Trust God's Plan

Why God's plan is a million times better than any plan we could come up with.

Trust God's Plan
goodnessofgodministries.wordpress.com

Ever since I was little, I was told to "Trust God's plan for you", "God knows what he's doing". Since I went to a private, Christian school I was extremely used to it. If we had any sort of problem, "God's plan" was the answer. It didn't matter if it was major or minor, that was always the answer. It was something I had learned at a young age, yet didn't know the extent of it until later in life.

While in middle school, I was bullied and really doubted my faith. I didn't understand why God would let this happen to me especially being surrounded by the people that were supposed to life me up in my faith because it was a Christian school. Without that happening, I realized that I would have gone on to high school there and probably end up at a small Christian college.

I was able to go to public high school and for the first time in my life I realized God had been working in my life. I got to be my own person and I had so many good friends that loved and supported me. I was able to play sports and join a cheer team that changed my life forever. I met my mentor and my best friends through it and I graduated being so happy and so excited for my future. I found my home at WSU and found a perfect major. Without everything happening leading up to it, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Sometimes I wonder why things happen in my life and what I did do deserve the pain that I go through. I wonder what God's plan is for me, I don't understand why things aren't going my way and why they won't just get better or why it can't be easy. I wonder why he is punishing me .Then I remember that everything happens for a reason and that things will fall into place eventually. I can't sit sad when I know things will be okay and I remember the days I thought things were never going to get better and they turned out absolutely amazing. Having faith and trusting that God has a hold of your future is everything and I can promise that trusting God's plan is going to turn out a million times better than any plan we could come up with on our own.

Sometimes it's hard to believe that bad things happen to us for a good reason, but trusting in God's plan I've learned, is always best. No matter that struggle you are going through, there's always something better on the other side. The bad things happen so we grow and are able to prepare for the good to come. God will always take care of us and sometimes we need to be reminded of it. Whatever our worries are now, we just have to trust that God will do so much better than we could ever do without him.

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.
