Gods promises. They are beautiful gifts and serve as very important things in your life. They often come from great prayer, and worship. They are unseen in that God loves to give surprises. He likes to give us things that are operational in His will, things that serve a purpose for His bigger pursuits. God’s heart is often engraved in the things He promises us. They are not the light at the end of the tunnel, but they are small particles of that light. God is the light.


Just as it states in His word, Philippians 4:19, “but my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.” These promises are part of His pursuit. They are the epitome of Him. Psalm 37:4, “take delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” They are the desires for a heart that chooses to desire Him.

I remember praying fervently for the things that God has given me. I remember when God revealed what He has promised for me. Often this happened in the moments that I sought Him and His will for my life. Always remember, when you seek God’s will: His Will will run after you. Some nights I remember staying up just to hear from Him. I remember worshiping Steffany Gretzinger all the while the Holy Spirit was speaking His promises over me. God often does that in the time that you need it. When discouragement or loss of strength occur in your life, He will often show up and remind you of those promises.

Maybe His promises are for your finances, or your health, or your relationships. Maybe God wants to heal your heart or heal your mind. Whatever God has promised to you, I want to encourage you. Those promises are coming to past in your life. They will come in God’s timing and they will come. Your waiting season is almost over, sons and daughters. As it is coming to a close, continue to delight yourself in the Lord. And when discouragement takes over, speak the word and His promises over yourself. As you conform to God’s will, He will perform the things that He desires for your 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.
