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

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
