I Finally Took The Leap Of Faith That God Was Calling Me To

"She's not afraid of the wait anymore, for she knows He will open doors beautiful and perfect in their time."

I Finally Took The Leap Of Faith That God Was Calling Me To

Throughout the past few weeks and months, I have been thinking a lot about the plan that God has for my life. For so long, I thought it was teaching. But I came to realize that I was wrong. Teaching is not what God has planned for me anymore.

I have struggled with the GKT for at least a year, and I started to get frustrated and doubt that God even had a plan for my life. I questioned Him, and myself. I started to lose sight of my future and lived in the fear that I was not going to make it.

In the past few days, I have spent so much time immersed in the Word, and prayer. I am decided to take the leap of faith and change my major to journalism. I don't really know what I am going to do with this major, but I am trusting that when God closes a door He is going to open a window for me. I know that He won't leave me in the dark, even if I can't see Him yet. He is working on me and has bigger plans for my future than what I can see. God is begging me to trust Him right now in this season, and even though I have my reservations about it, I know it is what is best for me.

There is a quote by Morgan Harper Nichols that says "she's not afraid of the wait anymore, for she knows He will open doors beautiful and perfect in their time." I think this quote pretty much sums up what I am trying to believe for myself and my life. God knew what I was doing with my life before time even began, and if that is not a comforting thought I don't know what is.

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.

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.
