Are You Letting God Write Your Love Story?
http://www.wallpapers13.com/3d-abstract-widewallpaper-red-roses-27669/

I'm not dating, courting or married, so I have no experience with any of this, really, but not being in a relationship gives me the advantage to understand why it is important to wait on God when it comes to relationships with guys. I've seen girls date, get their emotions attached then all of a sudden get their hearts broken in a short amount of time. My mind is struggling with the truth that my generation has been brainwashed into finding the perfect soulmate.

What exactly is the perfect soulmate? Is this soulmate made up from the secret list that we have made with all the expectations we have for "the one?"

The world tells us so many lies that even Christians have been trapped into believing our love story does not belong in Gods hands, but ours. It's like giving a baby a lollipop and telling them it's a carrot. I'll explain. My generation is brainwashed with the lie of finding "The One." We want to believe that if we keep looking, we will eventually find our true love. The world gives us a lie and tells us it's the truth; you might get hurt but keep searching and you'll find the right one.

As a girl, I know that wish of being swept off your feet by your "true love" is something that girls dream about all the time, and if you don't admit it out loud at least you know its true. Disney doesn't really help, but what can you do? Entertainment isn't perfect. (Sigh).

Here is my point: God's plan of preparation during our time of singleness has been destroyed. We weren't meant to go soul-searching and try to put the puzzle pieces together. God's plan was to use that time to mold us and build us into the person we were meant to be.

So many young people are buying into the lie that they need to find the right partner or else they will be lonely forever. I will proudly burst that bubble to say we will never be alone. If God wanted us to be alone, he wouldn't have created Eve to accompany Adam. God has a purpose for you even though you can't see it now. God is molding you in your single life, but God is also molding your future spouse as well.

The world can tell as many fantasies as it wants, but only one thing is true: no one writes a more perfect love story than God himself.

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.
