Remember the blessings of the last season but don't mourn over it.

The very first thing that you must know is that it's going to be okay.

Change can make you feel like you're loosing air to breathe, your mind fills with thoughts of torment, your heart races. Without change, we will never know what we are capable of. We will never know what else was out there.

This week, I'm speaking to myself honestly. When an end is coming to a season, it's just weird, it hurts. My season is that, at my school, there was this Bible study that was given to me to lead my junior year. It first began my sophomore year. It totally changed my life, it just seemed so great. God had given me so many ideas and vision. When it was handed down to me, there was so much expectation not only for me but for what would come of the bible study. It wasn't the same. There were so many factors that played into why I felt like the Holy Spirit was speaking to me to step away.

Jesus says that He is our lamp to our feet and light to our path. With those lights, He is guiding us with His light, truth, and love. We may feel like we are surrounded by darkness and we might be, but Jesus is with us.

How to know a season is ending.

The very first thing is that you will notice is that there are different people. With new people in a situation, they bring different things that God has given them. The atmosphere will seem odd due to the new talents and gifts of those people. Another hint that a season is ending is that some object outside of your control is present. Perhaps someone had a car wreck, maybe you unexpectedly got a job promotion. What ever it is, because of that new thing that has entered your life, old routines of life and emotions are different. Going along, to know that a season is ending, things just aren't working out like they used to. The most important factor to knowing that something is changing in your life is that you have to listen to the Holy Spirit. He is your guide and will tell you in your spirit.

What to do in the time of transition.

In this time of transition into your new season, you have to run to Jesus. Let your mind be contently filled with the truth of Jesus. A lot of times, the enemy will send fear to you, because better is yet to come! When the devil tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness, He fought back with scripture. Keep your close Christian friends around you for support of this time. Be thankful for what blessings came from your last season, but don't mourn over it. Every season that you go through has a precise purpose and is part of a divine plan for your life! Be embracing what's to come and pray for that season. I know that sounds weird, but be praying for whatever worries you have, proclaim that blessings will be more abundantly than the last!

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.
