What Do You Do? Pray!

There are times when you feel that you have no other option or you're lost in the world, but prayer is always an option.

What do you do when you have no place to go? Not physically, but mentally — your friend won't understand, your mom can't help or maybe it's just not something you don't want everyone to know. Your mind is where things race through your mind one hundred times and you'll still be confused on the meaning of it all. You make yourself upset thinking about an event that happened five years ago that you can't get over. You make yourself happy thinking about memories of the best relationship you ever had but then get mad at the mistakes that were made in the relationship. What do you about it? You pray!

What do you do in school when nothing is going like you planned? You got this scholarship and the only way to keep it is by keeping these basic academic standards but you can't because nothing is going how you planned. You don't want to go to a tutor because who has the time? You definitely don't want to ask the teacher because you don't like them either and you don't want to seem lost. You want to make it seem like you have everything together but you don't and it's hard to admit it. College is no joke. And at the times you want to give up... pray! Pray that you can make it through and then try harder.

What do you do when you want more out of life but you don't know where to start? You want to own a business, have a well furnished home that you own, get married and have this huge wedding, have a family and so on. But I mean who has that type of money? Everything is expensive and what you want is out of your reach because of your situation. Pray about it. Don't pray for money, pray for better opportunities. If you get them, use them wisely. And don't forget to continue to pray and thank the Lord for giving you these blessings.

What do you do when you miss someone? Whether it's because of death, distance, or disconnection. You miss their company, their voice, their advice, or maybe you miss being theirs and only theirs. This is when you overthink and emotions are a wreck because you don't know what to do. What do you even do when you and a partner broke up maturely but you're still friends? It's like everything is perfect again but if given the chance would you even take them back... I say pray some more.

This is just a quick article to tell you that no matter the situation when you don't know what to do, good or bad just pray about it. Pray for better situations but act on it don't just wait for Him to do it for you. When I feel alone I know that I'm not because the Lord is always with me even when I feel that He isn't, He's there. So when you're asking "what do I do?" Just talk. Prayer is always an option!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
