Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do.

These days that we are in are filled with division period. Any time you are on the news or social media, there are protests and violence taking place. Jesus we need you.


We can not be shaken by what the world is shaken by, because we will fall. We have the solid rock of Jesus. He tells us in John, fear NOT, for I have overcome the world. He has overcome racism, abortion, everything that is going on in our country right now. We have a hope that is unshakable. All things work out for those who love God and are called in His purpose. The enemy's attack is to put fear in us. In these days, we have to run to God and His word. There is a way that seems right to man, but it leads to death. We have to wear the armor of God.

Jesus on the cross

Jesus was spit on, beaten, called names, injured. A lot of things that have happened to people these past few days. Jesus shed innocent blood for ones who didn't love Him. YET, Jesus said something so importednt that we must take notice. He said, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Us as Christians have to do the same. There is this song that I remembered today by 'Bethel'. The piece of the song that comes to my memory is of this: "You delight in showing mercy, and mercy triumphs over judgment". That is how Jesus was, it was His weird, righteous love that set Him apart in a crowd. When we look at this world, we must be merciful and say father forgive them, for they know not what they do. We must be filled with a gentle spirit. You may think that being so will only cause one to be trampled with. If you have the word of God in you, you can not be moved.

Another great awakening

I believe that we are in the days for another great move of the Holy Spirit. It wasn't by chance that Trump and our vice president are surrounding themselves with God. I watched the ingratiation and noticed all the priests that spoke and prayed. Trump mentioned scripture and said that most importantly that we are protected by God. Because he stands with God, so many are angered with Him. God's word brings forth righteousness, and the word of God convicts people's lifestyles. Jesus hears our prayers. God is going to awaken people young and old to the revelation of Jesus. In the last days, there will be signs and wonders. The young will prophesy, the old men will dream dreams. We will be heard louder if we go seek God and pray. When we pray heaven is moved by our words. If you look at the 70's, very similar things were taking place. Then Jesus came, and a massive revival took place. Jesus was, is, and is yet to come. God has placed us in the time period that we have been for a perfect plan. We could have been born in the 20's, or 50 years from now. God put you here for your generation. Your specific DNA has been put on earth now, because what God has put inside of you is needed for this generation and not for another. God is raising up a generation to fight for their country, school, community by prayer. To say "yes" to God, and lay down everything to see their friends and family loving and knowing Jesus.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
