Let's make a difference.

People are just so great. I can't get over it. Each person is made differently, so unique, it's beyond beautiful. There is a story behind each and every person, a story that we are all still walking through. We are all human. We all make mistakes. Mistakes are what we can grow from; a mistake does not define someone. We are called to love one another the way Christ loves us. and He loves us beyond what we can even imagine. He loves every flaw, every feature, and most importantly- everything that we don't like about ourselves. God is full of love. and we should be too

I want to be full of love, in every circumstance. I want to love others even if that means they won't love me back. I want to see others being touched by REAL love. I want to see RADICAL change in my community, and in my city. We are called to love everyone, and that means everyone. Wouldnt it be too easy to only love the people that loved us first? What love really means is to love someone wholeheartedly and take the risk that they might not love you back. Jesus did this. Jesus loved people who cursed Him, hated him, and He loved the people that killed Him. His heart was so pure, so pure for The Lord.

God's love touches people in such a HUGE and drastic way. and we may not even realize it. A simple encouraging word for someone, buying someone's coffee, helping a lady with her groceries across the street, giving a homeless man some change, and just listening to how someone's day can truly radiate the love someone may desperately need deep down. Showing love is simple. It is kind, and pure. Jesus didn't separate himself from the sinners, He bent down to their level and became friends with them. Can you believe that he actually just immersed himself into sin only to be the light in the darkness? JESUS is radical. He has called us to live a radical life and that means we have to step out of our box. out of our comfort zone, and live everyday expecting to touch the lives of many. We need a passion to love others to truly change our community. I believe that we are here to make a difference in the lives of many. How can you make a difference in someone's life if you won't step out of your own comfort zone? Lets be the change in this world that is very much needed. Talk to people, get to know them, and make an impact.

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.
