Welcome

Hello,
I am Sarah Kerby and I welcome you to my blog where you can find out all there is to know about me. In the pages of this blog you will find detailed information about me including my skills, gifts, experiences, dreams, and the theology by which I live my life. Before you take that dive though, allow me to give an overview of who I am and where I come from. 

I was raised in a Christian home in Dallas, Texas surrounded by my mom, dad, three brothers, and three sisters. I was home schooled from pre-school through 12th grade. Beginning in 7th grade I began taking a class at Quo Vadis, a home school co-op, and that class (and the class I took the following year) prepared me for college. I began taking college classes in 9th grade through a dual enrollment program. When I graduated high school two years later (somewhere in there I "skipped" a grade) I had 30 college credits. After graduating, I began attending Criswell College. I am currently studying there to obtain my Bachelor degree in Biblical Studies with a minor in Student Ministry and a minor in Christian Education. I am on schedule to graduate in May 2012. 

My future plans consist of being a faithful, godly, and supportive wife to my husband of one year. I desire to follow him in whatever God calls us to do whether that be leading a secular business or leading a church in pastoral ministry. I also desire to be a stay-at-home mother and to raise and educate our children in light of the Word of God. I truly believe that motherhood is a calling and ministry within itself. I believe that God has called me to give my life to my husband and children and do my part in standing up for the sanctity of marriage, family, and life by being a faithful wife and a caring, devoted mother. I hope to pass on these values to my children and they, in turn, will pass them on to their children and so forth. Above all else, I hope to live a life pleasing to God.

As of September 2010, my husband and I are expecting our first child. We are so thankful for this gift from God and the new journey we are now on. A friend of mine said it best: "Your journey with Jesus has moved to a new place." 

I hope you enjoy perusing these pages and I hope that you find that, though I try not to wear my heart on my sleeve, I am transparent and honest. 

God bless,
Sarah Kerby
