God Has A Plan for You

Before I begin or go any further in this article I want you to know that God has a plan for you! Yes YOU, the one reading this. Despite how you may feel or what you think, know that you are not here by mistake. Many of us are in the process of finding ourselves, who we truly are, what we like/dislike, and our purpose in life. My only goal by the end of this article is to push you and encourage you to keep moving forward. For some, aspirations and visions are more clearer to others. They may come quicker to others than some but do not let that discourage you form still trying to figure out what you were born to do. If you're not in school and are working, I advise you to try different things; see what peaks your interest and what does not. Don't be afraid to take yourself out on a date. The purpose of this is to simply learn more about yourself. What are you passionate about? What do you enjoy doing in your free time? i.e reading, writing, drawing, singing, learning? What motivates you? What keeps you up at night? Most likely whatever this is this IS WHAT you need to be doing. If your thing is helping people, doing hair, playing video games, cleaning,debating ....So be it because you can make a career out of anything. Do not ever let people tell you you CAN'T because YOU CAN. I believe your purpose is in whatever your are passionate about! You may have the next revolutionary cleaning service, be a philanthropist, game creator, or radio host. In your times of wanting to give up, remember to look to the hills because that is where your help comes from. Trust that God has a plan for you. You not useless or taking up space. Don't be ordinary be extraordinary. Be yourself and stop trying to fit in with the world's standards and America's box because the plan God has for your is so much greater! Know that it is going to blow your mind once it comes to fruition. Trust the process. The journey you are on must be a journey of faith. Keep believing, keep hoping, and keep pursing. Know that each step is taking you towards your destiny!!!

Jeremiah 29:11-14 NLT

"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. " They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. I will be found by you, "says the Lord. "I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your own land."

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.
