Experiencing God's Message Is Everything To Me

It's crazy how God speaks to you in amazing places. Whether it's at church, school, or in your dreams. God will speak to you no matter what position your in. I feel like when God speaks to me, it's with grace and understanding. I'm so grateful that God still speaks to me, even when I mess up. There are times that I mess up in my life, and I felt like God is mad at me. However, I learned that I am human. I change, but God doesn't. God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. With that, he still speaks to me, and he enlarges my footsteps. As he enlarges my footsteps, I will continue to follow his path.

Since this is the season of transition, God is speaking to me about being able to embrace the changes that will happen in my life. I am graduating from a college that is in my comfort zone. I am becoming more independent every day. The first time God spoke to me was through social media. Before your quick to judge, it's very true. I feel like God has a very good sense of humor. Being that I love social media very much. God speaking to me has everything to do with the university I want to go to. So, my dream school is the University of South Florida. i am very active on Instagram. Two accounts from the University of South Florida requested to follow me on Instagram. After that, I saw a student job I was very interested in at the University of South Florida. I talked to my pastor about it, and he said that this is God's way of speaking to you.

Next, I went to a Tye Tribbett concert, and one of the songs spoke to me. The song was "I'll Just Say Yes," by Brian Courtney Wilson. The lyrics said:

"And there is peace when I say yes
I might not see it now
But You save the best
For all who trust You and obey
There is an answer
No more delay"

When those lyrics was spoke, tears came to my eyes. I was so resistant of not leaving, and staying in my comfort zone. But, in that moment, I realized that God doesn't make us to stay in our comfort zones. He created us to live life, and share his light. I realized that leaving what I know, is what I needed to do. I need to transition, because my comfort zone is not my final destination. With God speaking to me, I listened. I received. With receiving, it's surrender. With surrender, I can move forward with my life.

Life can be willing to give my obstacles. But God is bigger then my circumstances. To anyone who thinks that God doesn't hear you, or doesn't speak to you, because of who you are, don't me mistaken. God loves you, and he is always there for you, because that's just who he is. Because God is who he is, who wouldn't serve and love a God 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.

With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
