A Letter To My Little Brother

No matter how tall you get, you will always be my little brother.

Hey Little Bro!

I just want to take the time to remind you of how much I love you. You are the greatest blessing in my life and I am so thankful that God gave me an awesome brother like you!

I admire your generous spirit and how you are always wanting and willing to go out of your way to help others. Your selflessness and humbleness is so inspiring. You have a servant’s heart and are so kind and loving towards everyone you encounter.

Remember 1 Corinthians 10:31,“Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.” There will be times when people don’t show you gratitude for your kind actions; don’t let that dishearten you. Continue to do the right thing even when no one is watching and glorify God in everything you do.

I love how you are so hardworking. You study hard and you are diligent in your school work and everything else you set your mind to. I’m so proud of you and all that you have accomplished. I know you will continue to do great things.

Remember Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Never get discouraged or doubt your abilities. God has great plans for you and will use you to strengthen His kingdom.

I am thankful for you and your silliness; you know how make me smile and laugh through the good times and the bad. You are always there for me when I need someone to talk to. You are my very best friend.

Now that I’m in college, I really miss seeing you every day. I miss the little things like getting to talk to you in the car on the way home from school and our random Starbucks and Sonic runs we would go on. I miss you reminding me every single day that you’re taller than me. (but that’s okay because you never forget to remind me when I come home for a visit….and it seems like you're another inch taller each time!)

Please remember that I am always here for you. If you ever need help with anything; homework, girl advice (haha), or you just want to chat—I’m only a phone call and a Facetime away.

Joshua 1:9 says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” This is the advice I want to give you; be strong, be courageous, and be fearless. God is with you always; live your life for Him.

I am so proud of you. I can’t wait to watch you continue to grow up and become the man who God created you to be. Always remember, no matter how tall you get, you will always be my little brother. I love you with all of my heart!

Love,

Your Sister

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
