Find Comfort Here

Be comforted knowing, that while the world is in chaos of the unknown, your Father in heaven knows everything.

Isn't it comforting knowing that we are not in control? There is no need for worrying.The same God who created you is in control right now. His timing is not ours. He has been patient with us.. the least we could do is be patient for what He will reveal.


My reading this morning comes from Genesis 1. If you read the first and last verse of this particular chapter, I pray you will find much comfort as I did!


Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.


Genesis 1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning - the sixth day.


There were no mistakes in what God made.

He made every creature, the seas, the sun, moon, and stars.

He made you.

The coolest thought is that He knew you then, before the beginning of the earth!

Our creator did not look at you and say "they need ________" or "they should do ____ to be more lovable".

He did not make you like anyone else, because He wanted one of you!

Friends, God made you all! So special and unique, made in His image (Gen. 1:26-27)!!


Now is the time to come to your Father, your Creator, and rest in His desires for you! Be comforted knowing, that while the world is in chaos of the unknown, your Father in heaven knows everything. He knows the exact moment this virus, COVID-19, was formed. He knows the exact moment we will return to work. He knows everything, because He is God! All you have to do is listen to His direction, obey, and let Him lead you each day.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

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?
