Ok so I don't really know if this verse exactly goes with my line of thought. . . but I think it sort of does. . . A little bit? =)
"A good name rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold." Proverbs 22:1
So here's what I've been thinking about. . .
My name, Sarah means: A princess
A princess; a daughter of the king. For me, since I'm a Christian, that means ALOT!!! It truly applies to me, to my life. The meaning of my name signifies to me a way of life. Something that I need to live up to, as a daughter of the King of kings!
A princess is something beautiful. Sweet. Graceful. Lovely. To be NAMED 'a princess' should bring joy to my soul. But it only brings a heavy plate full of conviction with a side of longing. Conviction that 'a princess' does NOT describe me, as it should. And longing that it would.
As a princess. . . I have alot of responsibilities. And I'm only just beginning to realize the immensity of it. Thankfully I don't have to take care of them totally on my own, because, obviously, I would be a miserable failure. I've already proven that! Thank you GOD for being here beside me, holding my hand, and carrying me through. =)

"Turn your eyes upon Jesus; look full in His wonderful face, and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light of his glory and grace."
These words. . . are basically. . . amazing.
Once after singing this chorus in church, a young guy gave this challenge: "Are the things of this earth growing strangely dim to you?"
It was just that one, simple question, but it jumped out at me and has stuck with me over the months. I cannot sing those words without thinking. . . Are they? Is Jesus so much in the fore-front of my view that the things of this earth are fading strangely into the background? Am I truly looking full into his glorious face? Is he more real and lovely to me than ANYTHING else on earth? Or are they just as important to me?
Anyway, Just a few thoughts. . . this has been really convicting to me. Every single time I sing that song, without fail. A constant challenge to me. =)
