Sarah’s words are meaningful- I think that’s the first thing I can say about her. In one of our first conversations she told me about her idea of quiet confidence – I’ve repeated that phrase so many times since that day because I loved the beautiful image of humility and love that it painted. Sarah is wise, and she understands life in a deep way that inspired me on day one. Sarah was one of the people I wanted to get to know the most on my Jamaica trip this year, and I am so thankful I did. She is kind, compassionate, hilarious, and valuable.
These are some of the most uncertain times we’ve ever experienced. As someone who has her schedule planned out on her Google Calendar months in advance, I have really been struggling with the inability to make future plans. With the developments happening so quickly, we can’t really know what will happen tomorrow in the world, much less next week. And while of course that is true regardless of the circumstances of the world, times like these are humbling to remind us how much is really out of our control. Living day by day and relinquishing control are things that I’ve never felt comfortable doing. But in this time in my life, I really feel God calling me to embrace the uncertainty and use it to draw closer to Him and to trust in the promises He has given us. Without the hindrances of over-scheduling and distractions, I can hear His voice clearly – and it is peaceful and comforting. I have new confidence to trust God with the time I have today. I know that He has given us an opportunity to slow down, find rest, clear out all the voices and distractions fighting for our attention, and focus on Him, and for that I am grateful. It isn’t easy, but opening myself up to be receptive to His will has already grown my faith. In trusting in the fact that I can’t control tomorrow, I can live more presently and purposefully today, eager to receive all that He has in store for me.
