The Sara Adventure

Jennifer Lowe, if you read this I want you to know that you are the reason this post is being written. So I dedicate it to you. To everyone, I didn't make this up, but I did add a few questions... but you'll never know which ones!

2. Mother's name? Marsha

3. Father's name? Ricky

4. Favorite drink? Water

5. Body Piercing? Yes, just my ears

6. What animal would you be if you could be one? a cat- they are stealthy but also allowed to sleep all day

7. Birthplace? Louisville, KY

8. Favorite vacation spot? Cozumel Mexico if I have a lot of money... but camping is cheaper so we do that a lot. I really enjoyed Petit Jean State Park. <3

10. Ever eaten just cookies for dinner? yes...

11. Ever been on TV? I don't think so... I've been in the newspaper a few times though. lol

12. Ever steal any traffic signs? No... but I've been tempted.

14. Drive a 2-door or 4-door vehicle? drive? I don't do that. We have a 4 door though.

15. Favorite brand of body wash? Whatever is on sale, maybe? I'd take some bath and body works though

16. Favorite TV show? The Office! yaya! I also love love The Daily Show, Family Guy, and American Dad.

17. Favorite number? am I supposed to have one? What about 22... that's my age.

18. Favorite holiday? Christmas! I love Jesus, family, baking, and decorations... what more could you ask for?

19. Favorite dessert? peanut butter oreo shake from Frozen Delite in Searcy, Arkansas. Hands down. but now peanut butter chocolate chip cookies will just have to do.

20. Favorite food? peanut butter. lol. um, and beans.

22. Name something you love: just one thing?! um, my life.

23. Favorite toothpaste? whatever arm and hammer stuff I have. it's pretty good.

24. Favorite smell? flowers... especially peonies.

25. How do you relax? run, do this, watch TV, bake...

26. How do you see yourself in 10 years? only God knows for sure. I'm glad I don't make up the rules, but if I did I would say: owning a house and a dog, with one boy and one girl. I would be doing counseling for free, and Alan would be church planting with a computer business on the side.

But who knows, eh? Maybe we'll be in another country, or we won't be able to have children, or I get into real estate. I mean, seriously, God is leading and I just follow. How many plans have I made in my lifetime that God has turned upside down? Too many to count, and I haven't even been living all that long! Just when you think you are in control or know where you are going, God reminds you that you need Him and Him alone!

Don't get me wrong, I love daydreaming about our future home and puppy. I imagine myself painting walls and planting gardens. Teaching children to walk and cooking big Thanksgiving dinners. However, I have to remember that I'm not in this thing for me.

Who do we live our lives for?
