Have you ever heard that song on the radio and just start carrying because of how much you can relate to the song. Recently a new song came out on K-LOVE which is the radio station my family and I listen to. If you listen to K-LOVE you may have heard of Lauren Daigle. Recently she came out with a new song that reminded me a lot of what I went through during my freshman year of college. Its called "You Say". In this article, I'll be describing to you why I can really relate to this song. Also how you can relate to it as well.

The first verse say's this: "I keep fighting voices in my mind that says I'm not enough every single lie that tells me I will never measure up I more than just the sum of every high and every low? Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know."

A lot of times during my freshmen year of college I kept hearing this voicing telling me that I'm not good enough. All the things that happen to me in the past will happen to me again GCU. You see I have a learning disability and growing up I always felt left out. People will look at me differently because of who I was. I brought those thoughts with me to GCU and lets I was on the edge because of it. Then I became open about who I am. To my surprise, there are a lot of people at GCU who go through similar things.

The chorus is what really hits home to me"You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing you say I am strong when I think I am weakYou say I am held when I am falling short when I don't belong, oh You say I am yours and I believe, oh I believe that You say of meI believe" As I have described in the last paragraph how I used to feel unwanted at GCU God showed me that he did by speaking through me. Late at night I will be crying in my dorm room or being super depressed about my life. Through that God will speak into me saying "Tiffany your doing great keep going I know it looks hard now but you got this I promise you I will live you to were you need to go just trust me" I remember telling my friends about how God was speaking into my life and they were amazed by how God was helping me.

Verse 2 ties into what I talk about how God was speaking into my life."The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, ooooh"

For a long time, I used to not think about what God thought about me. Recently I stopped listening to the lies that the devil will tell me and started listening to what God thinks of me instead. Let me tell you ever since then my life has been a lot better.
Verse 3: Also goes into verse 2 really well as well"Taking all I have and now I'm laying it at Your feetYou have every failure God, and You'll have every victory, ooooh."

Giving it all to God is the best thing I have ever done. I know my fellow believers in Christ will think the same way. Having God in control of my life has made my life a lot better knowing God is in it. Outtro these give me so much comfort."Oh I believe, yes I believe what You say of MeOH I believe"

Throughout the day you may even mumble some of the words in this song. I hope you can relate to this song as much as I can.

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.
