Am I good enough?

We ask ourselves this question all the time. Whether it be for a new job, in a relationship, even when it comes to being a Christian, we are always doubting our worth. It's commonplace nowadays to let the image of the world get inside our heads and belittle our confidence. People see those "supermodels" in the magazines and think "I'll never look like that"; we see celebrities with all the world given to them and we think, "I bet they have it made; if only I could be like that". Even in our walk with God, we see others Christians and think, "Man, I wish I could pray like that" or "I want that same fire for God that they have!"

I'm here to say today: just be you. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ; that fire and anointing is in all of us. It may need to be stoked from time to time, but it's in there, just waiting for you to let it out. I know that my fire has dimmed more times than I wish to admit. I've let discouragement, life's troubles and other's opinions of me curb my appetite for the Word. But I know that all of that fear, that doubt......that is just the devil trying to trick me. But every day we wake up is another day the Lord has given us to be that difference, to be that light for others! Don't sit on the sidelines waiting for someone to call your number; get out there and take charge!!!! I'm tired of being passive while this world gets further and further away from the Godly values it was founded on. I'm through being a watcher; it's time to be a contributor! Who's ready to take this world and make it something beautiful again? It's in you; it's in all of us. All we have to do is go get it.

So, am I good enough? Yes, because we are made in the image of God, and God is good......all the time

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
