Let's make a difference.

People are just so great. I can't get over it. Each person is made differently, so unique, it's beyond beautiful. There is a story behind each and every person, a story that we are all still walking through. We are all human. We all make mistakes. Mistakes are what we can grow from; a mistake does not define someone. We are called to love one another the way Christ loves us. and He loves us beyond what we can even imagine. He loves every flaw, every feature, and most importantly- everything that we don't like about ourselves. God is full of love. and we should be too

I want to be full of love, in every circumstance. I want to love others even if that means they won't love me back. I want to see others being touched by REAL love. I want to see RADICAL change in my community, and in my city. We are called to love everyone, and that means everyone. Wouldnt it be too easy to only love the people that loved us first? What love really means is to love someone wholeheartedly and take the risk that they might not love you back. Jesus did this. Jesus loved people who cursed Him, hated him, and He loved the people that killed Him. His heart was so pure, so pure for The Lord.

God's love touches people in such a HUGE and drastic way. and we may not even realize it. A simple encouraging word for someone, buying someone's coffee, helping a lady with her groceries across the street, giving a homeless man some change, and just listening to how someone's day can truly radiate the love someone may desperately need deep down. Showing love is simple. It is kind, and pure. Jesus didn't separate himself from the sinners, He bent down to their level and became friends with them. Can you believe that he actually just immersed himself into sin only to be the light in the darkness? JESUS is radical. He has called us to live a radical life and that means we have to step out of our box. out of our comfort zone, and live everyday expecting to touch the lives of many. We need a passion to love others to truly change our community. I believe that we are here to make a difference in the lives of many. How can you make a difference in someone's life if you won't step out of your own comfort zone? Lets be the change in this world that is very much needed. Talk to people, get to know them, and make an impact.

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.
