GOD Hears All, Faith Is Key.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend about God and he showed me that he was listening Sunday morning.

Last week I had a conversation with a friend about God. We were talking about life after death and how it was a struggle to believe in something that you haven't experienced. We talked about Ressurection, what happens when you die, and if there even is life after death. We talked for hours about how we feel guilty for questioning our faith and God. Faith is believing in what you can't see. We are taught to believe in things that we can see, but what about things that we can't?

Sunday, a few days after we had that conversation, I went to church and my pastor began the service by asking for the definition of Faith. He waited for a moment and then he proceeded to tell us that everyone one of us has a different interpretation of Faith. Faith is choosing to believe in what we cannot see. Trusting in the unknown.

I was shocked, tears filled my eyes and I cried. Tears flowed continuously down my face, and whilst I felt guilty, joy filled my heart. God heard me and sent me answers through my pastor. While I am certain the message wasn't only intended for me, I needed that message at that time.

"Our fear and doubt can create mountains, but our faith can move them" -Unknown

No matter how bad things get you have to have Faith. No matter what is going on in your life, Faith is going to be your biggest help. Faith is the truest measure of our strength and will. The circumstances that we face in life are just collateral damage in circumstances that you face during your battle of keeping confidence in god.

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.
