Elsie Challenge

This is the first scrapbooking I have done since we moved 3 months ago! Elsie's challenge to write about how I have evolved in 2007 inspired me to get back into it! The journaling says...

In a box
What if they see me?
Afraid to fall
Grieving...Changing...Growing
Free
Not afraid anymore
Alive
Able to be me

I've grown so much this year. I think the biggest change has been just being more comfortable in just being who I am...who God has made me...learning to just be happy being Sara.

2007

Some memorable events from 2007...
Zeke was 1 year old. Elijah turned 3.
In January, we had a huge ice storm in Springfield and lost power for over a week. We spent that time at my parent's house with them and my cousin Robbie and his family.
Wes and I both worked for Saladmaster Healthy Cooking Center.
In July, my grandma "Mimi" started having seizures, spent about 5 days in the hospital before passing away on July 31. This was by far one of the hardest times of my life. I miss Mimi more than I ever imagined possible.
In August and September, Wes began talking to several churches about youth ministry positions. After much prayer and lots of talking, we moved to Maryville, MO at the end of September.
And that's where we are now...serving God at First Baptist Church, Maryville. It's been a hard year, but it's been a good year. Only God can make those two words go together so well!
