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. When we draw forgiveness out of Christ’s well, He satisfies our thirst and enables us to love Him with all our heart, all our soul, all our mind, and all our strength.
"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

The red circle with the letters “ww” scrawled beside it took me off guard. My favorite English professor usually used editing marks I was familiar with, but I didn’t recognize this one. When I went to her office to ask, she said succinctly, “Wrong word, Miss Dixon!” “How will I know the right word?” I…

Out of the Mouths of Infants
You’ve probably heard J.M. Barrie’s fairy origin story in the book Peter Pan: “When the very first baby laughed for the very first time, the sound broke into a million tiny pieces which became fairies.” Hearing a baby laugh is a magical sound, and it is no wonder that joy gives birth to whimsy. Despite…

Subjected to Futility
I scooped up the dead kitten on the same day that I heard of a friend’s death. As I carried it on the shovel, I felt a deep sense of futility. Why had the Lord allowed the kitten to even be born? What had my friend’s life amounted to after countless struggles with addiction and…

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.”
