Embracing New Opportunities Despite The Fear Inside

Change is often times scary, but sometimes you just have to embrace it and know that is what God has you here for.

Embracing New Opportunities Despite The Fear Inside

I am entering my junior year of college, and I can already see that there are going to be so many changes happening this year.

On top of being able to start my program at school, I just got a new position as a Delight leader. Delight was a big help for me, and because of that community of girls, I grew so much in my faith. I never thought in a million years that I would be the one on the board of this chapter. I talked back and forth with myself before committing to an interview because honestly, I was scared.

I was scared to embrace this change, and to take a chance not knowing what the outcome would be. I had my interview a few days ago, and it was a great experience. I got to talk to all the girls, and they asked me some questions. I felt my stress slip away as I was talking because I realized that I already know these ladies. After the interview, I went all day wondering how I did. Did I mess up? Did I say something dumb? Every question ran through my mind.

Around 4 o clock, Cayla called me and told me that I had gotten the spot that I interviewed for. I was so excited, and I could hear in her voice that she was so excited to have me on this team with her and the other leaders. I am so thankful for this new opportunity, even though I have no idea what I am doing.

I am counting on God, and these other ladies to guide me until I get used to this new role. Change is hard, and change is often times scary, but sometimes you just have to embrace it and know that is what God has you here for.

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.

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.
