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

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!!
