A Thank You Letter To God

A Thank You Letter To God
newcastlemale

I want to start off by saying that no matter what I know that I am a failure. I fail you every single day; I am completely imperfect. Many times I have failed you, many times I have lost my way, and every single time you are still there. It’s so amazing to know that no matter how much I mess up, no matter how many mistakes I have made, nothing stops you from loving me or forgiving me.

Life in college is extremely tough at times. I stress most of the time over grades because grades equal GPA, and GPA equals whatever program I’m trying to get in. If my grades aren’t good, my GPA lowers and my chances of getting in my program lower along with it.

Life can be so hectic when you’re twenty years old. With school, work, and homework taking up my days, I go to sleep that night and wake up the next morning to do it all again. I feel like sometimes I get really lost. I forget who I am and I forget to cast my worries on you. I forget to put my full trust in you. Not because you are someone who is easy to forget, simply just because I feel the need to fix it myself… WRONG.

When times get rough I honestly forget to look at the positive side of things. Many times I take the many blessings I am given in this life for granted. For that I am sorry, so I would like to take the time to say thank you. Thank you for the MILLIONS of blessings you have given me. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful and loving support system. Thank you for all of the prayers that went unanswered; I realize now that it wasn’t because you didn’t love me. I realize that it was because you only wanted the best for me, and you knew before I did that it wasn’t what I needed. Thank you for allowing me to live this beautiful life as long as I have, and I am sorry that I take it for granted more often than I should.


There are times when I have to remember this world is just my temporary home. Jobs, money, food, clothes, stress, everything here is temporary. But your promise of our lifetime afterward is permanent. The stress and pain I have endured on this earth will not even be equivalent to the joy and happiness I will feel when I enter those pearly gates to rejoice with you for eternity. Even after all of the reassurance you have given me, though, I still sometimes wonder if I am even doing the right thing with my life. But I have to stop myself because I realize that you have a plan for me. You have planned my whole entire life from before I was even born. Everything that has happened in my life is your will, and because it is your willit is perfect.


It is the most honoring and humbling feeling to know that no matter how many times I mess up, forget to cast my worries, forget to read my bible every night, or even forget to pray because I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. I know that no matter what you love me anyway because you made me. For I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

This letter is literally just to say thank you for the millions of chances you have given me and for loving me through it all... especially on my worst days.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
