2017 may have left you praising and rejoicing, or it may have left you filled with darkness and loneliness. Regardless of how 2017 went, "My 2018 Uplifting Playlist" is perfect for all seasons of life and will leave you filled with hope, love, and awe at how much you are truly loved. My mantra with music is closely aligned with my mantra about food. If you eat a donut in the morning, you will crave sugar the rest of the day. If you listen to not uplifting music in the morning, you may crave that music the rest of the day as well. Choose to start your day with this playlist, or play it throughout the day.

1. "Reckless Love"- Cory Asbury

Talk about a powerful song. In 2017 there was a lot of darkness, and it may have felt like there was only evil, loveless, and meanness in the world. You may have felt that because of the decisions you made in 2017, you were undeserving of our Savior's love. This song implores you to know that the Lord's love is "...overwhelming, never-ending, reckless...". You may have felt that you pushed God aside in 2017 and did so much wrong that you'll never be able to restore your relationship with God. Reckless Love says this: "When I was your foe, still Your love fought for me."

2. "Unconditional"- Urban Rescue

This song speaks this truth over and over: God's love is UNCONDITIONAL. No matter what you've done or will do, He will love you and not let you go.

3. "Tremble"- Mosaic

This is a song you can proclaim over your life. "Peace, bring it all to peace, the storms surrounding me, let it break at Your name. Still, call the sea to still, the rage in me to still, every wave at Your name." Let Jesus have the power over whatever storm you're facing.

4. "Psalm 34"- Shane & Shane

This song is literally Psalm 34 with music. A beautiful Psalm that is so encouraging, it says, "I sought the Lord and He answered me and delivered me from every fear."

5. "Strength"- Jonathan David Helser & Melissa Helser

Feeling weary? This is an incredible song to listen to first thing in the morning or right before you sleep. "Strength, You give me strength, You raise me up again, I will never be the same."

6. "The Overcomer" - Citipointe Live

This one will pump you up and have you ready to face anything. "Your name is higher, stronger, faithful like no other. You are Savior, Healer, Christ the Overcomer."

7. "Abba" (Arms of the Father) - Jonathan David Helser & Melissa Helser

Are you in need of comfort? This song is peaceful and allows you to experience God's love.

8. "Glorious Day"- Passion

This song will have you jumping around and rejoicing.

9. "Refresh Me" - Leeland

"I raise my weakness high in it You're glorified. Refresh me, God Refresh me."

10. "Sparrows"- Jason Gray

The first two lyrics of this song hits me hard and convicts me: "You can’t add a single day by worrying. You’ll worry your life away. You can’t change a single thing by freaking out. It’s just going to close you in."

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?
