To The Person Waiting On 'The One'

Do not think you need a romantic relationship to complete you.

To The Person Waiting On 'The One'
Ally Rogers

Waiting on the right person can be very difficult, but do not get discouraged or feel hopeless. That person is out there. Whether you know them or not, they are in this world thinking about you, too. God has perfectly made someone for you to love with all of your heart.

In His word it says, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." (Mark 11:24) God is telling us to pray for our future spouse. Pray for their health. Pray for their family. Pray that they know the Lord and are serving Him every day.

I know about waiting because I have waited on my "Prince Charming" for 18 years and I am still wondering when he will make his grand entrance into my life. Yes, it has been hard. It has been difficult when my friends have been in relationships, and I have been the one with no date. Yes, I have never been in a serious relationship, but I have been a part of an epic love story. A love story incomparable to any out there. That love story is that of Jesus, coming down to save warped and crooked sinners like you and me, the greatest love story of all.

I have this constant reminder that God has a great plan for me. He has set someone aside and that person is for me only. That gives me motivation to not get sad or upset because I am single, but smile because I know he is out there waiting on me, too.

This person is going to love you with their whole being (as best as they can), help you grow in your relationship with Christ, and love the Lord with all of their heart. Wait for that. Wait for that person.

If you are single, be strong. Do not think you need a romantic relationship to complete you. This is a time to find yourself. Live your life in service to God, and in His time, He will reward you. The closer you move towards God, the closer that person will move towards you.

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

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.

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.
