For God is the essence of it all in our lives

As I lay here on this breeze night listening to Christian music on the background, I begin reflecting on my life, all that I have gone through. Then, this song begins to speak to me. My minds starts going 100mph. I knew then that God had spoken to me through the lyrics of this song. It was then I realized the time has come, to make my comeback a great one.

I know now more then ever I’ve been put here on this earth to do just this. To help others grow in their faith in God, to give people hope for what tomorrow may bring through my testimony, and encourage my readers. God knows I have so much to give through it, so much that it needs to be put out there.

Life has been quite the ride for us all I’m sure, it's like a series of events; the moments shared, the people we encounter along the way, all those things in between is what keeps it so interesting. These things are all meant to be a part of our growing up process, so I’ve learned.

I owe it all to God, for giving me this life for waking me up, and giving me another chance at life. Not just to breathe in the fresh air of a new day but for giving me a new day to actually start over again. A new day to be a better person then I was yesterday, a second chance on the person he wants me to be in this world. I know now more then ever that he doesn’t waste anything I have been through in life. Not the good and certainly not the bad.

I know some of you may say, “well..how can that be?" But, In order to ever see it this way you have to allow yourself to believe, to have faith and trust in God. I assure you that just then you will witness Gods love for you. God is never blind to your tears, never deaf to your prayers, never silent to your pain. He sees and hears everything, therefore he will deliver when the moment and time is right. There’s this saying that says you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. Well, God says “ Any one who wants to save their life will lose it; but anyone who loses their life for my sake will find it.” Matthew 16:25.

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.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
