"I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

Here I am

Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I'm longing to see

Your desires revealed in me..." - William McDowell

God has a path for everyone. Despite trials and tribulations, if you let go and allow God to do his will, everything will fall into place. We often try to do what we feel as though is right, without consulting with God. Whether it's a new job, relationship, or opportunity in general-- if things aren't working out after continuously praying to God about it, the situation was not in God's plan.

Everyone has some kind of picture of how we want our lives to be; whether it is a dream, aspiration, or goal. Even though what you want may seem picture perfect to you, it might not be what God intended. It took a ridiculous amount of time for me to realize such thing. After being continuously turned away from something i desperately wanted, I had to accept the fact that it wasn't in God's plan. After thanking him in advance for the opportunities he will put in my life, I was offered an even better plan.

Letting go can be one of the hardest aspects of being a Christian to some. Of course it can be scary, however faith is something that can move mountains. Knowing in your heart that God is going to provide and deliver all of your needs is a feeling that beats no other. Because of the fact that people feel as though they have complete control over their lives, letting go becomes harder. It is impossible for you to be used as a tool without allowing God completely in.

After letting go, and letting God have his way within you, life begins to become clearer. You aren't as stressed as you use to be, and you begin to focus on being a better person. A huge burden is lifted off of your chest. Now, instead of worrying about every aspect of your life, you can focus on thanking God for the things he has put there. God said, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

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.
