God Thought You Were Worth It

You want love? God is love.

You’ve got those couples that have been dating since they were in the sixth grade and you have the others that have known each other for a year but are already engaged. Looking into the Christian dating scene you see a bunch of different stories, each one planned and sculpted by the grace of God. The only thing that seems to be missing is the other half of your couple. Which is really annoying because you know God has your best interest in mind and his timing is perfect it’s just you could really use a special someone right now. Someone that’s there for random lunch dates, somebody to tell you that you're beautiful (or handsome), just someone there to share your love of life with.

It gets tough at times, you know that God will provide that special someone in his own time but the doubts still creep in. Is there something wrong with me? Am I not pretty (or handsome)? Am I too awkward or weird to be loved? These thoughts, while normal, are not from God. They come directly from the creature below. When these thoughts start to creep in stop and remind yourself that the same God that created the universe that put the stars in the sky, the God that painted those beautiful sunsets decided the world needed you. When you start to think you are not worthy enough to receive anyone’s love remind yourself that Jesus thought you were worth dying for! While we focus on not having a special someone we miss out on the most important being out there! Instead of worrying about finding someone on earth let’s start to give thanks and glorify the one who thought you were worth dying for before you were even born. What kind of love that must be! So when the doubts of your self-worth or the opinions of others start to creep into your head remember that the same God that made gravity and the other intricate details of this world also made you and sent his only son to die for you. You are loved and while the timing may not be going the way you want it, God wouldn’t keep you waiting unless it was worth it. So be patient, live in the Lord's presence and remember “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her” Luke 1:45

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
