Waiting for God

His plan is better than mine. His ways are higher than mine.

Waiting for God

We hear people talking about waiting on God's timing all the time. I talk about it too. It's because it's true. God's timing is much better than anything we could ever put together. We get ourselves in such a mess when we jump the gun and don't wait for what he has planned for us. Just think about Abraham. Instead of waiting on God to bless him with a child by his wife, he decided to have a child by someone else. This foiled God's plan, and all because Abraham and Sarah were too impatient to wait. The same thing happens with all of us today.

It's true in so many aspects of life that God's timing is best, but the one that comes to mind the most is finding a spouse. Some people set unrealistic goals for themselves and think they have to be married, have a great job, and a nice house all before they're 25 or whatever age they choose. People go out searching and make it their goal to find someone, and often they settle for the wrong person. This is not how God intended it to be. He never intended for us to find the first person interested in us and date just for the fun of it. I know God has better plans for me and for you. I know he has someone picked out for me who loves him above all else and will love me second. I don't want to settle for anything less, and I hope you won't either.

Wait for the man/woman who puts God first in everything.

Wait for the man/woman who will love you like you deserved to be loved and will always lift you up.

Wait for the man/woman who you think will be a good father/mother for your future children.

Wait for the man/woman who you think you can spend forever with.

Wait for the man/woman who will only lead you closer to God and never turn you away.

Know your worth. In God's eyes you are worth everything.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
