This is a terrible place to be a Christian. It's so hard
Good morning ! Happy Saturday! I just want to say how fortunate it is that you know Jesus and how wonderful your walk is at this age.
I went to college for one year , then quit to get married. and yes 12 years later ended up divorced.

I know we at times have negative thoughts in our heads. But I encourage you to look at this time in your life as an opportunity to use the gifts the good Lord gave you. When you get out of bed, thank God first and foremost for waking up another day and being able to share his word. Ask God to guide you that morning. Ask God to put people in your life that you can share with and uplift and ask God to put people in your life that can continue to uplift you and strengthen your walk with him. You will be amazed at how your day goes and what people will come in your path!

There are alot of hurting students on campus. Ones that do not know Jesus. How awesome God has put you there to be a messenger of his word. When walking to class , look around you, get into the habit of watching others. You will see many that are walking around with their heads down and no bounce to their step. Give them a smile, give them a hello. You have something within yourself that so many others do not.
When people start to see the shining light and glow you have they will be drawn to you.

Do look for opportunities to get involved in Christian ministry opportunities that are there. I moved to a new apartment last May. It is on the main street of where there is a campus. At night, I hear the drunken students outside, I pray for them. I get out of bed and see them walking down the street. The other night , there was 8 boys staggering and being loud, a short distance behind them walked one single girl. I thought what a bad scene that was. There she was, with her tight jeans and heels, following them down the street.

Yes there is great temptations out there at campus and in all of our own worlds. But rely on the Lord and his strength. Stay in his walk. Do not veer off on your own path or the dark path of others.. it only leads to death in many ways..

You are a special child of God. He has created you. Rejoice in his love.
I am so proud of you! You are an awesome young woman!

Have a super week-end!
