Being a young woman I have felt the pressure of today's society on how to become the "perfect woman". Men desire a woman who has a tiny waist, has no flaws and is good in the kitchen. Woman in today's society are trying to fill the same shoes of men in every aspect. God designed us to be different. We come from the rib of a man. We as women need to understand that if God wanted us to be able to compete with a man, He would have made us equally.

God has made us into exactly what the world needs, a steady hand. A woman who fears the Lord, who is far more precious then rubies and a woman who bears good fruit. In chapter 31 of the book of Proverbs we are given a detailed list of what the "perfect woman" should be like.

The woman who fears the Lord

Proverbs 31:12 - "She does him good, and not harm all the days of her life"

31:20 - "She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hand to the needy"

31:25 - "Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come"

31:26 - "She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue"

31:30 - "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised"

Who cares if you aren't a size 0 or 2, who cares if your skin isn't flawless or your teeth aren't pearly white. Nothing in this passage says you have to stay on top of the latest fashion, have to color your hair a certain color or have sun kissed skin.

God designed you perfect in His image, the same God that put the stars in the sky, created you exactly how He wanted you. Stay true to yourself, and grow in His word. Grow into the woman God designed you to be, don't fall into todays society of what the worlds "perfect woman" should be. Stand tall in your faith, don't let this petty world we live in trap you into someone you aren't.

You will do great things darling, trust the Lord, lean on your friends and plant your roots in His words. Become the ideal Woman of God.

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.
