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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
