Ephesians 3:11 – "He has made everything beautiful and appropriate in its time. He has also planted eternity [a sense of divine purpose] in the human heart, yet man cannot find out [comprehend, grasp] what God has done from the beginning to the end."

One of the many amazing things about God is that He is constantly making things beautiful. He is constantly changing circumstances and allowing things in our lives for only a short season. The way God works is amazing because no matter what circumstance occurs in our lives, He is making it beautiful. No matter what the situation or circumstance is we must trust the process. Because everything occurs in seasons, I would say that in order for us to trust the process, we must embrace the season. The word embrace means, "an act of accepting or supporting something willingly or enthusiastically." To embrace means to see something as it truly is and accepting it.

Whenever something good or bad occurs in our lives it is easy to run to things that are familiar to us. We could run to social media or friends. But there is a big difference between running to things that are familiar and running straight to God. See when we run to things that are familiar, it is easy to fall back into old patterns that we were already freed from at the moment of salvation. When we run straight to God we are able to get clarity and peace. The problem or situation is no longer controlled by us, but it is completely in God's hands. This leads us to trusting the process and embracing the season.

God wants us to trust Him and He wants us to embrace the season. Because everything we go through is a lesson. Everything that happens in our lives, brings glory to God in some way even if we do not see it at the present moment. Son and daughters, no matter where you are in life learn to trust the process and fully embrace your season. No matter what, God will make it beautiful in His appropriate time. You may not be able to comprehend it now, but God will allow you to comprehend it, in His perfect timing. So today lean in, let go, trust and embrace.

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.
