I sound like a man.
Unfortunately, my head cold and sore throat have given way to a hoarser voice... and I don't sound like myself. So please, don't be alarmed when you call me and I pick up-- you'll be talking to me and not my dad! I can't wait till my cold goes away... it's so strange to be sick in the middle of summer! I'm not exactly sure what I did to compromise my immune system... but I know for sure that it better be gone by saturday because we're all going cherry picking!
Today is Lauren's 22nd birthday... Just thought I'd throw that out there... even though she never reads my blogs. Happy Birthday, love!
I had the most amazing day yesterday. I went to Caris (If you don't know what that is I'll explain it in person) for my "unofficial interview" as a volunteer.... and I had so many reservations going into it- mainly because right before I left the house my parents gave me a lecture about how they disapprove of the way I spend my time (they want me to get a second job). I was also nervous because I didn't know if I was qualified enough... and I didn't know if God was calling me to commit my time to it. But once I got there, all of my apprehensions seemed to disappear. It became so clear to me that I belonged there. I felt so much peace! And after speaking with the director, she affirmed what I was feeling by saying, "You know, Sarah- whenever volunteers come in for an interview, I can tell right away whether or not they belong here. And after speaking with you, I know that you belong here... it's the Holy Spirit!"
I can't wait to begin there... it's going to be a beautiful journey!

I've been listening to Sarah Groves...
"You are the sun shining down on everyone
Light of the world giving light to everything I see
Beauty so brilliant I can hardly take it in
And everywhere you are is warmth and light
And I am the moon with no light of my own
Still you have made me to shine
And as I glow in this cold dark night
I know I can’t be a light unless I turn my face to you.."
