goodbye world.

So maybe my title is a bit dramatic.

Maybe it should say goodbye facebook world.

I like to be dramatic though.

And I'm only saying goodbye for a short time

(at least I think).

God is calling me out of my comfort zone.

My comfort zone has always been on the stage.

With a microphone.

It feels like my home.

Where I belong.

On Sunday as we gathered with our church family to worship,

my heart ached to be on that stage leading.

But God said, 

"not right now, Sarah."

*sob*

Instead he is calling me to the most uncomfortable thing I can imagine.

SILENCE.

Just looking at that word sends a mild panic attack through my body.

Silence is so boring.

It's lonely.

Did I say boring?

I like fun!

I like parties!

And dancing!

And silliness!

I like small talk and chit chat!

I like updating my status and interacting with you all!

But alas.

God is asking me to retreat into solitude.

I think this will truly be one of my greatest tests!

It may be one of Andy's too since he'll have to hear all of the things I usually share with you!

I'll leave my page up for a week so you can all digest this shocking news.

Or because I'm just not quite ready and I'm stalling...

I plan to be logged off until after Christmas.

So. Here are a few things I would have probably shared if I was on facebook:

*We are hosting thanksgiving in one hour and I'm still in my pajamas!

(oh wait. that was my status last thanksgiving.)

*10 years ago today our beautiful daughter was born. Where has the time gone?

Happy Birthday Sophie!

   ~insert adorable photo~

*Great night at the gym flipping some tires and doing some pushups!

 ~insert badass photo of myself~

*Photo of our Christmas tree

oh that reminds me...

*For the sake of our new simple life we will not be doing Christmas cards this year so:

Merry Christmas from The Bylers!

I think that covers the major events.

Although I'm hesitant and afraid

I know the Lord only wants the absolute best for me.

There is a reason behind of all of this and I know it is good.

Because my God is good.

I'm excited to see whatever it is he wants to show me.

So long my friends!

Well...in a week....
