The Importance Of Trusting God

In times of struggle, He is always there and always will be.

The Importance Of Trusting God

If you ever feel confused, upset, happy or alone my best advice to you is to pause. Pause and move somewhere you can be alone. Sit down. Be still. Close your eyes and breathe.

One of my favorite quotes from the Bible is Proverbs 3:5-6 which says, “trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

This quote speaks volumes to me. Life is unexpected, scary and how can you know if you are doing what you should be doing with your life? The truth is you don’t, He does, however. To be honest with you, it is very hard for me to understand that everything is predetermined in a sense, but I believe it wholly. In my opinion, all we do, whatever decisions we make along the path of life is for a reason. Even the hard times that make us stronger, in the end, all are all supposed to lead us in the direction that we are meant to go. It may be unclear and you may not understand it at all but everything will make sense in the end.

I would say whatever difficulties you are having, the hardest part is deciding to let the results play out and place all of your trust in the Lord. It is not an easy task. You may question everything; you may want to say that this was never supposed to happen. But it was. And that is the truth of it all.

Don’t panic. Understanding to put your trust in God also requires you to put all of your trust in the idea that everything is headed in a positive direction.

Not everyone can do it, but you can. Believe, trust and most importantly understand that anything you may be struggling with is temporary and it will be okay.

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.
