What We Need In This Election

God can turn around faster than any number of us ever could.

What We Need In This Election

There is one subject this time of year that gets on most of our nerves when opening any social media. But it has taught us something that must be addressed.

Politics is something that most people hate talking about. The controversial topics in politics cause many people to be uncomfortable. And those who do talk about these topics make them a battleground rather than a place for discussion. But the candidates are another story all together and they have taught America something.

This election has shown us more of something we have already known before this election even started. Money runs the world. Both candidates have scandals of their own (I'll keep my opinion to myself on this one) and there have been virtually no repercussions. Hillary has had her email scandal where she mishandled top secret information and lied about American soldiers being killed and is not even being investigated. While Donald Trump said some rather rude words towards women and has been accused of several accounts of sexual assault. Donald Trump even went so far as to say he is "smarter" than to pay income tax. How are people like these running for the President of the United States?

To make matters worse you have people digging in on both sides who refuse to admit any fault for their candidates. Both sides (for the most part) cannot have rational discussion when it comes to the controversial topics on politics I mention earlier. They would rather argue than to work together to solve these problems.

With both candidates doing as they please and all of their supporters having it out, there is only one thing we can do. We need to pray. God can turn around faster than any number of us ever could. Prayer is more powerful than anyone could ever imagine.

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.
