The World is Changing

The World is Changing
Jan Jansen

As I am sitting here, rocking a baby, I can't help but notice how pure and innocent she is. Then I start to think about all the evil that has happened in the last few days. I just hope and pray that she never has to witness something like the Dallas shootings, Orlando Nightclub shooting or any other disaster. The United States of America is not as great as some people think it is. I honestly love my home country, but it's starting to become a place where I don't feel safe. I don't feel like I belong here.

When we say "One nation under God" I don't think we actually believe it because we definitely don't act like it. Our country needs Jesus fast. As the chaos continues, I wish that Jesus would come get us soon. I say that because He is ultimately the only one that can save us from all the evil in the world. Satan has taken over this country and world that he is slowly sucking the life out of everything. He won't stop until we, as Christians. do something about it.

The hashtag #ALLlivesmatter is the best hashtag that I have ever seen, in my opinion. That's because it's true. My life equals just as much as the homeless men and women in this world. My life is equal to the President of the United States. If Jesus can eat with the poor and the rich and love them the same, then why can't we? I really don't understand how people don't realized that. A life is a life and it can be taken away just as fast.

I don't agree with the bad cops that are in the police forces that are taking down and profiling innocent individuals. That is wrong and something needs to be done. Even if someone has a different skin color than you and you feel as though they are going to hurt you, either turn away or address the situation without violence. Violence doesn't get solved with more violence. I believe that Satan is pushing his way through the country, making people believe that the only way to survive is to kill. I'm sorry but that's not it. If you want to survive this world, call out to Jesus because he's the only one that can save us.

Our world as we know it is changing rapidly. The newest candidates for the Presidential election are either going to make or break America. I honestly don't want either candidates because I don't see how they are the best fit at this time. However, if one of them change, understand that there needs to change and will actually make the changes, then I will be more than happy to support them. Until then, I am going to pray that our leaders in our country make the right decisions on how to handle all of these situations. I pray for everyone in this country to put down the weapons and love as Christ has loved us.

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.
