God's Plan Is Not Mine

I try to listen to God in the quiet time that I have, but I can never hear Him clearly.

God's Plan Is Not Mine
Taylor Markee

For the past few weeks, I have really been struggling to realize what God has planned for my life. I retook an exam that I needed to pass to get into my program, and I did not pass it. I studied for months for this exam, and still did not get the score that I needed, so now I am stuck trusting God with my life. I have to figure out what I want to study, and what I want to change my major to. I have been stuck in a season of frustration with everything that has been going on with school.

I am so thankful for my friends who have been so encouraging to me and have pointed me back to the Word each time I start to stumble. I have a strong faith, and I know God will pull me through somehow. But I just wish at this point in my life I could sit with God over coffee, and have Him tell me what He wants for me.

I try to listen to God in the quiet time that I have, but I can never hear Him clearly. I read Psalm 27 the other day and it was an amazing passage to read. My friend recommended it to me, and I just sat in awe when I was reading it. It was everything that I needed to hear at that moment. I still don't know where He is leading me right now, but I keep going to the Word and leaning on friends in this season of my life. God has everything planned out of me, and I am just trying to trust His plan. completely.

"The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life — of whom shall I be afraid?" — Psalm 27:1

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.
