Many obstacles can cause us to have weary hearts and panic.

Life is hectic. Everyday throws curve balls and we are left with no options other than to “make lemonade.” That’s the problem with our day to day activities, even when life throws lemons we don’t stop to breathe.

Step back, relax, and just breathe. We get so caught up in what is going on in our lives that we forget to stop and enjoy the life around us. We forget to just breathe.

Jeremiah 2:25

"Slow down. Take a deep breath. What's the hurry? Why wear yourself out?”

We don’t take the time to breathe. We just through life and get so caught up that we often times stray away from God. Our lives being more important than time spent with him.

Day to day activity seems normal to us now. Wake up go to class, do homework, or wake up, go to work for eight hours then go home to your families. It’s a routine that most of us are so used to that when something happens we panic! We don’t know how to handle it.

Many obstacles can cause us to have weary hearts and panic. For me this semester it has been simple things such as car trouble, physical pains, and friendships. I have cried more than I like to admit and felt defeated.

But my God has calmed me everytime.

John 16:33

“I have told you this so that through me you may have peace. In the world you’ll have trouble, but be courageous—I’ve overcome the world!”

He is with me always and it gives me the peace of mind to keep fighting the day. Life is always going to try to break you. Sometimes it will, but God is always there to help you back up. Life is hard, but don’t run from it. Let God help you up and have peace that there is always someone in your corner.

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.
