You Are More

"Don't allow someone to make you feel like you aren't good enough."

You Are More
justtflow

We live in a world where we are constantly told we are not enough. Not good enough, not smart enough, not bright enough, not pretty enough, etc... Personally, this is something that I have struggled with and continue to struggle with most days. I never feel adequate enough, and I have people/things in my life that always make me feel like I can't ever be enough.I'm a loser. I'm pathetic. I will never win. I'm sure that many of you struggle/have struggled with this as well. I'm here to tell you that you are more. The devil thrives on making us feel inadequate. Don't listen to the lies.

What's most important is what God tells us, what God knows we are and created us to be. So let me go into scripture here. What does it say? What does He tell us?

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." -Ephesians 2:10

"Because you are precious in my eyes, and honored, and I love you, I give men in return for you, peoples in exchange for your life." -Isaiah 43:4

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." -Romans 8:1

'I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.' -Psalm 139:14


We are more because we are His. God is alive and active, and He loves us so much that He sent His one and only son to die for us on a cross. One that we deserved to die on. But by His stripes, we are healed. Remember, you are made worthy through the blood of Jesus Christ. You are desired and chased after by the Creator of the stars, the One Who knows every single grain of sand. So when you don't feel worthy: reflect, pray, and read the word of God, His love letter to you. Don't listen to the lies, listen to the truth. The truth of the One True King. Remember who you are: you are His. You are WORTHY, you are LOVED, you are CHERISHED, you are BEAUTIFUL, you are ENOUGH. I wanna end with some lyrics from Tenth Avenue North's song You are More:

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

'Cause this is not about what you've done,
But what's been done for you.
This is not about where you've been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

This is not about what you feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you loved
.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
