Hi I'm Sarah! I recently spent a year in Australia working on my songwriting skilllllllz and pretending like I can surf ....and pretending like I can tan. (as we Seattlites do) I came back with pockets full of songs but nothing to do with them... ​ Shortly after being back in Seattle with friends and family, continuing to help out my church, and playing an open mic here and there, we found out the Pastor and Founder of Destiny Orphanage in Uganda, Africa, tragically passed. Now let me tell you a little about Destiny orphanage...it is the home and hope of over 1500 children in Uganda, Africa. Yes, 1500. An unimaginable number, but each with a name, a face, and a dream to do something meaningful with their lives. My friends and I had the opportunity in 2008 to visit and help bring them new shoes, uniforms and beds. We heard their names, kissed their faces, saw their radiant smiles, and listened to their songs. It was truly life changing to encounter these children, in bare circumstances yet filled with strong faith and a permeating hope for their own future. Pastor John Michael was the orphanage founder, as well as the spokesperson who would travel and raise support for the children at Destiny. We knew his shoes were too big for a single person to fill, especially as the number of orphans continues to climb. So....we all searched our pockets to find what we can give... and I found these songs.  And thankfully some friends too!! ...actually...not in my pockets... those would be very, very small friends....  But, I started asking around and THESE were the ones with the golden hearts willing to give their time and to put in the work...
