To The One Who Is Afraid To Commit

To my friend who can't commit, get with it.

In life, we make commitments all the time. We make commitments to jobs and friends. We make choices and commit to going to a certain college. We commit to having a healthy lifestyle and to crossing off items on our bucket list. We make commitments in marriage and as Christians we commit to follow Christ every single day. Our human life is full of commitments.

However, this isn’t the case for everyone. Some people just can’t commit. For whatever reason they are notorious for changing plans and saying “maybe” instead of giving a definite answer. They don’t stay in one place for long, and they are in and out of relationships whether that be friends or significant others.

So, to my friend who can’t commit, get with it.

We are people. We make mistakes, but we need each other. We need people we can rely on and people need to be able to rely on us. Be someone others can rely on.

Stop being flaky and scared. It’s okay to commit to plans. Its okay to commit to having friends and being in a relationship. That’s part of what life is!

Pick a place and stick around for a while. Get invested with people. Quit running away when things get hard or you get bored. Try it out and I guarantee good things will come in the end.

Lastly, commit to your relationship with God. He is truly the only person in this life you can rely on 100% of the time. He will never fail you. Find Him, and pursue Him every single day.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters.

Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
