Have you ever felt like you are at a cross road in your life???  I remember a few that I can point out specifically.  Times where I needed to choose which direction I wanted my life to go. 

I feel like there I am again.  And while it is not as significant as what I want my profession to be or who I am going to marry or how many kids do I want.....it is significant.   I feel God's call on my life in a way I have never ever felt before. 

I have always acknowledged God and His presence and authority in my life, but I don't think I DID life with God.   I feel like it is similar to spouses when they are not communicating and just living together.  Often it feels like you are just roommates living under the same roof, not a team working together intentionally. 

God has placed some people in my life this year who are intentionally walking out their faith everyday.   I was blessed with parents who have also lived that way.  Which was an amazing foundation for the time I was ready to choose it for myself.  Watching these people has just motivated me that going through the motions is just NOT enough.  I need to make specific choices in my life....and that is so hard for me.  I LOVE living in the gray areas.  Black and white is not my thing. 

I feel now like, if we are intentional about reading our Bible and praying and going to church...then why would we not be intentional about what we watch on tv, read in books or listen to on the radio.   What and where do we draw the line.   How do we change without offending others?  Or do we just not worry about offending others?  Do we stay silent or are we called to have a voice?  How do you move on once you hit a point where you know it's time to change but others aren't choosing the same things you are? 

I don't really think anyone reads this...but if you do....these are just thoughts that need to go somewhere.  I am definitely not trying to offend anyone.  Just journaling out loud.  :)  Enough rambling...til the next time my thought life is overflowing. 

I am not a writer by any means...but I feel like there are things I need to put somewhere lately....so here we go:

Almost a year ago, on a whim I signed up for Mary Kay. Not really knowing much about the company or the product, I just needed a change.....and I change I got.

I started out asking people just for practice....and every face I did I LOVED watching the transformation and women sitting taller in the chair after I gave a few tips and tricks. Or maybe they already knew everything I knew and we just got to visit for 3o minutes and chat...i LOVED that too. People intrigue me and this gave me the opportunity to reach so many more than I ever could just doing hair. I honestly never cared if i sold $1 or $100, I just loved every face I saw.

But the change didn't stop there. Every week I got to go to a meeting with women of integrity. The real deal who were committed to running their busin...

esses the way Mary Kay the woman intended! With honesty, encouraging everyone to run the race together, not alone....and the way GOD would want you to. Placing GOD FIRST, FAMILY SECOND and our CAREER THIRD. I was also encouraged to do just that. Get in the word. Spend time with God every day and make HIM my business partner...and I truly believe that's where I started becoming Sarah of today.

I am not content to just "talk the talk" anymore I want to "walk the walk" that Jesus himself showed us how to do perfectly. In my home, with my friends and in my business.

Thank you so very much for your support, for the fun I get to have with all of you and for growing with me!!! This business has blessed me in ways I NEVER thought imaginable and I hope your pink products on your counter tops can remind you of great things too!!!
