What's Next?

God’s work doesn’t come to a halt when the journey gets tough, will yours?

What's Next?

It happened. Trump is now in the presidential office. There is no going back. So, what’s next?

It begins with being dissatisfied to the extent that justice continues to be fought for, but also continuing to be completely satisfied in the King of Kings. Here’s 10 Bible verses to give you a jumpstart in doing so:

1. Psalm 106:3

“Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.”

2. Hosea 12:6

“But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and wait for your God always.”

3. John 13:34-35

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

4. Proverbs 16:9

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

5. 2 Chronicles 7:14

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land”

6. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness”

7. Daniel 2:20-21

“He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.”

8. Luke 6:22

“Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.”

9. Acts 17:26

“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.”

10. Job 12:22

“He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings utter darkness into the light.”

The presidential office is temporary, God is forever.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
