I Am Sure of My God

People always say that everything happens for a reason and that God always has a plan for you. It is easy to believe when everything is going well. And then a curve ball is thrown at you. Something that you do not think you can get through. During all of this, open your eyes because God is throwing blessings at you even in the hardest of times.

Not every day is a guarantee. So why spend all of your time moping and having a negative attitude? Yes life is hard and yes things suck sometimes, but my God is good and my God can help me through any situation that life throws at me and I have every intention of praising my God through it all. My God knows every part of my heart, he knows my thoughts and my dreams. He knows what is best for me and he knows what he is doing. I will trust in him during everything. I will thank him for the things he gives and even the things that he takes away from me. Nothing can stop me from loving my God and knowing that my God loves me too.

Knowing that I have a God that has unconditional love for me brings me great joy. I have done nothing to deserve a love that he has given me. He gives me strength to get through every day even when I do not think that I can get through. My God will not let me go. He will hold my right hand and he will guide me on a path where he wants to take me, and if that means letting go of things in my comfort zone then that is what I will do. My God will lead me and love me forever.

I will find joy in all of my circumstances. Every day is a new blessing because I am alive and I get the opportunity to praise my God. I see the trees, I see the flowers and the birds and I see my God. I feel the wind on my face and the cold in the air and I feel my God. He is around me. He is everywhere. He is watching me and protecting me from all things. My God is everything. My God is the only thing I need. My God brings me peace.

How could I be afraid of the future when I have my God writing out my path? He will do everything that is good for me and nothing less. There will be challenges and there will be struggles but I know that My God can help me overcome. He does not give me anything that I cannot handle.

I will wake up everyday and praise my God. Even during the darkest days where I am unsure of my path. I will forever be sure of My God.

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.
