Finding What Is Broken And Making It Beautiful

There is beauty within the broken pieces.

Finding What Is Broken And Making It Beautiful

Today in my english class, the professor asked if any of us kept a journal. I looked around and saw that no one had raised their hand and I slowly raised mine. Yes, I do keep a black journal with a page marker in it, but I don't write the normal things that would be kept. I turn my thoughts into poems and that is what I keep in my little black book. You may be asking yourself, "What does it mean to be broken?" Being broken can be literally anything. Being broken can be the child that is homeless with no hope. Being broken can mean having something or someone that you loved so dearly being ripped out of your life. Being broken can mean having insecurities and hating them and attempting to change them. Being broken can also mean being beautiful. God had to turn complete darkness into something beautiful when He created the Earth.

How do I find the beautiful in my life that seems to be falling apart? There is an easy answer to that question, but it can be difficult as well. You have to find God. You might be thinking, "Where is the beauty in finding God?" I wish that I had this amazing answer to give to you, but I don't. In order to find the beauty in God, you have to have a personal experience with Him and you will automatically know and it will be a feeling that you will never forget. In the end, God and His love is the ultimate goal. My youth pastor once told me that I am strong enough to run this race of life. Everyone has different paces and it doesn't matter where you are in your life because everyone will go through the same thing eventually. I have many mentors that I look up too because they went through the same things that I did and they will always be there to help me out.

What helped me get through my broken pieces were my poems. And one day I hope to have them published so they could be a way to help other people through whatever is broken in their life. My thoughts are that if I can only help one person, then I have achieved what God has stated in His Word. You may be broken, but you are not broken beyond repair. That is what makes being shattered beautiful. I love filling mason jars with crushed glass and using it as room decor. The jar with the glass reminds me that I am myself when I show my brokenness to Christ because only He can make you brand new. If your reading this, just know that I am praying for you and believing in you to get through what your going through. Remember that you are not alone because the maker of the universe is and will always be by your side.

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.
