Let's Do This
thewordout.net

There's something out there.

Something trying to put ideas in our heads,

But also to keep things out.

That something latches on to the smallest little piece of you, fighting for a chance to take over.

There's someone in there.

Someone looking upon you with eyes of love.

With a longing heart.

That someone gives life, forgiveness, and a sense of belonging, beckoning you for a new beginning.

----------------------

With so many tools in this world for the devil to use to get you on his side, the easy path is most likely the opposite direction of Jesus. Constantly temptation is surrounding us, giving us excuses to forget the Word for a little while and go choose something else.

The only surefire way to keep buying into the Lord is to keep buying in. It's like lifting weights; once you build up muscle, and you take a long break, you lose those gains and fall into another less active habit, not to mention having to start over in square one.

If you take a break from diving into Jesus, you'll slowly lean the other way, and that's prime hunting grounds for Satan. Don't let your desire drift. Seasons of faith come and go, absolutely, but by training your soul, body and mind to go straight to Jesus, you won't drift so often.

So?

Jesus is right here, waiting for you to come by. And stay.

Let's do this.

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.
