The summer sends its love to you.

About Me

My name's Sarah. I have a lot to say.
This world is where I breathe
Let it never be called home
I want to see miracles, to see the world change. I wrestled the angel for more than a name, for more than a feeling, for more than a cause. Still I'm singing, Spirit, take me up in arms with You.“You walk along Sunset and you can feel the energy… something intangible in the air. All that motion and no real change. We're all thirsty for it: thirsty for life, true love, meaning, the kingdom of the heavens… for the water that breathes new life inside.”
I don't belong here nor anywhere.
Mount Hermon feels more like home than my house ever has.
I am part hippie.
I am a patron of the arts. I am one of those people who will painstakingly weigh the pros and cons of every situation, and then toss my list out in favor of following my heart.
I always learn things the hard way.
My mourning has turned into dancing; my sorrow into joy.
I am in constant need of forgiveness and a hearty slice of humble pie.
Fortunately, I have two of the best brothers in the world to keep me in line. I love them with all my heart.
I crave sushi with unsurprising regularity.
I'm sorry I'm so difficult to live with-living is the problem for me.

My Interests

Less talk. More walk.

“freedom and truth and love are worth fighting for. Moreover, life is worth fighting for.”-Jon Foreman

The only things I need in life are good friends, my Bible, food to eat, water to drink, and maybe a guitar for music. Live simply.

I wholeheartedly support:

MUSIC: ART: WORDS: JUSTICE

A revolution of being. We want to see change. We want to dream bigger dreams. We want to collide. We want to make better art and better music. We're curious. We're moving outside the lines. We're thinking out-loud. We are lowercase people.

I'd like to meet:

Someone who understands.

Jon Foreman of Switchfoot and Jamie Tworkowski, the founder of To Write Love On Her Arms. ***On Nov 29, 2007, I finally met Jon Foreman. Jamie, you're next.

For you lurkers

Music:

My music is better than your music.

Books:

The Message Remix. Anything relating to philosophy and theology. Lately, the book of James. The Beatitudes are truly beautiful. Hamlet continues to fascinate me. These words constantly inspire me.

Heroes:


Jesus Christ. This picture gets me every time. He is Lord of Lords, He is King of Kings, He is mighty God, Lord of everything. He is the great I Am, He is the Prince of Peace, who is the Lamb. He is Alpha, Omega, Beginning, and End, He's my Savior, Messiah, Redeemer, and Friend.
Jon Foreman Everything he says is profound and worthwhile to listen to.
Jamie Tworkowski He's starting a revolution of love.
John Vanderwell. My respect for him keeps growing and growing. He knows me so well and keeps me grounded.
Alex Turner. One of the best listeners in the world. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. He gets me.
And all the rest of my Pondy friends. I love you all, truly.
Esteban.
I am constantly reminded of the fact that there are so many intelligent people out there who are smarter and wiser than myself. I wish to learn from them.
