To whom it may concern:

No matter what you look like or what your background is, we all know you have only one true goal in life. Yes, maybe you have other goals, but this one in particular is the sum of the many. They all stem back to this one, universal goal. That is; to be happy.

With only one sincere hope of prosperity in sight, sometimes you can get lost in the chaos of trying to please yourself. I am here to tell you that you don't have to try and please yourself all the time; because, there is a much greater being in the works who will take that burden from you. And HE will use that burden you are so desperate to rid yourself of, to bring YOU happiness.

Some people will spend most of their life trying to uncover a sense of happiness that is simply not there, nor will it ever be. Some people will waist away as their only goal is to live a happy life, one in which they will never live. Some people will use their life savings to purchase material items that will never succeed in filling the void, they never even knew was empty.

Will this be you?

Psalm 37:4 says, "Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." You will never find happiness, because you are searching for it in all the wrong places. The truth is, the only real happiness comes from the Lord. When you choose to "let go and let God," you will find yourself falling into a feeling of happiness and joy, you never knew you were capable of obtaining.

Don't be the person who spends the entirety of your life searching for happiness, when you have yet to fully open your eyes. When you live a life that is lacking in the Holy Spirit, you will NEVER find happiness. At least, not true, everlasting, and worry-free happiness.

Set yourself apart from the crowd, and put your faith in something that is real, in something that is true, and just. Put your faith in something that is so much bigger that your own understanding, something that surpasses all of your worldly knowledge. Put your faith and your hope in God, and I promise that you will find eternal happiness.

2 Corinthians 12:10 says, "That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." You may not always feel joyful throughout your life, especially when you face trials and tribulations; which you will face many! But, you can and will always feel happy in your walk with the Lord. And that is something that will NEVER fade, not with the setting of the sun each day, nor with the last breath you will ever draw. Because, when you choose the Lord, over the world, you will find everlasting peace, and through that, pure happiness. So be patient in your understanding, and allow yourself to let go and put your trust in a love that won't weaken and will certainly never fail.


Sincerely,

Your sister in Christ

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.
