The power to break chains

Praise Him in the storm

Lately I've been going through some situations that look hopeless and I've spent day after day praying, I even fasted. I decreed and declared, knowing that I know these requests line up with God's will, which is the Word of God. I was delivered from demonic strongholds which held me captive because of willful sin in my life.Still, I felt like nothing was changing. I was crying out to God, "what am I missing?" Finally I got my answer, I was snared by the words of my mouth. I was confessing defeat, instead of giving praise for the breakthrough and blessings He wants to give me. I wasn't waiting for Him, He was waiting for me. A perfect example is in 2 Chronicles 20, The Lord told His people this battle is not yours, it is the Lord's, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord with you . All of Judah began to praise and worship God, when they did this, it released God's presence and power. God is so infinitely wise while Judah trusted and praised He sent confusion and fear among their enemies, until they utterly and completely destroyed each other, not one was left standing. In order for Him to fight our battles we have to get out of our own way and trust and obey, even when our natural mind can't conveive how things could possibly change. Limiting beliefs of what He can or will do, how it'll be done, and in what timeframe we prefer will keep us from living the victorious life He wants to give us. If we get off the throne and let him be Lord in our life He'll do it such a way that the enemies we see today, we will never see again!!!

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.
