Always Know Even at Your Worst You are NEVER Alone

If I was perfect then I would not need the God's amazing grace and love.

These past couple of weeks have been literally so rough on not only me but also my friends. With the semester getting into full swing with tests, essays, and homework, our club obligations, and work it has been crazy to say the least. We have had days that we have cried our eyes out, screamed to the top of our lungs and even taken the stress out on each other. I know for me in these moments and so many more I feel like I have no one to turn to at times, and even think sometimes about how alone I seem to be in life. But then I remember that no matter the situation I am never alone, I always have someone to turn to at all hours and any day of the week.

I will be the first to admit that when I am having a stressful week or a time when everything is just not going my way I often turn away from the one who loves me unconditionally and no matter what. This just seems to be the norm in American and really world culture today. It is almost as if we are brainwashed to believe that when something goes awry that we turn away from the Lord, which is definitely not the response that one should have when it comes to any kind of problem.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5)

This verse is one that is quoted way too many times on social media for their to be so many people not actually practicing what they preach. I don't mean that everyone who posts this on social media doesn't follow it because I know some of the best Christian people in the world who follow this verse to a T, but at the same time there are others who do not, myself including. If we followed this verse more often then I think the world would be a place that would have a lot less stress.

I also know what most of you reading this are thinking that all of this is a lot easier said than done and I totally agree with you there. Although thinking deeply about this subject as I have over the course of the week it has really made me realize that trusting in the Lord with all your might could be one of the hardest yet most rewarding things a person can ever do. Also, there may be some of you out there thinking how can I trust in someone that I can't see or that I haven't met, well to that argument you see the Lord in so many forms daily. From looking in the mirror, to the kindness of a stranger and even the cute little animals that you see running across campus all of these things have the Lord in them or they would not be real. Yes, you may have not met the good 'ole man upstairs but one day by trusting in him and following his will you will get to meet him and reside in his glory.

I really am hoping that you by reading this article I got to help show you that you are never ever alone. That the Lord is always there for you no matter the problem, no matter the time or even how you look at the time, (because I know sometimes when I am walking makeup-less around campus and talking to the Lord it is not a good time to see me out). I hope this has helped someone think about trusting the Lord with all your might because this is definitely something I will be trying to follow not to ever say that I will be perfect and follow this all the time because if I was perfect then I would not need the God's amazing grace and love. But when you are stressed, upset or things just aren't going your way give him a try and I'm sure it will help turn you around.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
