Committing our daily promise to God

How we can help our fellow brothers and sisters

Committing our daily promise to God

This week, I wanted to take an opportunity to really talk about something important. This is something that I truly feel is not really brought up in conversation. And that is, being there for someone when they need you and how that can affect your relationship with God.

We are all emotional human beings, no one can deny that, right? So, with that being said, if your friend, or relative or someone you are close with, is asking you for some extra love and support, be that extra shoulder they can lean on. Because, when you are that extra shoulder or that one person everyone can count on for a conversation or just some support or advice, then ultimalety, you are echoing what god wants us to do for one another. And that is, sharing some sacrificial love and shining the light of hope, peace and joy, so we can all strive to be who God wants us to be as human beings on the earth he created for us.

God loves everyone and he wants us to be successful, and whithout us being there for one another, this can not be possible. When we take a step closer towards humanity, we are taking one step closer to God.

Many of us don't realize this, but we are made to be humanitarians and children to God. We must serve him and make him feel like he fulfilled his purpose in creating us all.

You know, I ask myself and I'm sure most of us ask the same questions numerous amounts of times, Why do I have a feeling of loneliness inside of me? How can I be the person God made me to be? Can I commit myself to loving myself, and others equally? Why does everything have to be a process?

Well, for most of those questions, the answers are simple, the only one who can control your actions and feelings are yourself. But, when you need help, there are plenty of resources there for you. I have learned that myself, I feel blessed and thankful that I have so many people that I value and trust with my thoughts and emotions. And that it is OK to ask for help!

So, my point is, make yourself available to others. I remember writing about this in one of my very first articles, helping someone can truly make you feel better about yourself and the person who benefited from your support. My friends and family know, I'm here for them and the feeling is mutual for when I need them too.

In the end, making someone's day brighter can help make your own day brighter as well. And let us hope and pray for those who need help that they get the love, strength and mercy of God, now and always!

Thanks be to God and may God bless you all!

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. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
