It is so easy to feel like your life is not worth much-- to believe that your life is nothing more than the mundane routine that it life has become. I find myself asking, "What is the purpose of life" or "Do I even have a purpose" sometimes.

But the awesome thing is that each life, mine and yours, has a unique and extraordinary purpose. No matter how we see ourselves, it is important to understand what God says about us.

1. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. (Psalm 139:14)

God made you in His image and knows every single thing about you. He made no mistakes when He made you. Everything about you is intentional.

2. You are a child of God. (Galatians 3:26)

More so, you are adopted into the family of Christ and always, always, always have a home for your heart. You belong. You are wanted. You are loved.

3. You are forgiven. (Ephesians 1:7)

Nothing you have ever done is so terrible that the blood of Christ cannot and will not cover it. You can live in freedom and joy because Christ died so that you could live a fulfilled and meaningful life.

4. You are more than a conqueror. (Romans 8:37)

You are so much stronger than you think you are and you are capable of so much more than you know. Never let anyone tell you anything different because nothing can separate you from the love of God and His plan for you.

5. You have a plan for your life designed by God. (Jeremiah 29:11)

You were made on purpose and you have a purpose. No matter how hard life gets at times, never forget that the God who made the moon and the stars knows your name and crafted you for a specific calling.


When you feel like you have no significance, remember that the Creator of the universe had you in mind from the very beginning. There is a magnificent plan for your life. Go live it!

"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my spokesperson to the world." -Jeremiah 1:5

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
