Dear God,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for not caring when a friend introduced me to You. I'm sorry that I only wanted to please her. I'm sorry that I spent practically 19 years finally getting to know you. I'm sorry for running from you when I was fearful. I'm sorry for putting my physical relationship before my relationship with You. I'm sorry for not living fully with You because I was afraid what others would think. I'm sorry for all the times I came up with an excuse not to worship You. I'm sorry for all the times my choices weren't in glory of You. I'm sorry for quitting when things didn't go according to my plan. I'm sorry for not spreading Your word as much as I could. I'm sorry for not being the best Christian I could be.

Thank you.

Thank you for never giving up on me, even if it took me all of this time to get to know You. Thank you for waiting. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for giving me a gift I can use to worship You even if I run from it sometimes. Thank you for accepting me for who I am. Thank you for giving me this life I have. Thank you for making things go according to Your plan. Thank you for showing Yourself to me even when I was too scared to show that I did know you. Thank you for allowing me to grow in You with my friends. Thank for sending your Son down to die for our sins. Thank you for giving me so much more than I deserve.Thank you for loving me more than I could imagine.

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.

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.
