When God Gives You A Best Friend

He's actually giving you so much more.

When God gives you a best friend, He basically gives you the other half of your heart. He gives you a person who will finish your sentences, laugh at your not so funny jokes, and tell you the ugly truths that you sometimes need to hear. When God gives you a best friend, he gives you a person to love and be loved by in return.

When God gives you a best friend, He gives you someone to stay up and talk to until 2 a.m. about your current life problems, even though it’s a weekday night and you both have to be up in a few hours for class. He gives you someone that you can somehow still be inseparable with at heart, even if you are separated by physical distance. He gives you someone to go on late night adventures with, even if that just means going to Walmart to make a fool of yourself. He gives you someone to eat way too many calories with (and don’t forget a dangerous amount of cookie dough). He gives you someone that you can build blanket forts with, eat chocolate chip pop-tarts and play Just Dance with (and have no shame at all).

When God gives you a best friend, he gives you someone to share books, music and shoes with. He gives you someone who will tell you that the shirt you picked out is actually ugly, and that you’re not as fat as you think you are. He gives you someone that sends you jokes throughout the day to make you laugh, and cute pictures of puppies to put a smile on your face.

Most importantly, when God gives you a best friend, He gives you someone that becomes more like your sibling. He gives you someone that loves you, encourages you, supports you and cherishes you. He gives you someone to lean on when things get hard, someone to wipe away your tears, someone to push you to keep going when you feel like giving up, and someone to motivate you to be the best you that you can be. When God gives you a best friend, He gives you someone that makes life so much better. I am so thankful God gave me my best friend.

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.
