We Are All Part Of His Story, Even Though We Don't Know The Ending

Having faith in something does not always mean you can see it.

We Are All Part Of His Story, Even Though We Don't Know The Ending
Savanna Stevie

Just because you can't see something does not mean you shouldn't believe. People always say that seeing is believing, which is true, but that is not the case here.

You do not have to believe in God, but almost all of us believe in something much greater than us.

Some of those things we may actually be able to see, but in the case of God, we cannot.

The word, "faith," simply means that we put all of our trust into God, and trust that he will lead us to our true happiness. Many people say that they believe in God, but the biggest problem we have as human beings is since we cannot see Him, we do not fully trust His plan.

It does make it much harder to put all of your trust into something you have never even seen, but that is where the power of prayer comes into play. God hears and answers all of our prayers. Sometimes, He answers them in a different way than we expected, but they always get answered.

It is crazy to us that something can be so powerful and almighty, but think of the person you are today. Think of how many obstacles you conquered to turn you into the person you are today.

Whenever I am going through a hard time, I think to myself, that this is exactly where God intended for me to be.

The challenges we face are all part of the journey as we follow God into eternal life. The hard times we go through are meant to make us stronger, mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Life would be so boring if we didn't have to work for anything.

No one would become smarter or stronger if that were the way life worked. The next time something bad happens to us, we need to remember that it isn't the end of the world, and the power of prayer can work miracles.

Seeing is not always believing.

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.

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.
