It is a word that we all use. “Wish me luck!” “I wish I had that.” “I wish I was prettier.”

I wish.

I wish..

I wish...

But why are you putting this world in your own hands?

We all sang the song as we grew up. “He’s got the whole world in His hands...”

Now, act upon it. Put the world in God’s hands. He has the ultimate plan. He has the greatest intentions for you life.

He knows. He looks out for you. He’s a leader. He’s a lover. He’s your Father. He is our Lord.

Why are you wishing for yourself when you should be praying?

“I prayed this test will go well.” “I prayed that God will lead me.” “I prayed for this opportunity.”

Change your perspective of who is in control. Give it up to God. He hears you. Talk to Him. Have a chat.

That really awesome day you just had? He wants to hear about it!

That disappointing news you received today? Talk to Him! He will give you strength to bare the pain.

So put aside wishing because that’s in your own hands.

I am not going to wish you luck, but I will pray for you.

You wish you had that? Pray, and see what God provides you. What you necessarily want isn’t always what He has in store for your journey.

You wish you were prettier? Pray and God may lead you to find your beauty.

Prayer is an everyday thing that is overlooked and not communicated about enough.

There is no weakness in prayer or asking someone to pray for you.

If you leave it up to God, anything is possible. And that anything is going to turn into your everything.

Because God never fails.

He loves endlessly.

Why would He stop now?

“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.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. 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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
