"For Once In My Life"

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me - Stevie Wonder

Those words are from a popular song by Stevie Wonder talking about finding that true love and feeling satisfied with the person you found is the person for you and you for them. I look forward to that day that I will place a ring on that pretty finger of my beautiful bride and to walk to the reception and sing this song to this beautiful heaven-sent blessing. How my family and closest family will have a new daughter to introduce to the family. Their Patrick with his special someone. Someone to come home to, to argue with and make up with food and special surprises. To have someone to vent to and pick on only to laugh until you cry again

My dad and I were sitting in the living room discussing the future and relationships and he said "Son, whatever you do in life be intentional. If you do not plan to make whoever your pursuing a permanent thing do not invest or pursue it. In all aspects" Those words ringed into me. I want to have something that comes to me to be positive and long-term. The way you can make the outcome be the outcome you strive for you need to project your mindset into the one you want for yourself. Do not go looking for what you think you need for what you need will find you when its ready to be found or when God allows you to find it.

We live for now and we as a generation have the shortest patience span. Living for cheap thrills and quick satisfactions. Instead of working and fighting and taking time to make something that will last longer and has more to offer. When you get that attitude and set that as the goal and nothing short of that you will begin to find what you looking for, But if you are there and you still have not found your other do not fret. Your partner may not be there yet, instead pray and keep your eyes on Jesus and when both you and your future partner are ready you will be put in each others' lives.

Enjoy the journey and do not worry about the destination. You will get there when you need to, not when you want too.

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.
