The Beauty Of God's Presence

Even When We Don't Sense God's Presence, His Loving Care Is All Around Us.

The Beauty Of God's Presence
Nicole Mcdonald

I never say that God’s presence is truly with me, but the other day as my friends and I were driving down this dirt road, none of us had any idea what would be at the end of the road, we were in the middle of conversation and out of nowhere we all just look ahead and see this lake. It was the last thing any of us were expecting to see.

I was in awe of running into a lake, It was the last thing I expected to see, I immediately hop out of the truck and run to a couple rocks near the water, and just looked up at the sky and immediately felt God right there with me.

I took a few pictures. Then I looked off to my side and saw this guy gutting out fish so I went up to talk to him and asked him if he got the fish at the lake and what the name of the lake was. He told me he got the fish from the lake and that the name was Kelly Lake. He also told me that if we drove a ways up the road we would be at another lake.

My friends and myself decided why not try to find the other lake. The road was a tad bit scary so instead of me sitting in the truck while one of my friends drove I decided to hop out for a good two in a half miles and walk with the other friend. After we got out and began to walk my friend driving decided to keep going and made it to the lake, he got out for a bit then came back and got us and said the road wasn't to bad so we decided to get back in the truck and drive up to the lake.

Once we got to the lake, I got out of the truck, looked around and just was in awe again. I may have been terrified going up the second road towards the second lake and used every cuss word I could have thought of, but once I got to that lake I was just in shock of how beautiful the lake was with a mountain of snow right behind it. Both lakes were absolutely of magnificence.

It’s definitely the little things like finding two mountain lakes that definitely make me feel at peace and make feel God’s presence with me.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
