We Are More Than Conquerors: Perfection In The Midst of Imperfection

It's so easy to see the negative in a situation.

It's so easy to see the negative in a situation. Even in a situation that is barren of emotion, it's easy to find a reason to be down. We want things to go our way with limited information, believing that what we desire is best. Like little wannabe gods, we try to rule our lives with so much doubt and fear as a foundation. To be wrong, to be isolated, to not fit in triggers the actions we take for a "better tomorrow".

What I've come to realize, is that to live in fear, is to live a life of mediocrity. To live in fear is to barely live, it's a mirage by which many make their decision. Those who truly live are those who see the cliff, but decide to jump; instead of falling, they fly.

Have you ever just taken a moment to be thankful, to see where you currently are despite the reasons why you shouldn't be. When you don't enjoy each day for what it is, you will always live for tomorrow. The irony about living for tomorrow is that although it's anticipated, it's never experienced.

Our ability to overcome is more powerful than what we choose to fear. The ability to withstand our battles till the end is what opens our eyes to what lies within us. It gives insight to how much God has poured into us. I was offered a position that I thought was above me, and I was ready to run away from the obstacle at hand. Although the fear within shocked me, the promise of God held me in place. Before I knew it, all the things I thought were impossible, became easy.

This is to show that we are more than capable of completing, and withstanding anything that we face. Remain positive and thankful in trial. Believe in who God created you to be.

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?

sisters

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.
