If you really think about it, we spend a good chunk of our lives preparing for the person we will spend the rest of our lives with. As we get to the age of young adulthood and marriage, many people are yearning for this someone to come join them for the rest of their lives. The bible tells us that we need to prepare for the person that God has for us.

Matthew 6:33 - But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

At the beginning of our lives God prepares us for the person we will spend the rest of our lives with. Everything we do up to this point in our lives will help us prepare for our future spouse. Whether it is dating someone in high school or God teaching us to have patience, all things we have been taught from God over the years will be very helpful in the process of preparing for our future spouse.

In 2 Peter 3:18 it says "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever! Amen." And in Proverbs 13:20, it says "Walk with the wise, become wise, for a companion of fools suffer harm."

As we wait for our future spouse, we have to also wait on God's timing and plan. God has had a master plan for each and every one of us even before we became life. This being said, waiting is hard especially if all your friends are getting married and have boyfriends or girlfriends and you don't have any of it. But just know that the time you have spent without a boyfriend or girlfriend and going to weddings has helped prepare you for your future spouse.

Jeremiah 29:11 says "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

When waiting for that special someone and going through hard times, we can pray for that special someone that will join us for the rest of our lives.

Praying for your future spouse is part of preparing, for you and for your special someone. Having a tight bond with God and continuing to talk to him through this hard time of waiting will all be worth it in the end. God has had this special someone picked out for us our whole life, and we finally get to meet this person and grow in faith with them!

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.
