I Am Not Ashamed Of My God

I will never feel embarrassed about the love for my Savior.

Lately I have been focusing my entire life around Jesus. I feel as though during the school year, there is so much chaos that I am constantly pushing away my relationship with Jesus, and I tell myself that I will “get back to Him later.” This summer I have found time to slow down and focus on the most important relationship I have, but as I grew closer to Jesus I began to feel ashamed, and I shouldn’t have.

With all of the recent commotion around the world, Christians have been getting bashed pretty hard. I feel like I’m not allowed to talk about my faith and that now it’s considered “risky” if you tell someone you will pray for them. We are viewed as the bad people and everyone hates us because they think that we hate them. It disappoints me because this is 100% not the world God wanted. We were put on this earth to shine His light unto others and show the massive amount of love that God has for us. We are meant to love everyone as our neighbor and recently we have not been doing that. Our country is slowly falling apart and hate is constantly being see and heard.

I want to show the world that I am not ashamed of my God. True Christians have done nothing wrong and we are made to spread love. My God is greater and my love for Him is ever lasting. When I think about all of the other religions, I question why people wouldn’t want to worship my God. He forgives all of my sins, he loves me absolutely no matter what, and every day he shows me a miracle in disguise. God did not plan on war, hate, protesting or killing. These are all things that are brought from free will and are man made.

I wanted to write this article to remind everyone that you should not be ashamed of our God. He is mighty and powerful. I am constantly amazed at the things that he does for me and it is so comforting knowing that I have a trustworthy and loving God that is always there for me. Whenever it feels like the world is down on you, know to look up and seek God. He knows the plans for your life and He only wants the best for you. I am not and never will be ashamed of my God.

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.
