If you're anything like me you've just finished school and you're super excited to be on break. You'll be able to sleep in, spend time with friends and family, and have more free time to just have fun. However, there's something about when you just get out for school that makes it feel like it isn't quite time for Christmas yet. Well here are 11 Bible verses to put you in the holiday spirit.

1. Isaiah 9:6

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called WonderfulCounselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."

2. Romans 15:13

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit.

3. Luke 2:14

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

4. James 1:17

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change."

5. Isaiah 7:1

"Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel."

6. Philippians 2:5-7

"Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men."

7. John 8:42

"Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me."

8. Luke 2:20

"And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them."

9. Luke 2:16

"And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger."

10. John 1:14

"The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

11. Galatians 4:4-5

"God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship."

I hope these help put you in the holiday spirit. I encourage you to enjoy the time you have with your friends and family, but remember the reason for the season. Enjoy your time together.

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.

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.
