This whole Blog thing

My name is Sarah and I am the Kid's Ministry Coordinator at a Pentecostal Church in Adelaide, South Australia.

I have decided to start a blog- I'm not going to share it anywhere, or tell anyone that I have it... I will use this as a way to write down some of my thoughts on things.

I can't promise that I will regularly post. I can't tell you if I will even post after this first one.

Please enjoy my blog posts from an 'Almost Expert' (but not really).

This Is Me

The Greatest Showman is one of the best movies ever written.  I just saw it (weeks after everyone else, I know) and I was blown away by how great it truly was.  If you've been living under a rock, you might not know that this musical is all about the underdog proving to the world that they matter. Which is kind of what I'm all about- telling people that they matter.  The movie follows P.T. Barnum, a man who creates a show featuring 'odd' individuals- most notably a bearded lady, Lettie.  One particular scene had me in tears. It's a song called ' This is Me ' beautifully sung by the gorgeous Keala Settle (who plays the bearded lady). There are so many reasons I love this song- at the base level it's all about accepting who you are, but underneath all of that, I find it to be quite biblical.  The world says: no one will love you. God says: I love you.  This is Me lyrics:  I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars "Run away", the...

Just 'be'

It's the first week back of term, and my first week back of normal working hours. Last week our church had a huge outreach event, where all week long I was at work setting up for this (I even had a work experience student with me!).  I work 2 days a week-  usually one day is dedicated to planning our Sunday kids programs during the church service, and one day to planning our Friday Kids Club (with other things interspersed through these two days- e.g. meeting with children, running small discipleship groups, staff meetings, leaders meetings, etc).  By some miracle, this week I have run out of things to do.  I find myself sitting at my desk wondering what I could possibly do with the next 2 hours before I am meeting with a child.  My first thought is 'I should find something to do, maybe a boring admin job to fill my time'. However this is not what God wanted! He showed me that most of the time I focus on what I can 'do' instead of who I can 'be'. How a...

How I spend my day off

It’s a Saturday. My day off. You’d think I was sleeping in, having brunch and going for a nice relaxing walk down the beach. But no, I’m not doing any of that (although I would have got a sleep in if I didn’t forget to close my window overnight... the cockatoos woke me up early in the morning!) I’m not doing typical day off things - I’m busy looking for scratch art paper because we need some for an activity for kids church tomorrow (the black represents darkness / sin and when Jesus died on the cross, he took away our sin. He revealed who God created us to be - whole and without blame).   I’ve seen scratch art paper many a time in my various shopping travels. Can I find it now? 2 stores and it’s nowhere to be seen. Sold out.  So I’m now off to a third store to see if I can get some.   Why am I writing to tell you this?  Great question.  Partly, to vent about my frustrations of my past procrastination because now I’m having to do this on a Saturday... Partly...
