Reminders We Need to Hear Everyday

"I'm with you"

Reminders We Need to Hear Everyday
Sabrina Cuadra

Sometimes we can forget who we are or where we came from because our lives get so busy. Our schedules get full of tests, quizzes, plans with friends, meetings, work, practices, involvement and so much more. So, here are some reminders of who we are and what we are

1. You are loved

You are loved by your friends and family. No matter what you are going through, your friends and family love you. Even if your friends seem distant right now or your family is far away, they will always love you. But even more so, you are eternally loved by God. He loves you so much that He sent His one and only Son to die on the cross just so that He can know us personally. He is jealous for us and wants to spend time with us, He wants to hear about your problems, He wants to know you because He loves you so much. Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:10; Romans 8:35-39

2. You are good enough

Yes, we all suck. We sleep through our alarms and are late to class or work, or miss class or work. We let people down, we lie, we make mistakes. But through it all we are enough. Some days we don't feel like we are good enough, we get assigned a task and don't know why because we don't think that we can do it. We feel like we only ever fail anyone, we can't trust people because they have let us down before. We aren't good enough, but Jesus makes us good enough. He died on the cross so that we could have a relationship with God. Because of that we are enough, we can accomplish anything through Jesus because He fills us and makes us whole. So stop comparing yourself to others, you are good enough

3. You have no right to be unhappy

If you just remind yourself that God eternally loves you, that He put His Son to die on the cross just to know you, and that you are enough, then you have no reason to be unhappy. Yes hard times are going to be thrown our way and life is going to be unfair but that is only so that we learn to lean on the Lord during those trying times and learn to rejoice during those times. They are hard for sure, but don't let the difficulty of them get in the way of you and your happiness. Remember who you belong to

4. God is with you

Wherever you are, or wherever you are going, the Lord is with you. He wants you to acknowledge Him and talk to Him. He wants to live life with you and walk side by side. He is there in the hard times, even when we don't see Him. And it's mostly because we aren't looking for Him. Find Him, He's there. Matthew 11:28-30

5. It's all going to work out

The Lord has a plan, and there is a reason for everything. Yes, that is one of the worst things to hear when you are going through a tough season in your life but if you really sit down and think about it then you realize that God's plan is so much greater than ours. The thing that you desire most in the world could end up being so detrimental to your life and that is why God is not giving it to you. He needs you to focus on Him and recognize that He has a plan and it will all work out. Just rest in the peace and comfort of knowing that He has a plan and He only wants the best for you. This does not guarantee that it is going to be only good things, this means that life will get hard but if you push through the hard times with your eyes on the Lord; the benefit you reap will be so much greater than anything you could ever desire. Psalm 46:10

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
