, I know. ;) Anyways, I've been going through some tough stuff as of late. Sometimes I'll look up in the sky and whisper, "Oh God, what do you want me to do?" And I feel like he says, Just trust Me, Sarah. It's all I'm asking you to do now. But God, it's so hard to trust You. I mean, I can honesty say that this is the most confusing situation I've ever been in. But as I told a wonderful friend of mine, "It's so much easier to trust God. Well, not easier to trust, but easier when trust." No, friends, it isn't easy to trust God at all. It's one of the hardest things...ever. But make no mistake, it's so much easier when you trust Him.
Often, we're Peter, trying to walk on the water with Jesus, but then we become unfocused and start sinking. Was it hard for Peter to focus on Jesus ? Of course! There was a storm raging around him. But wasn't he so much better off when he kept his focus straight? Yes. Yes, he was. But what I like about Jesus is that He didn't see Peter shifting his eyes and go, "Sheesh, Pete! Can't keep your eyes straight for two minutes?!" and walk away. He saw Peter sinking and reached out. He showed that God isn't going to condemn us for becoming distrusting, or unfocused. He'll reach out and pull us up again. He'll show is his love and help us see how to trust him. I love that. Just thought I'd share it with y'all.
So today, I went to my little sis' basket ball game. It was pretty intense. ;) Her team lost. Quite honestly, her team is really wimply. She's fine, but the team as a whole is wimpy. It was cute though. Kids throwing the ball with all their might at the hoop. Haha, so cute.
Well, I did it! I completed a blog post! Ha. Yay for me! Well, I'll let you all go now. I'll write soon!

As always, a great post Sarah!! I was starting to wonder what happened to you!
BTW, did your followers go up in number?? I will admit...I cheated a bit and added myself several times. :) Did I show up more than once? Weird, I know. Feel free to block me..no, please don't!
Thanks, Lori! Yeah, I flushed myself down the toilet and was stuck in the sewer for like, a week until someone found me eaten up by the rats. It was pretty intense.
No, I still have just one, lonesome follower. You. Haha, thanks for trying though. Just for that, I won't block you. ;)
