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

Cure for Unbelief
A four year old who is dear to my heart visited this week, and when I announced that it was time to clean up all of our toys, she had as many excuses as Moses when He was called by God to return to Egypt. “I am so tired,” she tried. “My hands are too…

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.”
