Live in Awe
https://odysseyimages.s3.amazonaws.com/cropped_SJyYhc88f.jpeg

You woke up today! There's one miracle to start off your day. Look outside. God's creations are amazing aren't they? Look in the mirror. How does it feel to know that God created you Himself?

We need to live in awe of all the things given to us in life, big or small. Even the simplest things are amazing. Awe is defined as "a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder". Fear or wonder. If that doesn't describe how we should feel about our God, I don't know what does. We should feel that way about all His creations, too. 

Living in awe opens our eyes and mind to so much more beyond our own little world. It brings us joy and contentment. It helps us see people and situations in a new light.

Just driving to an appointment this past week, I was mesmerized by the snow that blanketed the mountains in front of me. I see those same mountains on a daily basis, always thinking "hm. pretty cool mountains", but never actually marveling in their beauty. It just took one little change for me to be filled with awe of God's work again. 

So imagine if instead of waiting for God to open our eyes to His magnificence again, we change our perspective. Wake up every day ready to find the awe in everything you do or see.

Thank Y'all,

A Gal just Simply Living

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
