God's word is powerful.

I am lost without God in my life.

God's word is powerful.
Listening Faithfully

As I come to end my college career I am getting super stressed about what I am going to do the rest of my life and on top of the rest of my life what am I going to do for an internship this upcoming summer. How am i going to pay for my last semester of college, and everything else in my life? All these questions just keep running through my mind.

All I need to do is remember a couple bible verses and keep telling myself these bible verses.

Jeremiah 29:11

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'Plans to prosper you and to not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.'"


This Bible verse really hits home especially with how I have been feeling about what to do with my life. I need to just realize that no matter how many storms I go through, God is here, HE knows the plans he has for me, HE will not let me fail, and HE wants me to prosper.

“Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” - 1 Peter 5:7

I need to realize that no matter what goes on in my life God is ALWAYS here to listen to me and will let me cast not only all my anxiety on him, but also let me cast my thoughts to him as well.

I know I post a lot of articles about God and I am sorry for that to the people who aren’t religious.

It took me 23 years to realize that God is here no matter what I am going through in my life, he cares about me and you. YES, I would most definitely be lost without him. There are many ways to connect with God but with how I have been feeling these two bible verses are going to save me. No matter what happens in your life you should realize that God does care and will let you vent your thoughts to him.

"With God all things are possible." -Matthew 19:26

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.

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.
