3. Breathe by Jonny Diaz

This song is such a great reminder to take a deep breath in between all the craziness of life. At some point in life we are all struggling with stress or other things life throws at us. In the song it says, "Breathe, just breathe Come and rest at my feet And be, just be Chaos calls but all you really need Is to just breathe". Just Breathe and thank God for what you have!

This song is very very moving to anyone who is going through a hard time in life and dealing with self confidence. In the song it says, "Fear he is a liar He will rob your rest Steal your happiness Cast your fear in the fire' Cause fear he is a liar". In the song, it is talking about people getting in your head and telling you that you aren't worth it. The music video is very sad but eye opening.

9. Air I Breathe By Mat Kearney

This song is talking about how God is with is in everything we do and as christians we should share his word to others. Everytime we talk it should be for God.

God is very forgiving and will always try to push us to the fullest.

11. Blessings by Laura Story

This song is such a great reminder that God gives us blessings that we can be very grateful for. In the song it says, "'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops, what if your healing comes through tears, what if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know you're near what if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise." This song is an amazing way of showing what God does for us even if they are not direct.

People want the situation to be changed for better but little to people know that God gave you this hard situation to grow closer to God and so God can teach you something.

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.
