"For I know the plans I have for you declares the LORD.plans for welfare, and not for evil. Plans to give you a hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

We all probably know this verse very well, enough to not have to look at it, but do we really sit down and meditate on the meaning behind the verse?

I know I have these past few days preparing for this big step we call college. Along with college comes with many different emotions and sometimes happiness as well. But the one thing that keeps me going is the passion I have for Christ and how much I really want him to change me for the better and use me during this new season.

Last night while I was having dessert with my department I was able to speak to someone whom I just met about what we both want to see here at GC and how we both had the same passion for Christ. At first I was really nervous and my hands were still shaking from Saturday night, but the Lord just knew the right words at the right time.

During that moment, for the first time since I got there. I felt at ease. I felt like everything was all starting to fall into place and it was all because of him and his glory and I can't begin to tell you how much it amazes me that he was able to use my struggles and strengths to help those around me. I also hope that he will continue to do so.

So if your at a stance in your life where you don't feel comfortable with your surroundings like me. Just trust him and strive for his presence. He will show you the light and the way of which you should go and will do so.mant great things for you that you would never imagine.

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.

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.
