Are you in school or college, or you just feel your life is too busy and God is taking the back seat of your priorities?

First, realize that no one is “too busy." If you are too busy to read the Bible, it may not be as important to you as your other obligations. If you start to think of it in this way, you can get a better grasp on the reality of your priorities.

However, I do understand that we all live hectic, busy lives, and that it may be easier to start small in bettering your relationship with God. Here are some ways that you can slowly add a little bit more of Him into your day.

Pray: Pray to God that you want to open your life up to Him and invite Him to be more involved in your everyday life. Invite Him to be with you all day everyday, not just Sundays. Ask Him to show you what is keeping you from Him, and to help you rid yourself of those things.

Make small goals: Make a goal that you will pray every morning and night, or before every meal. Make a goal to read a devotional every morning or a bible passage. Something that you know you can attain right now, but that you can build off of and grow later.

Find a community of faith: Having people surrounding you to push you in your faith is an amazing way to build your relationship with God. Try to find a church, college group, bible study, etc. that you can find your people in. Don’t forget to make sure that you investigate their values and make sure they are speaking from the bible, etc.

Spend your first minutes of the day with God: Give your first 10-20 minutes of the day up to God, use this to pray, read the Bible, or worship. Doing this is a way to show that He is the priority of your day, not to mention: what could be a better way to start the day?

If you pray to God today and tell Him you want more of Him in your life and you're willing to do some of these things to get started on putting him on the top of your list; then you are well on your way to creating a better relationship with God even in your hectic life!

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.
