It's Not Easy, Don't Give Up
Coach Outlet9

Being a man of God is easy when it comes to what all it entails. BUT when it comes to realistically doing what you're asked it's not easy. God asks you simple things. Trust him when times get bad. To fear not when you're worried. To not be anxious in anything but give all things to him. To tithe 10% of your income. So why is it too easy to slip up and forget those promises? Pretty simple. We are weak in the flesh. We make mistakes. We fail always. We operate in sin or are surrounded by it daily. A simple saying I use, "I walk in the spirit, not in the flesh, I want treasures of heaven, not the wages of death." God offers us a grace. The Bible says he remits all our sins. The word remit meaning He totally erases it as if it never happened. You are a valued and loved by God. His grace and love is unmerited.

There will be times where you fail, you will indefinitely mess up. So stop trying to be perfect. Realize you are imperfect. Focus on God's love. His promises are always yes and AMEN, He will never leave you nor forsake you. In every situation, whether it sucks or is amazing give thanks. It's not easy as a man of God but you can do it. Don't give up on yourself because God never gave up on you.

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.
