10 Lies We Tell Ourselves

Who is your worst enemy? A question we often don't think about..enemies are a thing for the movies right? Sometimes your own worst enemy is yourself. You are the only that can constantly feed yourself lies and wind up with no choice but to start believing it.

1. Why would he/she pick you?

2. There's someone out there prettier than you.

3. You don't really need that extra piece of cake do you?

4. Second place isn't good enough

5. You're too emotional to be straight.

6. You're probably not the only girl he is talking to right now.

7. There is nothing special about you


8.How could anyone ever love you?

9. No one is ever going to want to marry you


10. Just stop trying.

You. You are the one that is keeping you from freeing yourself. Until you let go of the hatred that you are carrying around and the accept you for you, you cannot be free. God made each and every of us into perfect image bearers of him, and is denying ourselves not the same as denying our God?

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit."

Romans 8:5

God calls us to live Christ like lives and if we are so focused on the things of the flesh we can not truly devote ourselves to fulfilling the plans he has laid out for us. I can not see the wonder in others if I do not see the wonder in myself. Letting Satan win power over our thoughts is like placing our lives in his hand. For to live a life devoted to Christ, is to live a life devoted to loving all things made by him, ourselves included.

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.
