Gods promises. They are beautiful gifts and serve as very important things in your life. They often come from great prayer, and worship. They are unseen in that God loves to give surprises. He likes to give us things that are operational in His will, things that serve a purpose for His bigger pursuits. God’s heart is often engraved in the things He promises us. They are not the light at the end of the tunnel, but they are small particles of that light. God is the light.


Just as it states in His word, Philippians 4:19, “but my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.” These promises are part of His pursuit. They are the epitome of Him. Psalm 37:4, “take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” They are the desires for a heart that chooses to desire Him.

I remember praying fervently for the things that God has given me. I remember when God revealed what He has promised for me. Often this happened in the moments that I sought Him and His will for my life. Always remember, when you seek God’s will: His Will will run after you. Some nights I remember staying up just to hear from Him. I remember worshiping Steffany Gretzinger all the while the Holy Spirit was speaking His promises over me. God often does that in the time that you need it. When discouragement or loss of strength occur in your life, He will often show up and remind you of those promises.

Maybe His promises are for your finances, or your health, or your relationships. Maybe God wants to heal your heart or heal your mind. Whatever God has promised to you, I want to encourage you. Those promises are coming to past in your life. They will come in God’s timing and they will come. Your waiting season is almost over, sons and daughters. As it is coming to a close, continue to delight yourself in the Lord. And when discouragement takes over, speak the word and His promises over yourself. As you conform to God’s will, He will perform the things that He desires for your life.

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.
