In Tune With God

"Most Christians are busy pleading with God in prayer, [to transmit], when the problem is with their receivers”.

In every instance, God is trying to tell us something.
He is always trying to show us something.
To make something out of some thing.
To teach us, or explain something.
To make us realize something.

Lately, I have realized more and more that God only shows us what he needs us to see.

“This is saying that communication with God is Spirit to spirit, not brain to brain or mouth to ear, the way we communicate in the physical realm” (How To: Hear God’s Voice – Andrew Wommack Ministries …)

Learning to listen for God's will or his way in every situation takes time. We are told or taught to place other's before ourselves in order to receive true joy or satisfaction. By doing this, we place ourselves last. When we are no longer distracted by our own wants and desires, then we can truly embrace God's direction and guidance.

In order to fulfill God's way, it is necessary to be in the right state of mind. We have to put our anxieties and fears beside to truly hear him. We must set aside our ungodly wants, and we cannot be distracted by our own thoughts. Our intentions and motives need to be pure, in order for the end result to be clear. So, it’s up to us to listen for, trust and follow God's way. To do what our virtuous intuition is telling us.

In most situations, we are protecting ourselves, or looking out for what is best for us. Instead of benefiting others, we have been taught to, "do whatever it takes to get there". This mentality will not get us very far, because we automatically shut out God's will by avoiding his way.

If we all "had each other's backs", or looked out for what would benefit everyone, our world would be more peaceful. God wants this for us. He encourages us to live our life for others, instead of ourselves. We just have to listen.

Andrew Wommack described it perfectly for me in his article by saying,

“Radio and television stations transmit twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; but we only hear them when we turn the receiver on and tune it in. Failure to hear the signal doesn’t mean the station isn’t transmitting. Likewise, God is constantly transmitting His voice to His sheep, but few are turned on and tuned in. Most Christians are busy pleading with God in prayer to transmit when the problem is with their receivers.”

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.
