To to the man that God has set aside for me.

A Letter To My Future Husband
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7


Dear my beloved,


I am not ready for you yet. God is still working on me. I am still trying to figure myself out and get to where God has me going. I am excited to meet you one day though. I know that with God's perfect timing, we will meet exactly when we are supposed to, when we are both ready.

To be honest, we probably will be so caught up in life and in the moment that out of no where, we will appear to one another. I know it won't be like a Lifetime movie, but it will be perfect in our own messed up, sinful life kind of way. Our life where God's grace is new every single day.

We will get to explore together, create new memories together and adventures. We will be able to make each other laugh and we will take the good in with the bad. We will be happy just in each other's presence. We will have experiences with one another that we have yet to experience with anyone else. But we have to remember to keep God the center. In our relationship together, in our families, in our work lives, He must be first above all else. God is the fountain of life and without Him we will never have grace or be renewed.

What I pray for above anything else though is that my heart is ready for you when that day comes. I pray that right now and each day until I meet you, that God is continually working on my heart. Not for you, but for me. I need to be ready before I will ever be ready for someone else. Before I could ever take care of someone else, before I could ever pour out my entire being to someone else. Before I could ever share my deepest secrets with someone else. Before I could ever love someone else again, yet alone let down my wall and let someone else love me again.
I know that with whomever God brings into my life for me to love, those walls that I have built will slowly, but surely begin to fall. So I pray that you will be patient with me. I can be stubborn and a little bit sassy, but I will love you with all that I have. I have a really big heart. I will make you laugh and I will go on adventures with you. I care about people a lot and animals too. I don't like things to remain the same. So let's go out on a date to the park, watch Netflix, or go for a walk. Let's build a life together, with God in the center and see what happens.

Until then, I can't wait to meet you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
