Be Still.

We all feel a little lost sometimes, but God promises us that He is always right there with us.

Be Still.

I know I am not the only one in my life who feels lost at times. We have all been there, and a lot of us are there at this very moment. Guess what? I am the one that feels lost right now.

We all feel as if life is falling apart, as if things aren't going the way we want, as if we try so hard for things, and it seems like it goes nowhere... like we are stuck and want to completely fall apart... and honestly, give up. Now if you're like me, you ask God, "Why? Why is this happening to me?" I know I'm not the only one.

As my wedding approaches, I'm having to search for jobs. And I will be the first to tell you, it has been hard. It has been frustrating and tiring... especially when you have no experience outside of working with children. I have felt like I have continuously tried and tried, and I feel like giving up.

Until tonight, October 31, 2020.

In the past week, I have been reminded of something... do not give up. I have had many people say, "It's going to be okay.", "God has you where He wants you.", "It will happen when it's supposed to." And you know what? They're right. God has me where He wants me. I've been frustrated and upset for the past month because nothing has seemed to go my way with the job searching but guess what? IT'S OKAY.

I received a sweet and precious gift from a sweet and precious friend. It was a cute coffee cup that says, "Be still and know." (Psalms 46:10).

So, what exactly does that mean? It literally means to be still and know that GOD is in control. To know that God has a plan for you. To know that His plans are most likely not our plans even when we don't believe it.

All I am saying is be still... in the good times, and in the bad times. I promise everything will be okay. God works everything for HIS good, not ours.

And when you listen to God when He speaks, mountains will be moved... promise.

mistake
Project Eve

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
