God Gives you what you want when you need it

Don't settle for less than God's best

God Gives you what you want when you need it

God gives you what you need, when you need it.

He gives you who you need, when you need them.

Not when you want it, not when you think you need it, but in his own perfect timing.

His timing is so perfect that when it does happen, and your prayer/s are answered, you will stand back and think "wow' that was so perfect."

If He doesn't give you who you want, understand that He has His reasons, and you are getting a much better person than you could ever imagine.

If He doesn't give you what you want, understand He has much bigger plans for your life than you could've ever dreamed of.

Understand He is a good good father and only wants the absolute best for all of us!

He isn't going to leave you in the middle of a storm, and take everything away, just because.

He is putting you through that storm, as a lesson, and something that can be added to your testimony. Our struggles turn others into Christ followers.

God starts slowly taking things and people away when you have your priorities mixed up or if they no longer fit in your story.

Everything happens for a reason, and that's life.

Whatever storm or season you may be in your life, understand that Jesus is there right by your side, don't lose sight of your faith.

It's all you have, and God's the only permanent person in your life.

Don't settle for less than the best straight from God himself!

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven."

I still remember the days I prayed for the things that I have now, and I know that God will soon answer my prayers for the rest of it, in His own perfect time.

Staying patient is hard sometimes, but anything worth having is worth the wait, especially when its sent straight from Heaven.

Yes, God gives you what you want, only if He thinks you need it.

God gives you the best, so why not wait? Don't settle for less.

Stay in contact with God, always.

Never lose sight of your faith on your journey, no matter the path you take, or how hard it is.

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.
