What it looks like after Graduation

Faith is realizing that what we do and what we say in life is nothing in comparison to who we are in light of Christ.

What it looks like after Graduation

"So what are you going to do in May once you graduate college?"

The award winning question that is asked to me quite frequently when I share that I am a senior, slowly preparing to graduate. This question is both stressful and funny all at the same time. The stressful part is the answer that is an oh-so-strong "I don't have a single clue." The funny part is that I know that I don't need to have a clue.

Faith is realizing that what we do and what we say in life is nothing in comparison to who we are in light of Christ.

Now don't get me wrong, I desire deeply to know what my calling is and where God wants me to follow Him. However, I also have to remember that His calling and plans for my life will never go away until He is ready for them to. That gives me the most peace in knowing that God will always remain with me.

I may not know what I want to do in ministry when I graduate, but I do know that I have a heart filled with passions to share the hope that we have in Jesus. That hope is what drives my longing to serve Him, and I trust that His plans are greater than any of my own.

I know that I am not the only one who struggles with calling and figuring out what their purpose is in life. I challenge you this week to pray to God and ask Him to give your heart the patience to wait for His will to line up with your will. I can assure you that I pray this continuously and that it is not an easy battle. However, the end result in God reaching out to your heart is so much greater than allowing yourself to sit in the worries of "what more should I be doing right now". Instead, focus more on the "what more should I be seeking towards God for?"

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
