Be Careful in College

This is something I wrote on a Christian FB group:


Be careful in college.

From first hand experience, I know what it's like when the friends in your dorm are going to a party and you
don't want to be left alone so you go along, even if you do decide not to "party." Being in such an
environment can taint you. It tainted me. I haven't been keeping up with God's Word, I've been going to
parties, and I have been lying to myself. Worst of all, I am a representative of Christ, but I myself am not acting Christ-like.College is dangerous for the spirit and the Devil is thriving in college.
But I will no longer allow him to. I am a daughter of Christ and everything is possible through Christ. I thank
Jesus for his saving grace, because without it, I would be lost and bound for hell. I need to constantly remind
myself that I am not of this world and that the world and its evils, regardless of how tempting, should not
prevail over me. My flesh is weak, but with prayer and staying connected to God I will walk on the straight and narrow.
Pray for me please, I will pray for you all as well.
 I was really coming from a defeated place when I wrote this. I felt very shameful. I still do, but I know God will deliver me from it.
