God Gives His Hardest Battles To His Strongest Warriors
Whitney Gay

Cancer is a very hard subject, everyone knows that. Having one of your parents have it is even more unbearable. You have to go through a lot when you have cancer, but most importantly it shows if you have true faith in God or not. For me I didn't have faith in him, I thought I did but when things got bad I lost every ounce I had in him and that changed me really quick.

Almost 2 years ago my mom was diagnosed with stage 2 Breast Cancer. It took us all by surprised because my mom was healthy and it just didn't make sense to me at all. I blamed God for everything. How could he do this to my mom? Why her? She didn't do anything wrong, why punish her? Greif ran through my heart so fast I didn't talk to anyone and I cried constantly. I didn't understand why God did this to us. Needless to say, I lost my faith in God.

A couple of weeks before my mom got done with her treatments, one of my friend's mom had passed away from Ovarian cancer. It hit me pretty hard because she was like another mom to me. I went to her services and her son preached about how God-fearing she was and that even though everything happened the way that it did that God had a plan. Maybe not the plan he wanted it to be but he had a plan for her, and her family. He said that God had a reason for her to be diagnosed. He has reasons for everything that is happening and that is going to happen.

God has a reason for everything. It might not what we like or want to happen but he knows what he is doing and the outcome will be great! God gives his hardest battles to his strongest warriors. Whoever is fighting, has faught, or will fight cancer, God loves you. He has a plan for you, he gives us these trials and tribulations for a reason and when he is done with it, it's amazing!

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.
