One of my favorite songs.


Who am I? that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt!
Who am I? that the Bright and Morning Star

Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart.


Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done

But because of who You are!


I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean,

A vapor in the wind.
Still You hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am.
I am Yours, I am Yours!


Who Am I? that the eyes that see my sin,
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again.
Who Am I? that the voice that calmed the sea,

Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
but because of what you done.
Not because of what i done,
but because of who you are.


Whom shall I fear?
Whom shall I fear?
'Cause I am Yours!

Little Ones


Children are beautiful and sent from up above!

My nephew Elijah at the beach!
Good Evening,
Me and my husband have been married four and a half years now! 
The first four years I was very scared to have children. 
I almost felt like it would be a burden on me if I did find out I was pregnant...
horrible right?! :(
Please know that I don't feel this way anymore and even when I did, 
it was only for a little while.
Now those feelings have left and God has completely changed my heart! :) 
Sadly, in the world we live in today, children mean nothing!
In America, abortion is on the rise like never before. 
As for the rest of the world, children are being sold into slavery, killed, abused and literally staving to death in the streets of most third world counties.
In this process of God changing my heart, He brought a few Bible verses to my mind.
Here are just a few:
My cousin Charlene's little girl, Alexis!



"Children are a heritage from the LORD, 
offspring a reward from him." Psalms 127:3 NIV

"For you created my inmost being; 
you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; 
all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalms 139:13-16 NIV

"A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world." John 16:21 NIV

"He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14b NIV


This is me when I was little :)
Again, these are just a few of many. 
If you think of any other ones, 
please leave them in a comment. 
I'd love to hear your thoughts also.
At this present time, me and the love of my life are no longer preventing having children.
Now it is completely in God's hands!
I hope and pray that I've inspired you with sharing my thoughts.
We need to come together and realize once again that children are little blessing from above 
and not burdens to hold us back.
Me and my nephew Alessandro    
May The Lord fill your heart with love and happiness!
~Sarah Schober~

God's Playground

Good evening!
I've always had a love for photography and it's really hard to nail down what I actually love to shoot the most. 
If you know me in any way at all, one of the first things notice 
about me is...
I have a zest for life and I am one big variety pack! 
That being said, I love to take photos of pretty much anything and everything!
But what I most enjoy (especially during the summer) is taking my camera and going out in the wilderness taking pictures of God's creations!
So I've put together a little slide show to show just a few of my favorite images of what I like to call...
 "GOD'S PLAYGROUND!"
ENJOY!! 
NOTE: Not all of the images you see have watermarks on them, however, I promise you, these pictures were 100% taken by me, I did not steal them :)

The song is called "You are my hope" by Skillet (aka my favorite band!)
