You Know The Plan

And because of that, I will trust in you.

You Know The Plan

Jeremiah 29:11… “For I know the plans I have for you” - this is the Lord’s declaration - “plans for your welfare, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

HE knows the plan, even though we do not always know. Yet there is so much more to this passage. This was Jeremiah’s letter to the exiles. Jeremiah goes on to say the Lord will be found by you, but before the Lord is found you must call to Him and seek him.

The Lord had a plan for the exiles, and has a plan for you. Are you searching for something in your life? Call on Him. Are you trying to find your career path? Call on Him. God is never too busy for your problems. No issue is too trivial for God. No issue is too massive for God.

We have free will for a reason, God allows his children to make mistakes and allows the devil to tempt us to make us seek Him again. God is our father. Imagine a little girl reaching up to her dad, arms open wide, crying because she just scraped her knee. Will her father turn her away and say it was her fault? No. He will pick her up, tell her everything is okay, and take care of her. This is exactly what God does for us.

You can run from God for years, but the second you turn back… He is right there waiting for you, arms open wide, saying “welcome back, my child”.

I have been trying to do everything on my own. I have been trying to figure everything out solo, but God used the people in my life to show me this. God can do the same thing for you. It is not too late. You have not gone too far. God is waiting on you, so will you turn around?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
