Fill Your Soul With Music

Stop stressing and worship Him instead

Something that I have learned about music, is that everyone in the entire world loves some genre of it. Whether it's Latin, country, pop, rock and roll, Christian, or any other type, music has this ability to open up our soul and make us want to dance around the room.

I went to a Christian concert a while back ago, and it's SO incredible to see the sight around the room. People are clapping, dancing, raising their hands, and just all around worshiping. It's a sight that I'm sure will be found in Heaven.

"Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." – Psalm 100:1-5

The speaker, at the concert, said something, and I freakin' love it now. He said, "Don't worry, worship". He said that we are all going through our own lives, some of us may be carrying some battle with us, but for us to be truly thankful, we need to praise God for the things we have received, and also, the things that have not yet been received.


Oooh that just stuck with me. I have always thought about thanksgiving meaning to being thankful for what you have. But, it is also for the things we do not yet have, the things to come.

It's so easy for us, as human beings, to be so caught up and worried about the things to come. It's easy for us to have those freak out moments. But we have to walk by faith and praise God for everything that has and is to come.

For we walk by faith, not by sight. – 2 Corinthians 5:7

Sheep do not have very good eyesight. They basically have to rely on their shepherd to move by listening to his voice. The shepherd protects the sheep and watches the sheep to make sure no harm comes to them. The shepherd guides the sheep throughout their life and he cares so much for his sheep. You see, God is our shepherd, and we are His sheep. He cares for us. He provides for us. He watches us and protects us. He leads us and He guides us.

He wants to reach us and for us, to reach Him. We may not know what the future holds, but God wants to walk by our side and lead us the whole way through. If we seek Him, praise Him, worship Him, pray to Him, we can follow His voice through it all.

So next time, you're worried or stressed, remember this. Don't worry, instead worship. The Lord is going to lead you and have your back through it all.

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.
