There is a certain magic that comes with knowing God.

There's also an overwhelming joyous feeling knowing that church is not the only place that you can worship and admire the beauty of God.

God's beauty is all around us from the air we breathe to sun in the sky...

The beauty God created is not only in nature, but in and through people too...

Like through the hands of a surgeon whose work is to save lives.

Or through the little old lady at the farmers market selling produce grown from her own garden.

Or maybe in the man who prays every day for a woman who knows God just as well as he does.

Even through the small child who believes God can do anything.

There will be people who say that God can ONLY be appreciated and worshiped from the pews of a church, but that statement is simply NOT true.

Beauty God created can be seen in every flower, tree, stream, and person that exist on this planet.

For generations humans have admired God's work through nature, art, music, writings, volunteer work, hospitals, and even in their own living rooms.

Knowing God and opening your eyes to the beautiful world he has created can be done through ANY aspect of your life, not just sitting on a church pew.

Loving and admiring God is not about where you do it, but with how much passion you do it with.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
