To The Girl Struggling With Her Christianity In College

"We all struggle. Just know that you're not alone."

First of all, let me preface this by saying: I'm still struggling too.

Standing up for anything you believe in while you're in college is hard. But it's also brave and bold.

Chances are, we have a little bit in common. Back in high school, you were pretty content with your relationship with The Lord and everyone around you pretty much was too.

Then, you got to college.

Sure, there are tons of Christian organizations in college, there are Christian colleges as well. That doesn't make the task of maintaining your personal relationship any easier though.

Sometimes, you'll slip off. You'll forget to say your prayers after a late night out, or you may even find yourself questioning what you were taught growing up. And that's okay.

We all struggle. Just know that you're not alone.

You have God. You have His Word. You have those people in organizations on campus. And you aren't alone, there are girls like us everywhere.

So, just buckle down, and always remember: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go" (Joshua 1:9).

You got this, girl. God will never stop loving you.

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.

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.

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.
