5 things God has taught me.

Even when my strength is lost I’ll praise You.

I'm a huge believer that everything happens for reason and somehow God had His hand in every single part of it. These are the five things that I have learned throughout the last year or so from God. Now, every day He teaches me something new but these five things He has taught me over and over again.


1. The process will be longer than I want. Life isn’t going to happen the next day and I won’t be able to make it happen in a short amount time. This process takes time, patience and the trust that God knows what He is doing.

2. God knows exactly what He is doing, and His plan is more impeccably greater than mine will ever be.

3. Patience isn’t easy. I am the most impatient person you will ever meet. I hate waiting for things to happen but trusting in God with my dreams has made that easier.

4. Learning how to trust God has made my faith in Him stronger. I am not the perfect human being and He knows that. I once read on Instagram during Easter a quote that I have kept with me for a while. It was “He died the death I should’ve died and I live the life He should be living.” That quote isn’t exactly how it was read on Instagram but you get the point of it. It is so true and has stuck with me from that point on.

5. No matter what I do, where I am or how I feel about my current situation God understands. That took me a while to understand myself. I knew I trusted Him with my life and this plan for my dreams but I never understood that He understands this impatience, fear and turmoil I feel on some days. God understands. That’s an amazing experience to feel.

No matter how rough this storm gets, I’m not gonna fear like I use to. I have God by my side and I am a warrior. Times will get rough and I will lose some faith if this process is in fact going like He wants. Those are the moments He sends me comfort, peace and just the right about faith to get me back on track. God has my plan in tact, and I am fully ready to let this fear go away for the known fact that God has me in His hands and life is impeccably amazing that He is in my corner.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
