Your Story Isn't Finished Just Yet, Be Patient With Yourself

You are more than what you think of yourself.

Your Story Isn't Finished Just Yet, Be Patient With Yourself

Why do we remember certain things, and yet forget the rest?

We carry around this unfinished story that is not meant to be dragged around. The words that cover multiple of pages that need to be ripped up and tossed away for good. These words we feed ourselves. Words that tear us up silently and constantly suffocating our thinking of ourselves. Belittling our sense of worth.

We aren’t good enough, pretty enough, likable enough, capable of doing what we are set to do. We get in the cycle of emotion where we constantly feed our mind these negative thoughts allowing it to take over our thinking, which in the end only ends up in a puddle of disaster.

Sometimes for me, I feel inadequate for certain things – I wish to be that smart women who has everything together, but (Does anyone really have it all together?) Someone who one looks up too. Someone who somebody is proud of. “I’m not saying I am neither one of these, but there are times where I do fall short of thinking better of myself.” And I am OK to say that because I know I am NOT alone. All these continuous thoughts that drown out our mindset about ourselves are all filler lies from Satan himself. (Feeding off on our unhappiness.)

I know for me: I tend to get in moods where I can’t understand (Why?) (Why am I feeling this way about myself?) It’s not fun. I know we all have insecurities and face them everyday in our life, but the thief of comparison is a real-talk fighting word that will destroy the way you carry yourself and think about yourself.

So, rather than bundling up these inner thoughts, I am writing this down not only for me but for others as well to understand the importance of:

  1. Taking care of yourself: Meaning, treating yourself as worthy and precious
  2. Knowing what you offer: Your best attributes (Kind heart, understanding, forgivable, etc)
  3. Go to the Bible ( You are perfect and wonderfully made)
  4. Listening to your inner thoughts and breaking it down to the core of why you are feeling a certain way.
  5. Cling to peace and happiness rather than a (nasty attitude)
  6. Remind yourself that you are loved, cherished, and adored.
  7. Be confident in the works that God has created in you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
