What God Is Really Giving You When He Gives You An Older Sister

When God Gives You An Older Sister

The dictionary defines sisters as "a woman or girl in relation to other daughters and sons of her parents." That is the most broad basically inaccurate description I have ever read. I am most certain when God saw me he knew there were two things I needed 1. A loving family and 2. A sister. He gave me a loving family that came with giving me a sister and over the years I have learned all of the gifts that have come from God giving me a sister.

When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will watch cartoons with you every weekend morning.When I was younger my sister and I would watch Arthur, Rugrats, and Power Puff Girls together every weekend without fail.


When God gives you a sister he gives you a tutor, doctor and body guard by the time you are 5. My sister picked me up off of the pavement with tears down my face and scrapes on my arms, took me home put band-aids on me and made sure the tears were dry. Having an older sister means from the time you are 5 you have someone who will protect you against anyone from and anything.From the time you are learning colors and numbers your older sister is by your side helping you learn and helping through the dreaded math sheets.


When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will judge your boyfriends and make sure they are good enough for you. I have always been protective of my older sister in this area, she deserves the world and through her finding a great guy I have found approval and I couldn't be more happy watching their relationship. It's hard having someone pass the certain "tests" you set up in your mind of the person your sister deserves to be with and when they have found someone who surpasses your expectations it is a beautiful thing.


When God gives you a sister he gives you someone who will be hard on you but always have your best interest at heart . My sister has been right about a lot most of the time. Even through me thinking she was being "mean" I have come to understand that being my older sister it's her job to care, and she does a great job at it. She has always been honest with me and has always tried helping lead me down a right path. Each time I have needed someone she has always been there.

When God Gives you a sister he gives you someone that will be by your side forever and a best friend. God never gives you something you don't need, a sister is something I need to have in my life and thankfully having a sister means she will be in my life forever. She will be my maid of honor the day I get married, she will be my children's God Mother and she will always be on my side even when it feels like the world is against me.

So tell me how exactly a "sister" could be summed up by the definition the dictionary says?

It can't.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
