5 Reasons You Should Start Your Day With A Little Coffee & Lots Of Jesus

Some people start their days with an episode of Netflix, a nice big breakfast, or just catching up on social media. How do I start my day? Well, since I've been in college, I have tried to start my days with my Bible and a cup of coffee. I truly believe that starting your morning with Jesus and enjoying a nice cup of coffee can change your mood towards your entire day.

Here are 5 more reasons you should do just that:

1. Stress relief 

Something happens to you when you open up your Bible. In the morning when I sit and open up my Bible and turn on my worship music, it doesn't matter what is going on in my life, all of my stress disappears. I open the word and I feel a peace come over me and I know that for those few short minutes that I spend with the Lord, I don't have a care in the world.

2. Better outlook on the day

When I start my days with my warm cup of coffee and my Jesus time I am more optimistic about the day that is ahead of me. I think about what is weighing on my heart and mind and I leave it at the cross in the morning. I know that no matter what problems or stress that I am facing, they are so small when I think about how big his love is for me.

3. Happiness

During my quiet time, I will come across something in the Bible and it just makes me smile. Reading about the love that God has for us just makes you feel comforted and happy. I think about all of the crazy and hectic things going on in my life and I think about my failures and I can't help but smile. I know that no matter how many times I fail, he is there to pick me up and he still loves me.

4. Guidance 

God is funny in the way that he places certain things in our lives. When I have my time with him in the mornings, I always read a verse that is so relatable to situations in my life. I even find that when I read those verses in the morning I can relate them to certain things throughout the day.

5. Strength 

Starting your day off by being in the word gives you strength to know that you can face whatever the day brings. You know that no matter what you are up against you will stand tall and overcome it because HE is on your side and gives you the strength to do so.

I encourage you to dive into the word every morning. Sit down with a cup of coffee and sit in the presence of the Lord. Your days will be brighter, happier, and you will feel stronger and better because you did so.

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.
