7 Motivational Scriptures

GO-TEAM- GO!!! We all love cheering for a famous athlete or for our favorite sports team in a competition setting, don’t we?

As Christians, though, it is even more important to dedicate any athletic activities to the Lord. Praying and reading Scripture should always be a part of all of our activities, especially if we want blessings and protection. So my top 7 Bible verses to say or read before a game or sporting event are as follows:


1. Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the Lord, your God, who marches with you; he will never fail you or forsake you."


2. Psalms 37:5

"Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will act."


3. Philippians 4:13

"I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me."


4. Ephesians 6:13

"Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground."


5. 2 Timothy 2:5

"Similarly, an athlete cannot receive the winner’s crown except by competing according to the rules."


6. Phillipians 3:14

"I continue my pursuit toward the goal, the prize of God’s upward calling, in Christ Jesus."


7. Hebrews 12:1

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
