What To Expect From A Woman Of Christ

I'm just not the same anymore.

When I was a little girl, I didn't know much about Jesus. I knew that he died for my sins and that he loved me but what exactly did that mean? Did that mean I could do whatever I wanted without a result? When I got older I started to have more faith and carry out it in my daily life.

I've noticed that I have changed in the past year significantly. I used to party a lot, I used to try to please people, and live in the moment. No matter how much I did any of these things I was never satisfied...with myself. Once I got saved people couldn't expect the same things out of me. I came to the realization that as a woman of God I needed to separate myself from things of this world.

When I turned 20 I started taking my faith very seriously. I began to lose a lot of friends and I became aware of my fleshly desires. I began to notice that it was impossible for me to continue doing the same things I used to do. How could I after knowing all the promises God has for me? I changed for the better but not everyone realizes that.

As a woman of Christ, dont expect me to see me at that weekend party or kickback indulging in drugs and alcohol. I know trouble only lies there waiting for its next victim. I know that many of my associates will be there. The associates that dont realize they are pulling themselves and others down. The ones who don't care about my boundaries but instead keep insisting I "hit the blunt." The associates that will encourage me to drink beyond my limits and then leave me to my demise. Please don't expect to see me there anymore.

I also will not be participating in any gossip. The words spoken by people in my "clique" didn't have an ounce of love in them. Like daggers they only wounded me. I know the way you talk about me behind my back. I see the way you gloat at others misfortunes. Don't expect me to be around for it anymore.

Gentleman, don't think that I will just show interest in the same type of guys anymore. Don't expect me to Netflix and chill. Don't expect me to settle when you can't match what I have to offer. Your appearance and game won't win me over. It won't make me date you or even consider talking to you for that matter. It's not enough anymore, it should have never been enough in the first place honestly.

Instead, expect to see a young woman constantly looking within herself to improve. Expect a woman who accepts the fact that she isn't perfect but lives out every day striving to be more Christ like. Look forward to seeing a woman who builds up everyone around her with positive words and encouragement. Instead of searching for me at that party, know that you will find me on my face in constant prayer or working on the things that will benefit me in the long run.

Please know that in order for me to be with someone they must have faith. They have to seek God more than they seek me. If he can't be faithful to God, how can I expect him to be faithful to me. Please understand that I am not the same person anymore. Through Christ I have realized I can do all things. I have become brave, humble, and aware that God has so much more to offer me than the world.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
