The True Star of Testimonies

Who is the spotlight on in your testimony?

I love people's testimonies, I always have. The unbelievable story from death to life is beautiful every time. People overcoming adversity and all odds against them to come out on the other side, and becoming a follower and full believer of Jesus Christ blows my mind and warms my heart.

Sometimes, I forget who the true star of each story is, and I know I'm not the only one. I get caught up in the person's story and think "wow, that must have been hard," or "they're so amazing," which are probably all valid thoughts. The reason why somebody got over a hard situation or why they're amazing has nothing to do with them at all but all to do with God. He is the only reason people get through hardships, He is the only reason why people's personalities shine. When people share their testimonies, the true star of the show always doesn't get the amount of spotlight it deserves. God is the true star of any story and He deserves all the glory.

A testimony shouldn't put the spotlight on the person but should always showcase the amazing transformations God does with countless lives. Our God takes people who dance with death and brings them into the eternal with Him. Testimonies are real world examples of the life transformation people can have. They are to show the saving grace that God's Son offers us because He is our Savior.

So let's shine the spotlight back onto the real star of each testimony. We need to remember that the reason we have testimonies to tell is because of the loving Father we have in Heaven who wants us to turn to Him and have a relationship with Him.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
