"For Once In My Life"
google

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me - Stevie Wonder

Those words are from a popular song by Stevie Wonder talking about finding that true love and feeling satisfied with the person you found is the person for you and you for them. I look forward to that day that I will place a ring on that pretty finger of my beautiful bride and to walk to the reception and sing this song to this beautiful heaven-sent blessing. How my family and closest family will have a new daughter to introduce to the family. Their Patrick with his special someone. Someone to come home to, to argue with and make up with food and special surprises. To have someone to vent to and pick on only to laugh until you cry again

My dad and I were sitting in the living room discussing the future and relationships and he said "Son, whatever you do in life be intentional. If you do not plan to make whoever your pursuing a permanent thing do not invest or pursue it. In all aspects" Those words ringed into me. I want to have something that comes to me to be positive and long-term. The way you can make the outcome be the outcome you strive for you need to project your mindset into the one you want for yourself. Do not go looking for what you think you need for what you need will find you when its ready to be found or when God allows you to find it.

We live for now and we as a generation have the shortest patience span. Living for cheap thrills and quick satisfactions. Instead of working and fighting and taking time to make something that will last longer and has more to offer. When you get that attitude and set that as the goal and nothing short of that you will begin to find what you looking for, But if you are there and you still have not found your other do not fret. Your partner may not be there yet, instead pray and keep your eyes on Jesus and when both you and your future partner are ready you will be put in each others' lives.

Enjoy the journey and do not worry about the destination. You will get there when you need to, not when you want too.

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.
