Never Forget How Blessed You Are

God will always bless you with exactly what you need in life

Never Forget How Blessed You Are
Christina Conti

In life, people always have a way of forgetting just how much they are blessed. They might feel sorry for themselves because they failed a test, but they might have some of the best friends a person could ask for. They might have had their heart broken, but they have the best family in the world to be there for them. They might seem too busy to stand still and that they can't do anything right, but someone looks up to them and thinks the best of them.

I have been guilty of forgetting just how much I am blessed. With a million things to do in my life, I often forget just how amazing my friends and family are but God always has a way of reminding me just how amazing the people he has put into my life are. He is able to remind me with so many supportive friends and family members just how amazing the people in my life are. They never cease to put a smile on my face and show me the love of Christ through their actions.

God places people in your life that are blessings, and He takes away people who are not blessing and enriching your life. Listen to Him when He tells you who is a blessing and who is only temporary. If He ever takes something out of your life, He will always give you something that will bless your life more than the other thing could. Never forget that He always has your best interest in mind. His love for you is unconditional and he shows that through your talents and the blessings you hold most dear in life.

So when you are having a day that seems impossible or something in life has you down, just remember the people who will be there for you no matter what. Those people who will turn a busy week around with encouraging words and sweet gifts. Those people who will make you forget upsetting news and focus on the joys in life. And the people who are always there for you no matter what. Never forget how blessed you are by these people and that God put them in your life for a reason. They are here to show you just how wonderful you are and never let you forget it.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
