When God Says No

Have you ever been disappointed? I know that no sooner do I need to ask that question than I already have the answer. We all face disappointment at some point or another. What defines us is how we deal with it. God is typically the most popular subject whenever we talk about this subject. Many times when we are unhappy with the way things are we blame God. Despite the fact that God does not owe us anything.

Many times when we are disappointed our first thoughts fly towards God. Why did God allow this to happen? Why didn’t God answer my Prayer? What did I do wrong? Many times this can cause us to become angry at God, and we will sometimes think that we can’t trust God. When we do this, we think that we are getting back at God, however we are only hurting ourselves.

People today seem to think that God is some magical genie that they can just make their wishes on, and get what they want immediately. Some people don’t take into account that they are speaking to the God of the Universe. The who placed the heavens in the sky and the one who created life. So what would we do differently when we take this into account? It is very likely that we would tend to rethink our arguments against God.

God answers all prayers. Though sometimes the answer is not the one that we might have wanted. As Christians we must try to understand this and attempt to overcome our constraints of disappointment. This way perhaps we will be more prepared for when God says no.

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.
