What You See

The treasure you see in me

My hands and my feet were shackled with the chains of my sin. A cold cell of loneliness is where I sat alone, unloved, unwanted. There was no hope for a reckless image like me. Until you came along and saw my brokenness and bought me for a price.

What you see is a beautiful masterpiece, but I see a mess with a nose for trouble. I find myself falling into dangerous ditches that come with consequences, and the pain that hits afterwards. Yet, you leave me puzzled because you still decide to work on me.

May I open my mouth and ask what you see in me?

I see someone who chases after desires that last only for a moment, leading your masterpiece into an ending of ruin. Afraid of your response to my own destruction, I try to fix myself and my wicked ways. But how do I straighten a crooked path? When everything I touch proves [be sure to finish this thought]

When every path I take ends in a dead end, I lift my eyes and cry to you for help.

I expect anger frustration, but you don't say a word. Instead, you put me on your potter's wheel and fix me. With your loving hands, you hold my brokenness and place me on your potter's wheel. Your mighty hand grabs the chisel and takes away all of my rough edges and unnecessary clay that chokes the light inside of me.

You make me whole again, and free of the chains that I have entangled myself in, and in the end, I realize only you have the tools to fix the mess within me.

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.
