So I am sorry to anybody out there that was keeping up with my blog. I got a little busy and just did not take the time to write. A LOT has gone on since March 21st. A week ago on the 11th I turned 19. WEIRD! I suppose growing up I looked forward to being 18 so much that I guess I really did not think about past 18 a whole lot. lol.. I am blessed to have lived 19 years on this earth and I am praying to be blessed with many more. I was seeing 19 as a pointless age. Because I considered 18 to be such a pivotal age (which it was) and I think that 20 is also a very pivotal age because I will no longer be a teenager. But I never really thought about being 19 it seems kinda stuck in the middle with no purpose.. But ah ha! Jesus said no no no Sara it is your last year of being a teenager and that in its self is a big thing.. I literally am blown away and just freaked out that it is my last year of being a teenager.. My teenage years flew by and are coming to an end. I have a lot of things that went on in my teenage years. To say I regret some things that happened would not be the right way to describe it. I simply had A LOT of learning experiences and opportunities to gain wisdom from. But looking back at all of it Jesus has had a hand in every situation and he saved me from a lot of crap that I should have had to take on.. Thank GOD for his grace and mercy. He is SUCH a unfathomable God. :D I love that my mistakes are covered by his blood.
Anyways I titled this post as Song of Solomon because God is romancing me.. He told me the other day that he wants me to read SOS everyday and just let him teach me what real love is. So far its only been two days and I am just wowed.. Song of Solomon is such an intense chapter and there really is no way for me to understand it when I think with a worldly mindset. Because Gods love is not of this world. :) Trying to wrap my mind around the thought of Jesus being my lover, my friend, my father, my brother, and so much more is just insanely hard. Only with Him giving me his mind am I able to even sort of understand it. My human mind just does not get it. But he is teaching me more everyday. :)
I really love Song of Solomon 5:1-16.
Lover
1.I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Friends
Eat, O friends, and drink; drink your fill, O lovers.
Beloved
2. I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My lover is knocking: "Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night."
3. I have taken off my robe. must I put it on again? I have washed my feet. Must I soil them again?
4. My lover thrust his hand through the latch-opening; my heart began to pound for him.
5 I arose to open for my lover, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with flowing myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
6. I opened for my lover but my lover had left, he was gone, My heart sank at his departure. I looked for him but did not find him.
7. The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city, They beat me, they bruised me; they took away my cloak, those watchmen of the walls!
8. O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you if you find my lover, what will you tell him? tell him I am faint with love.
Friends
9. How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women? How is your beloved better that others, that you charge us so?
Beloved
10. My lover is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand.
11. His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven.
12. His eyes are like doves by the water streams, washed in milk, mounted like jewels.
13. His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume.
his lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh.
14. His arms are rods of gold set with chrysolite. His body is like polished ivory decorated with sapphires.
15. His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars.
16. His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my lover, my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
<3 Yeah WOW I just love that.. so intense.. so intimate.. Such a love...
.. Sara Cannon :) Gods lover. <3

Febuary 23, 2011
Wow! I cannot believe its already almost March.
I'm blown away at how fast time flies by. Its gonna be a year in May since I've graduated high school.. Thats just Bizarre to me! And only like 47 days until I'm 19.
I feel like the last 7 months have been some of the most amazing months of my entire life. I truly feel alive. Every breath I breathe has purpose. Every step I take has purpose. The difference between walking as a daughter of the most high God and walking as a servant is mind blowing.
Considering I gave my life to God when I was either 4 or 5 and I got baptized in the Holy Spirit when I was 7, I've always known a life with God. And I feel like there was a good portion I did live my life with the reality that I'm a daughter of the most high king. But there is also a large amount of my life that I did not take a hold of this reality. And considering that these mindsets effect everything I do and don't do, I'm extremely thankful that I now have more knowledge about the difference now.
Daughter of the Most High King- When I do the things I do, I do them because I love my Daddy God and I want to bring joy to his heart and love him in everything I do. Knowing that in Jesus I am made perfect as he is perfect.
Servant- I do the things I do out of a religious mindset. Feeling like I have to perform to be good enough, to be accepted. Trying to do things out of my own strength. Heaping condemnation on myself when I don't read my bible enough and just never feeling like I'm good enough. Trying to perfect myself.
Thats two COMPLETELY different ways of living life. And I never thought about the difference much growing up until I came here for this internship at the Dwelling Place. I hadn't fully grasped the idea that I am and will always be a daughter of the most high God and his desire is for me to live as one.
I truly am thankful that this is where Jesus brought me to dwell for the next two years. I have never truly been this happy. I finally feel like I have the ability to live out everything that Jesus is placing in front of me.
I love that I don't feel like I have to perform anymore or hide who I am. And I love knowing that its okay to admit that I'm weak. Because when I am weak he is strong. And thats the best place to be. Relying on Jesus to be my strength in every situation.
I love knowing that my worth is the cross. The cross where Jesus shed his precious blood so that I could be free. I am a princess. A daughter of the most high king. And I deserve the best.
It took a long time to understand that Jesus says that I am beautiful and there is no blemish in me. That he sees me in the spirit. He knows my heart and loves me anyways. He sees who I am in him and not who I am in the flesh. <3 I love that. I am his precious daughter. His bride. I make his heart beat faster just one glance of my eye. He knows every hair thats on my head. He knows every thought I think. He desires to be with me. To have an intimate relationship with me. He loves when I tell him whats on my heart even when he already knows. He loves when I talk to him. He loves how I love him.
I mean to forget this love and to ignore it would be the stupidest thing I could ever do. Why would I ever desire to live without my Jesus. I don't know how I ever tried. He passionately pursues me every second of everyday.
My desire is to please his heart. To love him in every way at all times. To be an example of who he is. To love like he loves..
...They will know us by how we love.. <3

Yum Yum Yum!! :D
An amazing recipe I just created.. :)
1 cup of wacky mac
1/2 cup of frozen pea's and carrots
2 roma tomatos cut up into little cubes
1/2 cup of red onion.
1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese
a handful of fresh spinach
1/2 of an avacado (this is optional if you don't like avacado) :p
1 tablespoon of raw organic coconut butter.
and however much salt and pepper you would desire.
bring a pan of water to a boil and cook the pasta for about five minutes ( i like my pasta still a tad bit firm. you can cook it the suggested amount of time of the package though)
and when the timer gets to 3 minutes add the frozen peas and carrots in with the pasta.
when finished drain and put in a bowl.
now cut up both tomatoes and the red onion and put it in the pan that you cooked the pasta in and turn the stove to about mid heat. then add the tablespoon of coconut butter and some salt and pepper.
Cook it for about 5 minutes and then pour it onto your pasta. then add the shredded cheese and mix it in.Then add the spinach and then for the last step add the avacado on top.
It makes for a delicious very fast, very healthy way to eat pasta. Not to mention all of the colors are really pretty together :D
SOO YUMMMY! :D
Haha I just created this and i thought it was really good. So try it out! :D Let me know what you think! :p oh and this is only a portion for one person. If you want it for more people you can just adjust the amount of ingredients. :p
p.s... JESUS ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF!! :p ... just saying

In the womb
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mothers 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."
Psalm 139:13-16
"The word of the Lord came to me saying, Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
Jeremiah 1:4-5
"Did he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers?"
Job 31:15
"And now the Lord speaks—the one who formed me in my mother’s womb to be his servant,who commissioned me to bring Israel back to him.The Lord has honored me,and my God has given me strength."
Isaiah 49:5
He fashioned me in my mothers womb.
He knew me before I was even in my mothers womb.
He created me in the secret place.
He fashioned me. Fashioned means to give a particular shape or form, to make. Particular means distinguished or different from others or from the ordinary; exceptionally selective, attentive, or exacting.
He took time creating me.
He knows every detail about me.
He is familiar with all of my ways. "You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all of my ways." Psalm 139:3
While I was in Kansas City, MO for the Onething conference this new years God gave me an awesome and breath taking vision.
It was December 31, 2010 just a couple hours away from January 1, 2011 and we were at Onething worshiping together with 30,000 people, and while we were worshiping I felt tired and weak all of the sudden so I laid down on the floor and closed my eyes and I felt like I fell asleep but I wasn't actually asleep because I was still aware of what was going on. And I saw this vision of my daddy God before the world was created and he was sitting in like this carpenters shop sitting at his work table with just one little light on and I saw him painting a masterpiece and it was my eye. He was taking his time to create every little detail of my eye. Then I saw him for me and he was speaking over me all of the things that I would be. The gifts I would have. and Then he breathed life into me and we started singing together.
and then I woke up. It was the most intimate vision I've ever experienced. To see the God of the universe. My daddy, creating me. Fashioning me. And not just poof there is Sara Ashlee Cannon but He took his time to create every intricate detail of who I would be, who I am. I mean if thats not love then I don't know what is. The most beautiful love I've ever known. Purposing me for something bigger then I have yet to know. Giving me destiny. Making me an heir to EVERYTHING that is his. Making me his bride. What a love!!

Jesus is my lover :)
Hahaha Ah how Jesus brings me such joy!
I made dinner tonight for the beautiful people in my Serbia team. :) what a blessing it is to be surrounded by a group of passionate Jesus lovers!!! I enjoyed myself immensely tonight! God makes me laugh.
I'm a very organized person when it comes to things and I like things to be scheduled and just so and God tonight just put me a little off schedule and it was funny. :p He was reminding me that its okay when things don't go exactly perfect. And I also am very performance oriented at times (something God is still helping me get rid of) and tonight I was wanting to impress with my cooking and what not but I ended up burning my main course. HA! I mean it wasn't burned beyond eating but it had a little bit of a burnt taste. But it was still delicious. :p Thank God. But that kinda just made my performance mindset freak out a little bit. But only for a second and then I laughed cause there was God reminding me again that it really didn't matter. That we were just together to fellowship and enjoy getting to know each other. :p I love how God teaches me things with just making dinner. :p and The brownies I made ended up in like a pile of mushyness and there was God reminding me that appearances don't matter :p haha! Cause the brownies were still deliciousness! And I love that its okay to talk about the area's were i'm still weak cause when I am weak then I am strong. In my Jesus :) 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
After we ate we had worship in the living room and while we were worshiping I was thinking about how its just MIND BLOWING to think about the fact that Jesus knew what i'd be doing right now BEFORE the world was created. He knew what I'd do today and he knew what I'd do tomorrow. He has a plan for my everyday. Thats just CRAZY to think about and try to fathom. before the world even existed he KNEW! OH MY GOSH! that literally mind boggles me! God is crazy AWESOME!
And during worship he gave me a vision of my and him in heaven and we were sitting on the ground looking right at each other like with this look in our eyes of intense love for each other and it was like there was a camera recording us and shooting it like in circles it looked like a movie. Like the camera was slowly circling us. haha. Its just awesome to think of Jesus as my lover. Like the thought of how his love is PERFECT! thats just intense. and wow! <3
I'm just in love with Jesus! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Goodnight,

In just the little things :)
I am just so thankful that I have a God that loves me. I love waking up knowing that. Waking up and knowing that no matter what I do in my day that he loves me passionately 100 percent. And it blows my mind to think that even if I was to have no intentions of ever loving him that he would still love me passionately 100 percent. Thats just crazy!!! I mean WOW! haha I can't even began to explain at just how much God blows my mind. I mean I'm still trying to figure out how to try to understand what that means to let God love me. And to love him. I mean I just don't know. I have no words. haha I just ask for wisdom and understanding on how to love a God that loves me with a perfect love.
Today I was about to leave to go to work and as I drove over the train tracks and I was a little past the tracks and I saw the train going by and It just made me smile. Cause I knew I needed to leave a couple minutes earlier than usual but I didn't know why, I just did and it was the Holy Spirit in me urging me to leave so I'd miss the train and not be late to work. I mean just little things like this just make me smile. It may seem like a little thing. But it was a big thing to me. Cause God knows I like to be on time :p I am just thankful that I saw this and could thank him for this "little" thing. Cause It was just another way God shows his passionate unfailing love for me. <3 What a love :)
And today God gave me the opportunity to bless some fellow Christ lovers and it was an awesome feeling. To be able to give all that I had to further the kingdom of God. Expecting nothing in return but really just wanting to bless them. Wanting to obey my daddy and what he told me to do. What you sow you reap. And I want to reap things in heaven. The things that really matter. Jesus blessings :) his kisses.
Freely you receive freely you give. :)
God thank you for your love. Your beautiful love. How I desire to give more. To serve more. To be everything that you have purposed me to be. Teach me how to walk in that. Teach me how to be your living sacrifice willing to lay everything down for the sake of your cross.
Love,

Tofu :p
Tuesday night and I'm sitting at my kitchen table drinking honey vanilla chamomille tea, waiting for my teriyaki tofu with rice, carrots and peas to finish cooking. :) I'm very anxious to see how it turns out.
Had a full day. Class this morning at 7 and then work from 11 till six.
We talked about justice and Gods loving kindness in class this morning. I'm excited to continue to learn about justice. It is a very important thing to understand I think.
Tomorrow starts my search for tires. Considering I know nothing about tires I'm praying the Holy Spirit will guide me. :) I know he will. I am praying and believing that I will find a deal for four tires.
I talked to my boss at the daycare today and she said its possible that this upcoming fall I might be able to have the status of a full time employee, which really excites me!! :D Thank you Jesus for divine appointments and a reliable job! :)
I'M SO BEYOND BLESSED! :D
GOD IS SOOOOOO GOOD TO ME!
Love,

Tires!!
Wow.... just WOW! I am not really sure where to begin. I mean really.
Okay.
So.. I was supposed to go home this weekend for my best friends birthday but I ended up not going because my back left tire kept getting low on air and my check engine light came on and I needed an oil change. And the money that my parents gave me for gas and my babysitting money had to go towards my car. So I went to get my oil changed and got that done. and they said that the check engine light was just a censor problem and that nothing was wrong and they also told me that my front right tire is almost bald and that I need a new one. So I got the oil change done and I did not get anything done with my back left tire but it was just low so I filled it up with air and I didn't get anything done with the front right tire.
So its Sunday and I went to church this morning at 6:45 and left my car there and drove with my team to Big Stone Gap which is 3 hours away and we got back at the church in Christiansburg tonight at about 5:15 and I walked to my car with Emily Rosales and I was about to leave and I noticed that my back left tire was flat. I was like Oh great. So Emily and I walked inside and got Bj Wojo and he jacked my car up and put my spare on. But mind you my spare tire is so bald that its dangerous but it is the only tire that I had.
While Bj was putting my tire on I called my dad and told him and said "I have no money dad" and to that he replied "neither do I" So I said "well what are we going to do?" and He said "we will have no money together" haha to that I said "well dad thats not going to help" and He said " well we can have faith together" So I said "okay" and hung up.
So flash back to last night I was eating dinner with Misty Keene, Emily Rosales and Emily Kugel and I accidentally called my friend Bridgette with my butt. I had my phone in my pocket and it called her. And I did not realize it until It had hung up. and today while Bj was changing my tire she called again but I did not answer because I was talking to Bj while he was changing to my tire. So Bj finished and I said goodbye to him and Emily and drove off and while I was driving out of the church parking lot I called Bridgette back and I was talking to her and I told her what had just happened and she being the amazing woman she is said that she and David are going to bless me with three brand new tires!! Not used ones! NEW ONES! I was bawling like a baby! GOD LOVES ME SO MUCH! Not only did he fill my need right away! BUT he gave me the BEST not just good! WHAT A LOVE!
Oh my gosh I was screaming and crying and laughing. I am just so in awe. I just hope that whoever reads this will be encouraged because sometimes its hard out there and you know what God loves us and gives us the BEST! Not second best! And he NEVER fails! NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER!
So don't be discouraged in whatever you are facing God WILL come through. HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU OUT IN THE COLD! I mean we are his kids for goodness sake!!! He LOVES US PASSIONATELY BEYOND OUR COMPREHENSION! WOW! Eat that for dinner!!! :D
"He is my loving God and my fortress, my stronghold and my DELIVERER, my shield, in whom I take refuge, who subdues peoples under me." Psalm 144:2
"Then you will call and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say " Here I am".
Isaiah 58:9 <3 WHAT A LOVE! <3
now to bed I go.. :)
Goodnight brothers and sisters!

Living Sacrifice
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer you bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Romans 12:1-2
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
Ephesians 5:1-2
Saturday morning. what a beautiful day. The sun is shining and I got to sleep in. Haha. It's finally getting warmer. THANK GOD. :p I mean 40 isn't warm but its like a heat stroke compared to the teens.
I'm not sure what today will bring. Woke up this morning and called my Lizzy. I can't believe she's 16 today. So bizarre. I'm so beyond blessed that I have a friend like her. I'm so blessed that we've been best friends for 5 years now. Through thick and thin. We've had some pretty rough times and our lives and she's always stuck with me. She is truly a true friend. My sister.
I'm finally learning guitar. After wanting to learn for years and years. I had my first official lesson last night. My fingers hurt. But I am more than willing to play with the pain. The reward of being able to play will be worth it. :) I love music. Especially the guitar. Its like when I hear the guitar I just stop. Its so beautiful. I'm so thankful that God created music. What a gift!
I feel like there is a song right on the tip of my tongue. But its not coming out yet. I suppose there is still something I need to learn before it comes out. I love writing music.
I am starting to identify a place in my heart that I have a lie hidden about Gods love. I mean he is everything good. His love is not tyrannical. It is just. But it is kind and compassionate and beautiful. I need to fear him but not in a way of he'll punish me if I don't read a certain amount of my bible each day.
Why do I feel that way sometimes. Devil get out of my thoughts. My daddy God is my love, my prince charming, my everything. He is not a dictator. He loves me. He passionately loves me. ME. and my actions don't, DON'T! Change how he loves me. Actions bad or good. They don't EVER change his love for me. He will ALWAYS passionately love me. ALWAYS! He loves me 100% all the time!
His love is deep.
The other night I was at prayer at the church and it was Josh Q, Josh L, Emily R, Amanda, Elizabeth, Brad, Phil, Allison, Caleb, Milena, Teri, Andrew, and we started praying over each other and man how God fell. We were literally high on God. It was crazy. We were just gone. I think we laid on the floor for like an hour just randomly laughing and playing on Gods playground. It was so beautiful. I don't know if I've ever felt like that before. Just so full. I kept getting prophetic words for people and thats crazy in itself because I stopped walking in that for so long and the past month he's been teaching me how to walk out in it again. Its amazing. I love Jesus.

Doesn't take much..
Haha Doesn't take much at all to remind me how much I don't miss the things of this world. God is so good to me. I'm so thankful that he loves me enough to make me new and renew my mind. The things of this world(a.k.a not the physical world but the devil stuff) just make me wanna vomit.. It hurts my spirit to even see them..
God I just want all of you and nothing else.
love,
Sara :)

January 10th, 2011
Hmm.. How blessed I feel to have a God who's love for me is incredibly and undeniably real. Real. True. Never hiding or keeping back anything. In this world where so many things are fake, having Gods love that is NEVER fake is so extremely comforting. Everyday I wake up I can just say his name and know that he's snuggling in my bed right there with me. His arms are wrapped around me. His love consumes everything I am. And no matter where I go in my day, work, class, etc.. He is right there by my side holding my hand. Through thick and thin. Ups and downs. I mean its honestly hard to fathom and even began to really try to wrap my mind around that. A never ending, always faithful, unselfish love. Everyday I think about that and my mind just gets blown over and over again. It just never ends. I'm so in awe of my God. My daddy. My lover. My best friend. My everything. I mean i'd like to say that i've gotten farther than that with God but I mean I just keep coming back to this. A NEVER ENDING UNCONDITIONAL LOVE! Wow! Just WOW! That is enough to never be bored. I mean think about it. I don't know one single person on this whole earth that has that kinda love. Its just bizarre. Yet beyond beautiful, breath taking. God literally takes my breath away....
His love is so intoxicating. So consuming. So free. So sustaining. Can I get and Amen??!!?!?
I feel like a lovesick puppy. haha. But what a beautiful place to be.
To be brought to my knees at the thought of how human love pales in comparison to Gods love.
We don't know what love is until we fully grasp God. I mean since God is love right?
I set out to write this blog about my day but God had different plans in mind.
He loves when we love him. He loves how I love him.
What a beautiful God I serve..
Goodnight..

Who is Sara Ashlee Cannon?
In faith and in Jesus, I am a perfect, holy, pure, living example of Jesus Christ. I am patient, I am kind, I do not envy, I do not boast, I am not proud, I am not rude, I am no self seeking, I am not easily angered. I do not delight in evil but I rejoice in the truth. I always protect, always trust, always hope, always persevere. I never fail.
In the eyes of man I could be considered many things, a liar, a cheater, a fake, a hypocrite, and etc. But Jesus says he see's me in faith and that we ought to see each other in faith knowing that the old has passed away and behold we are new in our daddy Jesus. (Isaiah 43:18-19) Thank you God for grace and perfect love.
I love that God made me a new perfect, holy, pure, living example of Jesus Christ so that I don't have to live according to my sinful flesh anymore.
Thats a much better way to live life. With a positive outlook on who I am. Knowing that I am a daughter of the most high God and I can and will overcome this world. Amen!
