All It Takes Is A Little Faith

Choose Him.

All it takes is a little faith to move a mountain.

This one is for the people who just don't know.

This one is for the people who don't have any answers.

This one is for the person who has faith, despite the bad news.

I listened on the radio to a song called "Even If" by MercyMe. Listen to it. Like right now. It will change you. I balled my eyes out from beginning to end. There is a line that says, "They say it only takes a little faith to move a mountain. Well, good thing a little faith is all I have." It summed me up and I know it sums most of you all up, too.

If there is anything life has taught me over the past year is that this world is not for you. This world is not Team *insert your name*. This world wants you to fall down. This world is of the devil.

But also, this past year has taught me that my God is for me. My God is Team Sydney. My God is for me.

I have learned that the saying "someone always has it worse then you" does not help anything. I have learned that life doesn't give you lemons all the time, nor does it give you what you want. I have had to swallow pride on many occasions.

But, I have also learned that God is faithful through it all. That even though I kick, scream, yell, and pitch a fit, He still holds me tight as ever. That even as I type this, He is reminding me of His promises and that I need to hold on to them.

This life was never meant to be our happy life. Heaven is meant for that. We were made for eternity. We were made to give glory to the Kingdom and then go home. Heartbreak and pain are just small steps towards the final destination.

But, we are human. We doubt that. We want happiness here on Earth. We want what we want. We want to be rewarded. I am just here to tell you that if you fill your brain with the things of this world, you will constantly be disappointed. You will always be let down. You will never be able to find the light at the end of the tunnel. You will never be satisfied. Jesus is the only thing/person that will ever be able to do that.

Choose Him today. All it takes is a little faith.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
