Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
This is the second post in the Thriving at College blog post series, and I'm excited to share several more tips with you about succeeding in college. These tips will hopefully benefit you as you're starting (or preparing to start) college. Here are five tips to help you thrive.
I was super anxious about starting college and maintained intense dread about it for several months. But when my college drop-off day actually arrived, it was less dramatic than I thought it would be. It was definitely difficult, but I was okay—and you'll be okay, too. Even if you're beyond worried about starting college, I believe that you'll be fine. And over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some tips with you that I’ve found helpful as I've begun to adjust to college life, including these three tips.
Hi friends! Today's post was written by blogger Kori and is about how God worked in the life of David. I know that you'll find hope and encouragement in this guest post.
We're quick to pull out our phones to check notifications, send messages, and scroll through social media. But are we quick to listen to other people when they speak up? Are we quick to reach out to people who are typically ignored by everyone else? Are we quick to build others up with our words and actions? Sadly, we're not.
That's why Proverbs 16 is such a comfort to me. I don't have to worry about the future because God directs my steps. No matter what happens, I can trust that God will open the right doors at the right times.
What will I do when I’m forced to be with people constantly? What will happen when I’m only able to see my family once a month for very short periods of time? What will be my fate as an introverted freshman who's terrified of making new friends? What if I can't "do" college?
Normally, my focus during church worship services isn't actually worship. But why do I struggle to focus? Why can't I ponder the words that I'm singing? Am I the only one who has trouble concentrating on God?
The focus of this poem is pride—a sin that is addressed many times in Scripture yet is often treated lightly by Christians. Sadly, many Christians focus more on building their platforms and being in the spotlight than on glorifying God. But that's not what we're called to do, friends. We're called to humble ourselves and point people to Christ alone.
I wanted to wish you a happy 4th of July and encourage you to walk in the freedom of Christ on this momentous day. Thank God for setting us free from bondage as a nation and as sinners. Happy 4th of July, friends!
