Recently I had the privilege of meeting Jody Hedlund , author of The Preachers Bride and a bloggy friend of mine when she held a book signing in my area. I had a lot of fun talking to her and learned a lot from her. She really encouraged me to keep my dream of getting published even when I'm taking a "break" from it right now. Even though it feels like I'll never have time to write again because I'm so busy with school, she inspired me since a similar situation happened to her before she started writing again. And speaking of school, I thought I'd give you some picture updates with what I've been doing... Cut & Highlights Cut & Color Cut & Color-lights!  fantasy hair for class contest Nail Art! Fun Updo Sophisticated Updo And speaking of writing, I have a devotional up at RealTeenFaith.com! Read " A Third Way " as you leave.

Hey, everybody! So I've been really busy with cosmetology school since August and haven't had much time to update. School has been a lot of fun! I've also been busy planning an online modest fashion show over at my other blog, Mod Style Lounge. This is the release: "A Girl’s Life Fashion Week is a modest fashion show hosted here, at Mod Style Lounge, for those of us who are proud to be girls, but protective of the bodies God has entrusted us with. The event takes place October 1-8, 2010. What you’ll do is post yourself wearing an outfit that fits within the theme of each day. You must participate in at least 5 of the 8 days to have a chance to win. The themes of each day will be...

Before you leave, I want to share probably one of the best music videos I've ever seen. Check it out!

So, I have a rather extensive reading list, but these are a few I most want to read... Seeds of Summer (Seasons of Tallgrass #2) by Deborah Vogts I read the first one in this series (Snow Melts In Spring) a while back after winning it from an online contest. And I'll say simply...I LOVED it. I would really, REALLY love to read this one! ON BACK COVER: When opposites attract, sparks fly--like an electrical malfunction. That's what happens when former rodeo queen Natalie Adams meets the new pastor in Diamond Falls. A heart-warming contemporary romance set in the Flint Hills of Kansas where a former rodeo queen abandons her dreams in order to care for her deceased father’s ranch and her two half-siblings, only to realize with the help of a young new pastor that God can turn even the most dire circumstances into seeds of hope. Spanning the Seasons of the Tallgrass, each story in this series reveals the struggle of the people who live there and the dreams they have for the land u...

While I was in Canada (I talked about getting ready to go in this post ), I brought my new copy of Guys Are Waffles, Girls Are Spaghetti by Chad Eastham (which is an awesome book I highly recommend for all teens. Check it out .) and read it when I had free time (mostly on the bus on the way down and back). In one of the chapters, Chad says the only way to conquer a fear is to do the very thing that scares you. This is not a pleasant thought for me. I’d say my number one fear is public speaking. It terrifies me. My church does a special sermon in each service after we come back from our youth trips where several youth tell a little bit about the trip. I received a copy of the sermon outline and saw I was not speaking. Relief flooded through me. A good way to end my last trip with the youth group, I thought. Sitting in the pews listening to the others talk. But a few days before the sharing Sunday, my youth pastor contacted me and told me that a girl who was speaking was unable t...

Here is reminder of my outfits for the week: Vote for me! Go to Natasha's blog and leave a comment that I was your favorite! {That is, if I was. Don't lie for me. hahaha} NEW! Now select "Miss Sarah" on the poll , along with two other ladies if you wish! UPDATE: Voting is now closed.

It's the last day of the online modest fashion show. Boohoo!!! :'( It's been a lot of fun! For my last entry...I call this my free-spirted look ;D I envy those of you who have wavy hair that actually looks good naturally. My bottom layer is wavy and my top layer is straight. So it looks kinda weird. I either have to straighten underneath, or curl the top layer. But since mechanical heat curls don't stay in my hair, I had to find another option. I found the Newave Curl Easy Pro Brush . It's easy and stays all day! {end infomercial} LOL It looks a little funny in this one because the wind is blowing it forward, but oh well. haha =] Back to my outfit... Top: JCPenny Boyfriend jeans rolled up: Old Navy Shoes: Walmart (wore these earlier this week )
