Life Is Like A Movie And God Is In The Director's Seat

Do you like movies? Drama, Action, Suspense, Romance?

If you could categorize your life into a movie genre, what would it be? I would have to choose suspense. I love movies that are real nail-biters, something that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is kind of how a life is with God, a suspense, but in the best way possible.

Your life is in God’s hands and you are watching each scene from the seats in the theatre. Sometimes, you have all the faith in the world about future opportunities and others you are scared of what is to come. And I am here to tell you that this is OKAY. It is okay to be scared, nervous, worried, upset, and disappointed. This is because even if you don’t realize it at the time, God is already working on the sequel, the next big moment in your movie of life. I promise you at this very moment as you are sitting here reading this, he is working on 10 billion things in your life right now and you may only recognize three. He is working behind the scenes to create the beautiful masterpiece of your life.

Of course just like any great film, there are bloopers. This is where God challenges us to laugh at our mistakes and learn from them. Sometimes the best scenes in life take a couple of takes but that is OKAY. God will meet you wherever you are at. He is willing to wait for you wherever you are and walk with you to where you want to be. This is one of the coolest things in the world. Just think about it, you can be going through life in fast forward or maybe even rewind or pause and God will present in your life wherever you are and He will wait as long as you need before your film continues. This goes for any and every event, hope, wish, or desire under the spectrum. Whether it be your faith journey, a personal goal such as getting a new PR this track, or passing your math test, He's got you!

When the movie of your life gets sad, He will be there with a tissue. When the movie of your life gets scary and you are afraid to open your eyes, He will hold your hand and comfort you. When the movie of your life has you filled with joy and laughter, He will be there to smile with you.

Matthew 28:20 “Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

If you were only skimming through this article up until this point, this is what you should know. Jesus says:

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS TO THE END OF THE AGE. WITH. Jesus does not say will be, not should be, not would be. He says I am WITH you and that is something truly spectacular.

~peace n' blessings~

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.
