Fall: It's The Most Exhausting Time Of Year

There is a reason for every season, and I know that after this season of exhaustion something amazing will come out of it.

Fall semester is starting to get the best of me. Classwork is stacking up high, and due dates are lingering. I have been trying to find an equal balance of school and rest lately, but there has been no rest to be found. Every night I am up late, trying to get stuff accomplished without losing my mind.

Not being in the Word every day has had a really big impact on the ways that my days end. I lay in bed at night knowing that I need to be active in order to stay energized and motivated to do school. But I have noticed that by the time my days are over I am too tired to do anything, especially sit down and read my bible.

I am starting to crash slowly, and losing the motivation to do things I love the most. Working through this is something that I have had to do before, but it isn't fun to go through. The feeling of tiredness and lack of motivation is so hard to beat. I am constantly trying to find time to rest, and take time for myself away from school, but when I am away from school, I am always focused on what I need to be doing.

This semester is finally almost over, and I am hoping and praying that I can continue to beat this feeling of being drained and enjoy everything that the Lord is doing in my life lately. He is continually working in my life and allowing amazing things to happen, and it is important to not overlook what He is doing.

There is a reason for every season, and I know that after this season of exhaustion something amazing will come out of it. I trust He will provide where He leads 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.
