While I wait, I grow strong!

I recognize and work diligently daily to correct any wrongs.

I build mentally and physically increasing in both strength and intellect.

I hold my head up high.

Don’t worry, it's not because of pride; but, because I know I am a child of the Most High.

While I wait, I stay in position; humbled heart in prayer.

Behind me are the things that are no more and will never be.

I am confident the new me has morphed into a woman whose lips pray for peace.

While I wait, memories of the past fade into the abyss.

I let go of the things that should be revised.

I thank God for this path he has for me.

I reflect and would not change a thing. I am happy being me.

Most importantly, I know who the Son sets free is no longer bound, but truly free.

While I wait, I keep working to build His kingdom.

I share what I know and how you too can obtain this freedom.

I constantly exam my heart for pain.

Thankfully, I continue to find that the pain has blossomed into His gain.

While I wait, I scream thank you, Lord, for always loving me.

I say thank you, Jesus, for your blood covers me.

I smile acknowledging the Holy Spirit who is providing comfort for me.

While you look, you see a shell,

And, you perceive, not knowing for sure,

But, you think you know all the different aspects of me.

While you look, you may wonder,

What are the thoughts she thinks that makes her press on accomplishing goals with determination? And as a result, makes her better.

However, as you watch,

I pray you see Christ-like resemblances.

And those attributes prompt you to desire knowledge and truth.

Tomorrow is not promised. Time is at hand.

Come and find out how you can reconcile back to the Father. You too can be safe in his hands.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
