Hi everybody,
I'm Sarah. I'm the one on the left in (most of) those pictures up there - pictures of my girl Vicky and I, goofing off and having fun at the beach a few weeks back.
I didn't only post these shots of us on this blog because they exude happiness and positivity, but because I wanted to let you know that these were taken on quite possibly the most painful and emotionally/spiritually testing day of my adult life. I won't go into details, but I guess the lesson is this; I could have locked myself up in my room and cried my eyes out that day. I could have chosen to isolate myself, and sulk. There was definitely a part of me that felt like it was hanging on the edge of a cliff, and that letting go would be easier than trying to pull myself back up.
But I made a choice. I splashed water on my face, looked in the mirror, and I chose to offer up that pain, and confusion, and fear, and weight, and anger to God.
And then I chose to smile.
Because when you believe, you know:
He's got your back -- in a Big Big Way.
Still smiling ;)
-s.
