If God Took Phone Calls

I would ask him to talk so I could listen.

If God Took Phone Calls

If God took phone calls I would have the number on speed dial. I would wait patiently for my opportunity to call each and every day. I would want to ask so many questions; but I would fear so many of the answers I might get.

There are so many times when I wish God took phone calls. Just for a quick 30 seconds to be able to check in, or for an even quicker call to just say, "Help me."

I would want to be able to hear an actual response to my prayers and to my deepest, darkest pleas in the way that all humans crave a response, rather than relying on the faith that life will provide one when we least expect it.

If God took phone calls, I would ask him to talk so I could listen. I would ask why I feel so alone in a crowded room sometimes; or why the world is such a place of confusion and chaos.

If God took phone calls I would hope that every person I ever loved could have a moment on the line just to check in and let me know that they are doing well. I would want to feel their presence with me.

If God took phone calls I would ask for clarity in the path of life I am on and for a new perspective on the world. Maybe this way I could see past the fog and understand the "why" and "how" of the world around me.

Most of all, though, if God took phone calls I would say thank you for today and ask for love and guidance in tomorrow. There is no one phone call I can think of that could give a more powerful sense of confidence, love, and guidance than this one. For now, I will talk to God through the breeze rushing into the car windows, and the into the sunshine of today, and the sunset of tomorrow.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

We Heart It

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. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:
