How Big Is Your God?

Trusting God, even when it is hard.

How Big Is Your God?
Sydney Roudabush

If you are anything like me, you have hit the point in the semester where you are drained. Your motivation is harder to find, you seem to need more naps in the day, and you are easily discouraged. Your daily struggles seem to consume your mind and you are left overwhelmed with everything you need to do. You feel lost and not quite for sure how you will make it through! I challenge you to ask yourself one simple question: How Big Is Your God? Are you letting God consume every part of your day or are you keeping him in a little box? God wants to fill you with so much joy, strength, and peace that only he can provide, but we have to let him do it. God is so big that he can help you through any struggle you are facing, change the hardest of hearts, or fix any situation that seems unfixable. God desires to be your everything and be your delight.

So, how big is your God? Do you trust him in every aspect of your life? Are you walking by faith on a daily basis knowing that God has already got it already figured out? I know it sounds scary, but when we let God be big in our life he will do big things.

So as you finish out the last few weeks of this semester, press into God and his overflowing love for you, knowing that he will not let you fall. God is for you, not against you and he will be as big in your life, as you let him...he's waiting with open arms!

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.
