Oh my goodness. Right. Now. Get. Off. The. Computer. And. Go. Outside.
It's gorgeous. It's sunny, with about three clouds in the sky. There's a slight breeze and the temperature is about 70 degrees.
Yesterday, I sat under a tree in a sundress with a bow, reading a book, my hair down and shining red, and I felt exactly like Alice in Wonderland. It was wonderful.
On Thursday, I figured out how to get up on the roof, and was hanging out there, until my sister tattled and my mom freaked out. Then I got at least four scars climbing a tree with shorts on.
Yesterday we had the Explorers game night at the Common Cup. It was really really fun. We played settlers of Catan! Jalen was crushing us, and was one point away from winning, then Rachel got the longest road and won. It was pretty epic. *laugh*
Tonight we're going to the Sparrow's for a bonfire!! Fun fun!
Uhm... I have more, but I have two papers due by Tuesday.
Signing off.
Hugs and Kisses

A Little Conversation
Sobbing, I scream until I can't scream anymore. There's no sound coming from my mouth, no air in my lungs, but I'm still screaming. I'm at a loss. I'm so confused. This just keep piling onto my already heaping plate. I'm so overwhelmed. I ask, "What do I do? What should I say? This has never happened to me. I'm so terrified!"
Daddy comforts me. He holds me in His arms and gently kisses my forehead. He endearingly says, "Give up. Chill out. Forget it."
I cringe, because I know He would say that. I curl up and just let myself be cradled by Him. He rocks me back and forth, slowly, hushing me with soft sounds. A tear slithers down my cheek. I whisper, "I want to give up, but I'm so scared that everything will be stripped away. I don't want to lose my brothers and sisters. I'm so terrified."
Daddy still rocks me back and forth. "They took everything from me. They hung me on a tree and gambled my clothes away. They took my blood. They took my apostles. They took my pride. They took my friends. They took my mother."
I look up at Him, my eyes large with fear, tears now streaming down my face. "If I lose my friends, I will lose my life." I bury my face into His robe. "I'm so terrified."
"Hush, hush. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it," He says. I realize what it means for the first time. "I love you," He says. "I love you so much." I look up, and He looks into my eyes. "I took your fear. I was terrified, too."

*smack forehead* Duh!
So, I got really really bored today, and read through all my posts. I just realized: I never wrote an intro!!! *laugh*
Alrighty, then.
My name is Sarah, of course. Sarah means princess in Hebrew (?) thus, the title for my blog. I'm not a crazy, egotistical maniac. Well... at least not the egotistical part. *wink*
I'm now 16, and have not yet gotten my license. I cannot wait until I do. I'm sick of having to be driven around everywhere. Rawr.
This is actually my second blog. The first one I started when I was in Berlin. I highly doubt it still exists. OH MY GOODNESS! It does! Well, here it is. There's not much, and (if I find out how) I'll probably just add it to my list of blogs. If I don't find out, I'll just copy and paste my posts.
Let's see, what else? I'm crazy? I've got awesome friends. I play violin. I dance. I'm horribly smothered in school. My dad's a teacher, my mom home schools us. I have two sisters - Rachel and Lydia. Probably all of you reading this already know everything I've written.
Right now I'm on dance break, so I have 3 hours more in my day. It's pretty dang awesome. However, it'll only last a week, and I'll probably go insane (-er) during this week.
Ah.... if there's anything you want to know, ask I guess...
Hugs and Kisses

Back to school, back to life
So....... I'm back to school. GAAAAH.
Actually, it's not that bad. I'm totally chill right now, and praying it lasts. Of course, I don't have dance this week, so I'm like *relaaaaax*
*smile*
For some reason, I'm really cold, and not hungry at all. Which is weird for me. Well, the not hungry part. I'm always cold.
Uhm... I'm really bored right now. Except I should probably memorize my lines. Unfortunately, I left my script at church... *smack*
Alrighty.............................. Dat's it.
How 'bout the game again!
Lost, mom, plaid?!?, awkward turtle, fail!, George Washington Carver, peanuts, Snoopy, Sherlock Holmes, big red chair, Blue's Clues, Magenta, Photoshop, blue eyes, Zaak, violin, orchestra, evil teacher, Newton... etc. etc.
Hugs and Kisses,

Easter Easter Easter.......... uhm.
So, as you can probably tell, I am EXTREMELY tired.
The St. Luke Youth Group did a 7:00am Easter Sunrise service. I didn't go to bed until 2, on account of blowing up at least 80 helium (teehee) balloons, then not being able to sleep. Then, at around 4:10, Byron came into the Sanctuary (where some of us were sleep. Very nice, and I recommend trying it sometime) and started pounding on these curtain things trying to rig it so it would fall... and yeah. Confusing process. Anywho, I went back to sleep, then woke up again at 5:20. Rebekah and Christa came at around 6:30, so I started dancing then. Then I danced again during the service. I can't believe it's only 9:50. It feels like 2 or 3 in the afternoon.
Later people are coming to our house for an Easter dinner. And my fingers are malfunctioning.
The dance went well. Uhm..... yeah. I'm tired. And can't type.
Yesterday I spent 40 minutes on the swing. All by me lonesome. It was pretty cool. I was just listening to music and thinking and praying. *laugh* I haven't been on a swing since like, last year. It was fun, but left funny marks on my legs, as swings do.
I hate snow. Well, that's a lie. I'm very very sick of this snow. Enough for the year. On Thursday we went to Jalen and Luke's house and had *drumroll please* a snowball fight. Or, as Tristan called it, a snewball fight. Heehee! It was really fun. We had a sword fighting tourney. I fought Rachel, and she won, but only because of an unfair stab. gr.
That's all, I think. Yeah.

*doo doo doo!!!* Number 50!
Drum roll please!
Alright, enough.
So, life?
Rehearsals for Mulan are going well, but I have yet to break the news to Carol... *bites lip* Oh dear. Goodbye, Sarah.
Rehearsals for Spring recital are going pretty well. We have the whole Cancan dance down, and are halfway through Claire de Lune. Wouldn't it be Claire de la Lune?? Because feminine words need the de and the la, whereas de le turns into du... Well, mini-tangent there.
I'm listening to this song 'I'm Not Cool' by Scott Krippayne. It's pretty awesome. It's about how he doesn't really care what other people think about him, and God always loves him and thinks he's precious.
YG on Thursday was AMAZING. I was kinda being silly and sulky in the corner trying to think of what to do about my silly little problems, but I was like, I don't even care. Then Spence came and prayed for freedom. I hadn't really thought about it, but that's what I really needed. Freedom. Also, my dreamboat showed me a verse. Psalm 32:8, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you." Also, there's 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you," although, I forget who told me that. So, I'm not going to care. I'm going to try and let Daddy take care of all my problems, as little or as big as they are. Anyways, after that, I felt so... free, I guess. I was just worshiping with all I had. It was awesome. It was really weird, but my mouth kept twitching to make me smile. Whenever I stopped smiling, it'd twitch again. I'm supposed to be happy. Be joyful. Also, make other people happy. Well, that's what I discerned it to be. Any insight from y'all would be awesome.
Also, my friend challenged me to stay in the Spirit for a whole day. He's also trying to do it, and says it's really hard, but totally worth it.
Spirit, freedom, joyful, and not caring. These are my goals for now. I'm going to also try and make it a habit to pray on my knees at least once a day.
That's all, I guess.
Hugs and Kisses,
~Sarah~

Oh, snap
So, stress got to me, and I snapped. Big time. I got up at 7, refused to do anything, even though I needed to teach, and slept until 11:30. I feel so selfish. I threw a tantrum, and was being a baby the rest of the day. Gwar.
I can't wait until tomorrow. It's Thursday, so I get to see people. Of course, Michael is in FL, even though I need to talk to him. Grrr.
That's all,

Weekend Stuff
Friday night we had the awesomest (yes) time ever! We attacked people on the forum... heh... heh... Both Michael and Zaak are now kitties. *evil grin*
We got candy and watched Wall-E, which, by the way, is one of the best movies EVER.
Saturday we went an talked to old people. I said three words: I'm a sophomore. Although, I suppose that's more like three and a half. Anywho, it was fun. I found a carnation on the parking lot! But I left it at The MacQuarrie's... sorry.
At the MacQ's we stayed up until 2 (?) looking at old drawings. Heh... heh... That was really fun. Then I had a dream that Iain came down at eight and said, "Time to get up!" and I said, "NO!" and pulled the covers over my head, and fell asleep. Then I woke up at nine. *smile*
I had a random rehearsal at the Garzynski's house... or however you spell it.
This morning I moved a two hundred and fifty or so pound desk downstairs into a room the size of a bathroom. By myself. Because my sister was being a jerk and not helping me. Loserface. *smile*
Dat's all I gots to say. 'Cept Lachlan's play was awesome. And I love We As Human. Uhm.......... Yeah.

The Best Weekend EVER!!
So, my awesome weekend started yesterday, even though it was Thursday.
We went to Explorers and had a pretty awesome time. It's awesome because there are only like fifteen people there, and all people I know. It's so much fun.
Then I had Pre-Pro. We had a regular class, but I had to leave after barre to go to Mulan rehearsal. That was fun because until 8:45 or so, they just worked on worker songs, lead songs, and reprises so Rachael, Vrie and I played on Rachael's iPod touch. Then we learned the finale and bow songs.
Then I went to Youth Group where they were making cards for the Grace girls. However, I forgot to sign it. Michael, you'd better bring it on Saturday!!
Tonight I'm going to sleepover at my dreamboat's house!!! Yes!!!! Fun fun!
Then on Saturday, we're going to the VA hospital for a ZTA project. And Rachel and I will be sleep-deprived. Mwahaha...
After that we're going to drive to Ada to see Lachlan's play and stay overnight at their house.
Yes! Best weekend EVER!!
But then it's Monday... *sigh*
Oh well. Not thinking about that.
Hugs and Kisses
~Sarah~
Oh, oops. Also! I got new headphones! They're Skullcandy. They're really cool, except I can't tell which one is R and which is L...
Also we're playing Stairway to Heaven in orchestra! It's really awesome.
Alright, now I'm done for real.

Cheesecakes!!
Your love is like a stain in my carpet
That I just can't get rid of
You love is like my college tuition
'Cause I've found that there's more than enough
Your love is like the smell in my freezer
I'll never find the source
Your love is like my roommate's massages
Without which I'd feel sore
CHORUS
Some say that your love's like a mountain
Or the rivers that run to the sea
But I know that your love's so much nearer
It's in everything I see
Oh oh oh It's in everything I see
Your love is like the air when I'm nervous
And I forget to breathe
Your love is like the boy in the next hall
Who never goes to sleep
Your love is like the hair in the shower
It's all over the walls and the floor
Your love is like the last piece of cheesecake
I'm so full but I still want more
CHORUS
Some say that your love's like a mountain
Or the rivers that run to the sea
But I know that your love's so much nearer
It's in everything I see
Oh oh oh It's in everything I see
Your love's like my overdue homework
'Cause I'm overwhelmed
Your love's like the debt that I'm gaining
'Cause I'm overwhelmed
Your love's like relationship issues
'Cause I'm overwhelmed
But your love is enough at the moment
And I'm overwhelmed
Your love is like a broken guitar string
But I don't know why
Your love is like sunburns and bee stings
But I don't know why
Your love is like laundry detergent
But I don't know why
You love me though I don't deserve it
And I don't know why
CHORUS
Some say that your love's like a mountain
Or the rivers that run to the sea
But I know that your love's so much nearer
It's in everything I see
Oh oh oh It's in everything I see
It's in everything I see
Oh oh oh It's in everything I see
