On Your Knees

Fall on your knees to Pray.

97
On Your Knees
Rumi

Get on your knees to pray in the brightest days, or in the latest of nights. Stand to praise the Father, but fall down to your knees in awe at his creation; and see the paintings in the clear-bright skies, through the shadows and the rain, even in the snow and view the sunlight. When it seems so dark and gray that you feel the light has been taken away; fall on your knees and just pray a heart of joy, or even just a message of hope and of thanks. Get on your knees to pray to the Father who loves you so much and is always listening to his children. Fall to your knees and know that you are not alone, and that He is right there beside you guiding you through the obstacles that may come your way. Praise God with all of your heart and even it means falling down to your knees and just saying God, I am your child and You are the Father, please help me through the days and show me that you are always there listening at the other end. People tend to turn to God when the obstacles of life hit them so hard and they ask Where is God, when the answer is He has been there the whole time and we need to be praising him no matter what, because in the end He is in control. Fall on your knees in your prayer and turn your heart over to the one who truly cares, because when the world is pushing you down, you get up on those knees and pray. Amen.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
