We Must Earnestly Seek In Order To Receive

Other people can give good advice, but you have to devote the time yourself to get the answers that you are after.

We Must Earnestly Seek In Order To Receive

There is a world full of things that we are unsure about. For many people, these things are spiritual questions. And even though we do not know, we can do one thing to change that.

We must earnestly seek after the questions that we ask about God. You cannot simply google the answer or just open the bible to take a look. It involves a lot of praying and time devoted to the scriptures.

For me personally, there have been a variety of things that I questioned about God. My head would spin with a million questions and I thought about them quite often. I did try googling what other people had said, but that only opened up even more questions for me to wonder about. You can never rely on what other people tell you because they may have a different point of view than you or just plain get the answer wrong. I also tried to just find a specific verse to answer my question. Sometimes you can find the answer like that but not always. God wants you to seek him and chase after him to really get to know him. Scripture says to, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." God also has said that, "you will seek me and find me, whenever you seek me with all your heart."

There are spiritual questions that we do not know in this world. Some of them we may never know while we are here. You have to earnestly seek after him and not worry about what other people are saying. Other people can give good advice, but you have to devote the time yourself to get the answers that you are after.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
