People tell you when life gives you lemons, you are supposed to make lemon aide. I don't like the outlook of the lemons because when life gets tough, I rely on my faith. Faith comes in the size of a mustard and if you have just a little faith big things can happen. Sometimes in life, things in super hard and you feel like you can't do anything about it. When you pray and ask Jesus to help you and you stand back and let him do His work then everything will be okay.

In my life, things have gotten to where that I stop talking to friends and family because I go into a low and dark state. Now when I feel like that is happening I go and pray. I also talk to my friends and they help me through it. I also rely on my faith because I feel like if I have just a little bit that I can move mountains.

I know that some people feel like giving up because thing get too bad or too rough and they also think that they have no one in their corner. If you have ever felt like this then I want you to know that you have the greatest person sitting in your corner. You have the man that was beaten and died on the cross for you and his name is Jesus Christ. Even if you feel like everyone in the whole entire world is not with you just know that you have him.

Jesus loves you no matter what. Even if you feel like Jesus may not love you and that you have done so much wrong in your life. Just know that Jesus doesn't care, He loves you no matter what you have done in your life. Also, something that is even better is that He forgives. If you just pray and ask Jesus to forgive you then He will. Jesus will also never give up on you and He will answer prayers. He may not answer your prayers right away but, they will end up answered. Everything happens in his time.

So, if you ever feel like you are feeling like life is getting rough then have faith and pray. If you feel like you are alone, know that Jesus is with you. Jesus Christ will never leave you if you wander from his path just know that he will be right where you left him. Always go back to him, the journey may be hard and you may feel like giving up but, when you have Jesus in your corner everything will be easier. Just hold on to your faith and hold on to Jesus!

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
