God We Need You

A Prayer For Our Nation

It is only us who can change the position our country is in.

Dear God,

"We come to you today broken by , exhaustion, racism, hatred, greed, and nothing less then pure evil. we come to you on our knees, watching this beautiful world you have built for us crumble around us slowly at a steady pace each day."

We lift this country up to you today, in hopes that you can only forgive us for a small portion of the sin we commit each day. We pray that you pour out your blessings and glory on us once again.

We know that we are sinners, saved by your grace. we know we have had many, many, many faults, and will continue to have them, but you still come running after us time, after time again. Even when we know we don't deserve it.

For I ask that You bring this nation back into your arms, and swaddle us with your relentless love.

We know people of this country including me are oppressed, but not just in our country, also around the world. We know our "problems "aren't so great when we step back and put them in perspective instead of over reacting.

We know you have a plan for each of our lives. That your plans are to prosper us and give us a hope and a future.

We know that the road may be longer than we expect, and we know sometimes it's easy to get down on ourselves, but we pray you fill us with strength, and comfort us in our times of sorrow.

we pray that you make our speech intentional, and make our actions filled with love, and compassion for our fellow man.

We pray that you don't let us try to solve our own problems using hatred or anger, but that you'll inspire us to be the light in the darkness in everything we do. not only individually, but together as a country.

Only you are able to change the state our country is in. Only you can make this Country, much less this world "GREAT AGAIN."

We lift these words up to you in hopes you'll provide us with and open heart to all of your children.

Amen...

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

Kinder Self - Eyes

You're Your Own Best Friend

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
