You Are More Than A Conqueror

We all go through hardships in our lives, we face trials we think we cannot get through, and we feel alone. We let this brainwash us into thinking we aren't capable of growing stronger, being happy, or even just "winning" the day. However, none of that is true.

Did you know that God thinks of you as more than a conqueror?

The dictionary definition of a conqueror is a person who conquerors or who gains a victory. In Romans 8:37 it says, "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."

If you are like me you probably already think of Jesus as being a conqueror. He conquered death! BUT GUESS WHAT! He thinks you are ALSO a conqueror. Being more than a conqueror is knowing that, through every trial in life, God is with you and, through him, you WILL overcome. You are NOT alone.

Steven Chapman sings in one of his hit songs, "We are more than conquerors, we are more than conquerors. God, if You are for us who can be against us? What can separate us from Your love?"

Yes, YOU are more than a conqueror. Nothing this world throws at you can separate you from God and his love. Start living your life like you are more than a conqueror because God already thinks you are.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
