A man of God will make it known to his partner that he loves God more than anything else in the world. He will love God more than he could ever love any other human. His relationship with God will never be compromised for a human relationship and that is what makes him so special.

A man of God will not pull Bible verses out of his back pocket and recite them in order to impress other people. He will not google verses that he can use at his discretion. He will feel no pressure to prove to anyone that he is a Christian and has studied the Bible because his actions and words have already made it known that he is living through Christ.

A man of God will not allow for his partner's relationship with their faith to be compromised the same as he would not allow his own faith to be compromised. His partner's faith journey is just as important to him as his own, if not more important.

A man of God will recognize that he is called by God to use his life in giving glory to Christ. He is not called by God to make money and to maintain expensive possessions. He will recognize those things as blessings and as things that come second. First and foremost is using his life to give glory to Christ.

A man of God will never establish a physical relationship before an emotional or spiritual relationship. He will recognize that physicality is a beautiful gift from God that stems from an emotional relationship. He will also recognize that a physical relationship is not and never will be a necessity in any relationship with his partner.

A man of God will never pressure his partner into a physical relationship, nor will he be pressured into a physical relationship. He recognizes that in order for that relationship to begin, both people must have had time to prayerfully consider the relationship.

A man of God does not date somebody without having the intent to marry. He recognizes that the relationship may not end in marriage, but he knows that the act of dating is a test to see whether or not this person is fit for marriage.

A man of God is humble.

A man of God is kind.

A man of God does not just take his partner's hand, he continuously lifts them up in prayer.

A man of God does not just walk with Jesus through a relationship, he lives through Jesus during a relationship.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
