Woe Is Me For I Am Unclean

Through Him I am cleansed.

If you look up the word unclean, the meaning of the word is pretty basic. Dirty, with synonyms such as filthy, murky, impure, and foul. But sometimes if I were to think of the word 'unclean' I feel as though the definition is me. I'm sure we've all been there (I know I have) We've all had those days where we feel like our day is a big pit of sin and we just seem to keep falling into it.

I've had those days where I know God is just looking down on me shaking His head. I've also had the days where I feel like He's not even looking at me at all.. I've had the days where I'm trying to distract my mind so that I don't have to ask for forgiveness, and then there are the days where the only thing that comes out of my mouth is a plea.

I am unclean. I am dirty. I am filthy. I am murky. I am impure. I am foul. Above all, I am a sinner. I think one of the problems with "church" today is that we sugar coat our problems. We ignore our feelings and put on a mask of disguise. We are ashamed to admit where we fall and we are scared that the looking glass we face every day will crack if we speak of our actions.. And for the "big sins" it might even shatter.

But I am here to tell you, well actually write to you that 1 Timothy 1:15 speaks VOLUMES. "Here's a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into a world to save sinners - of whom I am the worst."

I am unclean but through Him I am cleansed and so are you. His mercy renews each morning, rest in it. Nothing you confess could ever make Him love you any less.

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.
