I Think I've Been Jonah

Hi friend, I’ve been trying to publish this all month. Not because I didn’t believe in it… At first, I told myself I needed to record the video first. And no matter what I tried, I couldn't get it right. And at some point, I realized: I was still delaying something I knew I was supposed to share. So I just published the post. No podcast. And honestly… that’s what the whole post is about. It’s called: Am I Jonah? Burnout, Christian Calling, and What Happens When You Run It’s about what happens when you know God asked you to do something… and you slowly drift. Not rebelliously. Just… because you’re tired. I share what the past few months have looked like for me, how I realized I was off track, and what it’s looked like to start returning — slowly, imperfectly. If that resonates with you, you can read it here: I also created something simple to go with it: The Jonah Reset — a 3-day Scripture & prayer reset Nothing intense. Nothing overwhelming. Just a quiet way to reconnect. If you’ve felt off lately… if prayer has felt hard… if you know you’re called but you’re just exhausted… You’re not alone. And you’re not disqualified. We’re just returning. — Sarah 🤍 |

Hi friend, As this email goes out, I'm heading into one of the busiest seasons of my work year—Chromebook collection at school. Over the next week and a half, I'll be collecting and assessing over 700 devices, which means long days, mental exhaustion, and very little margin. And honestly? That's exactly why this week's podcast episode and blog post felt so important to share. Because in busy seasons, it's easy to believe that if we can't spend time with God perfectly, it somehow "doesn't...
Hi friend, I hope you had a restful Mother's Day weekend. For me, this weekend felt slower in the best way. Church had such a powerful message about overcoming evil with good, and honestly... it felt like one of those mornings where you could almost feel the enemy trying to create distraction and frustration before the message even began. A warm auditorium packed with 500+ people on a warm Sunday morning in West Palm Beach definitely tested everyone's patience a little. But despite all of...
Hi friend, This month is going to be... a lot. My husband is in one of his busiest seasons at work—he's helping host graduations for 29 different high schools and adult education, which means long days, multiple events, and honestly... we will barely get to see him. If's one of those seasons where everything feels a little heavier than usual. More responsibility at home.More to keep track of.Less margin. And if I'm being honest, these are the exact moments when my finances usually start to...
