God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things

Those things are for the best.

God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things
Jenny Davis

When I first started college, I thought that everything was going to go my way and that I would graduate as a teacher four years later. Well, I guess God had a different plan for me and for my life. Plans that include me, in the middle of my sophomore year, changing my major. I realized through the decision process that I just needed to let go and to let God. I know, I know, people say that all the time, most of the time people just go on about their business. However, if you really do let go and let God, your life will change for the better and here are a few reasons why.

It feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders

Last year, I thought my I had my plan all figured out but this semester, I felt a calling to change my major. A calling to change my major from Special Education to Christian Ministries. I have truly had a weight lifted off my shoulders when I finally took a leap of faith and talked to people about what I was feeling. A few friends have also told me that they have heard me talk more passionately about serving the Lord through teaching about him here and anywhere than they have ever heard me talk about education. After praying and seeking the Lord's guidance over the past few months, officially changing my major is making me so much more happy about what God is doing in my life!

Your life will change for the best and you will have a better relationship with God

Over the course of praying and seeking guidance, I have become more confident in myself. I have learned that if I want something, I need to pray and see if that is Gods plan for my life, and if it is, He will sure as the world tell me. My life, since I have first started this journey has definitely changed, and I am so glad that it has. I have great friends that support me in everything that I choose to do, and I am forever grateful that I have them in my life!

Your life will have more purpose

Before you even become part of God's kingdom, your life already has a purpose; but, when you become saved, and start doing the things that he tells you. Your life will become better than it ever has been. I would not change anything that I went through while going through this part of my life as Gods daughter. I am forever thankful that I have changed my major, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
