I’m BAAAAACK! Announcing The Vibrant Life 21 Day Refresh!

Posted on by

Hi Friends! It has literally been 3 years since I’ve blogged on this space of the world wide web. You see, back in October of 2015, I heard God whisper to my heart that it was time to set aside writing…to press pause…to put it away. Gosh, it was sweet to take a break as I knew my heart needed mending and rearranging and healing. In that space of what I call a closed door, I really found wide open space to spend time with God and I’ve grown in some sweet and really hard places. Well, now it is October 2018 and I’m back at it and I’m excited to share with you about my new, FREE email devotional journey called The Vibrant Life 21 Day Refresh.

I would love to share my heart on what this Vibrant Life Refresh is all about…

What does {Vibrant Life} even mean, Sarah?? So glad you asked!
Vibrant is not about color or loud exclamations. It’s a sparkle in your eye because you are confident in who God created you to be. Confident in His good path. Confident that you are truly known, seen, loved. It’s simply walking sure footed that you hear His voice–your True North. A Vibrant Life in Him starts with the quiet space of sitting and staying awhile in His Word. It starts there but then it moves toward making space for God to move through us to love others and do life differently…to point back to our True North.

This is how we leave our mark. His vibrant, creative work in us and through us takes us to people and places where we make His love known. That is world change. That is legacy.
Won’t you join me?

Hi friend! How is life?

I wanted to hop on the blog to check in and leave you with an article that I wrote for iBelieve.com. I’m super passionate about it. Things are going well around here. I attended The Influence Conference in September and came home all fired up to get a new book project started and find a new publisher. Then a bit of “real life” hit and we decided as a family that it would be GREAT if I started a part time job. I has been great and takes a bunch of stress off of the ol’ bank account. I’ve been substituting for my son’s school. Whew! Tons of adorable elementary kids eager to give hugs and high fives.

It has been an adjustment for sure but I am sitting in the peace and confidence that this is right where I need to be…even if this makes my writing time few and far between. I am making the most of getting out of the house and out from behind my laptop as I am boldly asking God to show me more of His presence. You see now I am outside of my comfortable chair and blanket and laptop and forced to seek Him in the real world. This is a good thing. A very good thing. I’m looking forward to new thoughts and perspectives to share with you in the future.

Here is a teeny tiny bit of the article I wrote, Confronting Casual Christianity. I would be honored if you would click over to iBelieve and check out the rest of it!

A phrase has taken captive my heart and mind over the last few days, one that we’ve all said probably with out knowing we’ve said it. It is part of our language.

Sooner or later

I’ve caught myself saying this phrase in the past when I’ve contemplated God’s kingdom and my place in it. Sooner or later I will be good enough for God. Sooner or later I will find forgiveness. Sooner or later I will give forgiveness. Sooner or later I will have enough money to donate or time to volunteer.

These are things we tell ourselves will happen when the time is right or when we feel right about it. There’s a sense of passivity of this phrase, sooner or later. When we put off taking our place in God’s kingdom until when we are good enough, have an abundance of money, a surplus of time we make ourselves vulnerable to missing out.

I hope your fall is going well and that you are finding your sweet spot with the Lord!

The LIST

The List

Hi friends! Welcome to Friday and the LIVE IT OUT! List. Mind if I take this list to be a teeny, tiny bit selfish? Ok! :) I am in desperate need of your thoughts. You all bring so many lovely things to the List each time so will you take a moment to consider these questions? I am working on a new project to pitch to a publisher and I want to make sure I am on the right track. Whenever I write, it is so important to me that I am cutting to the chase and writing to what will serve you and usher you into a more meaningful conversation with Jesus. So here goes. This is a bit raw for me to ask these questions and put the whole book project out there. Raw and nerve racking.

While the title is not nailed down the main concept of this new project is: Meditations on a Life Entangled in the Presence of God.

It would mean so very much if you would take a quick sec and leave a comment to any or all of the questions below. I cherish your thoughts and ideas.

~The word entangled can have all kinds of connotations attached to it. But, what does the image of “life entangled in the presence of God” say to you? What do you first think of?

~ What kinds of limitations do you feel (if any) does the world…or maybe even the church… put on your personal interaction with the Lord via prayer, His Word, worship, His creation?

~ While still grounded in Scripture, prayer, worship, what do you long to see in your relationship with Jesus? What seems to be keeping you from experiencing God in fresh ways? What limitations do you place in your relationship with Him?

Ok…those were pretty heavy questions. I seriously can’t wait to see what you think. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for taking time to share these with me. If you feel like you would rather not share publicly, PLEASE feel free to hit the contact button at the top of this page and it will email me directly with your thoughts.

Hugs to you!
