Just Say Amen

Stand and know you're not forsaken. Just say Amen.

Just Say Amen
Ally Mishell Smith

When I was in high school, I was a part of my church's student choir. We would spend all year preparing for our summer music/mission tour. The choir has traveled all over the country serving and proclaiming the Word of God through music and mission projects. It's very tiring, very humbling and just all around life-changing. I love to think back to all the memories from the tour, and one memory in particular sticks out.

Our student ensemble sang a song called "Say Amen" by Finding Favour. I can remember sitting in the choir loft, hearing them sing it for the first time with tears in my eyes. The song has such a powerful message that so many people need to hear. It seems like the song can relate to any person and any situation.

When I was driving to work a few days ago, the song randomly came up and started play and brought me to tears. God knew I needed to hear the song.

This life is a journey we walk by faith, and there will always be the mountains in our way. But right here in this moment, may our strength be renewed. As we recall what God has done and how we've seen Him move.
If there's anybody here who's found Him faithful, Anybody here who knows He's able,Say Amen! If there's anybody here who's seen His power, Anybody here brought through the fire, Say Amen! Anybody here found joy in the middle of sorrowJust Say AMEN!
Sometimes through the darkness, it's hard to see, so just be brave and follow where He leads. Greater is the one who's in us, than he who's in the world, so, child of God, remember, the battle is the Lord's!
If there's anybody here who's found Him faithful, Anybody here who knows He's able, say Amen! If there's anybody here who's seen His power, Anybody here brought through the fire, say Amen! Anybody here found joy in the middle of sorrow, peace in the storm, hope for tomorrow, and seen it time and time again, then just Say AMEN!
Even in the valley of the shadow when you feel alone in the unknown, Just say Amen, Just say Amen. Even when the storms are raging, Stand and know your not forsaken, Just say Amen, Just say Amen. Is there anybody here, Tell me is there anybody here, come on and Say Amen!

I pray that you know He is greater than any battle struggle that you're going through. Know that you're not alone. Just say Amen.

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.
