God Knows Who You Need, And Who You Don't

Sometimes, the people who helped us when we were feeling our lowest, wanna keep us there.

God knows who you need in your life.

It can be sad, confusing, and so very disappointing when someone is no longer a part of it.

Someone comes into our lives, and we fall vulnerable to them. We trust them and think they are here for the long run and then all of the sudden – they're gone.

The person you thought was your soul mate, your new best friend, or the perfect addition to your team, lets you down. They turn out to be a seasonal person, instead of a permanent one.

You may begin to question God. "Why did you take this person away from me?" Don't. Believe me – he has a plan.

You may also even begin to doubt yourself. Again, don't. Do not ask yourself, "What did I do wrong? Was I not enough?" Because guess what? Most likely, you didn't do anything wrong, and you are enough.

Friends, relationships and even family will desert you. Do not doubt God's plan for you, and do not doubt yourself because of this.

There is a reason they are being drawn away from you. They are negative energy or someone you've outgrown. God knows that the path they are headed on is not the one for you – and guess what? You are better off without them.

Or – and I'm sorry if I am the first person you're hearing this from, because it's hard to read and accept, but – not everyone who is there for you when you are down, wants to see you get back up! Sometimes, the people who helped us when we were feeling our lowest, wanna keep us there for their own agendas; whatever that may be.

Lastly, God removes distractions from our lives. He will draw away the people who have become more of a distraction than a blessing. This is God's way of keeping you focused.

Ask yourself this: Where does God fit in my life?Is He first, second, third, or a better question would be… Is He even a priority in your life at all?

Sometimes we place our relationship with God on the back burner without even realizing it. Removing those distractions from your life may be God's way of reminding you to not be so focused on earthly relationships, that you forget about the most important relationship of all – His.

While you may not understand why someone is no longer a part of your life now, I promise one day you will – and man, does it feel great when you do!

Do not be deceived: bad company ruins good morals. 1 Corinthians 15:33

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.
