it took me a solid three weeks to form this blog post, and it's been a while since i wrote a new one. so, hi, in case you've forgotten, my name is Sara Beth, and i'm a writer. this is my blog.
originally, this post was going to be about going back to highland retreat for the day. as i walked through highland property, i reflected on the experiences i had working as an sit there this summer. i was reminded that even the little things matter, like the conversations sitting around the campfire from worship, or walking to the bathhouse in the dark and seeing all the stars glimmering against the black sky, or throwing frogs onto the roof of the pool house. i was reminded of all the great experiences i had over the summer, and how much i wanted to go back. but, i just couldn't find the time to sit down and put my thoughts onto a blank page. to remind other people to not forget the little things. as i continued to think about what i would write, a series of events took place. although i won't go into detail, i was reminded of how importance waiting is. i am 100% sure i have written about this before, but sure, it doesn't hurt to have a reminder. i read my devotionals, and prayed, and the words that came to me from various places were "wait. jesus has a plan for you. be patient. have patience. learn patience." it is so important to wait for the right time, the right person. many times, we don't wait. my first relationship ended up a mess, and i was left in a bad place after that. we focus so much on being in the moment that we don't stop to think about what jesus wants for us, and to ask him if this is what he wants. if this is part of his plan. even though it may not seem like he's listening (and trust me, i've been there. i've done that), he has a person picked out for you to spend eternity with. you may have to fly to the other side of the world to get to them, but trust me, they're there. you just have to wait.
