I Used To Like Rainbows

Even the sign of the rainbow has been vandalized to be a symbol of sin.

Today in the United States it has become increasingly normal and even celebrated to be gay, lesbian, or transsexual. It is near impossible to go on social media without hearing something about the LGBT "community".

As a Christian, I have always been hesitant about giving an opinion about the rise in our society's norms. It has been increasingly more difficult to say same sex relations is a sin, especially with the media encouraging it so much. However, whether it is celebrated or fought against, whether it's popular or not- it is a sin.

There. I said it. Same sex marriage/ relations is a sin against God. I am sorry if I offended you, but it's the truth. We live in this world where sinful behaviors are encouraged and promoted. Here's a news flash: just because it's popular doesn't mean it's acceptable.

In elementary school, I remember seeing a picture of a man holding a rainbow flag. It caught my attention because, let's face it, rainbows are awesome. But then I realized the rainbow had become a symbol for the LGBT's.

Rainbows are supposed to be a sign of God's faithfulness. A sign of His love for us and the protection of the world from a flood. But the rainbow has been vandalized. It is now a symbol of how fun and normal sin is.

How sad it is that such a beautiful and innocent thing like a rainbow has become a representative for such a messed up sin.

As a Christian, I am disgusted. As a millennial I am embarrassed. I'm embarrassed that my generation would be the forerunners in endorsing same sex relations, instead of being the ones that spark a revival of holy living.

Some may say, "there's nothing you can do, because these are the times we live in". Allow me to object. I am not on this planet to sit around quietly and let the world fall into sin. I'm gonna make a difference. I'm going to live a godly life, even if people mock me, call me names, and criticize my choice. Even if it isn't the popular way, I CHOOSE JESUS.

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.
