Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

1 TO EVERYTHING there is a season, and a time for every matter or purpose under heaven.

2 A time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted,

3 A time to kill and a time to heal, a time to break down and a time to build up,

4 A time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance

5 A time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones together, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 A time to get and a time to lose, a time to keep and time to cast away

7 A time to rend and a time to sew, a time to keep silence and a time to speak

8 A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace.

Whatever season you are in be grateful in it, learn from it, and grow from it. We don't have to be worried or upset when we are going through things in our lives. The word teaches us that there is a season for everything, and it will pass.

Every aspect of your life is lined up according to His word. Embrace every season that you encounter. I'm learning to be thankful in my seasons.

God sets a time for everything.

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. 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:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
