"He Made The Stars Also"

God made the stars, just as simply as that.

God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. -Genesis 1:16

He made the stars also.

That verse, that single phrase, is one of my absolute favorite verses in the entire Bible. He made the stars also. Just ponder that for a second. Think about how simple that phrase is. Think about how effortlessly that comes across. It was nothing for Him to cover the sky with beautiful balls of fire that we would so come to adore. He just did it.

He made the stars also.

We have no way of knowing just how many stars there are, but it is estimated that there are over 100 billion in our galaxy alone. Stars are different colors and tempuratures. Stars are many different sizes, some even 100x the size of the sun. Some stars are closer to us, while many are very far away. Stars go through different life stages and change over time. He made all of these billions of different, unique, beautiful stars, and it was easy for Him.

He made the stars also.

God speaks to each of us differently, and He really speaks to me through the stars. He has given me a special love and appreciation for stars. He always displays extra when I really need to see them, or just to remind me that He is there, or sometimes just to make me smile. Stars bring me peace, happiness, joy, and so much awe for the what the Lord has created. I simply can not get over the way that something that gives me so much, something so beautiful and magnificent, was created so easily by the hand of God.

He made the stars also, and I am so thankful He did.

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.

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.
