Trust In Your God

Even when it's hard.

Trust In Your God
Brianna Spence

Sometimes, I sit and wonder exactly why God has some of the events happen in my life that He has. I sometimes also question why He has brought some people into my life and sent others out. There will always be things I don’t entirely understand and I have learned slowly (really slowly) that God has things happen in my life for a reason. He does it to teach me lessons along this adventure He has created called life.

And all though it is sometimes quite easy to complain and whine about the events that are occurring that we have no control in and shouldn’t worry about. I know it’s easy to worry, especially in society today (trust me, even I experience this sin). However, I also have learned slowly over time that God is in control and that sometimes (almost always) a simple prayer can make all the difference on my worry and my anxiety. Knowing the creator of the world, I shouldn’t have these little fears and worries. I should put my whole trust in Him. And some days, this is easier than it can be and others it’s more and more difficult.

But no matter how many stressful days I have and no matter how many times I feel like I’m falling away from God and that I am losing my trust, all I have to do is say a little prayer. Send a girl a short text and it doesn’t take long till I’m feeling on track again with following my Savior. And the more I begin to think about it if I was given a different life to live. If I was given a life without the “struggles” I have been given. A life without the people that already walked out of my life that way, I never would have known them or suffered the pain they caused. A life where I never suffered any pain in general, would I take it? Would you? But thinking about it, my life hasn’t been all bad. Yes, I’ve been hurt a time or two, and questioned some things that were happening, but in all honesty, my life is special. I am blessed in more ways than I can count. God created my life the way He did for a reason, and knowing that, I wouldn’t change a moment of it in the world.

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.

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.
