It's In His Hands

He won't always grant us want we want, but he will always take care of us.

It's In His Hands
pimeusa.wordpress.com

How many times has someone helped you in your lifetime? Some people have helped you more than others, but there is one who has helped you more than you realize. Not only that, but you helps you every single day.

Most people don't realize how much God really helps them in their life. He guides us and helps us achieve our plans even when we don't know it or understand it. However, he doesn't control our actions. Guiding us and controlling us are two very different things.

There are many things that we don't understand about God's plans. Isaiah 55:9 says, "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." We are not as strong as we think we are and there is only so much we can do for ourselves. We have to have faith in him and lean on him even when we don't understand. We can achieve so much more when he is with us.

Now you have to realize, God is not going to say yes to all of your wishes. Sometimes that is just not in your cards. But you have to realize how much he has already blessed you with. In Psalms 3:5 it says, "I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me." Everyday is another gift from him because we do not know when our last is.

There are so many things that we need help with that we don't realize. There is only so much we can do on our own, but God can help us achieve so much more. We can get through anything with him. He won't always grant us want we want. But he will always take care of us.

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.
