When God Calls

When God calls you to go on a mission trip, you just go.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father and of The Son and of the Holy Spirit." -Matthew 28:19

When God calls you to go, you just go. While the anxieties of the world may begin to creep up inside of you, you just go. We serve a Father who is good and sovereign. If He wants you to go, then you will go and everything will work out in the end the way that it is supposed to. When God calls you to go, the money will come. The time will come. The location will come. The trip will come together so beautifully that you know that it had to be God himself that put it all together.

When God calls you to go, there is nothing to fear but fear itself. God already had your plan written and just, wow, is it so beautiful. God will protect you wherever you are going if you continue to place your faith in God. He is sending you to this location because this is where He needs you to help or where you need to be to be helped.

Mission trips are just so incredible because not only do you get to go and show the incredible love of your Heavenly Father, but you also get to grow as a person. At a meeting for my mission trip in March, we were told of a person in another country being approached by one of the natives. The native told them, "You know God doesn't need you here. God doesn't need you to bring Him here. God is already here. He's allowing you to be here to help, but you're not needed here." That just perfectly sums it up. When God calls you, He's not just calling you to help others. He's calling for a chance to bring you closer.

When God calls you to go, you just simply have to strap in and be prepared for the ride.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Why AI-Generated Music Threatens Human Creativity

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.
