Finding God In My Season Of Singleness

Lately, I have been focused a lot on my singleness. I have a lot of friends who are in relationships and so I have been feeling kind of frustrated because I have never dated. Now that I am in my 20s I have noticed myself becoming a lot more focused on it. I feel like a lot is going to change in my twenties, and that's also when people typically get married. I know that there is not really a timeline for marriage, but when friends everywhere are dating and getting engaged, I start to question if I will ever find someone for me.

I try to step back and trust God because I know that God already has my whole story written out. But it is hard to trust God with stuff that is so big, even though He has everything in the palm of His hand. I have been longing for a relationship that God has not yet placed in my path. We were meant to be with someone else, and I am really starting to feel that. I am in a season of waiting to see what the Lord has for me, and it is a hard season to be in, but I know that it won't last forever. Hopefully. I have had the words "Jesus I will trust you in the mystery" written on my hand for a few days, and every time I look at it I remember, that what is a mystery to me, is not a mystery to God. All my fears, all my concerns, wants, and needs are all known to God, and that is one thing that is so comforting to me.

I read this quote today, and it spoke so much truth into me.

"There is a purpose for every season in your life. Don't be discouraged when it seems like others are moving ahead and you're not. Don't lose hope when you haven't quite met your goals. God is still with you, breathing life into you daily, giving you hope in every single season" #QuiteWomenCo

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
