I am Sarah, a student of stories. I live in my head.

two thousand and fourteen.

(found on Pinterest)
resolutions 
(ignore the fact that it says 2013 :D)
A bad habit I'm going to break: Biting my fingernails. It's one of those things that you wish you could stop doing, but CAN'T. 

A new skill I'd like to learn: How to play the guitar.

A person I hope to be more like: Two people come to mind for this one:
 one) My mom, because she works so hard for our family and is always attentive to our needs. She struggles sometimes with insomnia and minor health issues, but she always wakes up bright and early and doesn't seem a bit tired. I want to have her tireless, enduring spirit and her incredible work ethic. 
two) My French teacher, Mme Bitton. Her love for Jesus and passion for her work is so inspiring. Every class,she asks for prayer requests, and ALWAYS starts out her prayers with "Lord, I thank you. I thank you SO MUCH." She not only inspires me in my faith, but also with her love for all of her students and her eagerness to help us learn. 

A good deed I'm going to do: I want to let my faith shine out of me more, so that I can impact my small corner of the world with the light that God has given me.

A place I'd like to visit: NOT going to pick just one. 
one) France (mainly Paris, but other areas would be nice, too)
two) California
three) Disney World
four) Lots more that I can't think of right now but will think of as soon as I hit "Publish" for this post.

A book I'd like to read: Gosh darn it there are SO many. Here are five that I can think of off the top of my head:
one) (Finish) The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
two) The rest of the Heroes of Olympus series - Rick Riordan
three) The LOTR trilogy - J.R.R. Tolkien
four) The Harry Potter series - J.K. Rowling
five) David Copperfield - Charles Dickens

A letter I'm going to write: To V, my compassion girl.

A new food I'd like to try: I would like to delve deeper into the world of Indian food. Also, legit French bread and the like wouldn't be all bad.

I'm going to do better at: School and building relationships. 


I'd love to see how you all answer these questions! I didn't make up these questions but I'm giving you permission to use them on your own blog (or even just in the comments section). Haha. Link to your blog in a comment if you do it so I can seeee! :)

  1. Loved reading through your answers and goals for the new year! I may just use this to help me with my goals as well. :) oooh! I want to go to France (Paris mostly) as well! Also, you must come visit me on your travels! If you ever get to go to the second place on your list, let me know!!

    Also, I want to read the LOTR trilogy. It's on my mental list of "to-reads".

    Yes! And I want to get better at my guitar playing. You should start learning! Guitar is fun. My favorite style is finger-picking style like from "I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran. So pretty.

    I love how your French teacher asks for prayer requests from her students and starts out with thanking God. Such a good example. I'm going to remember that.

    Much love!
