To The Heart That Wants To Fulfill God's Plan
Favim

I have plans for myself in this life, and God has plans for me in this life. What matters most is if my plans intertwine into God’s plans. It is the same for you, too. God wants you to be all that you can be. You can only fully be who God wants you to be by allowing yourself to step into His plan. You know that dream you have that no one seems to believe in? If you know that is God’s plan for your life, DO IT. I am speaking to myself also as I write this. I know what I have a passion for, and I know that it is God’s plan for my life. But guess what? It is not the plan that other people expect me to live out. People may try to tell you what to do in regards to your career. Money is what often determines what someone’s occupation in life might be. God might want to use you in a place that might not promise a lot of money, but He wants to use you. If you truly follow what God’s desire is for you, He will supply your every need. He will look after you and make sure that you are taken care of because of your obedience. If he cares for the birds of the air, He will surely take care of you.


Look at the birds of the air;

they do not sow or reap or store away in barns,

and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.

Are you not much more valuable than they?

Matthew 6:26

Step out in faith knowing that God will guide your every step. It is easier said than done, but once you do it, your life will have purpose. God will begin to move in your life in ways you did not know possible. He will show Himself evident in situations like He never has before. The only person that can stop you from living out your purpose is you. You have to make the decision that you will live out God’s plan for your life regardless what other people say. God’s approval is far greater than man’s approval.

To the heart that wants to fulfill God’s plan: Steven Furtick states in his book Crash the Chatterbox that, “You either kick fear out of your heart or it will keep you out of the places God has prepared for you.” Jesus has ascended to the right hand of the Father. You no longer have to fear the what ifs. Learn to hear God’s voice above all others. You have the power to overcome the lies of discouragement by speaking the Word of God. His plans for you are greater than your own. Trust that and trust Him. He loves you.

Love,

Madison

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.
