​Things That Happen When You Put God at The Center of Your Life
Answers in Genesis

Through good and bad, rocky and smooth, there is only one person I know will get me through everything. He has saved me and made me the woman I am. My life changed when I opened my life up to Him, and here’s how.

You start to see life in a different way.

The little things in life become more beautiful and inspiring. We learn to be more appreciative and understanding of the things and people around us. Life is different, it’s hard to explain, but it’s happier.

The good times are that much better.

When good things happen to us, the first thing we does thank God for His help and guidance. We know that without Him none of this is possible and we are thankful for all He has provided to us.

And the bad times aren’t that bad.

When we put God in the center of our lives we stop questioning why bad things are happening to us and start looking at the bad things as stepping stones to the good. You pray that the bad times will pass and thank God for all the things he’s doing to make you stronger and smarter.

The questions change.

We stop questioning “why did this happen to me,” and start asking “how is this going to shape me into the person I’m meant to be." The questions sound similar, depending on how you ask them, but the meaning is completely different.

When God is at the center of your life, a lot will change. All of it for the good. I know personally, my life would be completely different if I hadn’t opened my life and heart up to the Lord and started living the way he intended me to.

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.
