Throughout my junior year of high school i have had to do a lot of thinking, praying, and traveling to determine a home for the next four(+) years. Conway holds a very special place in my heart because of the energy and refreshing social life found in a small city. To be quite honest, there's been a lot of schools i've looked at. Private universities, state universitities, art schools, out of state schools, ivy league, and even schools out of the country. So why do i have my heart set on a school 3 maybe 4 hours away. I have the heart of an adventurer, so it came as a shock to me when something about Conway started to feel right. For starters they have probably the best physical therapy program in the state. They even have the actual school there!!! Downtown conway makes my heart very happy. Coffee shops, candy stores, boutiques, I fell in love. Getting accepted into my dream school has allowed for me to relax a little more during this stressful year. Although I love northwest Arkansas and have basically grown up cheering on the hogs in razorback apparel, I'm ready for a healthy change. See you next fall UCA.

Picture taken by Kelsey comer photography. Lately I've felt the need to resume my blogging and this time make it public!!! So here i am. Hi, i'm Sarah. Sometimes called Sarahbeth, mostly called SB. I love the ocean. I love to hike. I love outdoorsy things and i love spending time with people whose intentions are pure. I love Jesus, like a whole lot. I love to write, but not the type of writing you have to do in English class. This blog is dedicated to new beginnings.
Its been on my heart a lot lately. I am a very stubborn person, and i like to believe that its not an entirely bad thing. Its pretty great actually because when i put my mind to something i want i do everything possible to get there- even if its not what God wants for me. Many of you know that in september i got hurt pretty severely playing volleyball. In November i had a labrum repair surgery and i was devastated. I had been working towards a volleyball scholarship since age 12. I had been starting varsity at Springdale for the 2nd year and i really REALLY wanted to get a volleyball scholarship. I liked to pretend that i knew what i wanted to do but the brutal truth was i thought id just figure it out later. I wanted to play volleyball. There is nothing more frustrating than having to sit out and watch the games and practices of the sport you love without being able to participate. I hated the pt and i was pretty angry at God for this. When i was post surgergy i was going to pt 3 times a week for about 4 months. I actually started to look forward to it because it was becoming a job shadowing event for me. I saw talented doctors helping the broken to feel better. They talked to their patients and would make them feel better at a time when they were in a lot of pain. I had been praying a lot about what God's plans were for me after high school. Little did i know his plan for me was right in front of my eyes. I always thought that i would become a surgeon or maybe a dental hygienist but Gods plan is so much more. Let me tell you, I've struggled quite a bit with trusting his plan but man, now that I have become less and let him take over my life seems to be more put together than ever.
Verses- " For he must become greater and I must become less" John 3:30 " Perhaps this is the moment for which you have been created for " Esther 4:14 "God promises to bring something good out of the storms that are bringing devastation to your life " Romans 1:28 |
