The Book Of Matthew Is The Best Book In The Bible

Aside from just reading the Bible every day anyway because I want to and spending time with God daily is important to me, I often refer to the Bible when I'm trying to find something to help me get through something I am going through.

When I went through a bad breakup, went and found verses about disappointment and heartbreak. When I have gotten stressed (which is all the time, let's be honest), I went and looked for verses about stress and being overwhelmed.

It's just something I do. I am also a big fan of finding songs, the perfect songs, that describe how I feel in certain situations because I turn to music so much, but that's an entirely other thing.

I have found time and time again, that whenever I'm searching for verses that are relevant for what I am going through, the book of Matthew has something for pretty much everything. I went back and looked at my Bible journal, and I've written about something in Matthew six times this month already. Matthew is THAT book.

There are verses about loving your enemies, praying, and how to do it, stress, anxiety, judgment (and why we shouldn't judge. Some “Christians" needed to hear that), etc. The list goes on and on.

Matthew 7:1-6 is essentially all about not judging Matthew 6:5-8 is essentially all about praying, and how to do it. Matthew 6:25-34 centers around anxiety and not worrying about things.

This one is super important to me and one of my favorites because I have anxiety a lot and I try to combat it by reminding myself that God already has things worked out. I really have to just give it all to him and stop worrying.

Obviously that is easier said than done, but it's what I need to do. There is no point in stressing over things I can't control

I personally think it is so important to find something that you believe in and can rely on, whatever that may be. For me, it just happens to be the word, and more specifically I know I can always rely on Matthew specifically.

Knowing there is going to be an abundance of relevant verses in one book, especially when there are so many books in the Bible, makes it so much easier.

It can be overwhelming to read the Bible or try to find something you're specifically looking for. Having a “go-to" book makes it easier and less daunting of a task.

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.
