I’m writing this with an extremely heavy heart. This morning wasn’t like any other morning. I got up, went to my 8 AM, went back to my sorority house, and sat on the couch. Normal. I have numerous unread texts flooding my phone. Not normal. As I woke up this morning, I discovered the news that a fellow Panhellenic member had passed away. Though I was not close with this beautiful woman, the Panhellenic community is one big family and this affects us all.
I am a firm believer in that God has a plan for everything. No matter what has or will go on in your life, the good, the bad, the ugly, your good days, your bad days – HE WILL take care of you. HE WILL be there to comfort you. When you think you have no one or you feel alone or if you feel scared, please know this: you are NOT alone. You are loved. You are cherished. You are His perfectly imperfect creation and He desperately wants you to know just how much he adores you.
If you’re feeling low or doubtful, take a moment to remind yourself that your Heavenly Father has it all figured out and everything will work out according to His plan.

“Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
