Newfound joy
I am so incredibly content in life right now. I have learned to spend time alone with myself, something I've never been able to do before. I just sit on my bed for hours, reading and watching the sun make patterns on my bedspread and floor. I tend not to get upset over situations, and have thought about so much lately. I spend a lot of time thinking, actually. Reflecting. Growing. And it's nice to be by myself, yet I know that the LORD is always there, and I think that is the most comforting thought of all. Knowing that I am never truly alone, but always in this presence. It is so amazing to wake up in the morning and never worry about what I'm going to wear, say, act like, look like, or anything. Just to BE. Letting go of the cares of this world has become so easy, because the after effects are so incredibly satisfying and worth it. Through my silent times I begin to know Jesus, to touch His wounds, to feel His heart, and to know the unknowable GOD. It is within these times that, knowing Jesus, I begin to know my true self, the one he created me to be. It it there that I draw on being content, and it is there I truly begin to find peace.

We can't even be ourselves, not truly, without recognizing ourselves through Him first. Why even bother? We would simply create our identity from the world - and that is never good.
Hahah, and even if it is, it isn't what you are meant for. God has excellence for all of us. Why NOT follow and gain that?
Sarah that is awesome. I pray you will never lose this. That is right. We are ALWAYS in His presence. That is crazy.
Lord i ask you strengthen Sarah God. Never let her get weary or lazy. I ask every day she will find your peace, your joy, your Heart.
Remember Sarah, You have it all. keep on the straight and narrow.
