Be Still.

We all feel a little lost sometimes, but God promises us that He is always right there with us.

Be Still.

I know I am not the only one in my life who feels lost at times. We have all been there, and a lot of us are there at this very moment. Guess what? I am the one that feels lost right now.

We all feel as if life is falling apart, as if things aren't going the way we want, as if we try so hard for things, and it seems like it goes nowhere... like we are stuck and want to completely fall apart... and honestly, give up. Now if you're like me, you ask God, "Why? Why is this happening to me?" I know I'm not the only one.

As my wedding approaches, I'm having to search for jobs. And I will be the first to tell you, it has been hard. It has been frustrating and tiring... especially when you have no experience outside of working with children. I have felt like I have continuously tried and tried, and I feel like giving up.

Until tonight, October 31, 2020.

In the past week, I have been reminded of something... do not give up. I have had many people say, "It's going to be okay.", "God has you where He wants you.", "It will happen when it's supposed to." And you know what? They're right. God has me where He wants me. I've been frustrated and upset for the past month because nothing has seemed to go my way with the job searching but guess what? IT'S OKAY.

I received a sweet and precious gift from a sweet and precious friend. It was a cute coffee cup that says, "Be still and know." (Psalms 46:10).

So, what exactly does that mean? It literally means to be still and know that GOD is in control. To know that God has a plan for you. To know that His plans are most likely not our plans even when we don't believe it.

All I am saying is be still... in the good times, and in the bad times. I promise everything will be okay. God works everything for HIS good, not ours.

And when you listen to God when He speaks, mountains will be moved... promise.

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.
