12 Bible Verses To Live By
Hanging Out and Hanging In

Life is known for being a rollercoaster of emotions and events. Sometimes, we are on the top of the world and feel like nothing could bring us down. Other times, we wonder how can it possibly get any worse. Even though life is full of surprises, here are some bible verses to get us through the rough times.

This is my own personal verse: the one I go to when life gives me a lot of difficult problems. We all go through difficult times, but we always need to remind ourselves that we are not alone in our situations.

1. Joshua 1:9

In life, we can become afraid of the unknown. But in these times, we need to remember that our God is bigger than our problems and fears.

2. Deuteronomy 7:21

Worrying does nothing but steal our happiness and joy. By worrying, we cannot change the outcome. Therefore, instead of worrying, we should pray; praying reminds us that God is in control at all times. No matter what happens, God's got it under control.

3. Philippians 4:6

For the same reason, we cannot worry about what tomorrow brings but rather focus on the issues at hand. Take each day at a time and trust God with His plan.

4. Matthew 6:34

God makes ALL things work for the good of people who have been called. During the good times, it is easy to see how God makes things work for our benefit. The difficult times is when it can be impossible to understand how it is going to help us later on. However, it will. Maybe not at that moment, but in the future, God may have something better planned.

5. Romans 8:28

God is with us always and no matter what we do, God will always love us. No matter where we go, God is with us. We could be the worst sinner in the world, but He still loves us.

6. Romans 8:38-39

The world tells us to be something other than what we are called to be. We live in a world plagued with sin and temptations. It can be so easy to fall into these temptations. But God warns us against this and to follow His plan. This is never easy, but it will lead to great reward in heaven.

7. Romans 12:2

In difficult times, we should turn to God. Sometimes we do not understand why things happen, but we should rely on God. Be calmed by His presence and trust Him.

8. Psalm 62:1-2

God's strength is infinite. He can get us through any difficult situation and by relying on his strength, we too can be strong.

9. Isaiah 40:31

Our current circumstances may not be good, but there is going to be something better. When we have hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

10. Romans 8:18

Nothing is impossible with God. Our God is an all-powerful God who can do anything.

11. Philippians 4:13

God's plan may not make sense in the moment, but He is not here to punish us. He loves us and knows what is best for us.

12. Jeremiah 29:11

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
