To The One I Will Marry

You’ve done it. You captured my heart. I have thought so long and hard about the man you would be. The man who would one day ask my dad for my hand, and the man I would run away with. I have prayed for you since I was a little girl. I pray now that you will be loved the way God desires you to be loved. I pray that I will let your heart run wild; that I will be vulnerable enough for you to unveil my beauty. I pray every day that I will be kind, quiet, and faithful to you always; faithful in every way. I will be there for you through the good times and the bad, the happy and the sad. No matter what the occasion, I will stand by your side with a smile because you, simply, are enough.” When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case. I could offer you a warm embrace to make you feel my love.”-Adele “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor other, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delights in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 I have worked hard to prepare my heart to love the way that God designs love to be, and I have wondered who would be the person to receive my love.

When you get on one knee

Know that I have waited for you my whole life. I have hoped that this would happen since you first swept me off my feet. I trust with my heart that you have made this decision knowing God has approved us spending the rest of our lives together. When you ask me to marry you, you ask for every part of me… the messy hair, loud laugh, and obsession with Netflix. But you also marry the girl who runs for God, the one who adores you more than you will ever know. “I could make you happy, make your dreams come true. Nothing that I wouldn’t do, go to the ends of the earth for you. To make you feel my love.” -Adele

Happily Ever After

It wont be easy and it may not be fun at times but it’ll be our happily ever after. You will be my world. You will be my rock and my comfort. I pray for this time, for our future. I pray that it will be full of laughter and love, of prayer and commitment. I pray that God prepares my heart for this time; that I will be able to love you unconditionally as long as I live. I pray that He continually melts my heart when I see you. I pray that we are blessed in every way. That my breath is still taken away when you kiss me. I pray that no matter what, you are ready for anything He brings. I ask that you will be led by Him and we, your family, will follow.

I promise to love you with every breath I take. I promise to give you my all in every aspect of my life. I promise to give you the fullest life I can. I promise to be your forever.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
