I Don't Know What God's Plan Is For Me

I've been a writing a lot of article about God recently, but it feels like the place I need to be in my life. I don't know what God's plan is for me. All I know is that he has brought me to this point in my life. He has brought me to this school. He has brought me to my major. He has brought me to be part of all of the things I am a member of on campus, including the Odyssey. So here I am talking about Him in an Odyssey article.

I don't know what God's plan is for me. I don't know how He is going to use my life to honor him. But, I was reading a devotional out of Matthew West's book Today is Day One, and there were a few lines that stuck out to me.

In the first paragraph, he says "God doesn't use everybody the same way." I really like this line. It served as a reminder to me that it doesn't matter how small of a role my purpose will seem to play. It will make an impact in ways that only God will ever know.

Later, he goes on to say " When you're truly surrendered, God pours into you the abilities you need to walk out His will for the rest of your life." This is something else I needed to be reminded of. I need to be reminded that I am capable of carrying out God's plan for my life. That He has given me the ability to do this. And finally that it will all be okay in the end. I will not fail God. I will be able to complete his plan for my life.

Finally, something I find very important is to know that you do have a purpose, but you might not know it. You might find it out one day or you might never fully understand it. Just trust that God has a plan for you and will work through you in mysterious ways. I don't know what God's plan is for me, but that is okay.

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.

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.
