Finding God In My Season Of Singleness

Lately, I have been focused a lot on my singleness. I have a lot of friends who are in relationships and so I have been feeling kind of frustrated because I have never dated. Now that I am in my 20s I have noticed myself becoming a lot more focused on it. I feel like a lot is going to change in my twenties, and that's also when people typically get married. I know that there is not really a timeline for marriage, but when friends everywhere are dating and getting engaged, I start to question if I will ever find someone for me.

I try to step back and trust God because I know that God already has my whole story written out. But it is hard to trust God with stuff that is so big, even though He has everything in the palm of His hand. I have been longing for a relationship that God has not yet placed in my path. We were meant to be with someone else, and I am really starting to feel that. I am in a season of waiting to see what the Lord has for me, and it is a hard season to be in, but I know that it won't last forever. Hopefully. I have had the words "Jesus I will trust you in the mystery" written on my hand for a few days, and every time I look at it I remember, that what is a mystery to me, is not a mystery to God. All my fears, all my concerns, wants, and needs are all known to God, and that is one thing that is so comforting to me.

I read this quote today, and it spoke so much truth into me.

"There is a purpose for every season in your life. Don't be discouraged when it seems like others are moving ahead and you're not. Don't lose hope when you haven't quite met your goals. God is still with you, breathing life into you daily, giving you hope in every single season" #QuiteWomenCo

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
