I Don’t Blame God

“God has never stopped being good, we’ve just stopped being grateful”

I Don’t Blame God
http://mulpix.com/

When something awful happens to us, and our lives take a sharp turn for the worst, the first thing many of us are guilty of is blaming God. You may ask yourself why. Why did He allow that to happen to me? Why did He cause such pain and suffering? What did I do to deserve this? So often, we stay angry at God for hurting us and never see all the wonderful and amazing things that He has done for us. In these situations, it is easier to blame God than to thankGod, but why would you blame God?

God has created such goodness in the world. Why is that not celebrated enough? He created laughter and love. It is because of Him that we have hope and passion. He created the highest mountains, the most beautiful beaches, and the most gorgeous, magnificent views. He created so many places that we are in awe of. He created those masterpieces just for us.

He has placed so many people in our lives that have touched our hearts different ways. He has given us the ability to believe; to believe in His goodness, to believe in the goodness of the world and to believe in ourselves. Most importantly, He has given us the ability to be human and still be saved by Him. We can make mistakes and still be forgiven by Him. We can come to Him, sin and all, and still be loved unconditionally, without limits. He has done so much for us.

There is evil in the world. You could not believe in God without believing in the devil. But with that illness of evil comes goodness from God. There is charity, compassion and love.

We are allowed to be sad and angry about a certain situation. However, instead of blaming God, pray for Him to give you peace within yourself about the situation; Ask Him for the ability to grow stronger from the circumstance.

Do not let a bad situation change your heart for God. Instead, grow with God and allow Him to lead you to His plan that is catered to you. God has created you for a purpose. He has given us so many blessings and so many things to be thankful for -- you just have to open your heart to Him.

“God is light. In Him there is no darkness.” 1 John 1:5

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.
