I've compiled a list of 10 verses I wanted to share with others who are struggling to know God better.

1. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

This has always been one of my favorites. It reminds me to trust in God's plan and His perfect timing.

2. Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"

We need to remember that God is on our side.

3. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

This is so important. I am a person who is big on forgiveness because God forgives us every single day. We should be able to forgive other imperfect humans.

4. Luke 6:31 "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."

Everyone knows the golden rule, but I think a lot of people take it too lightly. God is serious when he says to treat others as you want to be treated.

5. Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."

Ah yes. Rejoicing. We must remember to thank God for all that he has done for us. Praise him for his gracious works.

6. Romans 12:12 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

I like this verse because it is so truthful. If you do these things your life will get so much better.

7. Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I suffer from anxiety, so this is a good reminder that God is protecting me at all times. He gives us strength and the amour of his love to shield us.

8. Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Everyone experiences brokenness at different points in their lives. If we turn to God, healing will come.

9. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, a I will give you rest."

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with school that I just need to sit and rest in God. He will restore your energy and motivation.

10. 1 Chronicles 16:34 "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"

The Lord is SO good. Take a look at your life and make a list of all the good things God has given you because He loves you. His love will never end.

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.
