A Season Of Waiting

God's timing is worth the wait.

Have you ever felt like what you're facing in your life is never going to end? Have you ever felt like the trials of your life were too much to handle? If you feel like you're stuck in a season of singleness, failures, or unemployment -- just hold on. Hold on to the fact that God has something better for you. Tomorrow is a new day and His mercies are always new.

If you're stuck in a season of unemployment, I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I've seen it firsthand how it affects others. My mom was unemployed for eight months. There were times where we thought we were going to lose our house. It was tough trying to provide for three kids without a job. But, somehow every month, God provided. There was lots of praying. When my mom started to lose faith she finally got a call from a company in Hoover and has been working there for over a year now. God brings purpose to the pain.

If you're in a season of failures, know that God restores. He will make you whole again. If you give up your life to Him, He will make your paths straight. God's grace is astounding. There's no mistake that we can make in our lives that will make God love us any less than He already does.

If you're stuck in a season of singleness, just keep pressing forward. He has someone in store for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve. Wait for the one God has designed for you. God's plan for your life is so much bigger than your plan. Instead of trying to find the right person, work on becoming the right person. Your future wife/husband is praying for someone just like you. Someone in my small group told me to fall in love with Jesus first before I fall in love with any man.

Wait for God and His perfect timing. His timing is never early or late. Be still in the season God has you in. Embrace the delay you're in right now. Just remember God will be with you every step of the way.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
