Dearest Daughter,

I know you are struggling right now, but I’m here to remind you that what you’re doing is part of a much bigger plan- a plan that will be opened to your eyes at my perfect time. Until then, remember these things:

1. You are not alone. Trust Me.

Sweet girl, I am here with you to love you and encourage you. Many times you feel like I have left you, but during those times try to see me in the small things. Who wakes you up in the morning? Who keeps the rain from pouring down when you are outside? Who gives you just enough money to pay your tuition each semester? I do. I carry you through each day and wrap you under my wings. In due time, child, I’ll let you fly.

2. I have given you the ability to succeed. Trust Me.

Can you remember a time when I caused you to fail? Beloved daughter, my hope is that you will reach the potential I see in you. Through my eyes, you are perfect and priceless- flawless. When you chose to follow me, I gave you my power. You have every ability to overcome the challenges before you because My hope and strength lives in you. As you live out the plan I called you to, you will receive My supernatural traits.

3. I will protect you. Trust Me.

Sweetheart, please find peace in the fact that I am here to guide your steps. Can you not feel Me going before you? I trudge your path ahead of you, weeding out difficulty only because I love you. My plan for your life is so hard-this I know- but I will protect you always.

4. I see the difference you're making in others. Trust Me.

When you encouraged your friend the other day, I saw that. When you prayed for your mom, I heard that. When you cried for your sisters, I felt that. Child, I see the good things you are doing. My heart smiles because your acts exhibit kindness and humility. I know it is difficult to do good when nobody is there to pat you on the back, but I see you. Your reward waits in Heaven.

5. Do not doubt my ability. Trust Me.

Have you ever seen the birds of the field? They don’t worry about what they will eat or drink. With boldness, they trust that I will provide for them, and you know what? I provide…every. single. day. Just like I provide for the birds of the field, I will provide for you. Don’t doubt my ability for I am working this all together in my time. Hold onto that promise tightly.

Sweet girl, I love you more than you can comprehend. May you find faith in knowing that I see your heart and know your thoughts. You are doing just fine. The life I built for you is tough, but you have received power to overcome because you trust in Me. Keep fighting the good fight, and soon you will receive your crown. Trust Me, child. Just trust Me.

- God

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.
