after the rain comes the RAINBOW

Dear You,

You played me, you manipulated me, and you gave me a false sense of hope. You made me believe that you loved me and that you wanted to be with me always. You made me believe that we were forever. But, those, those were all lies. They were all lies for you to get inside my head and heart, all lies to help you get what you wanted, to help you make the past jealous. These were all things that, for so long, I was upset and angry with you for. But now, looking back, I couldn't be anymore grateful.

I'm so beyond grateful for all of those things plus more. I'm so grateful that you broke me, because in that brokenness I found my true self. I found the woman I was intended to be, the woman that God had planned for me to become. I grew in my relationship with Christ more in that brokenness than ever before and I have nothing but your ugliness to thank for that. I'm thankful for you treating me so terribly so that I could realize just how much I truly deserve! I knew God had always promised me someone amazing and your hurting me showed me just how much I actually deserved that amazing person.

I'm thankful for the fact that I now have the man God made for me and I am able to enjoy the little things about him that make him PERFECT for me. I'm thankful that because of the bad treatment i received from you I am now able to truly appreciate his sweet actions and kind words that he speaks to me. All the hurt and pain you caused, the aches that I thought I would or could never get over, all of this gave me the ability to be the perfect woman for him!

So thank you, thank you to the one who broke me for the last time. Thanks to you I am now able to appreciate the GREATEST blessing that God has given me so far. You made me able to most importantly love the one created for me without fault!


Thanks So Much,

The Girl Who Gained More From The Pain You Caused.

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.
