God's America

No matter what happens, this is still God's America.

God's America

We're one day away from the biggest, craziest and most talked about election that anyone can remember. It's a hot topic right now, and it's so easy to get pulled into all things political. However, this election is not the most important event that will occur in our lives. That will be the day when Jesus comes back, or judgement day.

At this point, hopefully, we've all done our research to decide which candidates are the best fit. We've watched the news, debates, and political rallies time and time again to prepare ourselves for Election Day. By now everyone's minds should be made up on who we will vote for. It makes me wonder how many of us prepare like this for judgement day. Do I read and study my Bible all the time to prepare myself? Do I talk to my friends every day about God? Have I completely chosen that Jesus Christ is the one I will serve? Or do I teeter back and forth between serving God and the devil? If we should ever talk about and prepare for anything in this world, it's definitely judgment day.

None of us know when Jesus will return. We may die before then, or we may not. It could be tomorrow or it could be thousands of years away. We don't know, and that's why we should prepare. Tomorrow after the election results are announced, my normal life will resume. God still expects you and I to be the same Christians serving him as we were the day before. He expects us to show love and respect to everyone, and that includes our new president and other elected officials whether we like them or not.

There's a movie out now titled, Hillary's America. This is funny to me because even if she wins, it will not be her America. The president does not own this country. The president does not control all things in this country. All of that is in God's control. No matter what happens, this is still God's America. We may have evil running rampant, but God is in control, and he can bring it to an end at any point. This world could be gone in a second if God chose to take it away. God is in control now, and he always will be. We cannot always fully understand his plan, but we have to have faith that he will work everything out for the best for us.

So for this election, do your part. Pray fervently about it, and then go vote. But always remember, there's a more important day coming. We have this time here on earth to make up our minds to serve God. When judgement day comes, it will be too late. God gives us the time and resources to know his word and know what to do. If you're reading this, and you don't know how to become a Christian, pick up a bible and read. Send me a message. Talk to someone who does know. Just do something to take action. On that day, every single person in the world will confess that Jesus is Lord, no matter what you've done and believed during your lifetime. Prepare. Don't be the one who waited too late.

“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:10-11‬ ‭

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.
