I have a new job.I
was hired at a local Young Life Camp called Castaway. It has been
wonderful so far! I have a lovely intern named Rachel from TN who is so
good and sweet! This week is called WORK WEEK and for good reason cause
we are working alot! I am in charge of retail which includes a
store(clothes& stuff), a coffee shop, a snack bar and a craft cart!
I have no idea how I'll manage it all but hey Gods good so it'll be
all right! Today and tommorrow I'm training and changing up store with
the big wig of cammp retail. She's so nice and very helpful, I'll learn
this retail business if it kills me! The camp is beautiful and has a
huge lake and its great to be outside. Plus I get like every meal for
free which is great.
Facebook?
It seems as if everyone
is switching over to Face Book and I dont have one so I probably should
make one. I have this and a xanga although I almost never use that so
maybe I'll delete it, although I could copy this very blog on their and
vwol lah! I'll have used it.
Love.Jason and I are doing
very well and we are very much in love. We've gotten to go fishing a
few times and it is the best time. For him fishing is like his moment
of Zen, its really precious. We have yet to get our lovely vintage boat
in the water but Jason cleaned it last weekend so that should happen
soon. Coming Home.We are still coming to Chicago and
going to Cornerstone in July so if you are planning on going to Cstone
do it! I want to get to spend a week with you and have you guys spend
time with Jason! After the fes we'll stay in Chicago for probably 3
days and then its back to MN. Love you all! Sara

oh the joys of learning to be a part of a new family.
it went well though.
I lost it a little bit at the end of Christmas day.
I miss Ben and Isaac.
Although Isaac a little less cause he came up to Fargo last weekend
and played a show at Red Raven.
I really like Fargo, its a fun little city.
but yeah I cried for my brothers,
and my mommy.
26 year old baby is what I am.
I got a ticket to cornerstone for Christmas from my husband.
Which is both a promise to go to cornerstone
and
a promise to see my family this summer.
Its awesome how he knows me.
Go rent Once. Its beautiful.

| We got to sleep in until 10:30 today! It actually felt a bit excessive but sooo good!
Chicago was amazing! It was so great to see those of you that I did. We stayed a couple nights at Ben's condo in the city. He was so excited to have us. We had some very serious risk matches. Then we went to the Pastors retreat in Green Lake. It didnt feel super retreaty to us as we had to get up early alot! But Derek Morphew did the teaching and it was so good. He taught the story of Peter. I never got a full understanding of Peters story and all that jesus did with him. Like after Peter retreats back to being a fisher man and jesus comes and sees him again and asks him if he loves him. I always thought that was straight like Do you love me but Derek explained the context and that he was actually asking him "do you really love me more than everyone else?" Cause that was totally Peters attitude, to be the SUPER disciple. And at that point peter is so broken that he responds with a "you know whether or not I do" kinda statement. Thats where I want Jesus to take me. Where I can say, "I dont know if I'll try, I dont know if I "love" you all the time but I know I'm yours. I'm wrecked for you, theres nothing else I want." I know so many occasions that I've made Jesus some serious promises and had my "im gonna be the best christian ever" attitude and I know he's laughed at me. But he loves me, like he loved Peter. Notice he named Peter the rock way before he was even close to rock status, and he names me things long before I've started to even show them. Jesus is amazing!

| Hi lovelies. Hope life is sweet and stretching for you. This week has been very challenging. Last weeks work turmoil continues. I battle to make a difference against a stubborn woman( or who I'm really battling with) and that was heavy on me. Especially on Tues, as it was her first day back and she had both guns up in defense. Jason says I intimidate her. Ha. She scares the hell out of me. I discussed it though and I felt a release the next day. She softened and I chilled out a bit and it got better everyday. My work week seems so long to me even though its only 4 or 5 days and less than 40 hours. Jason officially became the worship director of our church today. It confirmed to me how much I agree with the idea of mentoring and a "passing on of a mantle" of sorts. I see so many church and para-church ministries that are going to simply fizz out if they continue to refuse to reproduce themselves. Its madness. I think we we're meant to be in our calling for a time and then to teach someone else and let them rise to the occasion. We must remember we are so small and our time is short. Reproduce what you know in someone else. Thats what Dana did with Jason. For three years he knew that he was to pass this onto him and so he chose to take him in and teach him all he knew. I wish I could've seen more of it, but what I did see was beautiful and my husband is a better man for it. They had a banquet tonight for young life in our town, and Jason and I are praying about what we could do to help. They present it as more of a mission type thing than just a youth group, I hope thats the vision they are really acting upon. I definately agreee with them that going to the schools is a great approach and I think more youth pastors should be doing that. I miss Chicago and we are coming on Thursday! Anyone who wants to try to get together let us know! We'll be there Thursday through Monday night. After that we're going to a pastors retreat in wisconsin. I'm excited. I love my new church and can't believe how well it fits me. God knows what I need. Sara | | |
| And thats good!
Hi. This week has mostly been work as one of the owners is gone for the week and we all had to help pitch in. Oh I work at Lakes Brewed Awakening in Detroit Lakes, MN for those who are unaware of where the heck I ran off to. Its about 3 1/2 hours from the Twin Cities and a hour west of Fargo. When I first moved here I was working in Fargo for Caribou. I loved it there and when they asked me to train to take my own store I considered it. But then I thought about the family I was on the verge of creating at the time and God spoke to me not to in subtle ways. To be an hour away from home 5 or six days a week working long hours(the training alone was 55 hours a week and then you add in driving!), I just didnt think my newly wed status would do well in those conditions. So anyways here I am working four minutes walk from our apartment at a coffee house my friend owns with another lady. And the walking and the people and the serving and loving is great but I don't find a TON of passion in it. I mean at Teen Challenge I was in more of what I feel I was made for despite the hardships of living with all those girls. I have peace though. I know whatever I do its for Him and that makes it so good. And besides when I get to work my IPOD goes into the stand and that makes me feel a lot better. :)
