When God Calls You, Listen
Pintrest

Ever felt the strong presence of God telling you to do something? I'm sure we all have. When you get this feeling, don't over look it, listen. Listening to this calling can be such a huge blessing. It doesn't matter if you have not been as close to Him in your relationship as you should be, if He is calling you, He knows you've strayed and is calling you back in and has open arms to welcome you back.

He knows exactly what you need; he hears every prayer and is going to show you the way in due time. We never know why things happen to us, but He does. Whether it's a calling to be crafty, to come back to church, to forgive someone who has done you wrong or hurt you, a job, college, a relationship, anything. If He is laying it on your heart, you need to listen to. He will never leave you on your own or in a hole without a shovel; He will ALWAYS be there for you. He died for our sins and he is there everyday to help you. His love is stronger than any evil in this world. He is your life long best friend. Being young or old many things happen to us and we never understand why they do, but He has it planned to teach us a lesson in the future.

Many of us stray away from church every Sunday and reading our bible like we are supposed to; however, if you believe in your heart that he died on that cross for you, it does not matter to him if you are in a pew every Sunday or reading books of the Bible everyday, He loves you and is there whenever you need to talk.

We often are apprehensive to start a new school or job or even just something we enjoy doing on the side to make a little extra money, but He has put that fire in your heart because that is what He has planned for you in your life. Jumping into these things can be unbelievably scary but even if you fail, that courage from God will never fail to be there. God lays these callings on our hearts for us to learn to let go of the questions and the fears and go and jump into what He is laying on our hearts to do. These callings are so amazing and lead to amazing lessons we will remember for the rest of our lives. These things will not be easy but that's why he has said to us " For the battle is not yours, but God's." 2 Chronicles 20:15. Listen to the things he lays on your heart, they can lead to the best blessings you will ever experience.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
