Hello World.

I think more clearly at night. When the world is asleep and I can just sit and think; no talking and no interruptions. Just me, the light from my Gateway laptop computer, and the silence. Perfection. I have never tried something like this before. Social networks are my specialty but I have never been brave enough to write about this mystery they call life. I suppose now is a good time.

I should introduce myself properly, I'm Sarah. Sarah Beth. Not a middle name, just another word to help me rebel against the masses. If you talk to me for any period of time, you will find that I do it quite a lot. I write, I take photos, I watch movies, I love the stage, and I enjoy adventures. I am nothing special, but the people in my life are.

First off, I am every label for Christian that you can think of. "Jesus freak", "obsessed", "radical". My faith is the core of who I am. Without it, I would be an impossible mess. When the ugly world starts to cause me fear and sadness, I lean on my precious Lord and it all melts away faster than it came. My God is my best friend and Holy Papa. Without Him, I am nothing.

I have literally the greatest friends anyone could ask for. I wouldn't change anything about any of them. There are always the bumps, but what doesn't have those? That's what makes things interesting. They make me smile when I don't think I can, they listen to my rants, they let me take massive amounts of pictures and never complain, they blow my mind daily, they accept me for me... I mean, what more could a girl ask for?

Once upon a time, when I was a wee little girl, I wished for a perfect puppy. I tried puppy, after puppy, after puppy, but none of them quite fit me the way I wanted. Almost ready to give up, I came across a precious angel on the Internet. Yes, getting a dog off the 'net isn't smart. Not in the least bit. But guess what? I got the sweetest, cutest, snobbiest, Pomeranian in the whole existence of planet earth. She is perfect. Don't believe me? Well, you will.

I told you.

I have one beautiful, hilarious, talkative, little sister named, Samantha. Or as she likes to be called, Sammie. She is one of biggest blessings God has given me. Her sense of humor is one of the sweetest things you will ever experience. It's is so innocent and pure. Really, something to admire.

And last, but not least, I am the daughter to the greatest mother that earth has to offer and the greatest father that ever was. My mom is my teacher, friend, and role model. She is kind, compassionate, tender, funny, wise, beautiful, loved, responsible, and the most amazing woman of God I have ever met. She has done so much for Sammie, my dad, and me. It's seriously mind blowing. The last 3 months she has been so strong. In the midst of so much stress and hurting, she has been the backbone we all needed. Without her, our household would not be running at all right now.

 Why, you may be asking. My daddy passed away in early June of this year. He had been extremely sick for close to a year. As much as it hurts to have him gone, it is such a comfort to know that he is whole again. He was an amazing man. The funniest guy you will ever meet. He loved us, Sammie, mom and me, more than anything this world could ever offer him. He was a die hard car guy and old music junky. Seriously, old cars were his passion. He loved God. Oh man, did he love God. That is by far the thing the I admire about my daddy the most. His obvious passion for the Lord. The memories are becoming less, and less painful. I just need to remember him for who he truely was. Whole.Well. Happy.

Well, this post has been much too long already. Did I mention that I talk a lot? I think this is really all there is to know. For now. ;) Have a happy, adventurous day!

Until next time,

-Love and Blessings,

Sarah Beth
