Holy Week is just around the corner.

We, as Christians, go through many emotions during this extremely special week. We go through confusion on Maundy Thursday when we take communion just as Jesus did with his disciples, gut-wrenching despair on Good Friday when Jesus was crucified. The sadness continues on Holy Saturday as we yearn for Jesus, and then. pure joy on Sunday when we celebrate His resurrection.

It's an incredible week.

I'm fortunate enough to work at a church where we have a worship service on every day during Holy Week, and you feel every emotion that people feel when you're sitting in the back, taking it all in.

Personally, Easter is my favorite holiday. And worshipping is my favorite thing to do.

I've composed a list of my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter Sunday. They're all powerful, no matter what tempo they're at. It doesn't matter if it's slow or fast, the message gets across, and I wanted to share it with all of you.

I feel in this day and age that we don't focus on our worshipping outside of church, and I definitely fall into that category. Sometimes I'm so busy with school and other commitments that I forget to dedicate just a little time singing to Jesus. As Psalm 95:1 says, "let us sing to the LORD, let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Praising God is one of the most important things we could do, and in this oh so special week of Holy Week, all I want to do is sing.

So without further ado, here are my top 12 favorite songs to sing on Easter:

1. "He Has Won" -- Vertical Church Band

2. "In Christ Alone" -- Passion

3. "Death Was Arrested" -- Northpoint

4. "Build Your Kingdom Here" -- Rend Collective

5. "Resurrecting" -- Elevation Worship

6. "Glorified" -- Jared Anderson

7. "Only Wanna Sing" -- Hillsong Young & Free

8. "Spirit of the Living God" -- Vertical Church Band

9. "Great I AM" -- New Life Worship

10. "Multiplied" -- NEEDTOBREATHE

11. "He is Jesus" -- Northpoint

12. "Fix My Eyes" -- For King and Country

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
