As it says in 1 Peter 5:7, "Cast all your cares on Him because He cares about you." I hope this series of letters will help you or someone you know!

Dear Person Trying to Find Yourself,

I want to start by saying that I have been there. I have felt like I didn't have a purpose or any idea of what I wanted to do with my life. At one point, I wanted to be a meteorologist.

Briefly, I wanted to be a forensic scientist because shows like The Flash made it look cool. In the end, I chose to become a math teacher. I felt like God was leading me toward a life of being an example to others, and a person who helps others succeed in life.

My point is, it's okay to not know what you want for your life. However, what God wants for your life is so much bigger than anything you or I could ever fathom! He wants to grant us eternal life through His son Jesus. He wants a future for you that glorifies and honors Him.

What does this mean? It means that, despite where you may be in life, God is with you all the way. Think about the poem "Footprints in the Sand." The writer asks God where He was in the times he needed Him most.

That's where God says, "My child, that is where I was carrying you." No matter what you are facing, God is with you! Whether you are indecisive as to whether you want to be a doctor or a teacher or a meteorologist, or you are struggling to find yourself in any other way, God has your back all the way!

Remember that no matter what you face in life, God is there to carry you through! Whatever you are struggling with, God will not fail you. I will enclose a video that talks about laminin, and it comes from a preacher named Louie Giglio. In the message that he talks about laminin, he is speaking about the many pieces of evidence and reason why God cares about us and exists. I hope this helps you in some way.

I hope this letter helps you out. I hope this reminds you that our God is bigger than the struggles we face. Remember 1 Peter 5:7.

God Bless.

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.
