This New Year Will Be A New Journey In My Faith

https://stocksnap.io/photo/ADJ1PFOA64

Most of my articles that I have writen have been centered around my faith or around the ideas I believe because of my faith. I have enjoyed writing them, but towards the end of the year in 2018 I was feeling lost in my faith and so it was becoming hard to continue to write articles with no inspiration. It felt wrong to be saying one thing and then going along with my day and not follow through with the words I just wrote for people to read.

I understand that this world is not perfect and it is filled with distractions that are intended for us to fall short. However, I cannot continue to blame the world for the reason why I do not read bible everyday, pray to God about anything and everything throughout the day, attend church weekly and build fellowship within the church. I also know from experience that I can not rely on myself to execute these acts on my own because temptation becomes easier to fall into. When I fell into temptation it became a habit. I felt in my heart I wanted to change the way I was living my everyday life and it would look different if I just committed to setting out a time everyday to have quiet time with the Lord.

There are goals that I have set for myself, but starting off this new year God has already been showing me that I need to focus on figuring out myself. The first thing to this would be growing more in my relationship with the Lord and trusting in him. From there I know He will handle the rest. A certain Bible verse was brought to my attention and it really speaks to what I have been feeling with wanting a God centered life rather than a life with God mentioned in it when I want him to be. the verse is from Proverbs 16:3 and it says "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans."

Going back to school will get me back in a routine but that is part of the reason why I want this spiritual change because I do not want school which only matters on my time on earth the over rule what will effect my time spent in eternity. God's grace for me and love will and already has driven me to engage in with him everyday and I am excited to what he has in store for me this year.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
