For God is the essence of it all in our lives

As I lay here on this breeze night listening to Christian music on the background, I begin reflecting on my life, all that I have gone through. Then, this song begins to speak to me. My minds starts going 100mph. I knew then that God had spoken to me through the lyrics of this song. It was then I realized the time has come, to make my comeback a great one.

I know now more then ever I’ve been put here on this earth to do just this. To help others grow in their faith in God, to give people hope for what tomorrow may bring through my testimony, and encourage my readers. God knows I have so much to give through it, so much that it needs to be put out there.

Life has been quite the ride for us all I’m sure, it's like a series of events; the moments shared, the people we encounter along the way, all those things in between is what keeps it so interesting. These things are all meant to be a part of our growing up process, so I’ve learned.

I owe it all to God, for giving me this life for waking me up, and giving me another chance at life. Not just to breathe in the fresh air of a new day but for giving me a new day to actually start over again. A new day to be a better person then I was yesterday, a second chance on the person he wants me to be in this world. I know now more then ever that he doesn’t waste anything I have been through in life. Not the good and certainly not the bad.

I know some of you may say, “well..how can that be?" But, In order to ever see it this way you have to allow yourself to believe, to have faith and trust in God. I assure you that just then you will witness Gods love for you. God is never blind to your tears, never deaf to your prayers, never silent to your pain. He sees and hears everything, therefore he will deliver when the moment and time is right. There’s this saying that says you have to lose yourself in order to find yourself. Well, God says “ Any one who wants to save their life will lose it; but anyone who loses their life for my sake will find it.” Matthew 16:25.

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.
