Dear Mom, I Want To Let You Know That It's Okay

You've taught me even if things aren't okay, it's going to be okay.

Dear Mom, I Want To Let You Know That It's Okay
Josh Willink

Mom,

I just wanted to say, it's okay.

It's okay that you don't always have it together. Sometimes you need to be sad. You’ve always been the one to hold it together for everyone. This time, I would do anything to hold it together for you. If I could move a mountain for you I would. Thankfully we have a God on our side that will. He heals the broken hearted, and that is my prayer for you.

Its okay that you're not always perfect. You have taught me so much by NOT being perfect. In my eyes, you're as good as it gets. From you I have learned as long as you stay humble and stay Godly, no matter how things work out, it’s going to be okay.

It’s okay things don’t always work out. You always put 110 percent into everything you do, You always try to make things work, but this time it didn’t at that is okay. You didn’t fail us, you didn’t fail you. You keep your poise and grace in the midst of the storm, and I hope to be just like you in hard times.

Not everyone gets the privilege of having a mom like you. A mom that is so strong and beautiful inside and out. I know I am a lucky one to be able to look up to someone like you. You’ve raised me well enough to be able to take on the world on my own, not fearing the things that fall in my way. Because of you, in the hard times I can tell you it’s okay, not because everything is fixed but because of the women that you are. It’s going to be okay because you have given God every ounce of you and he will carry you through. It’s going to be okay because you have a family that you have impacted in an amazing way that will stand behind you no matter how bad the storm gets. You won’t stand alone, ever.

Mom things aren’t always okay, but it will be okay because that is what you have taught me.

Matthew 11:28

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

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.
