Every tear I cried, You hold in your hand

I was sure by now

God you would have reached down

And wiped my tears away.

Stepped in and saved the day ...

But once again, I say amen

And it's still raining.

And as the thunder rolls,

I barely hear you whisper through the storm

I'm with you.

As your mercy falls, I raise my hand

And praise the God who gives and takes away.

And I will praise you in this storm.

And I will lift my hand

For you are who you are, no matter where I am.

And every tear I cried, you hold in your hand.

You never left my side

And though my heart is torn.

I will praise you in this storm.

I remember when,

I stumbled in the wind.

You heard my cry, you raised my up again

And my strength is almost gone,

How can I carry on? If I can't find you?

And as the thunder rolls,

I barely hear you whisper through the rain

I'm with you.

And as your mercy falls, I raise my hands

And praise the God who gives and takes away.

Please pray for me and my family .. it's looks like our share of "storms" aren't over yet .. We're trying to stay strong. Thanks so much for your prayers and support. The future is vague and scary, please pray that they let my dad come back to new york. Love you all.

Ok, I am seriously jumping up and down!!!!! Yay!!!! I saw ground today for the 1st time in like a LONG TIME! So I am having a party right now :) :) I know that it's pretty pathetic huh?? Like goodnight - I can see mud so I'm happy - kinda weird I know!
Let me see ... what else is new?? Well my dad has a job!!! Praise the Lord for that, we're still at the Hances house, hope that they aren't completely sick of us lol!!! Yikes, we can be annoying!
Keep praying for Rick's job ... he finds out tomorrow if he got it or not. Please pray about that!!!
As always I'm missing the south, my friends and the warm weather! I could be sitting on my porch in 72 degree weather right now! Ohhh! how sad :)
Ok, later people. Be good!

Ever been afraid of what comes next?

Hmm, have you ever sat around and wondered where life was gonna take you? Where you would be next week, next month, next year? If your life would ever really matter, or if you would just become another blob on this earth? Will things that happened in your life ever make sense?

Well if you haven't - heaven bless ya! I wish I could say that I haven't, but the truth is ... I think those questions almost everyday!! It can actually be kind of annoying! I just feel so uncertian about life right now, scared about the future, wondering what will happen, what my life will be like in 10 years. Where will I be? Will I be happy? Will I be safe? A crazy amount of questions fly through my mind everyday, and I just can't seem to stop them!

Just please pray for me okay?!
I love you all, and thanks for your support :)

Remembering 2008 - Wow 2008 has a lot or memories for me! Talk about my life completely changing! Thanks for all your prayers everyone - I really appreciate it :)

A good book I read: hmm, wow - I read so much that this could be hard! I would have to say "The Ultimate Gift" Great book, almost exactly like the movie!

A great film/movie I watched: Hmm, I like Princess Diaries :)

A new place I visited: Lets see, don't know if I've been to any new places lately ... a whole ton of repeats though!!!!!!

An inspiring verse or quote I read: Trust in the Lord w/ all thine heart, and lean not to thy own understanding.

A new skill I acquired: hmm, smiling even when your world is spinning around you!

A lesson I learned: Never trust anyone - you don't really know who people are! Yikes!

A moment I will always remember: Getting the phone call from my mother - telling me that we were moving back to New York.

Hmm, I tag: Rose, Amy and Arielle ...

New York? Yuck!!!

I turned 18 on Monday - so my offical days as an "adult" have started. Hmm, should be interesting I guess! I had a great day with some friends, and my parents threw me a small birthday party. We all had a great time, even though there was snow everywhere!

I would have never dreamed that we'd all be back in New York for my birthday ... yuck! Who in the world would want to live in new york???!!! Not ME!!! Anyway, I'd better not even get started, or there won't be a end to this post! :)

I finally mailed out my writing assignment that was due three months ago. With the confusion, moving, and holidays, I haven't been writing very much! I'm still not really back into the swing of things - but I had to get the assignment done before my instructor had a cow!

My dad had another interview at Harris, and they asked him to come back again! I don't know if they are going to ever make up their minds!! Just keep on praying about that situation please. He really needs to get a job, and so far all the northern folks are takin' their time! :)

Here are a few pics from my birthday party ....

Eating is always a good thing!

Sitting around talking :)

My cute Ice cream cake - isn't he cute? :)

My parents gave my a NY hoodie, I hate NY!!!!

Hmmm, self-pity?

I was sitting on my bed today when I looked around me and thought,
"You know what Sarah? Your a real jerk!" (Yup, no kidding people! Everyone still alive??!) Has anyone ever felt like that? You just "woke" up one day, and realized that you weren't what you used to be? That you've forgot about all the good things that have happened in your life?

The past month has been really, really, really, REALLY hard for me ... but I was just realizing that I still have sooo much that I could be thankful for. I mean come on - I still have both my parents, Samantha still lives in the same state with me. I have a wonderful brother-in-law who puts up with me all the time - grin, grin! Beth and I are good friends, even though I'm such a grump sometimes. And thanks to the Hances - a place to live!

So I'm resolving to try and be more thankful. No matter how hard my life is ... there is always someone out there is has it worse then I do. Even if I do miss the South, my friends, my church, a state that isn't full of nuts :) I still live in America where we can all be together ...

I love ya all, thanks for all your prayers through this hard time in my life ...
Be good ya'll!
