charming {key} compilations

i have a slight obsession with keys. mainly decor + jewelry. and now photography! always reminds me of the secret garden...

i would love to just start a collection

+ hang them on the wall!

the {great} outdoors

i braced myself as i started watching 127 hours. just hoping that i wouldn't have to turn it off. what i found in the end is that past all the gruesome + bloody images, it was completely heartbreaking. no one should ever be so selfish + prideful that they go somewhere by themselves, and especially not tell anyone...

and, {surprisingly} it inspired me. i thought maybe it would deter me from wanting to go on my hiking adventures ever again... but instead i started to make a list in my head of places i want to take my next adventures. and i would love to go where Aron hiked in the canyons, too. ::

#1. the bottom of the grand canyon

#2. {finish} long's peak... although not this summer... so sad.

#3. blue john canyon in utah... my gosh it's beautiful.

so maybe registering at backwoods is a good idea,

sail {away}

come, my love, we have oceans to sail.

{a hard} investment

had the best conversation the other day.

about love and who we choose to give love to.

you know what my conclusion was?

that love is easy to give away to those who make it simple to love them.

it's complicated and HARD when we have to step outside

our little box,

our close-knit group of friends,

our bubble of Christian acquaintances,

and choose to get to know someone that we may have NOTHING in common with.

someone that's extremely difficult to get along with.

a person that needs to be shown love...

more than friends we hold so tightly to who already know Christ.

i guarantee that if you + i start investing in that person's life and conversing continuously,

we have the ability to affect CHANGE.

think about it,

sarahjo

love + possibilities

you find your faith has been lost and shaken

you take back what's been taken

get on your knees and dig down deep

you can do what you think is impossible.

keep on believing,

don't give in

it'll come and make you whole again.

it always will,

it always does.

love is unstoppable.

{oh the} irony

"isn't it ironic?

we ignore the ones who adore us,

adore the ones who ignore us,

love the ones who hurt us,

and hurt the ones that love us."

{little} hearts

hmmm. i'm needing this right about now...

{too} much

this is how i've been feeling these days...

ZERO motivation/productivity.

ugh... 5 AM is coming way too soon.

{ps. returned to my original template with a little revamp! hope you like it! how i've missed it so...}
