Welcome to the Journey of a LIFEtime

Welcome to my blog! May it give you hope and strength to keep walking this road called life. No matter what lies your heart is telling you… Transformation IS possible. The secrets you hold deep down inside… the thoughts that haunt you when you’re faced with silent walls at night… those things you feel like you can’t tell anyone else… they don’t have to own you anymore. You can be free.

This blog is my journey. Mine starts today. So can yours.

My name is Sarah. I’m a broken human who often pretends to have it all together but deep down inside wonders how she’s ever going to get through this thing call life.

A few caveats…

I recently went to a conference hosted by an organization called Restored Hope Network. I walked in the doors with a suitcase full of cynicism and lies… up til then, I had framed most of my worldview on the notion that thoughts rule the day and determine my internal value, destiny, and identity.

The speakers said “transformation is possible” and I internally laughed. “Yeah right. Humans never change.” But then it hit me… In a sense, I was right… HUMANS never change (themselves) in a lasting way. Sure, we can adjust our behaviors, read a few self help books and be nicer to those around us, but we can’t change our hearts. Shit, I so wish we could! I’d rather not need the help of a divine Creator and rescuer, thank you very much. But what if He’s good? What if He really is for me and not against me? What if He’s powerful and came so that I could have abundant life? I don’t fully believe all this yet, but He’s got me on a journey from barns to sunrise.

This may sound like religious hogwash. Trust me, I get that. I’m the queen of cynicism and abhor triteness. Yet I too am a recovering Pharisee.

So welcome to the journey… if you dare. It’s not going to be easy, but once you get a taste of hope and peace, you’ll begin to wonder how in the world you existed for so long without them.

Disclaimer:
I’m still quite cynical and often inform God that I don’t want him to exist. But He can handle that. He can handle your rage too. Have at it. He’ll still be there when the dust settles and you’ve told him what you really think of Him.

You’re invited to embark on the journey of a lifetime:)
