I Finally Took The Leap Of Faith That God Was Calling Me To

"She's not afraid of the wait anymore, for she knows He will open doors beautiful and perfect in their time."

Throughout the past few weeks and months, I have been thinking a lot about the plan that God has for my life. For so long, I thought it was teaching. But I came to realize that I was wrong. Teaching is not what God has planned for me anymore.

I have struggled with the GKT for at least a year, and I started to get frustrated and doubt that God even had a plan for my life. I questioned Him, and myself. I started to lose sight of my future and lived in the fear that I was not going to make it.

In the past few days, I have spent so much time immersed in the Word, and prayer. I am decided to take the leap of faith and change my major to journalism. I don't really know what I am going to do with this major, but I am trusting that when God closes a door He is going to open a window for me. I know that He won't leave me in the dark, even if I can't see Him yet. He is working on me and has bigger plans for my future than what I can see. God is begging me to trust Him right now in this season, and even though I have my reservations about it, I know it is what is best for me.

There is a quote by Morgan Harper Nichols that says "she's not afraid of the wait anymore, for she knows He will open doors beautiful and perfect in their time." I think this quote pretty much sums up what I am trying to believe for myself and my life. God knew what I was doing with my life before time even began, and if that is not a comforting thought I don't know what is.

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.
