Hello God, Are You There?

Open your heart and fall to your knees, request guidance and let down the tattered walls of your heart.

Hello God, Are You There?

In a society that is always looking for immediate satisfaction, we fall into the current of "controlling" our surroundings and expecting an immediate resolution. We have lost patience and the appreciation for God's timing, agonizing over every move we make and ending up with the antagonizing question of "what if"; when God has clearly told us to trust in him, that he will provide and never forsake us. Yet we continue to run in circles chasing our own tails, tripping over the pieces we have left in our wake.

Have you noticed that you may have an idea of what you think would be best for you and it doesn't always turn out that way? Yes, you will go through trials and tribulation, you may even walk many, many miles until you come upon a clearing, but God has always led you. He is asking for you to trust in him and with doing so you have sprouted a vine, because he is the source of life, he will continue to multiply your branches and allow you to grow into someone you may not have believed possible.

We are malleable, fragile, his clay to form for his will. Open your heart and fall to your knees, request guidance and let down the tattered walls of your heart. He is waiting for you to step back and ask him to take the reins, to show you his love and mesmerize you with a future you are not capable of dreaming up. God says, "You provide the obedience, and I'll provide the power. You obey, and I'll show the way." Exodus 3:11

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
