For Creating a Sisterhood Bond like Never Before

Thank You Letter to Jordan Lee
Jordan Lee Dooley

Dear Jordan Lee,

THANK YOU!

I cannot say it any louder without screaming it through the screen and that technology hasn't happened, yet so this will have to do for now. I want to thank you with the bottom of my and the countless others heart's for creating a space for Christian women to feel comfortable being in their own skins, their own person.

Without your diligence and determination for Christ, many of us would still be feeling lost and completely alone while walking through life. Being a young adult is extremely difficult, more so then our families can understand; society can place such unrealistic standards on us that we feel inadequate. We feel more broken and useless when we compare ourselves to other girls or the images we see on Instagram, I am more than guilty for doing that and feeling like absolute poop afterwards. Society places this simple idea that if something is broken, you simple throw it away because its trash now. We use this logic on how we view people. When someone is broken, messed up, or dirty we want nothing to do with them while we view ourselves as being clean.

But Jordan, you saw through this lie and felt God tug at your heart to create a place where "our brokenness can be welcomed." Where we won't be ashamed of our mistakes of past events. Where we won't be ashamed of being broken and lonely. You created a space where we could live in our brokenness and learn to depend on God to help us through our worries and anxieties. You meet the expectations of what God told you but you beyond that, you have created something where can gain so much more like connecting with other sisters and build life-long relationships. Not just convenient, but life-long relationships something that is hard to find in today's society.

So thank you for being obedient to God, because if you didn't then Soulscripts would be non-existent and none of us would have meet such amazing people. We would not be able to grow and feel connected on a more personal level when it comes to our relationships with Christ, we might have even given up and just said "screw this Christian thing, it's obviously not working." So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Love from the sisters of Soulscripts

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
