He Carried Me Home

My God smiled at me/ Life then lit my eyes/ A touch from His hand/ And my marks were no more

Praise be to God Almighty
For he stands when all others fall
And lives when all else perishes
I cried out from Satan's lair
Bound tightly in chains

I struggled in the lock that had no key
I writhed and screamed in pain
Demons mocked and laughed on all sides
As I sobbed in despair; evil cut deep into my flesh
In horror, I cried out

My chains then turned to smoke
And before my eyes You were
Your Holy Light was so bright
That the demons fled from Your radiance
All evil recoiled with a hiss and shrank to the shadows

My God stood alone before me and
Spoke, "Come."
My heart pounded as I fell over myself in haste
I rejoiced as tears streamed down my face
My God smiled at me

Life then lit my eyes
A touch of his hand and my marks were no more
In his arms, I wept with relief
His love formed a fortress around me
And carried me home

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.
