I Surrender All To Jesus

Because everything in comparison to Jesus, is garbage.

Most of the time I like to believe that I have everything figured out. I would like to say that I know what is best for me and I always do what is best for me 100 percent of the time.

If I said this I would be lying. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I am a complete mess. Half of the time I don’t know what day it is. Is it Monday or Friday? I don’t know. I am in a constant state of at work or in class and I am always exhausted.

I have been living life day to day just trying to get by. I have been trying to do things on my own.

Trying things completely on my own often lands me in trouble, but I have a God who always helps me back up when I fall. I have been learning day in and day out that I have to surrender everything to God. I can try and take the reins all I want, but ultimately it is God who is control and I just need to follow His path for me.

I am learning to give God everything because He gave everything for me. I will surrender my time, talents, money, relationships and take up my cross like I am called to do. We don’t have control of everything. It is okay to be a mess, God takes us as we are. All we have to do is surrender and we will then endure the fruit of the spirit.

Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruitof the Spirit is love,joy, peace,forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness and self-control.
Against such things there is no law.


Surrender isn't easy, but it is so worth it to live in God's love and grace. Take the time to sit and listen to the message that God is speaking into your life. Are there things in your life that you haven't fully surrendered to God? What is it that's holding you back from being who God has called you to be? Is it your friends? Your job? Your pride? God wants you - all of you - and I promise that it is worth it.

Philippians 3:8
"
Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could gain Christ."


Everything compared to Jesus, is garbage. He laid down his life for us, no let’s live our lives for him.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
