Changing Seasons

"Though the seasons change, Your love remains."

At some point in our lives, we all experience change. Whether it be a big change, or a small one, encountering change is not always the easiest thing to get used to. We love staying in our comfort zones, so when God tells us it's time to change, most of the time our first reaction is not to rejoice.

Sometimes change is fun, though. When a new baby is coming into the family, or when you are planning on moving away to go to your dream school, you are able to see Jesus faithfulness in a whole new way. The butterflies that are in your stomach have little to do with your nerves, but more to do with your excitement.

It is fun being in our comfort zones, and it is even fun to try new things, but getting to that second phase is where things can get tough. Transition phases, or as I call them, the "grey" areas, can sometimes be dull and even nerve-wracking. That grey area is especially rough when you are called into a new season quickly.

A few years ago I had to go through an eight month period of a transition phase unexpectedly, and it taught me a few things: 1) Don't look at it as bad. God has a plan and a purpose. He had all of our days mapped out before we were even born. It may be a surprise to us, but it is not to Him. 2) Stay in prayer. This is how you get your peace in the grey area. He will speak to you, just listen. 3) Be happy that something better is on the horizon. We go from glory to glory, and each new step is a way for us to see God's goodness in a new way.

So, to anyone who is in a season of change: I am praying that you are able to see Jesus faithfulness in a new way. He is in the waiting, and will always meet you right where you are.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
