Thanks Given

Psalms one thirty six

Give thanks to the Lord

For his love, will forever endure

For he is good even when misunderstood.

He is the God of gods,

The epitome of greatness,

He is there when you are lying in the depths of your weakness.

When you have sinned up to your knees and can no longer see his victory,

He will not despise or be your demise.

Cause’ have you heard,

Under the sun there is nothing new

(let me repeat this)

Have you heard under the son there is nothing new!?

He does not need to send a few to save you.

For he is the one, the only one.

He is the Lord of lords,

Worship him not because he grants unmerited love, mercy, grace, and all of the above.

Who else can “touch” the wanders he achieves all on his own?

For he is sitting there on his righteous throne,

Waiting to right your wrongs and fix your mistakes,

He will never devastate!

For he is the one who sent his one and only son

To give us life.

How dare he bare that cross on his back?

When you seem to lack …

Selfless faith, conviction, and a righteous heart

It will never tear us apart!

For his love shines ever so brightly when we are traveling in the dark.

So, let us all grab his great light,

And stand up for what is right.

We as a brotherhood, a sisterhood, a family,

Let us show them how a Christ like life leads.

Because we all believe,

He is the truth the life and the way.

He will not show malice nor hate.

For he is far too great!

Do not let false prophecies be your mistake.

So, which path with you choose to take?

Well, my God ….

He is the one who made the sun govern the day.

Now what will you say,

When you are standing in the presence of greatness?

I pray that your soul hasn’t bared false witness,

Because none can contest to the miracles he posses.

He heals the eyes of the blind,

But let this not be left behind.

Faith precedes miracles because miracles do not

(I repeat)

Miracles do not inspire faith.

So, let your faith be the very thing that heals you!

Jesus has plenty of living water to renew you!

When you were in your lowest state he did not forget you, abandon you, or have you forsaken.

Now let this not be mistaken, his son gave his last breath so that we all can be AWAKEN!

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.
