To The Worried Girl

So instead of worrying yourself to death and losing sleep over stuff you can't control, give it to God and know that He's on your side.

Hey beautiful,

You must be reading this because you're worried about something. It could be about the upcoming test, a boy, a family issue, a fight with your best friend, a health issue, a financial issue, or so on. It doesn't matter what it is, if you're worried about it then take a deep breath! It will be okay.

What better way to feel better about your situation than reading from someone who thought you were to die for? God knows everything going on in your pretty little mind and He knows that it's also going to be okay. He see's you struggling and constantly thinking the worst situation in your head, but He also gave you the perfect words to relax too.

So I'm going to give you some verses that always seem to ease my mind and remind me of who's in charge of it all.

1. Psalms 46:5- "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day."

But really, just read the whole chapter of Psalms 46.

2. Psalms 50:15- "and call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

3. Psalms 34:17- "The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all of their troubles."

4. Psalms 55:22- "Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken."

5. Psalms 56:3- "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you."

6. Philippians 4:6- "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

7. Philippians 4:7- "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8. Matthew 6:34- "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own."

9. Deuteronomy 31:8- "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

10. Joshua 1:9- "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

11. Luke 1:45- "Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!"

12. Isaiah 41:10- "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand."

13. Jeremiah 20:11- ""For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.""

14. Isaiah 43:2- "When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you."

15. 1 Peter 5:7- "Cast all of your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you."

It's so simple and yet so hard to just let go. So instead of worrying yourself to death and losing sleep over stuff you can't control, give it to God and know that He's on your side. Together, you'll be okay. Remember to look at your storm or your problem and remind it of how big God is.

Love, a girl who's constantly in your shoes but is constantly reminded by God that it's going to be okay.

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.
