To The Person (Now 'My Person') Who Showed Me My Heart, Thank You
Bailey Welshans

To the person who showed me my heart:

I can never express all the things you've done to impact my life in the years we've known each other, but there are a few words to express my gratitude toward you.

Thank you:

For leading me into a life of freedom and grace. You show me the true meaning of living in freedom with Jesus, simply by the grace you offer others. You extend your right arm to the sound of a desperate voice, and do all you can to fix the situation with love.

For deeming impossibility not a thing, and looking at every situation with positive eyes. There are some days that make it impossible to see the positive side of things, and once I bring them to you, you show me there is more to look forward to in the future. You steady my confidence in a way that is not tangible.

For rejoicing over little victories as if they were your own. Every small blessing is talked about between us, and you shadow my small victories as though they were given to you -- and get as excited as I am.

For showing me there is so much more beauty in my own soul than I could ever see on my own. You see every picture before it goes online, and when I start to pick out the small flaws that I see, you tear them off and cover them with the truth.

For shutting down my doubt, and reassuring my confidence. You bring out a side of me that I don't even know about. With gentleness, you offer me an new start and perspective.

For challenging my fears, and walking me through them.

For observing the dreams inside my heart, and with unwavering belief, pushing me to achieve them. When I start to believe my dreams are too big to achieve, and are an epic failure, you speak purpose back into them by showing me Jesus is still working on them.

For putting aside your own feelings, and pain, to paint love over mine. You always put my problems in front of yours, and with love, walk me through my frustration before I know of yours. Your tenderness will always be the best part about you.

Lastly, for carrying around astonishing love for people, and showing the extraordinary grace of Jesus.

I am humbled to even know you, let alone be friends with you. You are kind in the most beautiful way. You speak life into my heart even when yours is hurting, and that takes a special kind of person. My faults are known to you, and I'm safe with that. You're home to me.

I forever thank God for the opportunity of calling you my best friend. You will be the person standing next to me on my wedding day, holding my bouquet and fixing my dress. You will be the person my children call "Auntie," and I know that they will love you as much as I do.

My heart aches at the distance between us, but I trust that our plans of owning our own apartment together are just around the corner. There is no doubt you are intentional, and God sure did bless me when He gave me the ability to love you. You are faithful, generous, and truthful. Those things are rare to find these days, but I have the privilege to have them wrapped in a five foot, five inch package.

Sincerely,

Your Person

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.

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.

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.
