You Are Enough

He knew you were worth it all.

There are many times that no matter your age, gender, or beliefs, you find yourself feeling like you are not enough. We all feel alone and worthless at some point in our lives. Whether it is because of how someone is treating you or because of what you are going through, yourself; we have all been there.

The times where it seems like the world is against you and you are two feet tall and definitely not enough, you are. When it feels like you can not be enough for God and there is not anything He has for you, He does because you are enough. When you think your future is not going to be what you hope for, it is going to be more because God has a beautiful plan. He has everything worked out because you are enough.

The enemy works overtime to try to get us down. As we scroll through social media, we see other people and it somehow makes us think that we are not enough. If we are constantly believing that we are not enough, what kind of message is that sending to our Creator who made us in His image? We are fearfully and wonderfully made. We are enough.

This might sound a little corny, but God looked all over the earth and thought that it needed one of you. Out of all of the humans, He made you because you are worth it and you are enough.

Shara McKee sings a beautiful song that says, "So let Him hold you, let Him breathe on you. You are not a mistake! Do not be afraid! Let Jesus love you, let Him see you cry. Can you hear Him whisper "everything is gonna be alright?" When you think nobody understands, Jesus does, Jesus does. When you need someone to just to hold your hand, that's what Jesus does."

There is nothing wrong with you. You are not worthless. You are not a mistake.

He knows your name. He knows the number of hairs on your head. He knows your future afar off. He knows what has happened and what will happen. He wanted you. He chose you. He died for you.

He thought you were enough. He knows that you are enough. You were to die for. You were worth it all. You were worth His life.

You are enough! You are enough.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

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.

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.
