Learn To Trust God Through The Seasons Of Life
Sadie Stevens

Seasons” have to do with different times in our lives and what we have going on at that point or where we “feel” like we are. Seasons can be dry, happy, exciting, depressing, tough, and are FULL of ups and downs. These different times can also be a time of growth in the different areas of our lives and can be used to help us grow, within ourselves but, also in The Lord.

The good thing about these seasons is they come and go. They don’t all last forever and you get to learn valuable lessons that help you get to the next season. That way, with these lessons you are able to grow. It’s important to remember ALL these different seasons are a beautiful thing as they help us grow and become who Jesus TRULY wants us to be. Growing and going through different seasons is a part of life.

I hope you can learn to be content in whatever season He may have you in and don’t try to rush it, when you rush season’s its so easy to miss something that you were supposed to learn and move to fast to try to get into the next season.

When trouble strikes and our hearts grow faint, we often forget the great love our Father in Heaven has for us and can doubt the goodness of God toward us. When that happens, we begin to be consumed by our stress and our fears, and we may blame God. When we follow God's formula and recall His great love for us, reminding ourselves daily of His compassion toward us, our hearts then gain strength. God knows the daily need we have to remember His kindness toward us in the middle of our unkind circumstances, so He calls us to focus on it every morning. His compassions that never fail us are His resources to carry us through our day, no matter how hard it gets.

Has hope, peace, and strength vanished in the wind of your storm? His peace, His strength, His wisdom, His understanding, His hope will become yours as you ask Him for it — whatever you need today will become yours supernaturally. As you lean into His great love for you today, and lean on His resources, you will not be consumed, you will not be crushed.You will find Him faithful step by step by step — that's trusting.

You don't need to doubt the love and the goodness of God towards you. He doesn't promise a season of storm-free life, but He does promise to be the anchor in the storm so that you will not be overcome! Trust Him daily. Trust Him hourly and learn to trust Him moment by moment. His resources will not only get you through, but you will truly grow to experience Him as the source of overflowing hope "by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Trust Him. He is our faithful God!

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.
