Being Still through the Storm

Thank you, Jesus

Being Still through the Storm
Rachel Witt

Each day we are thrown obstacles that can vary from tiny to extreme. For example, what to wear for the weather or a change of major. Life can sometimes be overwhelming, making choices that come with after effects. New people are coming in and out of our lives, and even some old friends sneak back into the picture.

The Lord tells us “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” Psalm 46:10. He knows our each day what we will struggle with, and what choices we will even make. The Lord reminds us to be still in His presence because He WILL be exalted among every nation.

The minor details become less important when we learn to be still. Life isn't about begin worried if the boy likes you, or if you are having friends troubles. It isn't about worrying what church you will be attending on Sunday morning, or what you are going to eat the next day.

If Christ followers become less consumed about every day worries or what they are putting Instagram. We could see a growth in the Church itself. Believers need to show that we are broken, and show that we are sitting still in the will of the Lord. It can change our attitude about life.

My Prayer:

Lord, allow me to be still in you. I know I am broken and sinful. Allow me to strive to be closer to you each day. Allow this life of mine to glorify you to the fullest. May each person I speak to see you. Father, heal the broken hearts who are stuck worrying about the little stresses of everyday life. May your plan be revealed to them. Thank you for this life and the Love you offer!!

Amen.

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.
