Are you Listening?

Listen Up!

Listen to the wind blow in the evening, and listen for the gentle whispers heard through the breeze. Sit outside at night and take a look at the starlit sky, while saying thank you for creating such an image to see. Watch the sunrise early in the morning and listen to the sounds of the birds chirping in the trees. Listen up for the coach to call a timeout at the game and end it in a prayer that will keep the players in the field while giving God the glory.

From dusk to dawn help me to hear your voice through the words that you speak and write it on my heart so that I may hear and know that you are there with me. Open my ears to the sounds of nature so that I can be that listening ear. Listen up and hear the Word of God straight from His word to every day activities. Listen to the rain falling on the roof and hear the gentleness that only God provides; and understand that through the Word of God his voice is clear and steady for us to follow. Open my ears so that I may hear the good news that is so ever true. Listen up so that you may hear that God will help you through, and listen to his words as you write them on your heart; so that you can let others see the example he set for you and me. Listen up and work together to encourage one another. Watch the water make the waves and just listen to the sounds of the tide. Listen for that little child who may be looking for their momma and reassure them it is okay, and hear the silent cries of many who are afraid of asking for help but need it most. Open my ears and let me hear all of that together and help me to listen to you! Listen up and help me to hear your voice, Let me hear the gentle whispers in the breeze, and in the evening skies all day through. Please help me to listen up! Amen.

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.
