To The Best Friend God Gave Me

To my best friend-

Thank you for being everything you are, in every perfect and imperfect way. I can’t believe how much the Lord has blessed me by putting you in my life when I least expected it. You are the one person I know I can always go to and trust and count on in any circumstance.

When I first met you I never realized how important you were going to be in my life. I remember so vividly the first time we met, which was through the summer camp we worked at together over the summer, as we met briefly in a shabin amidst the overwhelming chaos of people and new surroundings. When I found out you were going to Messiah in the fall like me, I knew we were ment to be. You were my backbone and the one I would vent to, and always looked forward to seeing you at the pool whenever I brought my charismatic campers who would never walk. It’s crazy the journey the Lord has taken us on since the summer and into the school year, which I don’t know what I would’ve done without you, as going into college already seems overwhelming and I can’t even imagine going in all alone into the next stage of my life without you. Camp was our place where our bond was made unbreakable and where we can look back to and cherish the good times. What’s even crazier is we ended up having two classes together, and I always cherish our study sessions. From all our cuddling sessions and mental breakdowns (so dead) and boy problems (we all have them), I will never take you for granted.

I appreciate the little things you do, like when I fell behind in the color run and at the very end you came back on the course to run the last 200 feet with me. You have no idea how much I appreciated that. That’s what true friends do.

I find it amazing how the Lord put you in my life before I realized I even needed you, and I can’t even imagine doing this whole college thing without you. It has taught me that the Lord will provide for our needs before we even are aware of it. We always got each others back and I appreciate you always being there for me. Even if we don’t get a chance to talk a lot on busy and hectic days, I know we are always on the same page. I thank God for you everyday and this crazy life journey that he has put us on, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us. You are my ride or die.

Thank you for listening to me rap to Lecrae.

Thank you for being crazy with me.

Thank you for being a blessing.

Love, Your Forever Grateful Friend

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.
