Faith Over Fear

Take that step of faith, deny your fear and trust His faithfulness.

Faith Over Fear
Gospel Nation

We can live so gripped by fear. We can live motionless - unmoving - because stepping out just doesn't always seem easy. We can forget that our Maker has already overcome our moments and our fears. He is above it all and knows exactly what is going to happen; He even promises that it will be for good. I can tell you from countless (and I mean countless) experiences, that He can take the most confusing, scary, hard times and bring about the deepest joy in the long run. Yet somehow, I still find it so hard to trust when something seems to not be working out. I fail to trust the most faithful Creator, the One who has always proved trustworthy, the One who has been my peace in chaos and my security in the most overwhelming moments.

Yet even still, Christ is faithful. He is still seeking me out and loving me deeper than anyone I've ever known or ever will know. And He still allows me to join in His beautiful plans, no matter how fearful I might be.

Take that step of faith. I need you to know, it will be worth it. Though God's faithfulness does not depend on ours, He loves to watch us step out in faith and to trust Him more; He loves to watch our faith grow. He allows us to be a part of His beautiful plans if we will just take His hand and let Him reveal Himself to us - and I think that is the most incredible thing.

Trust Him. It is worth it. It is greater than any fear, any pain. His love and faithfulness last forever; our fears are so temporary in comparison.

2 Timothy 2:13 says, "if we are faithless, he remains faithful." I know this is true. Take that step of faith, deny your fear and trust His faithfulness.

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.
