Temporary Home

Are you ready to go home?

Temporary Home

Earth. A beautiful place we walk on. A place we call home. A place everyone takes advantage of. What do i mean? This is our temporary home. One day when Jesus comes back we will be in our forever home, heaven.

We often find ourselves worried about things that shouldn’t be worried about. Like what if i fail this test or what if my significant other breaks up with me. That’s what society has taught us to do, worry. We find ourselves worrying about things that will not matter when we are in our forever home. We worry about our appearance and what others think of us. We worry about not fitting or having the cutest shoes or the trendiest styles. We are not worried about what would happen if Jesus came back today.

What would happen if Jesus came back today? Well, would you be scared? Would you be right with the Lord? Or are you to busy worrying about others around you and what they think of you?

One day our worries and troubles will no longer cross our minds. Our soul is fueled by God and our mind is terrorized by the devil. We often find ourselves thinking thoughts that God would just never place into our minds. It’s because the devil wants you to worry about the things that are materialistic. He wants you to be sad and uncomfortable in your temporary home. But in our soul we are thrived by love and joy that the Lord gives us. When we have faith that our soul is mended and cleansed by God then we are happier. If Jesus were to come back today would you be okay? Would you know God in your heart? Would you be at the highest point of a good relationship with God?

These are questions that need to be answered by yourself. God is going to lead you to your purpose. Being blinded by your unpleasant thoughts and negativity are harming yourself. Our forever home does not hold a place of fear, sadness, or anxiety. Your future home holds all the happiness that your temporary home does not. So ask yourself, are you ready for your forever home?

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.
