Chasing After You

Life is hard and everyone wants to be in control of their plans

Chasing After You

I think it's about time that I publicly announce that I have no idea what I'm doing.

I don't why I'm in my major. I don't know what I'm going to do after college. I don't have the slightest idea of what my goal is in my career. I don't know where I'm going to be next year. I don't even know what I'm going eat for lunch or wear tomorrow!

When Things Don't Go As Planned

When Things Don't Go As Planned

I really don't know anything and that can be hard to say. I want control over my life. I want to know every answer.

I bought a planner so I could put my life together and act like I have plan for my life. Like I actually know what I'm doing.

I also like to fool everyone and tell them what I would like to do after college, but honestly, I don't know.

Do you ever feel like that? Do you feel like you don't know where your life is going? Do you ever fool the people around you like that?

In the midst of having a semi-emotional breakdown, I realized that I'm never going to know what to do. I'm never going to have all the answers.

But guess what. IT'S OKAY! know that's hard to believe, but trust me.

Now, this is going to sound really cliché, because I know you've heard "you can't do this by yourself, so give it all to God," or "God has a plan so listen don't worry," millions of times.

But the question is, have you actually done those things? Have you actually gone to God, in prayer, telling Him that you need His help, that you don't know what you are doing and that you need Him in your life? Have you ever asked Him to lead you? Do you actually listen to His plan?

Stop trying to plan your life out on your own. You can't do it.

God wants to help you, but He wants you to ask. He wants to have fellowship with you! He wants you to come after Him because HE IS COMING AFTER YOU!

So, I don't know where I'm going, but I'm chasing after Him. I'm chasing after His grace and His holiness.

It's time to stop chasing after our plans for the future and start chasing after Christ. He will show you your path. You just have to be patient and trust Him.

Chase after Him.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
