Ephesians 3:11 – "He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart, yet man cannot find out [comprehend, grasp] what God has done from the beginning to the end."

One of the many amazing things about God is that He is constantly making things beautiful. He is constantly changing circumstances and allowing things in our lives for only a short season. The way God works is amazing because no matter what circumstance occurs in our lives, He is making it beautiful. No matter what the situation or circumstance is we must trust the process. Because everything occurs in seasons, I would say that in order for us to trust the process, we must embrace the season. The word embrace means, "an act of accepting or supporting something willingly or enthusiastically." To embrace means to see something as it truly is and accepting it.

Whenever something good or bad occurs in our lives it is easy to run to things that are familiar to us. We could run to social media or friends. But there is a big difference between running to things that are familiar and running straight to God. See when we run to things that are familiar, it is easy to fall back into old patterns that we were already freed from at the moment of salvation. When we run straight to God we are able to get clarity and peace. The problem or situation is no longer controlled by us, but it is completely in God's hands. This leads us to trusting the process and embracing the season.

God wants us to trust Him and He wants us to embrace the season. Because everything we go through is a lesson. Everything that happens in our lives, brings glory to God in some way even if we do not see it at the present moment. Son and daughters, no matter where you are in life learn to trust the process and fully embrace your season. No matter what, God will make it beautiful in His appropriate time. You may not be able to comprehend it now, but God will allow you to comprehend it, in His perfect timing. So today lean in, let go, trust and embrace.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
