Trump Is Not The End
afaofpa.org

The harsh reality of this election season is that our world has been turned upside down. A multi-billionaire is now the president-elect, and the nation is in an uproar. The United States of America, which was once the world’s powerhouse, is now the laughing stock of the world- the village idiot.

How have we come to this point? How have we slipped so far down the slope of lies that we believe that Donald Trump is the end of this nation?

Donald Trump is not the end. He is a person- a single person who does not have enough power to ruin an entire country. So why are people in such a flurry of anxiety and worry?

The short answer to that is the lack of faith that our nation has in our Creator, but it really goes much deeper than that. Our nation was founded by a group of men who placed their faith in God…not in money, or world power. They did not hope to succeed in their own doings, but put their hope in the One above.

In God we trust…but do we really? Is this phrase exemplified in our nation, or is it just a motto?

There has been great unrest in our country. Though one might think it has to do with racism, or sexism, or bigotry…these are not really the issue. The most serious problem that our country currently faces, and has faced for a very long time, is the lack of faith that we have in God, our Heavenly Father. He is the only source of true joy and hope and peace. Without Him, our world will fall, and is falling, to the lies that we are fed by the enemy.

In the end, it will not matter what your sex is, what the color of your skin is, or who the president is. The only thing that matters, and will ever truly matter, is placing your faith in the One who created you, and growing in your relationship with Him. Eternity awaits at the end of this troublesome time on earth, but the only way to receive this eternity as your own is to place God above your worry and your anxiety.

God will not let our nation fall to one man. He will not abandon nor forsake us.

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.
