God Gives you what you want when you need it

Don't settle for less than God's best

God Gives you what you want when you need it

God gives you what you need, when you need it.

He gives you who you need, when you need them.

Not when you want it, not when you think you need it, but in his own perfect timing.

His timing is so perfect that when it does happen, and your prayer/s are answered, you will stand back and think "wow' that was so perfect."

If He doesn't give you who you want, understand that He has His reasons, and you are getting a much better person than you could ever imagine.

If He doesn't give you what you want, understand He has much bigger plans for your life than you could've ever dreamed of.

Understand He is a good good father and only wants the absolute best for all of us!

He isn't going to leave you in the middle of a storm, and take everything away, just because.

He is putting you through that storm, as a lesson, and something that can be added to your testimony. Our struggles turn others into Christ followers.

God starts slowly taking things and people away when you have your priorities mixed up or if they no longer fit in your story.

Everything happens for a reason, and that's life.

Whatever storm or season you may be in your life, understand that Jesus is there right by your side, don't lose sight of your faith.

It's all you have, and God's the only permanent person in your life.

Don't settle for less than the best straight from God himself!

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."

I still remember the days I prayed for the things that I have now, and I know that God will soon answer my prayers for the rest of it, in His own perfect time.

Staying patient is hard sometimes, but anything worth having is worth the wait, especially when its sent straight from Heaven.

Yes, God gives you what you want, only if He thinks you need it.

God gives you the best, so why not wait? Don't settle for less.

Stay in contact with God, always.

Never lose sight of your faith on your journey, no matter the path you take, or how hard it is.

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.
