costs + rewards.

i hope maybe someday you'll see that i'm not such a terrible person.
{& that you messed up too.}

i wonder if you even realize how costly your mistakes have been...
& how hollow the reward is.

delicate + enduring.

i hate having sleepless nights.

i hate when i feel that someone got the best of me.

{insecurity can be such a thief.}

& i really hate letting go when i don’t want to.

but i know i need to.

thank goodness i don’t need to be strong all the time.

because He will be that for me.

{by His} grace.

{He breaks every chain.}

{You took} my heart.

today is not about “singles awareness” {in my opinion.}

let’s see the glass half-full, shall we?::

it’s about loving others.

loving yourself for who you are.

& even greater, God’s love for us that is an anchor holding steady.

He is constant.

& no one else could have a love like that.

He took my heart + i’ll never take it back,

sarahjobell

conviction + grace

oh you got a fire + it’s burning in the rain

thought that it went out, but it’s burning just the same

& you don’t look back, not for anything

‘cause if you love someone, you love them all the same.

you know what i don’t get? love that supposedly we, as humans, have for one another {or lack thereof.} it’s selfish, judgmental, + critical. i read an article the other day about this victoria’s secret model that quit because of her beliefs. the reactions + comments some people wrote were harsh + cruel. i guess it’s ok for us to gossip about a young christian woman {who obviously realized an error she made} + put her down simply because she is in the spotlight? or because she’s pretty + thin?

God forbid YOU make a mistake, feel convicted about it, & have it shoved back in your face by others. that’s not love. i find it so refreshing that she recognized the veil being pulled over her eyes. & that is why there's forgiveness + a second chance. GRACE. we may not deserve it, but that’s why His hands took the nails.

what if i share my brokenness?

what if you share how you feel?

& what if we weren’t afraid of this crazy mess?

what if we were real?

confession session {memories + milk}

i'd like to think i don’t act my age all the time {in a good way.} i get kicks + giggles out of simple pleasures:: sleeping kittens, pastel//light//airy photography, period piece movies {pride + prejudice never gets old}, the smell of book stores, hidden critters on my water bottles, & now milk cartons!

hello, milla milk! this brand puts childhood confessions//misdemeanors on the carton, because let’s face it:: whether you just plain love milk, enjoy a nice chocolate mustache, or prefer a little with your cereal and//or oreo’s…milk creates a happy feeling!

{wish i knew where to shop for this stuff}::

can you tell i love milk?

sarahjobell

ease {the ache}

some things you can’t disguise.

{so give your heart a break.}

my {fresh-picked} friday five

it certainly feels like years since i’ve done a friday five. need i say i’ve gotten lazy with my blogging? {because we all know it’s true.}

1. classes for new updated charting at work are OVER. thank you, Jesus. it’s quite stressful all changes going on.

2.started running this week. {again.} want to be in a bit better shape when i go to the sunshine state next month.

3.ok, i think i might give in and read the hunger games series. {eventually.} saw the preview last night for the movie. gave me goosebumps.

4.looking ahead with my husband to spring//summer festivities:: siesta key in march, concerts//5k in kc in april, maybe a coldplay concert in june? color run in the fall? oh, how i love wanderlusting.

5.can’t stop my tee shirt fetish! urban outfitters, just stop appealing to me already!

happy weekending my lovelies,

sarahjobell

{love} defies odds.

love is like floating around.

love breaks through barriers.

love is not a piece of cake.

& love is not nonsense,

sarahjobell

every.love.

Oh, how wonderfully lovely is february.

february 10^th. Not so far away now.

celebrate everylove. {starbucks, this IS better than your christmas cup.}

{let’s love without limits… all.year.long.}
