Song From My Heart...

"I have trusted in your mercy,my soul shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord because he has dealt bountifully with me"... Psalm 13:5-6

"I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall continually be in my mouth, my soul shall make its boast in the Lord"... Psalm 34:1-2

The past two days have been productive..I have been able to help out in office and do some administrative work, and at night enjoy Jerusalem!

One of the goals i set for myself, was when i had "down" time i wanted to use it to my advantage and write songs...I knew coming here i would be inspired by all sorts of things, and i could only use inspiration to my advantage! So, these past couple days i have written 4 songs--And all 4 of them i am already proud of, so its a positive sign!(we'll see what Peter says when i get home, if he likes them then i know they're good)!

Christmas 2002, i was 12 years old.That Christmas i wanted a T.V SO BAD!! I had a feeling my parents were going to get it...My Dad is NEVER good at keeping Christmas secrets, so i KNEW i was getting a TV when he would call me into his room and give me hints(yet did i know he was tricking me)...MUCH to my surprise that Christmas i got a Baby Taylor Guitar... i cried, and cried because i had NO interest in a guitar. I wanted a TV for my room. My Mom tried to comfort me by saying, " Sarah you like to sing now you can use this as a tool for when you grow up, you can sing and play the guitar"... i still was stubborn and couldn't see my future as my Parents did...

But now im beyond thankful that my Parents got me a guitar... the picture above is that very guitar! I brought this guitar over with me to Israel so that i could use it for ministry over here.

Mom and Dad thank you for seeing a gift in me at a young age and giving me a guitar. The guitar has become my "friend" over here in Israel...

If you think of me, please pray that i continue to be inspired!!

Love to you all,

Sarah
