Timing

Time is everything in our lives, but do you trust God's timing?

Timing.

Timing is everything. Just take a moment to think about it. If you're late to a job interview, chances are, you won't get the job. Waking up on time to make it to your dreaded 8 am class. Running late to work making you avoid the fender bender just ahead of you if you would've left in time. Waiting to get married, until you are sure it's your time.

As I sit here tonight, all I can think about is time.

In an attempt to get to what I am trying to say here: God does not fail you. God does not let you down. Even if you do not understand, Gods timing is perfect. I learned this all from a friend.. who over time, has never left my side. She has been a friend through two deaths in the family, deaths of our peers, heartbreaks, lost friendships, moving to different cities, just simply drifting apart. While I'm not saying we were ever at a point where we weren't close, because we've always been close... It can just be difficult to keep up a strong friendship while living two different lives.

When you have prayed, and prayed, and prayed... and you just feel like you do not know what to do anymore. that's when God reveals himself. I sit here, on this lonely night, and overthink. Anxiety is a pain, you know. My brain never stops. It goes on, and on, and on, and on, and I think you get the point now. While my brain is thinking and I felt so alone, I get a text; so simple but yet everything I needed. It was your typical, hey I miss you!

That's when I knew.

You can think I'm crazy, I don't mind. But in that moment, God listened to me. He knew I needed someone. I had cried (some due to Greys Anatomy), prayed, and sat while overthinking for quite some time. I was kind of over it by then until I got that text. A simple, I miss you, turned into one of the most heartfelt and deepest conversations I have ever had. Having such a strong bond with someone who is a follower of the Lord, is the greatest blessing I could ask for.

So my point here, do not give up. On yourself, on the people you love, on God. God's timing is never wrong. If you've ever seen Grey's Anatomy, you'll get this reference-

Just trying to lighten the mood a little. She's my person. And when I needed her, she was there, and she didn't even know I needed her.

God's timing.... get it?


God does not leave you. He is listening. His time will never fail you.


It's all about the timing people, when it's time for his plan, maybe for your person to "check on you" without them knowing that is what they're about to do, it'll happen. Keep praying. God is with you, trust his timing.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
