Trusting God

We may not see Him, but he is there.

Trusting God

As Christians, we tend to label some bible verses as “generic.” The problem with this is there is no generic bible verse. God inspired these words to speak us, and it just happens that these “generic” bible verses tend to speak to the masses more than others. Instead of labeling these verses “generic” we should label them as “irreplaceable” or “unwavering.” Matthew 19:26 is one of those verses. It says "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."

This bible verse is just as steady as our God. It explains that while something may be impossible to men all things are possible through God. This can be taken at the surface level of how God can help us through our everyday life when things seem to be going against us, or it can be taken as God can do wonders that we cannot even begin to comprehend because they are not possible to us. This verse is a reminder to us that God can work these amazing miracles in our lives if we will let Him. Just because we cannot reach something does not mean that God cannot reach it for us no matter how big or small.

My family has a lot of health issues. Our main health issues are found in our backs. I could list each and every one but it would take the rest of this article and I wouldn’t want to bore you with that. It started back when my whole family was in a terrible car accident. At the time, it seemed like the worst thing that could have happened to us, but God had a plan. We found out all the conditions that my brother had in his back that could have potentially paralyzed him if he got hit in the wrong place during football. After a year of treatment, the doctor told him he had done all he could do and that he would have to live with the pain. We felt shattered and helpless so we turned to God in prayer. After therapy and multiple trips to the chiropractor, the pain started to slowly go away and a year later when he went to the doctor he was shocked to find that my brother’s back was in amazing shape and he released him to play basketball and later football.

A few years down the road my dad was diagnosed with his back issues and had to have surgery right away so that he would not become paralyzed. The surgeon was not very optimistic. Again we felt hopeless and turned to God in prayer. While my dad is nowhere near able to walk without help, the important thing is that he can still walk. He may need a walker and a scooter, but he is not paralyzed. I have some of the problems that they have, and it does not look very good, but I have seen many miracles through God and I know that while it is not possible through man that God can take away our pain and regenerate our backs.

As a family, we have a favorite song that my mom would sing to us in church. The words say “when you cannot trace his hands, trust His heart.” This is what I will keep doing and I encourage you to keep trusting His heart.

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.

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.
