My name is Sarah, and I’m a homeschooled high school sophomore. I live in Illinois with my parents, 2 dogs, 1 and ½ cats (we share one with the neighbors) and between 6 to 15 chickens. I’ve never really counted the chickens. I run the sound board at my lovely church, play classical piano, small amounts of acoustic guitar, and bass. I love music - it’s my passion, and I’d like to be a producer when I grow up. I also love to write, read, edit photos and make graphics. I don’t like making conversation, meeting people, or being in large crowds, but I cover that up pretty well. I’m also a first-class nerd. Seriously. My trusty 1984 Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary counts as recreational reading, and I know more about Narnia than anyone should know. Despite my hardcore nerdiness, I’m still your ‘typical’ teenage girl. I love to shop, try on clothes, and do my hair and makeup. I spend most of my time at home, ingesting large amounts of Ramen noodles and cereal.
However, none of that matters.
The most important thing in my life, the one thing I’d truly miss if it was gone, is my Beloved. He delights in me because I delight in Him. He ransomed me, paying the price of His own death, because I’m precious and honored in His sight. He loves me, and I’ll never fathom that love until I’m standing in His throne room at the end of my days (or the end of the earth’s.) I could search for true love from a boy or a friend or even my own family, but I know that their definitions of love don’t match His. So I don’t search. He supplies the answers my overactive mind wants, the peace my tired soul needs, and the hope that my distrustful heart craves.
His name is Jesus.
Maybe I’m overly poetic about other things, but all my words and stories put together would still be lacking in description of Him. For once, lacking doesn’t seem so bad, because I don’t want to give my life and heart and my very soul to a God that can be illustrated in words He created. What’s the fun in that?
