All It Takes Is A Little Faith

Choose Him.

All it takes is a little faith to move a mountain.

This one is for the people who just don't know.

This one is for the people who don't have any answers.

This one is for the person who has faith, despite the bad news.

I listened on the radio to a song called "Even If" by MercyMe. Listen to it. Like right now. It will change you. I balled my eyes out from beginning to end. There is a line that says, "They say it only takes a little faith to move a mountain. Well, good thing a little faith is all I have." It summed me up and I know it sums most of you all up, too.

If there is anything life has taught me over the past year is that this world is not for you. This world is not Team *insert your name*. This world wants you to fall down. This world is of the devil.

But also, this past year has taught me that my God is for me. My God is Team Sydney. My God is for me.

I have learned that the saying "someone always has it worse then you" does not help anything. I have learned that life doesn't give you lemons all the time, nor does it give you what you want. I have had to swallow pride on many occasions.

But, I have also learned that God is faithful through it all. That even though I kick, scream, yell, and pitch a fit, He still holds me tight as ever. That even as I type this, He is reminding me of His promises and that I need to hold on to them.

This life was never meant to be our happy life. Heaven is meant for that. We were made for eternity. We were made to give glory to the Kingdom and then go home. Heartbreak and pain are just small steps towards the final destination.

But, we are human. We doubt that. We want happiness here on Earth. We want what we want. We want to be rewarded. I am just here to tell you that if you fill your brain with the things of this world, you will constantly be disappointed. You will always be let down. You will never be able to find the light at the end of the tunnel. You will never be satisfied. Jesus is the only thing/person that will ever be able to do that.

Choose Him today. All it takes is a little faith.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
