What the Bible taught me about being paitent

21
So Ready
Kara Phillips

"I'm so done."

This term is frequently used in modern society. This is especially true for the teenage population. Teens are "so done" with about everything from their grades to other people nowadays.

Does this have something to do with our impatient tendencies? Is there a group at school or a teacher that get on your nerves? What if you could ease that unrest by reading some truth? In Ephesians chapter 4, Paul tells us to "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." He tells us to bear one another in love! Even that teacher you can't seem to impress or those girls who talked about you behind your back deserve to be loved. You're all brothers and sisters in the eyes of Christ!

Our God watches everyone of us fall to sin every single day. He watches us walk away from him but is right there when we need him again no matter how long it takes. He hasn't given up on us though! He never will because of his great patience and grace. He knows people make mistakes, but he sees past that and looks at us through perfect eyes.

What if we could have such grace towards the people around us? The more positive relationships we have with the people around us, the more God can shine his light through us.

We should eliminate the term "I'm so done" and turn it around. We should say something like "I'm so ready". You can say, "I'm so ready to have a good day," or "I'm so ready to love others," instead of the depressing phrase "I'm so done". Who wants to be sad? Let's get happy and love others because Christ loves us so much more!!!

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.
