This time is hard for everyone, and it's really hard to keep your head up when you're not really sure what's going to happen tomorrow or even in the next few days. How I get through it, though, is with prayer. I know that no matter what is going on in the world, I always have God on my side.

I know it's tough for everyone, but my heart especially goes out to those who feel like they have nowhere to turn. I am praying for you, whether you are religious or not. I am praying for every single person on this earth to find safety and to keep their faith during these hard times.

I encourage those of you who are anxious and have no where to turn to get the Bible app and start a devotion about faith, download a book that will help you push past anxiety, or even call up a friend or family member and ask them to pray for you during this time.

It won't be easy; some of us may be dealing with a lot more hardship than others, but this is the time for us to come together as a community and pray. Pray for your loved ones, for your state, for your country, for our leaders and first responders - it matters so much just to keep them in our thoughts but reaching out and letting them know you're thinking of them means so much more.

I guess what I'm saying is, the way for us all to keep our faith during this crazy time of uncertainty is to not lose sight of the God who created us and to not emotionally isolate ourselves. Reaching out is how we can keep our community alive and well during this time. Even if everything around us stops, our prayers and communication don't have to.

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.
