Waiting for God

His plan is better than mine. His ways are higher than mine.

Waiting for God

We hear people talking about waiting on God's timing all the time. I talk about it too. It's because it's true. God's timing is much better than anything we could ever put together. We get ourselves in such a mess when we jump the gun and don't wait for what he has planned for us. Just think about Abraham. Instead of waiting on God to bless him with a child by his wife, he decided to have a child by someone else. This foiled God's plan, and all because Abraham and Sarah were too impatient to wait. The same thing happens with all of us today.

It's true in so many aspects of life that God's timing is best, but the one that comes to mind the most is finding a spouse. Some people set unrealistic goals for themselves and think they have to be married, have a great job, and a nice house all before they're 25 or whatever age they choose. People go out searching and make it their goal to find someone, and often they settle for the wrong person. This is not how God intended it to be. He never intended for us to find the first person interested in us and date just for the fun of it. I know God has better plans for me and for you. I know he has someone picked out for me who loves him above all else and will love me second. I don't want to settle for anything less, and I hope you won't either.

Wait for the man/woman who puts God first in everything.

Wait for the man/woman who will love you like you deserved to be loved and will always lift you up.

Wait for the man/woman who you think will be a good father/mother for your future children.

Wait for the man/woman who you think you can spend forever with.

Wait for the man/woman who will only lead you closer to God and never turn you away.

Know your worth. In God's eyes you are worth everything.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
