This Is For When You Feel Alone

He Is Good

This Is For When You Feel Alone
YMI

A girl sits in her dorm room, sick (from bad food) when a dance is going on. It's Friday night and while almost every girl on campus is outside taking pictures in their prom dresses, she sits alone, sick. And the day before she realized her car battery died, so going somewhere is not an option.

Okay, that was a little dramatic, it really wasn't that bad, but sometimes college is hard. You will wish your parents were here many, many times. You will wonder why everyone seems to be in a relationship but you. And you will wonder what your future will be like and what you should do to get there.

Through all the drama, endless schoolwork, and surprises of everyday life, God is still in control. Through it all my eyes on are Him! Okay so I may not keep my eyes on Him all the time, but I pray everyday for me to be focused on Him and for Him to guide me and use me. So in this sick-filled and unglamorous Friday night, I will rejoice in Him and what He is doing!

I will praise the Lord, who counsels me;
even at night my heart instructs me.
I keep my eyes always on the Lord.
With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices;
my body also will rest secure,
because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead,
nor will you let your faithful<a href="http://biblehub.com/niv/psalms/16.htm#footnotes" title="Or holy">b</a> one see decay.
You make known to me the path of life;
you will fill me with joy in your presence,
with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
Psalm 16:7-11

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.
