I guess I should speak on here.

Life is interesting. And giving your life to Christ makes it even more interesting. I’m happy, joyful, and at peace, and sometimes the world tries to confuse us into thinking that peacefulness is boring.

When was the last time you just sat in silence? No music playing, no distractions, just you.

If I can be honest, I’ve been on a different aspect of my journey with God. In previous years, it was all about studying the Word, reading the Bible, attending different classes and Bible studies, and consuming all the insight I could get.

Who would’ve thought that this past year God would require application from me?

What I mean is that this past year, I spent a lot of time applying all the knowledge I learned and I am still learning. My new job role started it off for me. In the beginning, it was so hard. It felt like I stepped into a new world, and I didn’t know how to find my way or how to combine work Sarah and Christian Sarah.

I tried to stay on top of things and still go to Bible studies. I became distracted and busy that first week of my job. Then the Holy Spirit revealed the problem after countless prayers to God and a lot of deep, real conversations with Him.

The reason I felt so burdened and tired was because I attempted to do it without Him.

I thought He was dropping me off and saying, “Okay, now go be great,” but that wasn’t the case. He was walking in with me, sitting at my desk with me, in meetings with me, helping people with me. He was right there next to me. All I had to do was acknowledge Him and invite Him into my day.

Once I started being in constant prayer with Him, I realized that was the goal in the first place. How did I expect the blessing without the Blesser? Lol.

So, we’ve been rocking together, and it may not look like how it used to from the outside, but I have actually been getting closer and closer to Him by applying His truths to everyday situations.

The Word of God is truly a sword.

I’ve been in situations I have never experienced before, stressful moments, hard conversations, and just a lot of tribulations, lol. And the woman I am today wouldn’t have been birthed without them.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance." — James 1:2–3

I am not the same Sarah I was when I started this blog. I am not the same Sarah I was before.

God is maturing me through sanctification, and although I may not post or speak about things as much anymore, trust and believe I’m still rocking with my best friend, Jesus Christ.

One day, I hope to share more with you all. But for now, remember these words:

Everyone’s journey is different and specific to them. You don’t know what people go through behind closed doors. Remember this when you give God your yes and your journey doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

Remember, God doesn’t need your help. He can do it all by Himself.

Let Him cook.
