Dear God,

Thank you for your unconditional love. You are there anytime from day to night. You are my 24/7 counselor. You take my fear and anxiety away when the time comes. The love you have for me is never-ending. I can say anything, and it will be forgiven. When I get worried you calm me down and lead me on the right path. You listen when my heart aches with sadness. There is nothing you can't do because you turn the darkness into light. You do amazing things for us when we don't ask for it. You put meaning into our lives and you teach us by example. I would have never have known the true meaning of the expression when one door closes another one opens. We can learn so much from your teachings. When we feel lost or distant in our path of life, you are always there to show us the way. Your words open our hearts to extraordinary things. You show us compassion and forgiveness when we stray down the wrong path. A purpose comes from you because you put us on this earth with a purpose. God, you give us a fresh start every day we wake up. Our past is our past--we can't let it define us. The key is the future. You take away the evil in our hearts and in our lives and you replace it with peace. You take our suffering and you calm it with your presence. We take being thankful for granted. We should be thankful for the many blessings we have in our life everyday, not just once a year on Thanksgiving.

Your love is never-ending, and we need it more than ever.

I feel like saying thank you isn't enough.

Sincerely,

A girl who prays a lot

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?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. 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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
