"I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

Here I am

Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I'm longing to see

Your desires revealed in me..." - William McDowell

God has a path for everyone. Despite trials and tribulations, if you let go and allow God to do his will, everything will fall into place. We often try to do what we feel as though is right, without consulting with God. Whether it's a new job, relationship, or opportunity in general-- if things aren't working out after continuously praying to God about it, the situation was not in God's plan.

Everyone has some kind of picture of how we want our lives to be; whether it is a dream, aspiration, or goal. Even though what you want may seem picture perfect to you, it might not be what God intended. It took a ridiculous amount of time for me to realize such thing. After being continuously turned away from something i desperately wanted, I had to accept the fact that it wasn't in God's plan. After thanking him in advance for the opportunities he will put in my life, I was offered an even better plan.

Letting go can be one of the hardest aspects of being a Christian to some. Of course it can be scary, however faith is something that can move mountains. Knowing in your heart that God is going to provide and deliver all of your needs is a feeling that beats no other. Because of the fact that people feel as though they have complete control over their lives, letting go becomes harder. It is impossible for you to be used as a tool without allowing God completely in.

After letting go, and letting God have his way within you, life begins to become clearer. You aren't as stressed as you use to be, and you begin to focus on being a better person. A huge burden is lifted off of your chest. Now, instead of worrying about every aspect of your life, you can focus on thanking God for the things he has put there. God said, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

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.

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.
