Dear Friend,

You are so much stronger than you know. You are so much stronger because Jesus Christ lives in you. He is your hope, your light, your joy, your fulfillment, and your strength.

You are so beautiful and strong. Your love for Jesus is not only incredible and inspiring but it makes me want to know Him more. That boy didn’t know what he had when he took you for granted, when he broke your heart.

You are so much stronger than you know. Jesus Christ lives in you, you are a Daughter of The One True King. You radiate joy and happiness. You embody love and compassion. Your kindness goes further than you know and you will be so successful in your future. Because of our sweet Lord.

Your worth is in Christ alone. You are predestined for greatness, you already have the greatest love story because Jesus loving us the sweetest love we can feel. You deserve the world and I cannot wait to watch you obtain it. His path for you is going to unfold and I hope you let him blow you away.

Your radiance is abundant and your love is limitless. Your encouragement is appreciated and always genuine.

You deserve to be treated with respect and love. You deserve to be loved and actively pursued. You are the woman a man is praying to meet and to marry. It’s hard in the ambiguity that is heavily looming over your life, but God’s plan is greater than you could ever imagine.

He will care for you and protect you and show you his strength. There is nothing too big for him to handle. There is nothing that he fears. He is not afraid or angry in the midst of your confusion and weariness. His wonder and his power are unphased.

He will provide a life that is full of joy because joy comes from him. He will use you to glorify him. He will love you limitlessly and consistently, especially when we earthly people fail you. Keep your head held high and don’t look back.

That failure that ‘broke’ you is now in the past. The insecurity, the judgment, the control is all in the past. Don’t settle for someone who plays with your heart, don't settle for someone who finds humor in mind games, who keeps you around for convenience or for someone who will repeatedly break your heart.

You have such strength to continue smiling while rebuilding what someone you once trusted broke. You continue to love others through the pain and show graciousness and kindness to those around you. You’re beautiful and loving and gracious. You love as Jesus and deserve nothing but happiness.

Your strength is inspiring and I wish I could take the pain from you. Lean into the Lord for he will fill you with truth, joy, and love that no human could ever match. Continue to be you, selfless, loving and caring. Continue to care about others. God is going to bring you closer to him, so lean on him. He will make known his presence and his love.

You are so much stronger than you know because you have Jesus Christ after your heart, mind, and soul. Jesus lives in you and that itself is incredible. I love you, sweet girl. Keep your head high, dry those tears and get back on your feet to live for the glory of our beautiful God.

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.
