God has recently put several individuals in my pathway that have reminded me "Money Can't Buy Happiness". Life is a journey and at the end of the road there isn't a Brinks truck behind! What people will share at your funeral won't be the size of your house but instead the size of your heart. It won't be how cute the shoes are you walk in but how far you would walk to help others.

As next month approaches I am challenging myself and each of you to dedicate the blessings of "Free to the Month of February"! Feel it don't buy it will be powerful!

Money can buy a false illusion of control but not faith! Trust in the light is nothing but trust in the darkness is faith. I have been privileged to see a couple walk away from a high paying job that was leading no where to ministry and missions providing riches money can't buy. Proverbs 10:22 says, "The blessing of the Lord makes me Rich". I have witnessed my best friend turning and growing in faith during a year of confusion, change, and challenge when others would try to buy their way happy. In February put one foot in front of the other and let faith help you climb the mountains that doubt has created.

Money can buy medicine but not health! It has touched all of our lives. The loss that leaves a hole that time and God turn into a scar. A mother of 3 children with a loving husband taken by illness, a sister taken in an accident, a child taken from the world when his/her story was barely started. Life and health are priceless, finite and fragile. Take the time in February to say too much, show too much, love without limits!

Money can buy outside appearance but never inward beauty! A pretty face will never mask an ugly heart! Your outward glitter will fade with age but the stardust in your veins will last forever! In February embrace opportunities for small and random acts of kindness. It can be as simple as making someone smile; every act of genuine kindness grows the spirit and strengthens the soul.

May your February be filled with adventure and stories to share not things and "stuff" to show.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
