Girl, You Are More Than Enough

"You are loved." "You are enough!"

Girl, You Are More Than Enough

Being a girl in today's society can be tough.

There are so many things out there that can make us feel like we are "less than".

We see the girls on Instagram that seem to have it all together..

They have the perfect body, their makeup is always "on point", they have that sweet little boyfriend that they always post about, they work out every day, and the list could go on and on.

We continuously compare ourselves to others. Numerous times a day.

I get it. I do it too!

But.. those things don't matter!

Sure, it's good to be in shape and have a decent body. Sure, it's cool to have nice makeup. Sure, it's cute to have a little boyfriend.

There is so much more to life than those things.

Your body is going to age. Makeup trends will change. And you probably won't be true lovin' with that boy for the rest of your life.

We often times see these things and start to shame ourselves. That is when it becomes a problem. Actually, no. Comparing ourselves to others period isn't a good idea at all.

God created you the way that you are for a reason.

He thought out every single detail of your being.

He loves you! So so much.

You are enough, girl!

That is something that I hold dear to my heart.

I often times catch myself being too hard on myself and comparing myself to others or believing the lies that the enemy throws my way..

That is when I stop and say to myself, "Summer..you are enough!"

And you.. whoever you may be.

You are enough.

You are loved. You have a purpose.

Hold your head up high.

The God that created the mountains, the birds in the sky, the very ground that we walk on every day.. thought the world needed a you!

That is awesome!

I really can't say it enough..

Like, I want to shout it from the rooftops that you are enough!

Regardless of what some punk says about you. Regardless of what those other girls say about you. Regardless of what satan tries to get you to believe. You are enough!

You are loved so so much by God. A God that sent His only Son to die on the cross for your sins, so that you could be forgiven!

So the next time that you find yourself comparing yourself to others, or being tough on yourself and the way that you look..remind yourself that you are loved and you are enough!

I promise you that when you begin to remind yourself of that daily it will make a difference. You will start feeling better about yourself. So I encourage you to try it!

Simply say.. "_________, you are enough!"

With much love,

Summer

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.
