the newest.

It's been a minute, hasn't it?!

Well.. here's what Sarah has been up to lately.

School.. all consuming and completely exhausting, but I am thoroughly enjoying this semester. I am learning things that I love, working harder than I have ever worked, and it is paying off. I feel so accomplished just juggling my schoolwork, let alone the other things I have committed myself to this semester!

A few months ago I mentioned something about spending more time getting my self physically fit.. mission in progress. I joined Crossfit Murfreesboro almost a month ago and it sounds incredibly clique but the place is changing my life. I have pushed myself farther than I ever have and I know this is only the beginning! I haven't seen a huge physical difference yet but I know it is only a matter of time. Not to mention I have already met some amazing people who love taking care of themselves in every aspect.. physically, spiritually, and emotionally. I know I am in the right place to learn to take better care of myself.

theSpring youth/college age is taking off. This past weekend we had our first "Youth Fallout" which was a big bonfire of ages 12-18. We ended up having some college age kids come too and totaled out at 25. Not a huge number, but I count it as a success. Not to mention we have incredible teens who are funny, talented, smart, beautiful, and wholesome. I am so blessed to know each of them and I know that they are teaching me far more than I could ever teach them.

Yesterday I picked up my guitar and played until my fingertips were numb. Today, I did it again. I'm still learning my chords, but it is progress.. right? I have this fresh breathe of motivation this semester and it is so exhilarating!

And last but not least.. this time in 2 months I will be packing two very large suitcases for a 6 month vacation to the country of Belgium. I say vacation.. more like a work/study opportunity, but to me it screams vacation and opportunity :)

That's it for now! Until next time...
