Why "Y'all Need Jesus"

What he has done for me, and What he CAN do for you.

Why "Y'all Need Jesus"
Haley Kleimola

To me, Jesus is someone more than just "God." He is my source of comfort when I am feeling stressed, happiness when I am feeling down, and ultimately just feeling him move in mighty ways can turn a bad day entirely around.

There are certain reasons why I feel that everyone can benefit from a relationship with Christ. Because personally, without him I would be nothing.

The older I get and the more my friends shift around, it feels good to have someone that I know will always be there. To talk to, and ask for guidance. It may sound weird, but if you have felt the love of God you will never be the same.

One of my favorite songs is entitled "Brave" by a Christian Group call Hillsong United. The lyrics of this song repeat over and over "You make me brave, you called me out beyond the shore into the waves." This song speaks to me in mighty ways. First of all, God gives us the strength to begin what we are afraid to do. Let's say I'm going to go and talk in front of a big crowd. I am very afraid but GOD gives me peace to overcome. Another reason why I love this song is because it clearly states that God has called us, and has a specific plan for us. As an undecided major in my freshman year of college, this really gives me peace because it reminds me I have no need to worry about my future.

Becoming the person God wants me to be through the way I speak, act, and carry myself are also the things that are important to me. God calls us to be his children, and to show his love to everyone around us. I am confident in my relationship with Christ, in which I can accomplish anything I put my mind to, I can finish anything I start, and I can show love to everyone I meet. No matter who they are or where they come from, I am confident that I can tell others about Jesus just by saying hello to someone in the hallway, or just being genuinely nice.

Thankful for a God who died for me, so I'm going to live for him 100%.

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.
