Sometimes, Being Lost Means You're Being Found

In the past two months, there has been hardships, struggles, plans that have fallen through and when I thought all was good; it wasn't. I was going through such a dry section of my relationship with the Lord, I felt lost and truly thought that I was just being a failure with not being on top of it. But in reality, I didn't know what "it" was that I was supposed to be on top of it. Any of the major things didn't seem right, and I felt like the Lord was holding a door that I just couldn't see quite yet.

And let me just tell you, I was not only right about this door, but It truly has led me to so many more doors beyond that one single door that seemed so far away. It was so much closer than I thought it was, and this truly opened my eyes up to see that HE is right there with all that is planned for us, but we might not be ready yet.

During my dry spot, there were so many times where I just didn't understand why I felt so dry and uncertain of what was to come. But in end all it took was me setting time aside, and communicating to him what truly was on my heart and giving it all to HIM. He then directed me to the answer that I was so unsure about being found right in front of me. It was always in front me, but he opened my eyes, my heart, and my soul to be strong enough, smart enough and brave enough to never let this door close without me walking through it.

With this being said, ladies and gentleman; sometimes it might seem that you are lost, but truthfully you are being found in ways that he does without us understanding. He knows your heart and what's best for you; give it to him and he will do all that needs to be done.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."

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.
