10 Things to Inspire You This Semester

Sometimes we all need a little motivation, a little inspiration, a little strength, hope, comfort, and most importantly, love.

10 Things to Inspire You This Semester

Sometimes, you just feel like everything is going wrong. Literally. Nothing is going right. And sometimes you just need a little pick me up. I know I do, anyways.

1. Jeremiah 29:11

This Bible verse is AWESOME. It's pretty comforting to know that God has a plan for you and that in the end everything will work out.

2. Psalm 23

If you ever feel alone or afraid or worried, just remember one thing. Remember Psalm 23. God will always be with you no matter what situation and he will protect you from everything.

3. Psalm 138


Yep, that's right. When you are stressing out over a final or you just feel weak and worthless, look to God for strength. Ask for help and you'll get it from God.

4. Isaiah 40

Even Cinderella said, "Have courage and be kind". If you have hope in the Lord and faith, he will always guide you and help you through everything.

5. Joshua 1:9

If you have faith and love God, you will never be alone. Ever. Not even when you make what you think is the biggest mistake of your life. Not when you fail a test, not when you sleep through class. He has plans for you. If God wants something to happen, he will make it happen. Sometimes, it just takes a little faith and a different perspective.

6. Isaiah 58:9

Sometimes, things do not exactly go as you intended. In fact, sometimes they are completely the opposite of your plans. It's okay, though. It happens. Sometimes you feel like you did everything wrong and that you're completely alone. Just remember that you are not alone. Remember that you are human and people make mistakes. Remember that God will always be there to pick you up when you fall.

7. Peter 5:10

Once you've hit rock bottom, sometimes it seems like you'll never be able to resurface or recover. It is in those times that you have to have faith and trust in God. He will help you to recover and resurface. And eventually, everything will be okay again.

8. Philippians 4:7

There is no need for you to worry or be afraid. You know why? Because being afraid and worrying are a waste of time. Instead, just say a prayer or two. God will always protect your heart and guide you on the path that he intends.

9. John 16:33

If you're ever stressed out, just remember that God has overcome the world. He has done amazing great things. That test next week? It's NOTHING compared to the miracles that God has performed. And you have nothing to worry about because he'll be by your side for everything.

And of course, how could we forget,

10. John3:16

Did I even need an artsy picture for this one? Probably not. Most people, Christian or not, have heard of John 3:16. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life". If all else fails, just remember this one. God loves us so much that he gave up his one and only son, his only child. Someone out there (God) loves you.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
