Reflection

Awaits with bated breath! That is such a fantastic idea, don’t you think? That phrase seems to be an oxymoron. It is not that. Imagine a groom standing at the end of the aisle, anticipating the arrival of his wife. Imagine for a moment that you are the parents of a child who is about to be born. Think back to how excited you were as a kid to get your presents on Christmas morning. Awaits with bated breath! This is what creation, which is so entangled with deterioration, catastrophe, and death, is accomplishing! And what is it that creation is so eagerly anticipating? Our metamorphosis and the unveiling of who we are as the victorious and wonderful children of God. It seems like a pretty amazing possibility for a time and world like ours.

My Prayer

I yearn for the day, O Lord, God of all creation and the source of all redemption, when every tear will be dried up and my bondage to decay will come to an end. Please help me keep my focus on the glory that will be shown when Christ comes back to earth. I humbly pray to you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

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.
