OneWord365: Identity
This year I have decided to participate in OneWord365, something that I am both excited and a little apprehensive about doing. I spent a lot of time thinking, reflecting, and praying about the one word that I wanted to spend 2012 focusing on and only one thing kept coming to mind over and over again. [...]

I Am Me
Have you ever tried your hardest to be something you’re not? Tried to fit in with a group of people by talking about something you thought was dumb or saying you liked a band or a movie because everyone else did even though you’ve never heard or seen them? I think we all do it [...]
