So I created a second channel specifically for music and music videos. It will be for the kind of music that I love to listen to. Here are the first 2 videos I did today. I hope you will consider helping me grow my music channel.
Hello everyone and I hope you had a good Friday. I am just going to write a little bit about something I was thinking of doing with my YouTube Channel.
I only have 141 subscribers :(
I need 1,000 subscribers to be monetized and 4,000 watch hours.
I honestly do not think my channel will ever get monetized at this point. I want to continue making songs with Suno AI and to make Sim4 videos. If you read my last blog post, then you probably heard my latest Sims song “A Looping Love.” The song revolves around Bella Goth. I want to separate it from my main channel. I will still write on here to give you behind the scene’s information on the story behind each song. I will most likely create a page specifically for that.
So, I do believe that -that is what I am going to do. I am going to call my new channel “Lisa’s AI Music & Visuals”. If you think separating my music from my main channel is a good idea, please let me know. Of course, it will be a faceless channel. Unless you are reading this, you most likely not know who Lisa is.
Okay, well, thanks for reading! Please let me know what you think? I hardly ever get comments or input from anyone.
I think that Karma has brought me to where I am right now. I have a growing YouTube channel, and I have this WordPress blog. Karma refers to the consequences of a person’s actions, but I guess the fate/destiny thing is where I belong. Good Karma has brought me to my destiny and that is being here. I can share my life with you in a way that only I can. It’s the only way I know how.
As you may know, I love to play Sims4. I have written a couple of song about Bob and Eliza Pancake and one song about Bella and Mortimer. Well, now I have another song about Bella which is from Bella’s point of view. I haven’t posted it on my YouTube channel yet because I want to create a video like I did with Eliza Pancakes song “Flippin’ for Love.”
Here is the new song for Bella. Please let me know what you think if you play Sims4. I would appreciate it so much and watch out for the video on my YouTube channel. I will create a new blog post for it when I post it for you to watch.
Won’t you go to my YouTube channel and watch my live video? I only have 141 subscribers and 221 public watch hours. I need 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours to get monetized. I don’t have much to say until my brother and sister-in-law joined in to chat. I want to go live more often but I need subscribers who would join in and ask me questions.
And my dog’s got into the video too. I want you to meet Buddy, Trixie and Peanut. I have a song about Trixie on my YouTube channel too. It is called “Trixie the Shredder”. She is also a kangaroo, lol.
Music has a way of conveying our most intense emotions, hardships, and faith in something higher. God Has Good Ways is a song about perseverance, heartache, and, finally, heavenly redemption. It portrays the journey of a woman looking for herself, stumbling through life’s difficulties, and discovering that God’s love endures—even when everything else fails.
A Journey of Self-Discovery
The song begins with a woman who relocates to California in pursuit of something—perhaps independence, healing, or perhaps romance. Many of us may identify with the idea of needing distance to rediscover ourselves. Sometimes life gets overwhelming and stepping away seems to be the only way to gain clarity.
False Promises and Heartbreak
In the second stanza, she encounters a man who looks to have all the answers, someone who is kind and loving—almost too good to be true. But behind the surface, his love is empty and is founded on dishonesty. This verse emphasizes the harsh truth that not everyone who appears sincere has our best interests at heart. It symbolizes those times in life when we put our trust in the wrong people, only to be disappointed.
Grace in the Darkest Moments
The third verse evolves from sorrow to strength. After experiencing heartache and loneliness, she acknowledges that true love and healing come from inside, from God. She regains her identity through prayer, faith, and patience, realizing that she was never truly alone.
The Heart of the Chorus
“God has good ways of mending the broken, lifting the weary, the lost, and the stolen.”
These lines serve as a reminder that no matter how lost we feel, God is always at work behind the scenes. Even in our darkest moments, His grace is with us, guiding us back to the light.
The Bridge & Outro: Restoration and Hope
The bridge represents transformation—how God transforms despair into something new, like “ashes into morning dew.” The outro provides a last reassurance: even when life seems unpredictable, God is in control. His love endures, His plans unfold in perfect time, and He always finds a way.
Final Thoughts
God Has Good Ways is a song of Hope. It reminds us that our challenges do not define us, and that even when we feel abandoned, God is still present, gently guiding us onward. Whether you’re going through a time of loss, transition, or renewal, this song reminds you that you’re never completely alone—because God has good ways of caring for His people.
A Personal Reflection on “GOD Has Good Ways”
When I wrote God Has Good Ways, I didn’t just want to tell a story; I wanted to convey an emotion. That sense of being lost, of looking for something (or someone) to fill the voids in your life, and then discovering that genuine healing comes from inside and through God.
Looking back on my own life, I’ve had moments of serious thought, when I wondered where I was going and if things would ever come together. I, like the women in the song, have experienced heartbreak and disappointment. I’ve also experienced what it’s like to regain strength and discover that God was always present, working in ways I couldn’t see.
In a sense, this song is about all of us. We’ve all pursued things that seemed right in the moment but left us feeling empty. We’ve all experienced pain that left us wondering whether we’d ever recover. And we’ve all had those moments when we reflect and realize that God was directing us the entire time.
I reflect on my journey, including my years of marriage, the ups and downs of living in a small town, the ambitions I continue to pursue, and the stories I tell through music, writing, and my Married in Arkansas YouTube channel. Every step, whether it seemed like a mistake or a blessing at the time, developed me into the person I am today.
If you’re in a time of insecurity, I hope this music reminds you that no time is wasted. Even when things don’t make sense, God has a way of transforming grief into meaning.
Some songs are inspired by imagination, while others are inspired by real-life experiences—the kinds of feelings that linger long after a chapter is completed. “When You Are Not Around” is one of those songs for me.
It illustrates an experience that I am all too familiar with: the emptiness that remains when someone who was once a significant part of your life was suddenly gone. Not only physically, but in every way that counts. The echoes of their presence linger in unexpected places. A familiar melody, an old habit, the way quiet feels heavier than it did before.
I wrote this song with my own experiences in mind. I do have an ex-husband, and while life goes on, there’s something about that kind of loss that never truly goes away. The routine, the inside jokes, the arguments—they all come to an end one day. So, what’s left? Empty rooms, fading memories, and a version of oneself that no longer feels complete.
I’ve moved on from that period of my life, but that doesn’t imply the feelings were never real. And I believe that is why this song is so important to me. It’s not about wanting things back; it’s about realizing how loss affects us. Even as we heal, the ghosts of the past resurface at peaceful moments.
Perhaps this song will speak to those who have gone through something similar. Perhaps it will remind you of a moment when you felt like this. Perhaps it will simply be a song you listen to when you need to sit with your emotions for a bit.
Either way, I hope this song finds the people who need to hear it.
What’s Next?
This music will be available to listen to anytime you want on my Youtube channel. If you’ve ever been through a similar loss, I’d love to hear your comments on what helped you move ahead. Leave a comment and let’s have a conversation.
I was thinking that starting a WordPress blog would give me a creative outlet besides YouTube. And do you know what? It has. It is. And it will be.
I have to started changing a lot about what I think, how I go about my day, and how I feel about other people.
Changing the way I think, maybe because I am older now, gives me more wisdom. Or maybe it’s because I can see people for who they really are. Have you ever just gotten a feeling about a person you just met? Good or bad? Doesn’t matter – just a feeling that comes from your gut. I want to call it intuition or just a knowing that comes from a place deep inside your soul.
Changing how I go about my day to day life is a little bit challenging right now because I have a 9 to 5 job. I’m no Dolly Parton but I feel stuck in that rut. I have to remind myself that I am there for the money because, as a writer, I can’t live off of air. My goal is to have enough subscribers here that will follow me and pay for a subscription or go to my YouTube channel and subscribe to help me to be monetized there. I have 3 1/2 years before I can retire so I am changing my day to day to reach those dreams.
Finally, as for how I feel about other people, I have always treated others as how I want to be treated. That is my golden rule. Do onto others as you want them to do upon you. But really, people are not perfect and I used to think that there were perfect people. I always thought that I was always in the wrong and I did everything backwards but now, I am finding others that think like I do. Others that like what I do, others that like what I write, and others that I consider to be part of my tribe.
Story Time – my son was friends with this girl who lived in a different state. She needed a place to live so he offered her a place to live. Long story short- this girl who was just as backwards as I felt, was smart as a whip but lacked common sense (I am honorable part of that class of people) came to stay with us for a short few months. She really helped me a lot with cooking and taking care of computer issues and it was nice to have another female in the house to have an intelligent conversation with. But there is one thing she told me- she told me I need to find my tribe. I hope that if you are still here and interested in what I have to say that I can consider you as part of my tribe. If so, would you give this little rant a like, a comment and checking out my YouTube channel to help make my monetization dreams come true.
Bob and Eliza Pancakes live in Willow Creek in the SIMS4 World. Here is just a little love triangle from Eliza’s point of view. I hope you enjoy.
If you liked this Sims4 music video, please go to my YouTube channel. Watch the video and give me a thumbs up. Also, consider subscribing. As you may already know, I am trying to get monetized on Youtube. I am hoping that videos like this will be my niche.
I spent half of today editing my WordPress website’s YouTube page. I have a lot of subscriptions and find it difficult to keep track of them. Youtube does not have anything like a folder where you may categorize them by category. It is difficult to identify and sort through so many subscriptions. I wanted to compile a list of the primary channels I follow on one page and share it with everyone in case you’re interested. I organized them into categories and created explanations for each channel so you could understand what it was about.
If anyone has tips to make YouTube subscriptions easier, please let me know.
As an adolescent, I lived in a house that seemed to have its own life. From the creaks in the floorboards to the strange sounds that resonated down the halls, it constantly felt like something—or someone—was watching me. These bizarre incidents lingered with me long after I left the house, and I realized that the memories of that location would haunt my creative soul indefinitely. That unsettling inspiration eventually became the basis for a song I wrote, one that captures the feelings, terror, and mystery I felt all those years before.
When I started writing the song’s lyrics, I intended to convey the spooky feelings I had as a young girl in that haunted house. The atmosphere of terror and disorientation I experienced, the shadows that appeared to dance just out of sight, and the sense of helplessness in the face of something far stronger than myself are all reflected in the song. It seemed alive, full of unspoken tales and mysteries, and it wasn’t just a house. Here’s a sneak peek at the lyrics inspired by these feelings.
The tone of anxiety is established in verse 1 with the fear of being awakened by whispering in the middle of the night. I can still recall those times when I was lying in bed, hearing unreal sounds yet feeling them with all of my senses. It seems as though there is no way out because of the walls crowding in and the shadows moving on their own. I was surrounded by fear like a thick blanket, and I never really got over it.
Verse 2 describes the sensation of being followed by someone invisible. The echoes of footsteps in the corridor, a cold sensation running down your spine as if someone—or something—was present but you couldn’t see it. I always felt watched, as if the walls themselves had eyes, and the scariest aspect was not knowing what would happen if I slipped up.
The Chorus is the heart of the song, in which I ponder on the house’s unwavering grip on me. It wasn’t just a haunted house in a creepy, mythical sense; it was an actual location with ghosts of twilight and gray. The wails and screams of the past appeared to reverberate in the air, as if the house was playing a game with me that I could never win. It seemed like I was stuck in a chess game, where I was always the pawn, helpless and inconsequential.
Verse 3 introduces the tangible manifestations of the haunting: rattling windows, slamming doors, and the unending darkness. I felt like there was nowhere to escape or hide. Those icy, invisible hands reaching from the bottom and the words pleading for more made me feel helpless and insignificant. The home seemed to be demanding my attention, drawing me into its twisted embrace.
Verse 4 depicts a rising sensation of imprisonment. Every corner held a fresh horror and a new secret. The thump of my heartbeat as I attempted to navigate the house served as a continual reminder that I was always on edge, racing against time and terror. But no matter where I turned, I couldn’t get away from the house’s merciless grasp; it was always in charge.
The Outro adds to the eerie mood, with flickering flames and murmurs twisting inside my dreams. This is where I consider the thought that the house wields power over me, locking me in an eternal loop. It reigns supreme in my memory, a place I can never leave, no matter how much time passes. It’s the ultimate twist, the house’s unbreakable grip on me, and it feels like it’ll never let go.
When I look back, I understand that those scary situations, although leaving me rattled, inspired something creative and long-lasting. This music allows me to process my concerns, transforming what was previously a source of anxiety into something artistic. It reminds me that even the most traumatic situations can shape who we are today.
So, while the mansion previously held me captive in dread, it now has a special place in my heart because it inspired my song. And, in some ways, it has finally allowed me to change roles—no longer the pawn, but the one who gets to tell the story.
