College is a great place to learn and grow, but in the midst of learning and growing as an individual it's hard to hold on to your faith in an environment so "of the world." Party's, drinking, boys and so many other influences around us its difficult to hold fast to our standards.
We, as women, tend to have thoughts such as "am I good enough?" "am I beautiful enough" or "smart enough" " am I capable" come on girls, we all do it. We all second guess ourselves and tend to let the fears around us dictate our emotions. It's easy to loose hope and let this things get to us. However, the bible reminds us that we are, in fact, more than "good enough" more than "beautiful enough" and more than "capable"
1. Proverbs 31:25
" She is clothed with strength and dignity and laughs without fear of the future"
2. Psalms 46:5
"God is within her, she will not fail"
3. Luke 1:45

9. 1 Corinthians 15:10

10. 1 Peter 3:3-4
"Don't be concerned about the outward beauty or fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. But instead cloth yourself with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
So next time you feel a little less than what you should feel, I pray you hold on to these verses. College is great and can be greater if you hold on to Jesus and stay true to who you are as a Women of God.
