Praise Him in the storm

In This Article:

Lately I've been going through some situations that look hopeless and I've spent day after day praying, I even fasted. I decreed and declared, knowing that I know these requests line up with God's will, which is the Word of God. I was delivered from demonic strongholds which held me captive because of willful sin in my life.Still, I felt like nothing was changing. I was crying out to God, "what am I missing?" Finally I got my answer, I was snared by the words of my mouth. I was confessing defeat, instead of giving praise for the breakthrough and blessings He wants to give me. I wasn't waiting for Him, He was waiting for me. A perfect example is in 2 Chronicles 20, The Lord told His people this battle is not yours, it is the Lord's, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you . All of Judah began to praise and worship God, when they did this, it released God's presence and power. God is so infinitely wise while Judah trusted and praised He sent confusion and fear among their enemies, until they utterly and completely destroyed each other, not one was left standing. In order for Him to fight our battles we have to get out of our own way and trust and obey, even when our natural mind can't conveive how things could possibly change. Limiting beliefs of what He can or will do, how it'll be done, and in what timeframe we prefer will keep us from living the victorious life He wants to give us. If we get off the throne and let him be Lord in our life He'll do it such a way that the enemies we see today, we will never see again!!!

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

We all freak out when things don't go exactly as planned or when our expectations are unmet. As time goes on, we realize that the uncertainty of college is what makes it great. Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
