This Advent, I'm Letting God Be God in My Life

I have been so content with my life lately, and it honestly is because I am letting God work in my life.

This Advent, I'm Letting God Be God in My Life
Mariel Ramos

As a major Jesus-loving Catholic, I told God that He can wreck my life and rock my world for all of Advent, which can be interpreted as a "mini-Lent."

The season of Advent for all Christians is a beautiful season, and one aspect of it is that it's the "season of waiting". I have been so content with my life lately, that right now I am open to whatever it is that God has in store for me. For example, I am single, and in this season of waiting, I want to be patient and build my relationship with God, before He brings a guy to me. I truly want to let God be God in my life, and for Him to wreck my life and rock my world, bringing myself closer to Him.

As an impatient person, I need to learn how to wait and to accept the moment as it is. There are so many good things and blessings in my life at the moment, that I just want to thank God for all that He is giving me. I love all of the friends in my life right now, and as a friend-oriented person, I truly believe that these friendships are a way of feeling God's love and His graces.

Choosing Jesus is and has been the best decision of my life, and He has been giving me so much joy and fulfillment recently. I have been so content, that I have been loving Him more and more every day, which is one reason why I want to let Him work in my life this Advent.

In this season of waiting, I want to bring myself closer to Him. God gives us so much joy and peace more than we could ever imagine. He gives us the desires of our heart that work in the good of our favor, never too early, never too late.

I can't wait to see how He will work in my life during this Advent.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
