Learn To Trust God Through The Seasons Of Life
Sadie Stevens

“Seasons” have to do with different times in our lives and what we have going on at that point or where we “feel” like we are. Seasons can be dry, happy, exciting, depressing, tough, and are FULL of ups and downs. These different times can also be a time of growth in the different areas of our lives and can be used to help us grow, within ourselves but, also in The Lord.

The good thing about these seasons is they come and go. They don’t all last forever and you get to learn valuable lessons that help you get to the next season. That way, with these lessons you are able to grow. It’s important to remember ALL these different seasons are a beautiful thing as they help us grow and become who Jesus TRULY wants us to be. Growing and going through different seasons is a part of life.

I hope you can learn to be content in whatever season He may have you in and don’t try to rush it, when you rush season’s its so easy to miss something that you were supposed to learn and move to fast to try to get into the next season.

When trouble strikes and our hearts grow faint, we often forget the great love our Father in Heaven has for us and can doubt the goodness of God toward us. When that happens, we begin to be consumed by our stress and our fears, and we may blame God. When we follow God's formula and recall His great love for us, reminding ourselves daily of His compassion toward us, our hearts then gain strength. God knows the daily need we have to remember His kindness toward us in the middle of our unkind circumstances, so He calls us to focus on it every morning. His compassions that never fail us are His resources to carry us through our day, no matter how hard it gets.

Has hope, peace, and strength vanished in the wind of your storm? His peace, His strength, His wisdom, His understanding, His hope will become yours as you ask Him for it — whatever you need today will become yours supernaturally. As you lean into His great love for you today, and lean on His resources, you will not be consumed, you will not be crushed.You will find Him faithful step by step by step — that's trusting.

You don't need to doubt the love and the goodness of God towards you. He doesn't promise a season of storm-free life, but He does promise to be the anchor in the storm so that you will not be overcome! Trust Him daily. Trust Him hourly and learn to trust Him moment by moment. His resources will not only get you through, but you will truly grow to experience Him as the source of overflowing hope "by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Trust Him. He is our faithful God!

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.

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.
