So you hear us?

O okay, now you see us.

We are this passion that has morphed into a daily fight.

While the people sleep,

we are praying to God:

Lord please protect them from the black hearts,

the evil doers who are sent by the one who reigns in the night.

Block the attacks each day and every night.

Although we appear strong,

Lord it is the cries of our youth,

our babies that saddens us.

There are so many injustices.

Father, we operate within the laws of the land.

More importantly, we continue to trust You.

Understanding, there is much work for us to do.

Just like David we will continue to fight.

Even if that means sacrificing our time into the late hours of the night.

Just like Abraham we will not waiver from our faith.

Even if that means to carry on all alone

without the masses because they cannot see Your way.

Lord we are seeking Your heart.

That is why this road where we find ourselves has to be Your destiny.

We have no choice. We cannot go back. We cannot depart.

Not only do we know that You are the one true God,

We know Your Son our Savior Jesus, too.

So we love everyone fully.

We live freely without fear.

And just as Your word teaches, we forgive immediately, even if they are unaware.

It is only because of You that we are present during this time.

We know that You brought us here.

Because, we are free with liberties

we understand, who the Son sets free is free indeed.

We protest in peace.

We speak for the silenced.

Those who cannot speak.

None of this is about us.

This is not our story.

This too will bring all praise and honor to You.

Father, You will get all the glory.

We are fighting for freedom.

Simply, because all freedom is not free.

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.
