Even If

Why your circumstances don't dictates Gods Sovereignty.

Even if.

Even if I don't get an A on that exam...

Even if I get told that I'm not good enough...

Even if my surrounding circumstances are giving me every reason to give up...

Even if.

What I have learned most recently, is that regardless of where I think I should be in life or what is going on around me, Gods sovereignty covers it all.

Last semester was one of the hardest semesters I've ever had to face, and that was because I had the idea that if my surrounding circumstances were not in favor, then God was not in my favor. I thought that I was doing something wrong to bring about all of these emotions and things that I was going through, and as a result, spiraled into a constant ball of anxiety.

There was not a particular moment that I realized that this mindset was not healthy. It happened slowly, as I learned to have more grace with myself and others around me. I came to the realization that even if I don't feel 100% myself, or if everything is telling me to just simply throw the towel in, that is when I must realize that God covers it all.

I must not base my joy or my attitude off of my circumstances, but the idea that God is there with me, covering my circumstances.

Sometimes, a little faith is all that we can muster up, and that in itself, is enough.

We all know how easy it is to feel God when things are going right for us, and our lives look exactly how we want them to look, but what about when they don't?

On your worst day, Gods sovereignty covers you just as it does on your best day.

Even if.

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.
