Identity- Lecrae

Hello, friends!
I'm back! Phew, it's been a crazy busy summer for me so far, but it's been a good one :) I guess I'll kick off the start of July (or, almost the start of July) with a song by one of my favorite bands, Lecrae. This band sends such powerful messages in their songs! "Identity is found in the God we trust; any other identity will self destruct." My identity is found in Christ. Your identity is found in Christ, too. Their words tell it all. I encourage you to listen to this amazing message. Reflect on it, and believe it.
Christ is Life, and the life I live is through Christ.

Love, Sarah Allison

Kari Jobe

So, I'm seriously in love with Kari Jobe's music. I don't know why I didn't buy her album earlier! I am in love with Jesus Christ, and Kari Jobe exemplifies that love in my heart in so many ways. Go check out her new album, Where I Find You, on iTunes. Do it!! I've been lifing my hands to Him all night long through her music. This video of her song, Here, is about coming to know Jesus Christ. I encourage you to listen and reflect on His greatness.

Have a great week, everyone!

Love, Sarah Allison

Summer is Here!

Hey, everyone!
I'm free! Summer is here, and I haven't blogged in so long!  Since I've blogged last, many exciting and awesome things have happened:
1. My sister got married on April 27th. It was a perfect and beautiful day :)
2. I am home for the summer! School's out, baby :)
3. I am going back to work starting tomorrow (Monday). I'm so very excited to be reunited with my co-workers and the kids again :)
4. I have an exciting Saturday planned with someone special ;) I'm very much looking forward to it.

Phew. There's a lot of great things happening in my life right now :) Continue to be blessed with what you have, and always, always, always, smile :)

Have a great week!

Life: It's Amazing

Life right now seriously can't get any better! So many great things have happened in the last 24 hours, it's crazy.
1. School is wrapping up for the semester. Exactly 2 weeks until summer!
2. My sister's wedding is one week from today! Soooo excited :)
3. The Lucky One is officially in theaters! I have read the book 4 times...
4.  I got asked to be a part of the Cobber Cru team for the 2012-13 school year! I am humbled and honored that people see potential in me to be a part of this wonderful Christian organization. I accept the offer, and can't wait to work with the wonderful Cru team next year :)
5. It's Friday! I am looking forward to a very fun weekend with friends :)
6. I am happy with where things are at with someone in particular ;) (you know who you are...)

So basically, life right now is pretty close to perfect. I encourage you to live life everyday with as much enthusiasm as I have today. Life's too short to worry about things, to have regrets, to wonder "what if." Life is a blessing; thank God for it every single day, because you are blessed.
Life: It's Amazing.

Tangled

This is my third blog post this week, I know. But, I need to share this song because it's fantastic!
I had a movie night with my roommates tonight and of course we watched our favorite movie, Tangled. Every time I watch that movie, I get "I See the Light" stuck in my head. Best. Song. Ever! (Well, my favorite song changes daily, but today, it was this song.)
So, here ya go :) I hope it gets stuck in your head, too...you're welcome!

Love, Sarah Allison

The Gift of Worship

No matter what day of the week it is, it's always appropriate to be reminded of important things. Today, everyone should be reminded about the gifts of worship. Be humbled, be loved, be His.

The true meaning of Easter

Happy Easter, everyone!
Sorry it's a little late, but better late than never, right? I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend. There's no greater time to celebrate how much He loves us than to remember how He rose from the dead and ascended into Heaven! This reminds me of a cute moment that happened this weekend:
On Friday, I helped my sister nanny for two adorable little girls. I asked the 2 year old, "What happens on Easter?" Expecting to hear about the Easter bunny and eggs, I heard, "Jesus rises, Sarah!" She is exactly right.
Although it is fun to go Easter egg hunting and get candy from the Easter bunny, Easter is all about celebrating Christ and everything He has done for us. On Easter Sunday, I always look forward to singing the hymn "Jesus Christ has Ris'n Today" because it honors Jesus. "Jesus Christ has Risen Today! Alleluia!" We are so thankful everyday for what He did for us, and I am honored to sing that hymn at the top of my lungs.
Always remember this saying that we say every Easter Sunday in Church: Christ has risen! He has risen indeed, Alleluia!
Love, Sarah Allison
