Forgiven much, Loving much
Hi! I’m Sarah, and I’ve been forgiven and changed by Jesus Christ. He is teaching me that those who have been forgiven much also love much.

"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation." With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. ~Isaiah 12:2-3

About
I love reading, writing, and living stories. Adventure stories are my favorite.
I’m a home educator (a.k.a. mom) and a pastor’s wife (a.k.a. jack of all trades). I have found that following Jesus is the greatest adventure.
I write articles, Bible lessons, and books, including my latest novel, “The Winning of Lady Wisdom.”
