Even On Our Worst Days, God Is In Control

We must remember that God is always with us.

Even On Our Worst Days, God Is In Control
Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church

Have you ever had a day that you just wanted to end? When you thought it couldn't get any worse, it did. I have had many of these days. In fact I had one just the other day.

It all started off when I woke up late. That made me late for work. Then I got to class and found out I did my assignment all wrong and when I got my homework back from my group project I saw that I did not do as well as I wanted to. Then as I tried to go to the grocery store my car wouldn't start. My friend came to jump my car and I was on my way, or so I though. I got to the grocery store, but when I came out my car wouldn't start again. I was to nervous to go back in the store to get help especially since I did not have any jumper cables. I decided to walk to the university to find a friend to help me, considering my phone had died in the store.

What happened to make my day rough is not the point. The point is what happened in between those moments. While I was sitting in my car turning the key hoping in would start, I started crying. I was so mad. How was this actually happening to me. As I was crying I realized that God was with me the whole time. He totally had a plan.

God knew I would find a friend who had jumper cables and was willing to help me. God knew that everything was going to work out even though. I felt like I was having the worst day ever. Even on our worst days HE is still in control.

No matter how you feel remember that your going to be ok and make it through. God has got you and he will never let you go. God is bigger.

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.
