God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things

Those things are for the best.

God Has A Funny Way Of Telling You Things
Jenny Davis

When I first started college, I thought that everything was going to go my way and that I would graduate as a teacher four years later. Well, I guess God had a different plan for me and for my life. Plans that include me, in the middle of my sophomore year, changing my major. I realized through the decision process that I just needed to let go and to let God. I know, I know, people say that all the time, most of the time people just go on about their business. However, if you really do let go and let God, your life will change for the better and here are a few reasons why.

It feels like a weight is lifted off your shoulders

Last year, I thought my I had my plan all figured out but this semester, I felt a calling to change my major. A calling to change my major from Special Education to Christian Ministries. I have truly had a weight lifted off my shoulders when I finally took a leap of faith and talked to people about what I was feeling. A few friends have also told me that they have heard me talk more passionately about serving the Lord through teaching about him here and anywhere than they have ever heard me talk about education. After praying and seeking the Lord's guidance over the past few months, officially changing my major is making me so much more happy about what God is doing in my life!

Your life will change for the best and you will have a better relationship with God

Over the course of praying and seeking guidance, I have become more confident in myself. I have learned that if I want something, I need to pray and see if that is Gods plan for my life, and if it is, He will sure as the world tell me. My life, since I have first started this journey has definitely changed, and I am so glad that it has. I have great friends that support me in everything that I choose to do, and I am forever grateful that I have them in my life!

Your life will have more purpose

Before you even become part of God's kingdom, your life already has a purpose; but, when you become saved, and start doing the things that he tells you. Your life will become better than it ever has been. I would not change anything that I went through while going through this part of my life as Gods daughter. I am forever thankful that I have changed my major, and I can't wait to see where it takes me!

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.
