It's the Little Things That Make a Huge Difference

When you hear the word Christ-like character, what do you think of? Someone that loves Jesus with all their heart, someone that reads their Bible all the time, someone that prays all the time, someone that goes to church all the time, etc. Well, all those things are examples of Christ-like character, and they are all great examples of it too. But, it does not have to be that noticeable all the time. Some of the little daily things that we do would be considered Christ-like character, and you probably do not even know it.

As a Christian I am constantly striving to be more like Christ everyday, I mean that is what the Bible tells us to do. A lot of Christians try to be more like Christ, but just as much as we try, we also fail too. Sometimes you have a really bad day and just want to be left alone, sometimes someone makes you mad and you want nothing to do with them that day, or maybe you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and you just are not yourself. When those times come, trust me I know it is hard to have Christ-like character. Typically in those times I just have to stop and think about what the issue is, and then once I narrow it down I stop and pray. I ask God to help me with the difficult day that I am having and ask him to help me be more positive and be a light for him. Just stopping and praying to God, and asking him to help you throughout your day is having Christ-like character.

God knows we are not perfect, I mean he is the one who made every single person, and he did not make anyone perfect. I mean we are not all geniuses, or athletes, or preachers, or teachers or whatever other talents there are. And we are going to make mistakes, I mean the only perfect person is God himself. But, even though we are not perfect, as followers of Jesus we should always try and have more Christ-like character. Like I said they do not all have to be very obvious, some small simple everyday things are all great examples of Christ-like character. For example, just smiling at someone, or telling someone hello, or asking someone how their day is going, giving someone a shoulder to cry on, giving a listening ear to someone who needs to just talk for a minute, giving someone a hug, or just sending a very nice encouraging text.

These are all excellent ways to show Christ-like character, but these things can also just be normal everyday habits. But even the littlest bit of Christ-like character shown can make a huge difference in someone's life. It is the little things that make a huge difference.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
