Hi! I’m Sara Lyn Baril. I’m a wife, mother of five wonderful kids and a night owl songwriter.

Welcome to my blog, To Lift and Inspire!

I started this blog as a way to share a little bit about my music (stories behind my songs, specifically) as well as a place to share my thoughts and feelings about gospel topics, and anything else I come across that’s uplifting and inspiring…even recipes!

I believe that the world is craving goodness and light. To Lift and Inspire is a place I hope to share light and help lead others to Christ through my testimony and thoughts. One of my goals has always been to share testimony of Him. The world needs more peace and more light, and I want to do my part to share that.

I’ve always enjoyed a good conference talk, a quote that inspires me to be a little better and do a little more, and these things give me great stuff to write songs about too. I still have a ratty old binder full of handouts from church from when I was a youth, and each one of these things reminds me of a lesson I have learned and gives me warm thoughts about the person who taught it to me. I hope to pass along some of those things that have taught me so much!

I hope that while you’re here, you’ll enjoy the blog articles (and please comment so we can learn from each other!), that you’ll find new music for your playlists and home, and discover new ideas on how to inspire others…but most of all, I hope you come away from this site being uplifted in some way!

THANK YOU FOR VISITING!
