A Season Of Waiting

God's timing is worth the wait.

Have you ever felt like what you're facing in your life is never going to end? Have you ever felt like the trials of your life were too much to handle? If you feel like you're stuck in a season of singleness, failures, or unemployment -- just hold on. Hold on to the fact that God has something better for you. Tomorrow is a new day and His mercies are always new.

If you're stuck in a season of unemployment, I don't know exactly what you're going through, but I've seen it firsthand how it affects others. My mom was unemployed for eight months. There were times where we thought we were going to lose our house. It was tough trying to provide for three kids without a job. But, somehow every month, God provided. There was lots of praying. When my mom started to lose faith she finally got a call from a company in Hoover and has been working there for over a year now. God brings purpose to the pain.

If you're in a season of failures, know that God restores. He will make you whole again. If you give up your life to Him, He will make your paths straight. God's grace is astounding. There's no mistake that we can make in our lives that will make God love us any less than He already does.

If you're stuck in a season of singleness, just keep pressing forward. He has someone in store for you. Don't settle for less than you deserve. Wait for the one God has designed for you. God's plan for your life is so much bigger than your plan. Instead of trying to find the right person, work on becoming the right person. Your future wife/husband is praying for someone just like you. Someone in my small group told me to fall in love with Jesus first before I fall in love with any man.

Wait for God and His perfect timing. His timing is never early or late. Be still in the season God has you in. Embrace the delay you're in right now. Just remember God will be with you every step of the way.

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.
