Even So, It Is Well

It is well with my soul. It is well; it is well with my soul.

I think everyone has heard this song at least once. Lately, more than ever, it has been resonating with my heart. Recently God revealed to me something that I never saw coming. I am beyond blessed for the opportunity laid out before me, but that doesn’t make the situation easy.

Making big decisions isn’t easy. Making life decisions isn’t easy. A lot of life isn’t easy, let’s just be honest. God never promised easy, He promised to be there with us through it, and to give us strength though the journey.

Life has a way of testing us, and tempting us to drift. If we place our trust correctly, in the rock of our Redeemer, our trust will hold no matter the forces fighting against it.

No matter what we go through, God won't leave us stranded in situations that we can’t handle. That doesn’t mean that we won’t face trials and temptations. God is going to be there with us no matter what, and it is well. He is well.

When you chose to leave mountains unmovable, give me the strength to be able to sing it is well with my soul.

When my world feels like it is crumbling below me, it is still well.

If God is calling you to something and you haven’t seen His goodness manifest in it yet, it is still well.

If your dream was crushed, He holds that, and it is still well.

If your relationship is failing, it is still well.

No matter what, it is still well, He is still God, and He is still good.

When all is well, then all is well.

In Painful times, God is strengthening you, and it is well. In peaceful times, God is restoring you, and it is well. In ALL times, God is loving you, and it is still well. The love of God is stronger than we can ever hope or dream. No matter what is going wrong, it is still well. You’ve been made new again. I speak release, I speak that it is truly well with your soul.

I pray for the souls of those reading this. I pray that they have peace in knowing that no matter what You’re doing in their hearts, God, that they can see that it is still well. God, that whatever stressful situations they’re in, whether it be in school, in their job, at home, with their kids, whatever it is God, that you just let them know that it is well. Sometimes we can’t understand why things are happening the way that they are, but I pray that we can start seeing your goodness in everything and have faith that it is well with our souls, no matter what, it is well, 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.
