While You're Waiting For The Love Of Your Life, Let God Be Your One True Love

Lord, please, keep making me.

While You're Waiting For The Love Of Your Life, Let God Be Your One True Love
Ally Mishell Smith

Recently, I've been living in a state of loneliness. Not in an "I don't have any friends" lonely, but like an "I want to have someone to walk through life with" lonely. Whenever you're going through something like this people always tell you, "Your future husband will come, just be patient." or "Keep praying, He'll come." While those are true and I fully believe that my God will send my future husband to me, it's hard. It's hard to remain patient when everyone your age is getting engaged or getting married.

Recently, I had the pleasure of getting to go to a Sidewalk Prophets concert. Before the concert, I knew a few songs but not enough to get me super excited about going. I was mainly excited to spend time with my family and just to have a good night with Jesus at the center. One song, however, caught my attention and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. The song is called "Keep Making Me" and here are a few of the lyrics.

"Make me broken so I can be healed
Make me empty so I can be filled
'Til You're my one desire
'Til You're my one true love
'Til You're my breath, my everything
Lord, please, keep making me
Make me lonely so I can be Yours"

When I first heard these lyrics, it immediately rocked my world. It was one of those God moments where you hear a song that speaks exactly to what you're going through and instantly calms you down. Ever since I heard the song and I get in a period of loneliness that get so overwhelming its hard to breathe, it reminds me the truth.

The truth that God is my one true love.

The truth that even when I'm broken, I'm being broke to be healed.

The truth that if God stays at the center of my life in every aspect of my life, then He will put everything into place, including my relationships.

"In the morning, O Lord, You will hear my voice; In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch." —Psalm 5:3

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
