Goal For 2017
Kevin Carden

2017 is finally here and I have never been more excited. The Lord is going to work in some amazing ways this year. God revealed to me the importance of asking for what you want. The Bible says "You have not because you ask not." I have been praying for what I want to get out of this new chapter of my life, and what my goals for 2017 will be.

To Be Confident.

To be confident, one of the most beautiful things the Lord can give you. To have the confidence in yourself and your abilities, confidence that God will provide for you, and confidence to stand for what you believe in even if that means you will stand alone.

To Be Content.

I believe this plays a role in the goal of being confident. Being content with where the Lord has you at this moment. Being content with being alone. If you are always looking for the next best thing and always on the move, you may never see what God is doing in your life and what he is trying to show you right now.

To Be Stronger.

After a year like 2016, I feel like all I have left is my strength that the Lord has given me. Remember that God is in control and stand firm in his promises. Be stronger in your faith the God will always proved for you.

To Be Encouraged.

In 2017, surround yourself with only encouragement. Pray for the lord to continue to encourage you to pursue Him with your whole heart. Encourage yourself grow with the Lord in your prayer life. Set the goal to live a healthier and happier life this year.

To Be Joyful.

The JOY of the Lord is our strength. Our hearts desire a joy that can only come from heaven. 2017 is going to be a year of joy and an abundance of His love.

To Be The Light.

The bible says that the World will know the Lords disciples because of their love and their light. My main goal is to use the confidence, contentment, strength, encouragement, and joy to be a vessel for the Lord. 2017 will be the year I let God wreck my heart and I was his light in this world.

No matter what 2017 may hold, never forget that God is in complete control and his love never stops pursuing our hearts.

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.

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.
