THE FINAL CHAPTER: Senior Year

 


THE FINAL CHAPTER

 

I am starting my senior year of college Monday, which is truly hard to fathom right now. It does not feel real. Just yesterday, I posted about my high school graduation pictures. Right? The reality is that these years have flown by and have been more challenging than expected.

 

College has taught me more than higher education. It has shown me the depths of my personality, newfound strength, and unexpected ambition. I have had to rely on myself for my good grades and support. One of the most valued weapons I have discovered in college is how well I can do while feeling alone. Loneliness started as a negative thing for me entering college, and over time it became this drive to do well for myself. Seeking how I can be the best version of myself through God's strength and grace has been my driving source. Being alone in ways of friends and dating can be a blessing. I have learned to love the independence I have in myself and that I can see outcomes of my hard work that was doubted by many going into college. 

 

Any season of life can be a blessing in many facets. 

 

Finding time in my loneliness has opened doors for closer family relationships, unexpected good grades, and discovering who I truly am in Christ without distractions. And seeing how much God has molded me thus far shows how much more I still will grow during my senior year of college. I will continue to hold on to the promises God states in Scripture and witness the beauty of this season of my life.

 

Cheers to SENIOR YEAR.

My Testimony

Hello everyone, my name is Hannah, and this is my story. I’m a college student, artist, sister, and daughter, but most importantly, I’m a born-again Christian. What is a Christian? A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus came into this earth perfect, flawless, and lived a sinless life. Jesus not only lived a perfect life, but He sacrificed Himself for us and rose from the grave three days later. Jesus is the Son of God who created you and me and has sacrificed His Son for His children in hopes that we would believe in Him. This is what was instilled in my family ever since I could remember. I live with my loving parents and my older brother who are also Christians, and at the age of four years old, I also surrendered my life to Jesus. I wanted to know, experience, and live out that same forgiveness and love that Jesus offered the rest of my family. Life, however, has its ups and downs. Christians are viewed as perfect people who have no fear or ...

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

  Unpopular opinion: Pinterest is one of the superior social media platforms.   I have far too many pins to count and have grown a flourishing collection of aesthetic images and cute outfits. On Pinterest is where I find both faith-based and generic quotes. I like to save these pins to a specific board so that one day I can go back and make it my phone lock-screen or write them in my calligraphy style. Often enough, quotes will stand out to me. In this case, I have heard this quote from multiple different platforms, and every single time I see it, I ask myself the question:  When was the last time you did something for the first time? I have had a lot going on in my life the last month; things I would never like to experience again and situations that made me strong. During that time, I realized my anxiety about focusing on the future. I have struggled with this since my senior year of high school, and I think this battle never really went away. Over the last six m...

2023 Word of the Year

2023 = Confidence   After thinking over different words for a few weeks, I have settled on  Confidence  for my 2023 Word of the Year. The word I chose for 2022 perfectly fit the phases of my life I was going through and how I wanted to respond to those situations with  Kindness . In 2023 I want to carry on the progress I have already worked on from 2022 by finding godly confidence in all I do and who I am. In other words, I want to become confident in Christ and who God is creating me to be. With the plans set before me in 2023, this year will push me beyond my comfort zone, and I pray I will experience confidence in God's plan and my self-image. Typically when I choose a word, I want it to relate to Scripture; otherwise, my choice is in vain. Here are a few Scripture verses that came to mind when picking Confidence . Hebrews 13:6 "So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?" Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things th...
