Have you ever had one of those days that you feel like absolutely nothing can go your way? And that day snowballs into a week and a week into a month? Recently, I have been feeling this exact same way. I am one hundred percent unsure of God's plan for me which thus instills in me an incredible amount of fear for what the future will hold. I know He is amongst me everyday; however, I have struggled understanding what exactly God has prepared for me in the time to come.

Nonetheless, without these particular trials, I wouldn't be the person I am today and have learned so incredibly much from those around me. Don't get me wrong, it has taken me an immense amount of time to figure out why I should be putting my full trust in Him. Lately though, I have found that keeping my trust in God is all that I need when it comes to my worries.

Psalm 13:5 states, "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation."

While being fully submersed into a college student lifestyle, I have found it more difficult to make time for Our Lord. So, when I began feeling this negativity and doubt weigh heavily on my heart, my friends and family were the ones that I turned to. What was most amazing about disclosing my worries to them, was that they always provided me with Bible verses or the simple statement of, "I'm praying for you".

Wow. Those simple things resonated with me throughout the rest of that week and still speak to me today. The people that I surround myself with have invested their souls into the Lord. To me, that was so neat to observe and take in.

After that day, I looked to focus more on God's unfailing trust and love.

Let me tell you, we are surrounded by his love day in and day out. That was something so crucial that I never actually took the time to notice.

1 John 4:19 states, "We love because he first loved us."

The verse above is so simplistic, yet so meaningful. We are able to love others because of Jesus. Without his love I wouldn't be able to love my family and friends as much as I do. Can you even imagine a world without love?

Furthermore, I really took these two verses into consideration when it came to overcoming my doubts and worries. I had to look at the big picture and ensure myself that not only does God have something so incredible planned for each and everyone of us, but he also loves us so much! I think that is pretty amazing.

So, remember what ever trial you are facing, seek out God's unfailing trust and love. He will guide all of us as soon as we start putting our faith in Him.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
