A Little About Me
My name is Sarah and I am a single young woman who still lives at home. I spend my time serving the Lord in my local, New Testament, Independent, Fundamental, Baptist church and learning how to run a house hold. Yes, I do hope to run a house some day which means I hope to marry some day. I've recently begun the adventure known as the 30's and no one has arrived yet but I trust my Lord and Saviour to bring the right one at the right time. I was saved (repented of my sins and became a Child of God) when I was 13 and I've been learning and drawing closer to the Lord Jesus each day since (though sometimes at a slower pace than I would like). A little more? Ok...I work as a piano teacher and a photographer. Plus a little babysitting and house cleaning on the side. I believe that the King James Version AV 1611 is the Bible. I believe in Heaven and Hell, in the Trinity, baptism by immersion, and serving the Lord in the local and visible church. I am a hands on type of girl who rarely sticks to one project at a time or for long periods of time. A few things that I enjoy are: playing piano, writing, reading, going to church, sewing, crochetting, knitting, cross stitch, movies, cooking, infants, photography, being with my family, doing hair, and much more. More than anything else though, I enjoy drawing closer to my precious Lord and Saviour through His Word and serving Him in my church. A couple of the ways I am blessed to serve Him are as our church pianist and as a youth worker. I do a bunch of odd jobs as well but these two are where my heart is especially burdened and I am very blessed to work in.
My Testimony
At the age of 5(ish?) I made a profession of faith but it wasn't "it" for me. I would say "the prayer" over and over again in childrens church "just to make sure". As I grew older I began to realize that this wasn't something to take lightly but something I needed to make sure that I had for real! Soon after I turned 13 my mother accepted Christ as her Saviour after 38 years of battling. Praise the Lord He continues to give second chances! After my mom got saved I had a "live in" testimony and witness! LoL! And the Lord used her! Finally, on June 1, 1998 I yielded my heart to the Lord, repented of my sins, and invited Jesus into my heart. Romans 10:13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." As a Child of the King I wouldn't have it any either way. Though hard at times and though I still have to go through "normal" life struggles I have the comfort of knowing that the King of the Universe is with me and will help and guide me if I only ask.
My Future
As I said earlier, I am currently single but I feel that the Lords will for my life is for me to marry, have children, and grow a Christ-honoring and Christ-serving family with my husband. "I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully." I Timothy 5:14 I'm hoping that the "younger" part applies to me. lol! I serve in my local church and always will, before and after marriage. "Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing." Psalm 100:2 "And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the LORD of hosts, their God," Haggai 1:14
I do not feel a strong particular calling to any certain area of service (i.e. pastors wife or missionaries wife) but I have felt a drawing towards the position of youth pastors wife. I do not know at this point if it is the Lord leading me in that direction because that is where I will serve or not. The awesome thing is, He does know so if I just trust Him and leave my life in His hands, He will take care of it. Recently I heard a differant "twist" of a very popular verse. Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Seek the Lord and Him only and He will put your life "plan" into order. Bring about His will. But only if we are seeking Him. Also, we must be sure that we(I) are doing His express will for everybody(i.e. salvation,dress standards,church standards,reading Bible daily,praying daily,and such) before we go asking Him for His specific will for our lives. You can't bake a cake if you haven't used all of the ingrediants and mixed them properly and at the appropriate times.
Well, before I get into a whole article I'll finish up my "Future" speal with this verse. "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." Jeremiah 29:11
