You Have To Get Rid Of The Bad For The Good To Come

God wants the best for you; Are you ready for him to take over?

You Have To Get Rid Of The Bad For The Good To Come
Tamesha Benson

I believe there comes a point in all our lives when we realize that not every person who comes into our lives is going to have positive effects on us. Their negative presence can start to change how we think and act. However, when God sends those “right” people, you can’t imagine life without them.

“Do not be misled: 'Bad company corrupts good character.'” 1 Corinthians 15:33

God has a way of sending people in your life that not only love you but encourage and support you. They are those people who only want the best for you. God wants the best for you. He loves you. So, do not settle for bad friends, bad love, or bad vibes.

“When Job’s three friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite, heard about all the troubles that had come upon him, they set out from their homes and met together by agreement to go and sympathize with him and comfort him.” Job 2:11

Those “right” people God sends, are there for you even when you do not know you need them there. They listen to you and offer you positive feedback and love. Your friends shouldn’t judge you or make you feel bad about a decision.

“Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.” Ephesians 4:29

The last two years God has blessed me with amazing friends. I had to take a look at my life and see the toxic people that were in it and ask God to get rid of them. Once you can identify the people, you can allow God to fill it with the “right” people. God ultimately wants the best for you. He loves you. You deserve people who love you and support you. Don’t Settle!

“The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.” Proverbs 12:26

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.
