A Love Letter from God (Part Two)

You are a citizen of heaven and not of this world.

There is no need to spend so much energy wanting to look like the world, talk like the world, and act like the world so, instead of being discouraged that you don't fit in, wear it as a badge of honor that I have separated you for purpose. I want you to be proud to be my daughter. I didn't create you to be weighed down with shame, but you can't grow unless you let go of the world's idea of who you should be. Don't let your heart become envious of those around you. Comparison will only entice you to follow a path of spiritual death. It is my will that you should live, not die, but the only road to life is through me. You may want to fit in with the world, but I want you to fit in with heaven.

My word is a mirror, and as you spend more time internalizing it, my word will show you your true identity in me. The more time you spend with me, the more you will become like me!. How amazing! You don't have to accept the broken image of yourself that this world tries to force feed you because I've given you another choice; an image that is whole, flawless and blameless in my sight; and image that radiates love, peace and holiness rather than confusion, self hatred and fear.

I hold you in the palm I of My right hand and no one can pluck you out, but from the depths of your heart, I can see you resent me.

You're on the outside looking into this curse world through my nail scarred hands; the token of my unconditional love for you; when on the cross I bore your pain, so that you could be healed; where I shed tears so that you could smile, where My heart was broken so that you could be made whole,and where I died so that you could live. Yet, you see my protective hands as prision bars.

How long will you despise me? How long will you fight against my perfect will for your life? It stands before you as mountain. Yet, you still pounch and kick against it until your knuckles and feet are broken and bleeding, mirroring the condition of your heart, but I am the ultimate healer; the only one that can bind together broken bones and broken hearts. When will you surrender to me?

Let Me in.

I know you hear my roar as my love beats against your hardened heart like waterfalls. Even though you pretend that my cries are mute to you, I will still fight for you. My strength is Infinite; just as I give power to the water to cut away rock, I will cut away the walls you've built against Me. I will slip through your cracks, watering your wounds until your scars bloom into flowers.

Love,

God

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.
